I purchased a 14 inch memory foam Ashley brand mattress less than 4 years ago. Upon purchase, I was told there was a 10 year warranty that came with this mattress. Over the past few weeks, I noticed white flaking coming off of the mattress. I tried vacuuming, but this white flaking is continuing and seems as though the mattress is disintegrating . I called the store where it was purchased from and they told me that the warranty for the mattress only covers "dents" and "humping ." I find that ridiculous and I feel like my mattress has some kind of defect for it to be flaking and deteriorating like this. My home is clean, nothing has ever been spilled on this mattress and it is covered by a mattress protector at all times.I'm asking for a replacement of this mattress (if it's still in production? ) or an exchange of an evenly comparable mattress. Thank you for your time.Business Response

I purchased four dinning chairs in Ashley store at "******************************". Detailed in attached receipt. They looked at worked fine. About few days ago, one leg of one chair broke off and when checking the leg, I found out that the leg pieces was broken into three pieces there are glue remainings on three pieces. It must have been glued back without any perminant repair on the chair before sold to me. Would like to get a refund of the chair, since selling a chair with severe safety concern is not acceptable.Business Response

Hi there, ******!
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and the damages to your UPHOLSTERED SIDE CHAIR (D752-01).
Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund or repair services as these items were purchased from our clearance floor.
While we understand your frustrations, our company policy states "Mattresses, foundations, adjustable bases, Bunkie boards, metal rails, pillows, bed linens, mattress protectors, rugs,
accessories, showroom merchandise, and clearance items are not returnable and do not qualify for a refund.". This information is located on page six (6) of your sales receipt under "Order Changes, Cancellations, and Returns".Attached is a signed copy of your sales receipt indicating understanding and acceptance of these terms.
If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at ************.
Kindest regards,Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: The seller tried to cover the fact that the chair was defective with only temporary glue fix. Its hard to identify until the piece broke. As a customer, I accepted as-is clearance condition such as surface chipped, or pre-clear the issues existed. The condition of the chair was not safe to be used, and I was not told any of the information when purchased.Business Response

Dear BBB,
We appreciate you bringing ************ concerns to our attention. We have attempted to resolve this matter directly with ******** but have not been successful in our communication efforts. We would like to address the concerns raised in his recent rejection.
While we understand ************ frustration, we must clarify that the UPHOLSTERED SIDE CHAIR (D752-01) in question has been in his possession for more than one year. Regardless of whether the item was purchased as clearance, "as is," or under regular conditions, it is beyond the one-year period, and all manufacturer warranties are now void.
However, we are committed to providing a solution. ******** can purchase the necessary parts to restore the chair for $15. Additionally, we recommend contacting a third-party furniture restoration company, such as the Furniture Solutions Network, to perform the necessary restoration work.
We regret any inconvenience this may have caused and are here to assist with the purchase of the parts needed for the repair. If ******** has any further questions or requires assistance, we encourage him to reach out to us.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

We ordered a mattress and sheets and a mattress, protector and pillows The store insisted that we take the sheets, the mattress protector, and the pillows that day and we asked can we wait until the mattress gets delivered and they said we would prefer you to take them now so we took them. We called them within two days to cancel our order for the mattress, and we asked to return the mattress, protector and The sheets. They are in the same box that they gave us Unopened. Not used I have I have called and asked them to take back the sheets and mattress protector and I kept getting the runaround for a week. Finally, I spoke to somebody and she said they couldnt take them back once they leave the store. I said this to the manager and she said oh yes, thats happening to a lot of people. Ill have to let the sales staff know. I think its a gimmick they want you to take the stuff knowing that it cant be returned and then youre stuck with it. All I wanna do is return the sheets and the mattress protector and not have to pay for them. Other stores let you return sheets and protectors unopened. Ashley did not tell us they were non returnable. Very dissatisfied with the customer service we are receiving. We put this on their no interest payment plan for 5 years. We just want to return and not have to pay for these 2 items!! In the pictures it is items 2 and 3Business Response
Date: 07/09/2024
Hello,
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! It is our policy that once items have left the store, we do not allow returns. However, as the mattress protector and the sheets are unopened, we have authorized a courtesy return on these two items. Once the items have been received back to the store, we can process the refund.
Thank you,

On June 26, 2024, I purchased bedroom furniture totaling $10, 315.09. I paid in full using **** credit card. The customer code and sales order from the receipt are ********** and **********, respectively.Yesterday, July 2nd, at 2:15pm, I received a call from *****, the sales agent, stating my order, with the exception of the dining room buffet, will be delivered on Thursday, July 4, between 8am and 11am.I immediately made arrangements to have all of my furniture removed from the master's bedroom and made changes to my holiday weekend to accommodate a 4th of July delivery.Yesterday, July 3rd, at 6:22pm, I received a phone call from ***** stating there was an issue with my order and that the bed is not being delivered but has to be reordered. This is unacceptable. I immediately informed Ashley Furniture that I am cancelling the order and require a full refund. I received text messages from ***** attempting to keep my service by offering $200. It was denied. The manager, or a person claiming to be the manager, called and I also told him to cancel the order. He stated he put in the refund request. However, this morning, they attempted to deliver. I politely informed the driver that I had cancelled the order. I took a picture of them leaving for documentation purposes. I am demanding my refund of $10,315.09. Ashley Furniture is not disputing the refund...they are delaying the refund stating I have to wait until the truck returns to D.C. I am not responsible for furniture I did not receive or accept. Nor am I responsible for the driver and the contents in their truck!Business Response
Date: 07/05/2024
Hello,
Unfortunately, our system does not allow us to cancel orders when there are items on the truck because the order is locked on manifest. As soon as the truck was received back to the distribution center, we processed the cancellation and full refund. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

