On Nov 14, 2023 I put a down payment on a couch. I was told that the couch I purchased would be in stock on Dec 10, 2023. I finished paying it off on Dec 7, 2023. I was then told after finishing my purchase, that the couch was on back order until mid December. Mid December came around and my salesman called me and said it would be end of Dec/early Jan. ***** time I called, I would get the same excuse, still on back order. On March 8, 2024, the Asst. ******* (********) called me saying that the couch was actually discontinued and blamed the previous owner (*******************) for the issue. I was told I could get my money back or get a different couch with the $781.54 credit I had. I went in the store the next day March 9, 2024, and picked a different couch. I had a difference of $78.07 owed to me after the purchase. The salesman told me he did not know who was sending out the refund checks, but it would be mailed to me. I still have not received that check for the difference of $78.07. On top of that, last week on the 21st of March, I received an email confirming the delivery of my couch for March 25th. The couch was not delivered and no one called me to tell me it wouldn't be delivered. After multiple unanswered calls to Ashley on March 25th, I finally spoke to someone and they said it would be another week. I've heard that before. So I went to Ashley Furniture on March 25th and asked for a return of my money, because I know longer wanted the couch due to bad customer service and constantly being told that my couch was on back order. I requested to speak to a manager/asst. manager 3 times and both employees I spoke to refused to get the manager for me. The lady at customer service helped me with my return but was clueless on who is doing the returns and how long it would take. She said I would receive an email about my return and to this day, I have not received an email and no checks have been received. I am owed a total of $781.54.Business Response

My wife and I went into the ******, ** location of Ashley furniture to shop around for a replacement couch/sofa. Keep in mind we had already been preapproved elsewhere but were SHOPPING AROUND!)Upon arrival we were greeted by their salesman "Chidi" who informed us they had their Memorial Day promotion running that I could do another SOFT PRE-APPROVAL for. I put in minimal information and was shown on the computer that I was PRE-APPROVED for up to a $1000 limit for the NO INTEREST PROGRAM and would be receiving an email shortly thereafter with details about my approval.This seemed great, as the total for the sofa we were looking at would have been completely covered under the $1000 limit.Once again, the screen said PRE-APPROVED.I never actually accepted any approval or went over any finance terms.***** then took over the computer, began clicking around, and then said he would be right back. About ***** seconds later he returned with a document, and upon my review, the approval had not just been authorized, but accepted, and on the handheld device was already on the screen to process the transaction for the sofa.We had initially wanted quotes on both the sofa in question, and the matching loveseat, and were given a price quote that totaled over $1700, as he had added a protection plan with no discussion, and a delivery fee of $200. (P.S. there were little tags on almost all the items that said ask about our free shipping) One we had finally agreed to the final number, he asked me for both my DL and one of my Credit cards for a $70 payment. Obviously, we were confused as we were presented a pre-approval for 1000, with 0 down and 0 % interest.He then got a manager to "help explain the situation".Manager told us we owe the tax upfront and were signed up for a *****% interest credit card.We gathered our things, explained the dishonesty, and frustration, and left.INEXCUSABLE. I literally had to call and cancel a credit card they opened without my consent.Business Response

Unacceptable product noise, non-responsive retailer, see written detail.Business Response

Thank you for contacting Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc.We appreciate that you have notified us regarding the consumers situation. We take these matters seriously and want to ensure the proper steps are followed so we can address the situation in a timely manner.
Upon receipt of the consumers concerns,we reached out to Homestore management. According to the findings from the service visit on 5/28, the technician has determined that there is no damage or defects with the item. The sound the consumer is experiencing is attributed to the natural rubbing of the leather. Our service team has thoroughly reviewed the case as well and has determined that there is no defect present. To help address the sound issue, we recommend the use of a leather conditioner or even dryer sheets, as they can potentially assist in minimizing the noise. Unfortunately,we are unable to approve a return or exchange in this situation; we apologize for the inconvenience.

