      I bought a king mattress from you 5 years ago and it was coming apart. Someone came out to look at it and said they would return it and gave me an in store credit because VC no longer carried the mattress.
      I then went in to VC and picked out two twin xl different mattresses, one tempurpedic for myself and one sealy mattress for my husband. I then went back, the next day, bought more furniture totalling $8000 in furniture. I wanted one ticket and the woman would not cancel the receipt from the day before so it could all be on one ticket. She made two tickets. The first ticket I used a in store credit towards my new items. One of the items I purchased a twin xl tempurpedic for $2600 after they delivered, it caused back pain. I already have a grade 2 in my L5 spondylolisthesis which causes disk slipping. I purchased a mattress protector and wanted to return so someone came out to inspect the mattress. They wrote up the mattress is fine with no marks or defects.
      I called VC and the woman at the calumet store said they would not return the mattress and did not honor the 120 Night In-Home Sleep Guarantee. I told her I want the same sealy mattress my husband has on the ticket due to back pain caused by the tempupedic which feels like I am sleeping on a rock. She was very rude and said it was considered a replacement and fell under a warranty over 5 years ago. She said I could not get a replacement because they didn’t carry that mattress anymore which is why they gave me a store credit for ANY merchandise I wanted to purchase. I said your guarantee is 120 Night In-Home Sleep Guarantee. I paid almost $3000 for a mattress that is causing me pain and I just want the same mattress as my husband because it’s soft and doesn’t hurt my back. Nobody told me this the day of purchase if the mattress doesn’t work they won’t honor 120 Night In-Home Sleep Guarantee or I would NEVER have spent $3000 on a mattress let alone came back to purchase $8000 of MORE furniture

      this item is a twin Xl it does not qualify for the reselection under the 120

      On 2/27/2021 I purchased 5pc Gemini gray rectangular dining table and 4 side chairs, I put in a claim in 12/2022 was sent an notification it was approved and followed instructions, now everytime I call the store to see when they will deliver the new chairs they keep giving me a story they don’t see my claim number and they will call me back it’s now been 6 months and not return call or resolution. I was better off not purchasing the warranty plan if I knew this was going to be a problem. If they can’t fulfill my request by replacing my chairs then they can just refund the $139.00 that I paid extra for the warranty because it serves me no use and a waste of my money while being under the impression the process was simple and easy.

      I purchased a sofa with chaise
      Soon after the chaise started to collapse in the back it was returned and replaced
      The second one is now doing the same thing
      They had a service person come out and he told me it needed more cushion in the back
      And now they are saying it’s just wear and tear , this sofa is mint condition I have it covered at all times and I’m the only one sitting on it I weigh 130 lbs. Hardly heavy enough to break a sofa
      I paid $2500.
      I’m not looking for free I’m looking for my moneys worth and quality
      I keep getting different people and they playing games

      Dear *****,


      I’m sorry to hear that you are still waiting for a
      follow-up after your service call. I understand how frustrating this must be
      for you. I’ve investigated the service call, and I can see that we are able to
      approve you for an even exchange on the chaise portion or we can offer a
      reselection on The Big Softie Set. The set includes the Armless Recliner, RAF
      Recliner, and the LAF Recliiner.


      Under the manufacturer's warranty, we will conduct
      repairs on any defects. If the item cannot be repaired to factory
      specifications, the item will be replaced with the same or comparable, merchandise.
      This offer would expire on 10/3/23. Please let us know if you would need an extension
      on the date.

      On June 18, 2023 I purchased a furniture set from VCF it was two recliner, a love seat, and a sofa. Before I purchased the furniture I asked if it was possible if they could have all pieces moved to the store before purchase. They told me I need to purchase the furniture before they would ship it. Since it was a closeout sale on the brand of furniture and it was being discontinued I went ahead and purchased the the set. It can out to $6,300.00. I was told that they had one recliner in stock and had to call another store to collect the other. All pieces where accounted for and that everything would be delivered on July 12, 2023. On July 12, 2023 I received no phone call or update on the status of the furniture. I called to inquire on the location of my new furniture seeing that I had donated the old furniture to make space for the new. The Rep told me that there was no information on my order what so ever in the system. How is there no information in the system when I paid it in full and have a receipt? She asked if I would like to talk to the store I said yes and she transferred me over. I then spoke to a Rep from the store and was told the same thing. The manager then came on the phone looked at my information and told me that he was going to look in to it and give me a call back. I waited 45 minutes no phone call and proceed to make my way to the store. When I arrived I talk to the Rep at the front and the manager quickly came over to explain to me that the system had an update and they had no way of knowing because we where lost in the update. There is no way I could get my furniture today because one of the recliners I purchased doesn't exist, the other is in transit, the love seat will not arrive till the 15th and the sofa till the 21-26. He then said I can give you the floor sofa for a discount. How was I able to purchase a product that doesn't exist? Why would they take over $6,000 from a customer without a product to deliver?

