  I filed a claim on the warranty app on 7/7 the moment i figured out that my charging port on my nightstand wasnt charging. I had trouble with the app. it kept just circling around and setting me back. I was getting so frustrated. (this happened to me 3/2023 same issue with the other nightstand) This is so frustrating because noone at the store can help you and keep referring you to the app. I called on friday the 12th because i havent heard back from anyone. I spoke to a man on the phone that said i filed it after 60 days i explained that that is an error because i filed it at the same time as i found out. I said that i was having trouble with the app and maybe the date was messed up during that. He said nothing he can do and that i cant speak to a supervisor. I hung up very upset. I called Value City and explained that i paid the 5 year warranty plan and that i am not getting any help from them. They said i can call back and absolutely speak to a supervisor so i called warranty place back on 15th and spoke to a supervisor who said same thing filed out of date and nothing cant be done. I said i already paid for my warranty in full and there is no damage on my part it just stopped working just like the same other one i have. I said the date musta got changed as i was having trouble with the app he said again i cant be helped. I just dont understating how i can pay thousands of dollars to them and be told im out of filing date when i paid for the extra 5 years. The night stand sits and is in perfect condition and this happened to the other night stand so i feel like they are faulty. I sent an email to dispute my claim on the 12th and never got an answer from them either. I am a human I make mistakes typing. The app made mistakes while i was filing and i dont feel like i should of paid for a 5 year warranty if i cant get any resolution with the product that i paid in full for and got an extra warranty.

  My husband and I were searching for a new couch and found the perfect piece at American Signature Furniture in ********. Since we are from **, this was our last stop. The price was decent, at 2800. This included taxes, delivery, and a 5-year warranty. We put down $1800 and credited the rest for one year. (the payments of $70 per month have already begun; we got the first bill one month ago.) We purchased it on May 5th, and the delivery date was August 6th. I was upset that the date was so far out, but we were told that this was one of their most desirable products and there were many people ahead of us. I got a call from the company a few weeks later, and then they stated that the delivery date would be July 16th, next Tuesday. I logged in to my account yesterday, one week out as I was making arrangements to rid my other sofas, and it said the new "pick up date" is after Sept 24th. My husband and I called the store, and the employee was very kind. They stated that the salesperson should have said that the date is constantly changing due to availability and that they would let us know as soon as anything changes. I messaged headquarters today and asked for the name and number of the manufacturer, and they said that "per Policy," they are not able to release that information. We chose this sofa set because my back L5 is damaged, and what we have now is breaking. We spent three months looking for this furniture. They didn't offer any compensation. Only a 100% refund if we want to look for something else.

  Dear ****************,
  
  We apologize for the inconvenience this is causing you and want to ensure that we do everything possible to get merchandise for our customers. Due to us having to wait on the dates of availability from the manufacturers, we want to advise that all dates are tentative, and are not guaranteed.Delays can also be caused by high demand for a product and/or a customer pushing their original date out further.  We do not compensate for delays but if you would like to keep your merchandise, we can discuss compensation once delivery is successful. Once your items are delivered, you would just call the store or our customer care team at ************** and they would discuss options with you for compensation. We do also want to advise that we also receive early arrivals daily as well, but it is not guaranteed. If the manufacturer can get the merchandise to us sooner, they notify us and the store then notifies you.
  
  Sincerely,

  Value City Furniture has failed to delivery my purchased product in multiple occasions. They also tried to pass of returned damaged product as new on the last delivery. The managers are I trust worthy and have been billing me without delivering on the products. 2 months and they continue to try to harass me with phone calls from their warehouse and store. The manager threatened me with the police when I said I was planning on visiting his store to complain in person. He is rarely available when I call, but expects I will should be available at their leisure. Terrible service and threatening behavior.

  Today's Date: 7/5/2024 I ordered a recliner from this business and noticed that the recliner was defective. I called the customer service line and spoke with the manager of the store, ******* to report this issue and was offered an option to have it repaired. I declined that offer and instead requested a refund because I had only had the chair for four months and the bought the chair brand new. The store did not have any more chairs of this type in stock and I informed customer service that I did not want the same type of chair because there was a possibility of that also being defective. The company declined my request for a refund. I then requested the possibility of another chair for the company and that request was also declined. Item Number: 5900RCL13-DW

  I bought sectional furniture at American signature furniture ******* on 06/12/2023 and I received them on 04/01/2024 and in March one of the chairs did not open, I called several times but they seemed to ignore me so I went to the ******* store where they were I bought and commented on what was happening. They had to send a person, because a few days later they came to check and the response was the engine is not working. Days went by, I had not received any information, so I returned to *******'s store again, a customer service lady told me. What was wrong was the engine. You had to ask the manufacturer for it and it took 4 to 6 weeks. Time passed and I didn't return to the store. I spoke to the manager and the answer was that this was requested from the manufacturer. I really believe that It is fair to make an investment of $5164.92 for an item and after 2 months it does not work. I feel cheated because if I bought this item it was because I needed it but now they are uncomfortable furniture because they do not work as they really sell them. These stores should be more honest and in the information of the articles they should place this information...REMEMBER THESE ITEMS ARE DISPOSABLE, THEY ARE NOT QUALITY PRODUCTS. It would be the pleasure. I would not recommend this store, they have not solved the problem, we are already 5 months away from having furniture so we cannot use it. I remind you that I did not buy at the factory, I bought them at the store, and how is it possible that the quality is so bad that the They are made to serve for the time it is delivered to the customer so that the battle belongs to the consumers. They should put more rules where customers are protected. I need them to change the damaged part or give me my money back. Now I do not accept repairs for a product only with 1 month use.