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, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[Ashley has clearly not read the complaint that we filed with the BBB. Paragraph 2 of the complaint reads as follows:"The first service tech arrived on April 30. He advised that the problem was a frequent one and he applied a leather treatment to the offending portions of the Love Seat. He advised that the treatment should last 2-3 months, and that when it failed, either get that product on Amazon or, use a new dryer sheet to accomplish the same result. His treatment lasted less than 2 days and the offensive noise returned. The use of the new dryer sheets had no effect at all."
The suggested resolution is a repeat of the already unsuccessful process undertaken by the Ashley Service Technician, and it failed most miserably. The actions recommended by Ashley in their response to the BBB have already been applied by the Ashley Service Technician and failed to correct the problem. We would appreciate the help of the BBB to get a fully responsive resolution of this problem regardless of how Ashley wants to classify it. Referring to the original complaint to the BBB, paragraph 4 reads in part "However one classifies this issue;defect, damage, design flaw, poor material selection; it is wrong,and it is not the consumers problem.. We have had 4 pieces of leather furniture, 2 previously used for over 8 years, and 2 now in use for more than 2 years, and none have made any such noise."
The noise made is obnoxious and loud and it is not acceptable to any intelligent consumer. ]

Purchased furniture at the beginning of March and Management said furniture should be delivered by 3/16. Then I had to go to the store to get another delivery date because there phones don't work. The customer service lady told the middle of May. I told her just cancel *** order then got a text later stating we can deliver April 24th which today. Which I told them OK. Will today is the 24th and I was waiting for my furniture that never came. Called customer service at 3:30 p.m. asked were delivery team at. They told me delivery have until 4. Before this I got a call at 1:54 stating the delivery time will be at my house in 30 minutes. So I waited until 420 to call back and customer service said delivery team tried to deliver at 2:18 and left a note which that's a lie. We have ring and nobody showed up we were here. Even moved the cars so they can park in the driveway. Called Ashley and told them to just cancel our order because this is too much and to many lies. The management/manager told me he can't cancel my order and can't give me my money back that's done from another department delivery department. Will delivery department didn't take my money. Lies and lies and nobody can do anything all manager was saying I can send emails. I want my money back just as quick as they took it.Business Response

Purchased a love seat sofa 12/31/23. Was told it would be delivered within 3 weeks. It constantly got pushed back without reason. I made assumptions. Then I was told there was something going on with manufacturing it. Towards the end of my long wait, I was told there were strikes that were preventing my order from being delivered and that I wouldn't even find info in the news. Sounds suspicious to me. I do not believe that was the case. I even tried calling higher *** since no one wants to share contact info. I believe I was lied to the whole time. I called two days after my couch was delivered on 4/26/24. When I called on 4/28/24 to discuss the refund that I have been arguing for due to the stress of not having this item when I needed it, I was told it would be processed. It was agreed upon that I would be refunded $200. Kept checking my bank and nothing. I find out that the store did not do anything until 5/6/24. I called again on 5/13/24 because I had not received anything. I was told it could be my bank. I have a good credit union. I doubt it's my bank. I think this store likes to drag its feet. I get told I'll get a call back and things will be taken care of, but I NEVER get a call back. Then they complain that I call frequently. Well, that wouldn't happen if they follow through on what they say and provide better customer service. I am tired of constantly waiting and basically paying more for a couch because of interests on my card for something that I didn't get in a timely manner. You would think with me constant complaints, that this business would have been on top of the refund as soon as my couch was delivered. This business clearly wants me to go away in silence. I will not. Keep sending me requests for satisfaction? I think this speaks for itself.Business Response

Transaction Date: March 26, 2024 Order Number: ********** - Stairatt ************** Total Price: $784.15 Issue: Sofa is advertised as being 39 tall on the website and in store. Verified by testing the coach in store. The sofa we received on April 12 is under 36 tall at its tallest point. It is defective. I have contacted Ashley customer service and store office to receive a refund for the defective product but was told no refund will be issued because there is no damage or defect. I contacted Ashley the day after delivery to report the defect, again a couple days later, a third time on April 25, and most recently on April 26 to have the issue resolved but no one I speak to has decision making power and do no more than take down my complaint. I want a refund for both the ************** because the sofa is defective, and I do not want to be given another replacement defective sofa. Without the sofa, the ottoman is worthless. Please refund my money in full and take back the defective product.Business Response

My complaint was not addressed ad was summarily rejected.
The assertion that they are working on it, far from satisfies my complaint as I have been told there is nothing they can do, they closed my case, etc.

