    We purchased two sofas from Gamburgs along with a protection plan. Within months, both sofas had defects. We filed a claim. An appointment was made to remedy the situation. A few days later, Gamburgs contacted us and informed us that they would not be honoring the agreement.

    Dear *** *******, 
     
    We have only just received your letter on Saturday November 12, 2022 concerning our customer *** ****. We would have promptly responded had we seen the notice previously. 
     
    We are including a faxed copy of the original sale in question to help clarify the situation. The sale was on clearance merchandise from a factory that we stopped doing business with prior to covid shutdown. 
     
    We had some leftover inventory that we marked down and tagged as clearance. We had some inventory in the warehouse, so we delivered brand new factory wrapped merchandise to this customer even though she paid the discounted price. The sale was stamped **SOLD AS IS/ NO SERVICE** as we are not able to get parts to service the customer. 
     
    The salesperson mistakenly sold a protection plan to this customer. When the customer called for service, 10 months after delivery, we had no way of being able to take care of the problem as we no longer can get parts and the protection plan company will not honor a sale stamped 'sold as is/ no service'. We of course apologized for the error and refunded the customer $320.00 plus tax immediately. 
    We have been in business at this address for over 90 years and we have always honored warranties when possible and will continue to do so. In this particular case, we would try to help even though the customer purchased clearance but are unable to order parts. 
     
    Thank you, 
    Walter B***
