Delivery crew threatened me.
Salesman was very nice but the delivery crew was terrible, and I now see online that rude and threatening behavior from City delivery crews is a frequent complaint. They argued and complained about my concern regarding the quality of one item and then complained at length about the delay my concern caused, continually saying how many more deliveries they had to make. One of them accused me of speaking to them in a bad tone, which I was not. He then said, "Watch how you speak to me." I responded, "Is that a threat?" He said, "100%." I felt under threat during the second phase of the delivery and would have kicked them out of the house and/or called the police except my bedroom was in disarray and I needed them to complete their work. Because of the dispute, which they caused, they refused to remove my old bed frame from the house, even though I had already tipped them. Perhaps worse, when I complained immediately after they left, City Furniture customer service promised to follow up with me and then did not. Only when my salesman called to see how things were and I complained to him about the delivery did customer service call me. And even then, they refused to provide any information about what follow-up was done by the delivery supervisor. The agent "assured" me there was follow-up, but admitted she didn't really know. She said delivery supervisors "don't make phone calls." How ridiculous! She also said neither she nor her supervisor would be calling the delivery supervisor to get the information and then pass it on to me. The agent gave the standard apology that I had to go through that experience, but the lack of concern about concrete follow up with these men who go into people's houses on City's behalf was appalling, but in view of online reviews it’s not surprising. I was left to trust that the organization that sent these men to my house would solve the problem on its own without any follow-up, facts, or paper trail, and that they would be sent to other people's houses to continue their poor behavior and threats. Indeed, one of the salesman's selling points was that deliveries are done by City staff, not contractors, so they could assure the quality of the delivery, assembly, and character of the crew. I would not buy from City again in order to avoid dealing with their delivery people.