Yo no recomendaria esta tienda no me han resuelto el problema estamos ya con 5 meses para tener muebles para no poder usar.Les recuerdo yo no compre en la factoria se los compre en la tienda ademas como es posible que la calidad sea tan pesima que los hacen para que sirvan durante el tiempo que sea entregado al cliente para que ********** sea de los comsumidores .Deberian de poner mas reglas donde **** protrjidos los clientes.Necesito que me cambien la parte daada o me devuelvan el dinero ahora no acepto reparaciones por un producto solamente con uso de 1 mes

  I purchased my sectional and warranty in 2022. We had an issue with the couch we purchased and contacted the warranty company to come out and fix the structure issue. The sectional base had caved in. The plywood base was fixed not replaced by redrilling holes into the base. Because the base collapsing it caused our cushion to have a permanent dip in the middle. The warranty company sent their repair man to my home on 3/1/24 to fix the problem. he would put in a request to value city to issue me a new cushion since it was damaged by the cheap piece of furniture they sold me in 2022. Since 3/1/24 I have NOT heard back from value city. I called to verify where my cushion was and was told my employees that there was never an order put in. At this point I am so fed up with value city. I feel taken advantage of my value city and the sales people. I fell lied to by what the company represents and how they train their sales people to manipulate you into purchasing a warranty that they clearly do not stand behind. The couch base is not sturdy at all. It is not safe to sit on because I am constantly scared the faulty plywood base will crack again. My safety concerns were not acknowledged nor were they addressed with value city or the warranty company. At this point I am so tired of calling and trying to get a resolution that I have turned to the BBB to help me get a refund or complete replacement of the faulty sectional I purchased.

  Dear ********************,
  
  Thank you for contacting us and sharing your feedback and concerns. We do apologize this has not been resolved and expectations have not been met. Typically, when parts are ordered it can take 4-12 weeks to arrive sometime longer due to where they are being ordered from. Based on the information provided, because this was initially a warranty claim you would need to contact them directly for an update or to request a full replacement as we can not overturn any decisions made by the warranty company. Please contact them at ************** and request to speak with a supervisor for further assistance.
  
  If you have any additional questions, please feel free to respond to this email or call our ******************** at **************. Our office is open from 9am 7pm EST Monday through Friday and Saturday 9am-6pm EST.

  [If you do not say why you are rejecting the company's response, BBB must close your complaint.] 
  
  Complaint: 21924047
  
  I am rejecting this response because: I have contacted yhe warranty company on several occasions and was told to contact value city regarding the cushion and overall state of the couch since this was a structural and cushion defect. I have also been directed to contact the warranty company on values city behalf because value city is not takin action. So both parties are not cooperating and giving me answers. So I resorted to contact the BBB or I will also be obtaining an attorney if this is not resolved. The 4-12 weeks process was never mentioned to be. Regardless, it is coming up on 12 weeks and I have not received any contact what so ever from both parties which is absolutely unacceptable and unprofessional.

  Dear ********************,
  
  Thank you for contacting us and sharing your feedback and concerns. After further investigation we did investigate this matter further to assist you to the best of our ability. The warranty company has confirmed the claimed was closed out due to the initial issue that was covered being repaired during service. They did mention you requested new cushions to be ordered due to loss of resiliency however, this is not something covered under warranty,so they did not proceed with this request. We do apologize if there has been any confusion, if the base of the sectional is still having issues you would need to refile a claim as the initial report is showing resolved.

  I am rejecting this response because I was told when I purchased the warranty initially by your sales rep in the ********** IL location, that cushions WERE covered and that is why we upgraded to a memory foam cushion which was also an additinal out of pocket expense. I am extremely disappointed in your customer service and the way your company trains your employees to be completely dishonest to customers. This is NOT ok and I will seek further action.

  I purchased a white sectional from value city in Feb the delivery driver dropped the sectionals on the floor damaging my wood floor as well as the sectional I reached out to value they sent out a technician who didn’t even looked at the broken piece stated that someone scotch guarded the furniture incorrectly and send pictures to value city and value city denied to fix my furniture I tried going thru the extended warranty company stated that they couldn’t help me because I didn’t call when it first happened we I reached out to the Gm of value city he directly came out and stated I couldn’t come into his store any more I am just being black and wanted new furniture i simply replied I came into the store didn’t use a credit card or anything and paid cash for my furniture so I believe that I have new furniture he then proceeded to tell me that I was rude to his workers so he don’t have time to deal with this shit and I am not getting any new furniture now I am stuck with furniture that I can’t use and value city is not trying to repair let alone replace so it’s sitting in the garage and I have to go buy more furniture I have been purchasing furniture with value city over 16 years and I will never purchase anything from them again I was racially abused as well as profiled the Gm didn’t respect my purchase or me as a human being money is hard to come buy and for you to disregard my concerns is very displeasing to a consumer who has spend money on the consistent basic I called corporate they were suppose to get someone to come out they never came out to review the the merchandise I think at this point it’s safe to assume that if it doesn’t affect there home or their money it doesn’t matter

  Dear ****** ******,
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We are sorry for any frustration this has caused you. We have reviewed your invoice ********0.  After futher review our notes indicate on 4/1/24, you reported an stain on the cushion and the RAF cushion being smashed in the middle. Per the report taken by the service technician, the sofa had been scotch guarded by the customer which will void out the manufactory warranty. The service report also stated the 3PC SECTIONAL-SERENITY has no manufactory defects and is up to standards.
  
  We will not be moving forward with any additional services, due to the sofa being scotch guarded.
  Thank you
  Dominique

  Dear ****** *****r,

  We can schedule another service technician to come out and complete an inspection. If the techician's report comes back that the sectional is scotch guarded we will not be able to move forward. I will schedule a techician to come back and inspect the sectional for any manufactory defects.
   Please allow 24-72 for a technician to contact you.
  
  Thank you
  Dominique
