Failed delivery promises
We went into Grands home furnishings to look for a new bedroom set, we found the one that we had been wanting for quite sometime. We talked to the salesman and we were getting everything squared away. We got to the delivery portion and the salesman ( Scott Hancock) and the lady setting up our payment and delivery said we could pick when we wanted our furniture to be delivered. He said they would accommodate our schedule with either a morning, afternoon or evening delivery time. We just needed to pick which time of day was best for us. We told him that morning was the best time of day for us since we have opposite work schedules and afternoon and evenings would be really hard for us to do. He said ok and said they were setting us up for a morning delivery and the delivery people would be in touch with us and text or call. The day that they were supposed to deliver we told them we had to have the furniture delivered in the morning because we were going to be leaving town in the afternoon. The salesman said that would be fine. The delivery people texted and said that delivery would be between 3-5 pm; which we were already going to be gone by that time. So we called them and told them we couldn’t do that they would have to deliver another morning. They said ok and set us up for another “ morning” delivery a week later. The next week my husband got stuck out at work and wouldn’t be home till that evening, I was going into work late so I could be home to get the furniture if it was being delivered in the morning. 10am rolled around and I called my husband to see if they had texted he said no. So I said let me call them because I need to leave for work soon and no one has contacted us. I called GHF in Roanoke on valley view blvd where we were buying our furniture from. The lady that answered the phone said that they wouldn’t be delivering to our house until between 1-3 pm. I said ma’am can they do any earlier because I can’t wait all day. She said “ that’s not all day just 2 hours “ I said “ma’am I work and as it is I’m going in late for this; and I might as well not even go to work if I have to wait that long. And I need to go to work because I already said I would be there. She said that the delivery drivers would text. I hung up with her called my husband and told him what had happened. They had ended up trying to reschedule for another 2 weeks from that day, which we again would be out of town. My husband talked to the salesman and told him we cannot do an afternoon delivery and he had told us that they could accommodate and now they’re not. The salesman said “ I didn’t say that”. Which at that point we were fit to be tied, my husband cancelled the order and told them we will not be buying the furniture from them now or ever again. This was the worst experience, it wouldn’t have been so bad if we hadn’t been lied to. We would have tried to make it work if we had been told in the beginning that they only do late afternoon and evening deliveries but since we were lied to and told we could pick when we wanted the furniture and then being told “ I never said that”. That made us pretty angry about the whole situation. We went the next week to another furniture store told them what happened and asked about delivery they told us they have a truck that comes out to our area once a week and would that day work. And we could get morning/ early afternoon delivery if that worked for us. We said it did, and we are getting our furniture delivered this week. Something that GHF would not do. I wish I could say that we had this great experience and they really tried to work with us. But they didn’t, they just kept lying all the way to the end.
