      Purchased a dining set from value city in *************.. I promised to have the furniture 9/24, that fell through and I was assured that on 10/6 it would be delivered. Today is 10/6, I had not received any update on delivery times so I called in to the store. I was told that on 9/30 I was notified of yet another delay. I checked my email and all that was sent to me was another copy of my purchase receipt. There was no verbiage in the body of the email advising of yet another delay. When I called in to the store and spoke with Alec P********* he was rude, overly aggressive, interrupted me and over talked me continuously. He never once apologized or let me know what he could do to help the situation. He said I could either wait or cancel my order. I just want a concrete delivery day and my delivery fee returned. I also asked to speak with the regional manager and asked for his/her contact information and was told they didn't have a phone so there was no number to give me. Can someone please help me? There was no delay taking my money, why is there a delay getting the product I paid for?

      In July of 2021, I purchased furniture with my Value City Credit Card (********* ****) for a little over 2100. Less than a week later, I decided to change the furniture I had purchased. I went back to the store and told them I wanted to change my furniture. Instead of voiding out the original furniture purchase, they just charged the difference in the cost to my value city account, which was a little over 1200. The new furniture purchased had a promo for 3 year no interest.

      In October of 2021, it was explained that the first charge fell under a one year promo and the second charge has a three year promo. To avoid paying interest, I should pay the full amount of the first charge within a year. I paid more than the 2100 for the first charge by July of 2022 by paying more than the minimum payment throughout the year.

      Fast forward to September of 2022, I login to ********* **** to pay my Value City bill and I notice I have a promo expiring and it says I owe 600 by September 23, 2022 in order to not pay interest on the first charge, so I called ********* ****. I was told that anything over the minimum payment was applied to the second charge and not the first charge, which doesn't make sense, when both charges were made to the same card. Also, if I only made the minimum payment, I would have not paid off the full 2100 for the first charge, so I had to make more than the minimum payment. When I called before no one told me this, I asked where is this written in the agreement and how would I know this information. The ********* **** manager told me there was nothing he could do, it's how Value City set it up.. I called Value City and spoke to Donna, who informed me the first purchase should have been voided out and charged once for the furniture. They are currently working on this, but this is predatory. I am very serious about my finances and I can only imagine how many people are spending money on interest that they don't truly owe.

      I am not happy with the resolution proposed by Value City Furniture. They did remove the interest; however, I am still getting charged two separate minimum payments on the same credit card  for the same purchase, which has me paying 95 dollars a month when I only owe 1007.41. They have me under two different promotions, even though I only made one purchase. One promotion is July 2024 and the other is September 2024. This is ridiculous and I think that this is terrible customer service. The staff did what was best/easier for them and not the customer. I would like my purchase to be under one promotion and then I will only have one minimum payment.


      Thank you,

      On 9/7/2022, I purchased 2 bar stools and paid extra for value city to assemble and deliver the barstools to my home. Bar stools were delivered on 9/13/2022. Both bar stools were poorly assembled therefore caused the front ledge on both barstools to come off where you rest your feet on. Also you can see the screws from other parts of the bar stool which means they are unsafe to sit in. On 9/26/22, I talked to and emailed Raja Z****** requesting new bar stools or a refund. I emailed Raja Z****** the pics and a I sent a follow up up email with no response. I either want the bar stools replaced with new ones or a refund. Response requested. Thanks in Advance.

      I purchased a sectional from this store two years ago with an extended warranty. I have had a claim open with the extended warranty company since Feb. 2022 for a replacement portion. The Warranty Company has stated repeatedly that they have already sent an order for the store to replace the couch however American signature furniture in Morrow never has it cannot locate it tells us they’ll call us back never does. We cannot get any resolution nor is the store willing to follow up or correct the problem the warranty company doesn’t even know what they need to do now either with the store. We need the replacement part. Each person at the Morris store says the order is at another place then we try to get them to help us and there is never any resolution all since Feb. 2022

      obtained any longer, an email was sent to you with a cash settlement offer on
      yesterday.

      Please respond to that email or reach out to Uniters directly
      at ###-###-#### and they can assist you with completing this claim.