We purchased a couch from Ashley Furniture in August of last year. It contained USB/wireless charging ports in the arms. One of the chargers went bad. I called in to order a repair and was put on the schedule. The day before the repair, I called in to confirm, and was told the repair had been canceled 10 days prior. A part was necessary that would take 7 to 10 days to ship. When pressed, was told to contact the store. The store had no idea, but said they would try to order the part. I still have not heard from the repairman, either on the cancelation or rescheduling.Business Response

on 12-28-2023 I purchased several items from Ashleys Furniture. At the time of purchase i paid money down and financed the rest. On January 8,2024 I paid the account off in full. When the furniture arrived they indicated the two lamps I ordered were back ordered. Ashley contacted me and stated they were being shipped and " I was supposed to get them at *** or Fed Ex". They then stated that the lamps were apparently " a little too heavy or something happened where they couldn't pick them up and take them on their truck". They indicated they would deliver them to themselves and deliver them to me at no charge. When the lamps arrived there was only 1 lamp. Again the store said there was a delay. I finally opened the box and discovered the lamp was broken. I returned the lamp to the store and advised them of the situation. They indicated they would reorder them. Again, they only delivered one (1) and not the two i had purchased. This lamp was also broken. when the third lamp was delivered, I refused to accept it and sent it and the broken one back also.
I went to the store and requested that the price of the lamps either be refunded or a credit be applied to my account. The manager stated he could have the lamps delivered by the 9th as I was going on vacation on the 10th. The lamps were never delivered. On March 9, Ashley contacted me and indicated the amount would be taken off my account. As of this date there has been no reimbursement or change to my account. My account was paid in full on January 8, 2024. Them stating the price of the lamps were taken off my account is ludicrous. You can't give me credit on my account when the account had been paid off in full for over a month. I still need to be reimbursed the $151.98 or placed on my account to use at another time.

With Order ********** several furniture were purchase on 3/6/24. A delivery date was set for Saturday 3/23/24. On Thursday 3/22 a message was send from Ashley to confirm delivery on 3/23. This was confirmed and Ashley reponded with that all is set and no changes can be made anymore. On Friday 3/22 the company called that no delivery takes place as items are missing. A new delivery was advised for 3/28. Calling Ashley for details we were informed that the coffee table and the sofa are not available. Complaining about the delay Ashley revised a delivery to 3/26. Delivery truck showed up only to inform us that the sofa is missing. A new delivery was set for another week away on 4/12. Complaining again Ashley revised once more to deliver on 4/2/24, On that day starting in morning delivery was advised for 9am to 3pm, later from 3pm to 7pm. At 5pm Ashley called and stated that no delivery will take place today and advised another week delay. Calling Lynwood store we were told that this is not correct and delivery is still set for today. Almost an hour later we were contacted once more to be told that there is no delivery anymore. A new delivery time was/could not be given.Customer Answer

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, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Ashley and their customer service is the worst I have ever encountered in my life. They do not take anything seriously as stated in reply. The customer is left with automated calls, texts and e-mails having no choice. I had to escalate the issue involving the manager at he lynwood store in order to get a delivery scheduled in a proper way with humans talking to humans. Unfortunately, Ashley hires the worst shipping company for delivery. The delivery ended in a desaster by damaging the furniture and the door of the house. Also here getting things done with Ashley is a nightmare.I was told that the delivery fee has been waived in order to make good but till today no payment received. Ashley to provide proof of refund of delivery fee.

Here is the e-mail text from ******** store manager confirming a refund for the endured horrible expierience.The refund has as of today still not be done.

Finally the refund was showing in my account. Without making very loud noise and visits to store in ******** this company would not care about customer satisfaction. The involvement of ******************** was helpful and showed Ashley not make fouls out of paying customers. This company and their management is a shame. I will make sure that the bad encounter with them is widely spread hoping to save other people from dealing with this rotten company.Consider this case settled and will never ever buy from them again. **** complains pile up and a law suit filed against them.
