Didn’t follow shipping request even after confirmation, unsympathetic and unhelpful customer service
I wanted to order a couch during a sale but didn’t want it to ship until a certain date, a date that I knew I’d be in my new apartment. I contacted customer service and they assured me through 2 emails that I could purchase the couch and they would hold it until the day I wanted it to ship. They did not follow through with this. Not only did they not hold my delivery, they did not send me a notification that my package had ever been shipped. Today, I randomly got a text from fedex that my couch was out for delivery. I was not even in the new place I had the couch shipped to! When I asked customer service how long deliveries take they said between 5-14 days after shipping date. So I thought it was safe to have my order ship on March 3rd. That way at the minimum, 5 days, I would be in my new apartment and could get the couch. Aside from that, they never sent me an email saying it was shipped from their warehouse. I could have planned for this mishap if I knew ahead of time that the couch was on its way, but they had failed to send me an email saying it shipped. I let customer service know this situation and they were so unhelpful. They just sent me a response email with the tracking number and didn’t say a lot more. It seems they did not read my email entirely. I brought up not receiving a shipping confirmation and they said they are automated and to check my spam folder. It was not there. The delivery was meant to have a signature before they dropped it off. This was also not the case. The shipping company left the couch and ottoman out on the sidewalk. Again, I didn’t receive a notification that it was delivered, so had no idea until someone who lived in my new building was able to get a hold of me. The couch was sitting on the sidewalk in Philadelphia almost all day. I don’t know how it was still there when I found out about it at 5pm. Overall just a very unhelpful customer service experience and absolutely no sympathy for the stressful situation it put me in.
