American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Reviews (%countItem)

I purchased a mattress - and the mattress that I received was not the same. They did a bait and switch. I called, complained, and requested a return. I got to the store, and the store clerk only offered me an “exchange.” I explained that I did not want to exchange because I was deceived and lied to by them - yet they insisted that I exchange the mattress or I lose my money. A store associate showed me mattresses, and he said there was a similar priced mattress on sale (100.00 more than I paid) for the floor model. I agree on this mattres, and take it home, and find ou it is FILTHY. I just paid 537.00 for A FILTHY bed. I feel so tricked and deceived. I just wanted my money back. I did not want to deal anymore with this shady business. I have a mother who is immune suppressed. I cannot deal with this. I am going to sue them for fraud if they do not refund me. They CAN refund me because they’re so sketchy in there, they constantly lower prices. I feel like this place is illegal business practices. They’re so shady. I have had to haul 2 mattresses from them up 2 flights of stairs. I will not do this again.

American Freight called me just now - but I do not wish to speak directly to them. Would you be able to express my concerns directly to them? When I deal with American Freight (in the past) nothing is resolved the way that I desire.Mark with American Freight customer service called me, and his contact info is ***. He said he'd be willing to help out "as best as he can."I don't want to deal with this company, again - so if a Revdex.com manager or representative could handle it, I would be very grateful.My desired options are:Option 1: Please have American Freight refund (no exchanges) my total of 537.00 for this mattress. Please also have them send, and pay for delivery to pick up this mattress from my apartment. Reason being, because the first mattress I ordered was a bait and switch - they exchanged it for a dirty mattress. I hired movers the first time, but the second time, I was forced to haul the mattress in myself.Option 2: This is a dirty mattress that was a scam. I am afraid to have this mattress (as it is dirty) so I have purchased bedbug proof encasements to keep this mattress in until they decide what they're doing with it - The cost of the encasement was 65.00. If they refuse to return this product, that is going to result in my having to clean this mattress (which is either paying for cleaners, or using a good deal of my water, electricity, and time). Also - there is NO WAY this dirty mattress should have been sold for 537.00 - they ripped me off and sold me something really dirty.I would like them to pick up my mattress and just refund me so I can deal with a legit company elsewhere... but if they won't do that (which, with them - I have a difficult time expecting that they'll help) - then they NEED to refund me money off of that price. I am totally ripped off. This is a company that "dickers" with prices... so they can refund me, it's what they do.They kept telling me "well, we're not going to make any money if we give you a refund" ..... I feel this is terrible.I want to be as cooperative as possible, but I just feel taken advantage of, and I felt pressured while I was in there. They should've just refunded me my money for the first bait and switch mattress I was sold, like I wanted.Please advise this situation. I'd be very thankful if a Revdex.com manager could handle this complaint for me - I do not want to talk to American Freight.

We agreed to the partial refund of her sale, and will reduce the price by $350.

This sale was financed through American First so we will be contacting them to adjust her contract and payment terms accordingly.

In August 2016 we purchased a recliner for our 25 year old son for his birthday. In less than three months the chair fell apart to the point it was garbage. We had purchased a 5 yr Warranty, but even if we had not, I was determined that they should replace the recliner since it didn't even last three months. It was cheaply made! So I contacted the store manager and she was very nice and agreed to put in the claim to get a new chair. And on November 15, she e-mailed me and said we could come back and pick up the new chair/ recliner. She said to donate the old chair as they did NOT want it back. However, it was GARBAGE and we had to pay our trash man to haul it away. It was useless. So anyway, we picked up the new recliner sometime in the days after November 15th 2016.