      I ordered 6 dinning chairs from the company website and was sent a receipt for the purchase. The purchase receipt did not say anything about a 15% restocking fee. When I received the chairs the color of the chairs did not look anything like the photos on the website. I returned the chairs to the store and was told I had to pay a restocking fee of 15%. This does not make sense, only one out of the 3 boxes had been opened and the reason for the return is false advertisement. The photo should reflect what the chair looks like in person which it does not. I would like the full refund given with no restocking fee. I called customer service twice and was hung up on both times.

      I Purchased a recliner on June 25th 2022 its 3 months late and recliner broke. So i call the store because supposedly i have 1 year warranty so its only 3 months. So when i call the first thing asked is has it been more than a year not can help you. So then i explain and they tell me i need to bring the 120 pound recliner to the store i replied you got to be kidding me instead of lets make an appointment for someone to come out and fix
      i find this is ridiculous so why offer a 1 year warranty. Everyone does not have access to a moving truck etc.. or take time to take items back if they offered to replace i would understand then that makes sense. So i leave my recliner and lets say i dont get it back for what ever reason now i am trying to get my money back not a grea way to do business

      I purchased my furniture back in February 2022 and within a month the front support on my sofa broke. I filed my claim with them in early April. They've scheduled and moved service dates 3 times without informing me. When I finally got a service and they ordered the replacement, they sent me the wrong piece. This has been a 6 month long process without getting anywhere.

      Value City furniture promised me a 2 piece sectional. I bought it and when the sofa came it was damaged and stained. I spoke to one of the representative asking that I wanted a refund which it was on the 7 day time frame but now that I see that there is no action I called and they said they are not allowed to help me when it was my fault that the sofa came in DAMAGED AND STAINED!!! It’s unbelievable how bad the service is and how they treat people. I understand if the sofa was fine that they are not allowed to help me but what am I going to do with a dirty sofa??? They are stealing people’s money and that’s certainly not okay.

      damaged and stained chaise to be exchanged. We w*** bring a new one out to you
      and pickup the damaged item. This is what I have currently set up to hold the
      date in place in case you choose this option. The item can be exchanged as soon
      as 10/11/22. The third option would be to allow the return for refund of the
      item. Please reach out to Customer Care or your purchasing store location with the
      decision or to adjust the date of the exchange.

      for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions

      I purchased a sectional in April 2021. It took 6 weeks and came in May 2021. In Feb of 2022 I started a repair service as 2 pieces of my sectional were coming apart in the seems that we do not have access too. It has a 5 year warranty and a 1 year manufacturer warranty. The sales rep who sold us the sectional advised us that the warranty will cover all rips, broken pieces and if anything happens in the first year it would automatically be replaced. They refused to replace it but instead sent a service tech out. He said to take the 2 pieces off the sectional and set them aside to avoid any more tearing. He said he ordered 2 new slip covers that will be in around May 2022 and that when they arrive they would send someone out to install them and put our couch back together. I called in May, nothing. I called in June and July, still nothing, I called twice in August and they said they would look into it and call me back. I called 3 times this week (9/26/2022), got transferred to corp, then to Sterling heights (where I purchased it from ) then to Utica location. I was told that they show I picked the slips up, never did. I cant install them so why would I. I asked for a manager 3 times this week, no one will call me back or fix this issue. I want my sectional replaced. Its been almost a year of not being able to use 2 sections of it. This is insane.

      Dear Ms. ****,

         We do apologize that this has been your experience
      with our company. We want to put forth our very best effort to resolve this complaint.

         Per our information the pieces that needed the
      fabric were the two armless chairs. We will only replace the items that were
      damaged during the original one-year warranty. The remaining pieces are out of
      the one year manufactures warranty and will not be replaced.  In order to have these two pieces exchanged, please
      reach out to the purchasing store location so they can set the two Armless
      Chairs up for an exchange.

          We apologize
      for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions
      or concerns, you may contact your purchasing store location or Customer Care at ************.

      Sincerely,

      I see that the manufacturer has sent a message, but I am not getting any notification on this, and they need a response from me. I would like the money refunded to my **** card, not the Value city credit card. The message will not let me respond to them. Please advise.