      Dear Ms. *******
      Thank You for reaching out. While we understand
      your frustrations, our policy states there is a 15% restocking when merchandise
      is returned within the 7-day time frame.
      We see the restocking fee of 15% was $152.99, your
      restocking fee was discounted down to $50.00.
      At the time we spoke to you over the phone on
      6/16/23, and 7/5/23 there was no mention of any damage or issues with the base.
      The return was allowed after the 7-days, the base
      was delivered on 6/5/23 and returned on 6/16/23. We allowed the return as a courtesy.
      Below is our link to the policies on the site:
      ****************************************************
      We also see you signed a pickup check list; I have
      attached this to the complaint as well. The check list explains the restocking

      I am rejecting this response because: I am not in agreement with this company's response because they are lying about me retuning the item with no complaints of it working properly. The reason for the return was because I couldn't get it to work and it was missing parts. Also, I never received a receipt when I initially purchased the item because the system was down for them to issue me a receipt. never once did they state the store return policy at the time of purchase. I attempted to contact the store customer service on several occasions and they gave me the run around transferred me person to person and I requested to speak to the highest authority on two of the occasions and they said he would contact me back never did that occur. Also, they tried to tell me i could have went to the website to find out their return. I personally feel that isn't my job to look on the website if I didn't purchase this item off their website. I am requesting a full refund of my money that was spent on this purchase.

      Dear Ms. *******,

      Thank you so much for contacting us and sharing your
      feedback and concerns, we do apologize for the issues you are experiencing with
      your table. We did do further review on the issues reported as well as reviewed
      the pictures you provided. At this time, we are unable to move forward with
      your request due to the issues reported are not caused by a manufacturer
      defect. We do apologize but the table was delivered in manufacturer’s standard conditions
      with no visible damages or reports of damages within the first 7 days of
      receiving. So, the issues reported would be considered to be accidental and not
      covered under our warranty.

      Dear Ms. *******,

      Thank you for your correspondence, we do understand the
      issue reported was within 30 days however the issue was determined to be
      customer caused. The manufacturer’s warranty covers flaws in the way the table

      with no flaws or error when delivered. At this time we are unable to proceed
      with your claim.

      Your wrong if you look at pictures its not a spill type accident. The table in 30 days have started to wear down on edges that's a fabrication problem i have bought many tables and never have  had a brand new table start to wear down like that with in 30 days. The insurance that i purchased from you have said the same thing that its a manufacture defect. You sold me this insurance. I'm 82 years old i don't have money to just throw away i feel like i was taken advantage of  by you. You lied to me....

      I'm sending a claim of harassment from this company. Awhile ago a friend of mine purchased some furniture from this store and put my name and 2 others as a reference. The first time I was ok they needed proof this person. Then the calls keep coming for over a month. They are still calling but with a message from me telling the person to call them. I have spoken to my friend about it he says they are calling him and hanging up or trying to charge him extra money after he had paid his bill. They are also calling his other references too.

      The Value City I actually purchased my couch and love seat from was located at 4*** *********** *** ********** ** ****** In January 2022 I purchased a sectional. When the sectional was delivered the gentleman delivering the sectional accidentally cut the fabric with his box cutter. When the new piece was delivered it was not the same color. My color had been discontinued. Therefore, I had to come in a get a new couch and love seat. I received it on July 19, 2022. During this time I was during the credit card 12 months same as cash to save 20%. When talking with the manager she explained to me that I would have a year to pay off the couch starting from the delivery date. The purchase date of the second set of couches was June. When I called to pay off the couches on July 8, 2023, Synchrony Bank, explained that I had purchased the couch in January. I tried to explain that it was June and they were delivered in July. She said there was nothing she could do since it was 6 months after the purchase. That I needed to reach out to Value City. When reaching out to Value City she said that the first couch was not out in as a return, but as an exchange and there was nothing she could do. I asked to speak with her boss. She explained that her boss was in a meeting and they would call me back. This was July 7, 2023. It is now July 10, 2023 and I have not heard from anyone. I have attempted to call back, but was placed on hold for 38 minutes. There is $1,265.96 in interest that has been applied to the card. I do not believe I should have to pay this interest fee due to paying off my card, one year from the purchase of my second couch. Especially since the management told me that I had one year to pay it off which I did.

      I am rejecting this response because: this is not acceptable.  I was even told by management that I would need to have it paid in full by July.  I hope that this is not a matter that I will have to take to small claims and have to stop shopping at your establishment due to lack of customer satisfaction.  I am only asking you to do what is right.  Synchrony Bank even told me all they needed your company to do is call and explain and they could change the dates.