On 6/11/2024 a queen *** set was purchased (platform frame, headboard, bunkie board, and mattress). Items were delivered on 6/21/2024 and put together on 6/22/2024. The bunkie board did not fit the set purchased. I called the same day 6/22/2024 and spoke with *****. She requested photos and measurements, and determined that the measurements of the frame and bunkie board were indeed correct, we were unsure why the bunkie board was not fitting the set. She stated that the frame purchased actually did not need the bunkie board and started the return process as my husband and I do not own a truck and have no way of getting the unused bunkie board back to the store. At 1810 on 6/22/2024 I received an email stating that my return request was denied.On 6/24/2024 I contacted customer service to once again request a refund. Their return policy clearly states that if an item is damaged or defective they accept returns. A bunkie board that does not fit its intended frame is by definition: defective. ******* was quite rude with me, denying that the bunkie board was defective and without warning put me on hold and sent my call to the Raleigh store.The gentleman at the Raleigh store politely took my information, but no word has been returned.This is not a case of buyer's remorse. We are not looking for a return of the entire set. Our only request is to return the bunkie board so it doesn't end up in a landfill, and a refund of the $175.00 we spent on the defective item.Business Response
Date: 06/26/2024
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We have approved a courtesy return of the bunkie board as the item cannot be used. The item is scheduled to be picked up next week and the refund will be processed within approximately 7-10 business days once the item has been received.

I bought furniture strictly on line, never having seen or touched the furniture first. I was not pleased with the quality and feel of the furniture. Their website says returns within 30 days. Did not honor this. I called to process a refund four days after delivery and was told that I only had three days to change my mind. Cannot get anyone to work with me. I am stuck with shoddy furniture that I hate. In talking with ******* reps I was told sorry more times than I could count. So I guess they are Sorry *******. Wouldnt go there.Business Response

I purchased product from Ashley Furniture on March 2nd 2024 for $3,263.47 in which i was told that i would be contacted when the furniture arrives and at that point a delivery date would be scheduled. a month went by and i never received a phone call. i made a call to Ashley's on April 16th around 9am to check on the status of my order and i was told that the product had not arrived yet and that they would call once the product had arrived. Another month went by and I made another phone call to Ashley's on May 3rd to be told that all of my order had arrived except 2 pieces. I asked if their was a date when the other pieces would arrive and i was told by the customer service rep that they could not see a date but would call once the rest of the order had arrived. i then requested to speak to the sales rep at the store. I was then connected to ***** at the store. He told me that the couch that i order was a big seller ant that it would be another month before I received anything and that I should receive a call in June. I called back on June 3rd to check the status once again and was told that the other pieces still had not arrived. I then requested a refund and was told that ***** would have to be the one to process the refund. ***** was not in the store and i was told that i would receive a call back once he came in for his shift at noon. I waited until 2pm for his call in which i never did and i ended up calling back. i told him that i wanted to cancel the order. he stated that he would cancel the order and process the refund and it would take 5-10 business days to receive payment. I called back on Friday June 7th to make sure that the refund was processed and i was told by the customer service rep that the refund was not processed. She stated that she was sending an email to escalate the refund. I called back on Tuesday June 11th to check the status of the refund and i was told that the refund was never processed by *****.Business Response

I purchased a sectional from this exact location on 11/23/2022. I was advised by the sales representative to purchase a warranty which would cover all damages related to furniture. I paid $400 for the warranty with the purchase which has been paid in full. I filed a claim on the couch due to damage from my children. The warranty claim was denied and I was provided the contact information for companies to repair it at my own cost. This was not the information I received and was told the warranty would cover it. I called the store and asked directly "hey, does your warranty cover tips tears ect to upholstery and was told immediately yes. I asked why did the warranty company deny my claim if this is what your sales pitch consists of?" I was put on hold and then told to contact customer care. I contacted customer care today 6/10/2024 @ ************ and was told there was nothing they could do. This is false advertisement on the companies behalf and its misleading to customers. If they do not wish to honor their warranty services I would like a refund on my warranty.Business Response

Hi there, *******!
We would like to take this time to sincerely apologize for the less than premier customer care you have received thus far. Here at Ashley Home Store we believe that every customer is vitally important to us and that every customer deserves our passion, attention, and extensive knowledge.
We acknowledge your frustration and would like to thank you for your patience while we get this resolved for you.
We have contacted ************ on your behalf to get further information as to why the claim was denied. ************ stated, they have denied the claim as the photos show the damage is seam separation which is not covered under their protection plan. They do cover rips and tears but not seam separation.
While we understand that this is an inconvenience for you, ************ is a third party protection plan provider in which we have no authority to override their decisions. Your are outside of your one year manufacturer warranty therefore, we cannot assist with restoration/repairs.
However, you can contact ************ by calling ************ to request a prorated refund for your protection plan. This refund cannot come from Ashley Home Store directly as it has been 2 years since the purchase of the protection plan.
We appreciate the opportunity to review this matter.

Hi there, *******!
While we understand your frustrations, A full refund must be requested within 30 days of delivery. Furthermore, the refund must come from the protection plan provider as they are a separate company than Ashley Home Store. You will need to contact them at ************ to request the refund.
