Faulty business practices, bait and switch
Ordered a bed with a backorder date a few days away. Within minutes of processing my payment, I got an email notification the date had been pushed back a couple weeks. I was OK with that, but found the timing odd. I also noticed the website continued to advertise the original date. A couple weeks passed and I noticed the website still reflected a date which was now in the past, so I reached out to find out when my order would be shipping since presumably the item was in stock. The replied the back order date was now two months further back. I pointed out twice in emails to customer service that their website then is reflecting a dishonest in-stock status and shipping date. They didn’t acknowledge that. I feel like it is a classic bait and switch. It was going to be months before I received my item that the website implied was in stock. I cancelled my order and will not purchase again due to faulty business practices.