Today that "new" recliner fell apart! I immediately told my son to call the local American Freight and ask to speak to the manager (Katelyn P. Because after all, we purchased this chair for like $399 plus the $100+ warranty fee and have not even had the chair for a year and it has also fallen apart. I was very dismayed that she told my son that it was not covered under our warranty! We bought a five year warranty, but she says our warranty only covers rips and burns, not the actual workmanship of the furniture!! And she said that it only came with a one year manufacturers warranty and she claims that ended one year from the day we bought the original recliner. I am puzzled because this recliner is not the original one purchased in August 2016 and therefore the warranty should be for each piece of furniture. . I would think that since the first recliner was a pile of junk and we had to replace it, then the warranty should cover this recliner from the day we drove home with it for at least one year. And we have not had it a year!

So basically she is trying to say they would replace a chair if the leather rips or it burns, but not if it was put together poorly by someone who doesn't know what he is doing?!? Does this make any sense? NO!!

Spoke with customer and told her she can come in and get any recliner in the store at no additional cost. She is very happy now.

ID # *** Hello, I am very sorry that I was unable to respond to the first e-mail you sent me when the company made an offer to settle our dispute. I am very much satisfied with what the Manager did for me at AMERICAN FREIGHT FURNITURE. I was just unable to get back to Revdex.com and let you all know things were being resolved and that I was happy.I want to add that I felt American Freight General Manager (Ricky), his store manager, Kate, and their assistant manager all went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met and they treated me with the utmost respect when I entered their store, despite the fact I had to turn them in to the Revdex.com. They are good people and they stand by what they sell. I thank them very much. I would purchase from them again in the future.Sincerely

In the bringing of July we went to American Freight in Carnegie, Pa. to purchase furniture for our new place. They had a whole house furniture package for $998. You got a couch, a love seat, two end tables, a coffee table and two lamps. You also got a kitchen table, 4 chairs and. A queen bedroom suite, a mattress and boxspring. They told us we could tweak the package and upgrade things, and pay a little extra and so we did. We got a nicer bedroom set and a better mattress. We paid for the furniture in full on July 29th. We were told that they were getting a shipment in, in a few days and that they would send us picture of the color options for a couch and we could pick them. It wasn’t untill about August 10th I had to call and ask for the pictures which they gave me a Hard time about sending but they were the ones who offered to do it in the first place since we lived about 45 mins away). So after several phones called and talking to 3 different people someone finally sent me some options and at that time we chose black and scheduled our delivery date for Sept 9th. I had a bad feeling about this place so I asked my fiancé to call and verify they had all the right information for us. He called and they did. Black couches and being delivered Sept 9th. Great. Sept 4th we called to verify it was coming this Saturday (the 9th) he assured us we were on the schedule. I still felt uneasy and called the 8th. “Oh yes you’re all set for tomorrow. They will call you when they get your furniture on the truck”.
Well the 9th came and we never got furniture. I called the delivery company around 7 because we waited all day and never showed. They told me I was never on their list to pick up today. At this point the store was closed. So we went there first thing the next morning. We talked with the store manager Chris, to be told that not only was our delivery date in the computer as the 30th but we never had ordered a boxspring or a frame. So I said the boxspring came in the package and we asked for a frame and our sales associate, Dwayne said he would throw in for free.. so Chris tells me they would throw it in at their convenience because they messed up somewhere. We also asked that they waive the delivery fee because of our troubles and they did which I was greatful for. Our furniture was eventually delivered that day around 6pm, at which now the store was closed. When the delivery people came and delivered our stuff we had realized everything was in boxes and needed to be built, which Dwayne had told us everything would indeed be assembled and setup but that was not the case. And then as the story gets worse they only had a 3 pc bedroom set for us and told us that was all we ordered. I was so upset. They dropped off what they had and as we began to open boxes to set up everything, almost every single piece we had gotten was either broken, bent, scratched or damaged in some way. The end tables and coffee table were in boxes and each piece was bent a different way making it extremely difficult to build. I paid $78 for a fancy lamp that was broken in two places as well as several pieces of the chandeliers that hung from it were broken. The dresser was scratched along the side. And the headboard came with no directions and screws that were too long so when we put it together the screws came out the other side.
Now it’s Monday I call the store manager, Chris, back again, upset because we had ordered the “whole house furniture package” which we were told included a 5 pc set why did we only get 3 pc? When we upgraded we told our sales associate we just wanted a nicer quality and would pay the upgrade. He apologized and didn’t know what went wrong where and they offered to send out a replacement for all the damaged furniture. I declined and said we were so upset with all the problems and quality we didn’t want it and would like to return it and he obliged. We did however keep the mattress, boxspring and couches. The manager then told me that when they pick up the furniture they would give us a credit that day when the stuff was back to their store. They came back that Friday to pick up the damaged stuff around 5 and said we were the last stop. The next morning I called the manager asking for the refund and he gave me the run around on how he had to go make sure everything was there first. He told me he would call me back shortly after he did that. It had been about 4 hours and I haven’t heard back so I called again and he told me he’s still waiting to hear back from the delivery company to verify what we returned since it got taken to their other store. Another 3 hours go by and I call back again and he says “oh yeah I can refund your card now”. We got a credit of $530 for the things we returned when we originally spent $1,300. But no other real compensation for all the time and hassle of everything.
The sales associates seem to have no idea what they are doing. How did we call them twice the week before delivery to verify the date and both times we were told yes you’re on the schedule to not getting our furniture and finding out there was a wrong delivery date? HORRIBLE experience. Please nobody ever buy from this company!! I got the number to the VP of the company as well, called him 3 times and left a message every time about the huge problems I’ve had and never got a phone call back from him, not even from a receptionist or anything. They have TERRIBLE customer service and I will make sure everyone I know, knows about our bad experience and the terrible quality of the furniture. The mattress is the only thing good that came from them. It’s been 3 weeks of sleeping on it so we’ll see how long it lasts for. The two couches we kept from there are horrible. very uncomfortable, they creek and make cracking sounds every time someone sits on it. Was not worth $400. I don’t even want to call them back again because of the horrible experience I’ve had with them. I’ll be throwing them into the dumpster and buying new ones elsewhere.

