Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, reasons for rejection are included below.Muenchen Furniture has not resolved my complaint.I asked for bdrm furniture to be delivered, I was told by Marion that they will not deliver bdrm furniture unless I accept delivery of sofa set. As i stated; do not want sofa set as it does now not go with the rest of furniture in home after furniture ordered was not available. This issue cancels all livingroom furniture, now.Marion stated they would sell sofa set and refund me my money. However, that was a lie yas well. Totally unethical. Now they want to hold my bdrm set ransom bc I refuse to accept delivery of sofa set.Because of their unethical business practice of lying about furniture availability and holding bdrm furniture ransom, I no longer want any furniture from this business. Since they are so unethical I believe they will deliver damaged goods.Unless this unethical business is not providing me 100% refund this is unresolved to my satisfaction.1. First and foremost this is My Money and no store makes decisions regarding my money.
2. Per the owner Jeff, he bragged about how busy his store's business is as they have lots of rich customers. Based off his bragging he should have absolutely zero issues selling the furniture. Sounds to me like he is angry bc he does not have $10,000 of my money, due to his lies.. He obviously, expects all his customers to purchase large sums of furniture and if they renig on the purchase due to his lie of furniture availability he needs to demand to get $6200.00 of my money no matter what he did. The sofa is null and void due to the other furniture all snow balling due to his lie on furniture. I stated I would keep bedroom set bc it was in a different room. However, now due to his unethical businessl behavior, he decided to hold bedroom furniture ransom to force my hand to accept sofa that does not go in my home. I refuse to accept any furniture from him, now. It's obvious, my $3,000 for bedroom furniture was not good enough for him.
3. Now I want a complete 100% refund of the $6,300 of my money. I will not accept any furniture from Muenchens. I demand that MY money is refunded in Full and that he sell the furniture to his rich customers.
His behavior of demanding to keep my money when I now want none of it, is very contradictory.
By not refunding my money he is contradicting his bragging of rich customers that he easily sells to. After all he sells top quality furniture...so literally he should have no issues selling the furniture. Refunding my money in full allows him to move forward to easily sell the furniture to his many rich customers. He Appears to be a negative controlling person.
oney ransom bc I refuse delivery of sofa...it does not go with my furniture I have...the entire purpose was for all furniture to arrive in a normal time frame of 8 weeks. That didn't happen and I don't need the sofa......unethical business practice..lying and deceiving a senior citizen. Now rhat he is holding my bedroom furniture ransom and refusing to sell my sofa I want all money credited. Do not trust him to deliver quality in bdrm set now. $2909 he owes in bedroom and $3,300 for sofa set.
Regards,

Only resolution now is my money completely credited for bdrm and sofa set.Business Response

Some popular items become backordered, or statuses can change. All items ordered by customer are non-stocked items and needed to be special ordered. All times were/are estimated and can change. It is our practice to update customers and keep them informed of the status of their order. On 8/5/23 client custom ordered Livingroom furniture. We updated the client on 8/23/23,9/2/23 and 9/18/23 with shipping/production status to be completed on or around 10/10/23. On 10/12/23 we have received clients living room furniture and was ready to schedule for delivery. We have contacted client 8 times since to schedule with the response my room is not ready. On 4/13/24 client came into warehouse and inspected furniture. Customer was happy with the furniture and was not ready to take possession as they needed to move their old set. We had given them 3 points of contact to remove any old existing furniture. The owner had also made an exception to have our delivery team will help in removal and placement to accommodate their furniture needs at no charge. At that time client picked out a special-order area rug, dining table, 4 side chairs, buffet and hutch, 2 end tables, and complete bedroom set with adjustable base. The client paid for all items in full at that time and we were not to ordering anything until the client confirms the order. We had two other consultations during that time, making changes and client made their final decision on 5/4/24, we had the discussion there is no cancellation on this order and items can take 8-12 weeks to come in as stated on their signed invoice. Customer was fine with that as their home was not ready as they would need to make arraignments to remove their old furniture. The owner offered assistance at removing their old furniture in case they were unsuccessful. Client was so happy they had suggested working at the store if anything would ever change. On 5/16/24 we notified client that the hutch and buffet was estimated to arrive in September, providing no factory delays that are out of our control. Customer approved the wait period. On 5/21/24 we had contacted customer that all items were in, and we are ready to schedule delivery and set up on entire order except buffet and hutch as it is on back order. Customer was not ready for delivery and had decided to cancel the dining room furniture and matching end tables since the buffet and hutch was on back order. We normally don't cancel special order items as discussed however we will make this exception and we refund those items in full $4288.32 and are ready to schedule their delivery and setup. Customer stated they are not ready to schedule. As we have been holding paid in full furniture for this client since 8/5/2023 trying to schedule the delivery many times. We have exhausted all resources for this client to accommodate their furniture needs including staying 2 hours past store closing hours to assist in selections and finishings. We have contacted client by phone, e-mail and postage mail to schedule their delivery. Both invoices are ready since 5/21/24 to schedule. Please call ###-###-#### to schedule today. We are open 7 days a week. Monday through Saturday 10-7 and Sundays 11-5. We will even assist at moving your old furniture at no charge.Business Response
