Almost Laughably Bad Customer Service and Delivery
My wife and I ordered a couch for pick up with a delivery window of 2:00PM-6:00 PM. We received a text at 5:35 PM to indicate "delays in your area" and that we would be followed up with by a member of the delivery team. No text, email, call, nor delivery ever came. My wife and I were forced to take more than half a day off work (about 5 hours each) + 3.5 hours after our delivery timeframe, until the store closed at 9:30 PM and wait in a new, empty apartment before we finally gave up on our couch arriving that night. No follow up in the morning from anyone at PICKUP, either. Due to issues with this company, we ended up calling the store we bought our 1 small couch from every hour or two (like 5x) from to see if this "PICKUP" company, er, delivered their crew to grab said couch. Store staff politely checked every time. We obviously tried reaching PICKUP's "Responsive Support" during and after the alleged delivery window. "Off-the-charts customer service" was never there: multiple (7) attempts to connect online, by text and by phone to no avail; were actually HUNG UP on (but not till after opting to not to dial like 1 or something "take a survey after your call") after EACH of our calls (1:52 PM, 7:53 PM, 8:15 PM), EACH of which had us on hold only, EACH for over 20 minutes before the hang up. However, the kind robotic voice on the line consistently reminded us we had a "more than 2 minute wait" time, for over an hour altogether. PICKUP's delivery process and customer service are together a complete joke and you are better off renting a U-Haul yourself with a trusted friend than wasting your time and money on this horrible service. We want more than an apology for our recent PICKUP experience and the stress that this has caused. If they blame it on their contractors, that'll be wrong. PICKUP needs to ameliorate this systemic problem. We do not want something like this: Hi [INSERT PICKUP CUSTOMER NAME HERE], We're sorry to hear about your recent PICKUP experience. We also apologize for any stress this may have caused. We'll be reaching out directly to connect you with a Customer Success Supervisor to help solve this as soon as possible. Thank you.

Hi Alex, I'm sorry to hear about the communication challenges and missed delivery windows for your order, and can relate to how frustrating this can be. I have reached out to you to get more information about your order so that we can locate it, and then have our Delivery Success Supervisor reach out directly to you to make things right. Thank you. -Justin