I visited this store on 9/23/2017, I purchased a bed set for my daughter. It was a pink set with diamonds. I purchased the set and I selected to have self pick up. When my truck arrived they stated that they had RESOLD my item because the worker did not remove the tag and the family the sold it to did not want to take it off of their truck. I was told there was nothing they could do, I tried to call the police and the manager allowed the other family to leave with the set. It was the last set and there were no others. I screamed in horror and I begin to demand answers. The manager was nonchalant and unresponsive. I finally called the district rep *** who allowed me to pick another bed set. I left feeling frustrated, undervalued and discouraged that my money and purchase was not valued. My daughter cried about the set and I feel just horrible as a parent because this company did this to our family.

I purchased a king size mattress and cover from this location a few years ago. In Jan 2017 we lost our home to a fire. We returned to this location to purchase a full size bed and a dresser. We purchased the smaller bed due to the space in our rental home. At that time we mentioned the fire and Dwayne the salesman told us that since we had purchased the mattress cover with our king size mattresses we would be able to have those replaced by the manufacturer. In August 2017 we returned to the store to purchase a king size bedroom set. Again Dwayne assured us that the mattresses were replaceable due to the cover and he even stated that if the warranty didn't cover them per the manager the store would take care of the refund. Dwayne asked for pictures to prove that we lost our home to a fire which I was able to show him pictures on my cell phone of the actual bed that was lost in the fire. He advised at that time while we were still in the store he had emailed the appropriate peiple about our refund.Since we were told that we would get reimbursed for the mattresses in 30 days we decided to purchase a more expensive bedroom set and upgrade our mattress with the understanding that the cost of the original mattress would be refunded. A few weeks after I had not heard anything so I called the store to check the status. I spoke to the new store manager Chris as the original Manager Cody who was there the day of our purchase no longer works for the company Chris was unable to find any information of any refund. After a long conversation with him he advised that we were owed a little more that 600 for the refund. After that conversation he never called back, I called him again still no resolution. I was advised by Tyler another store manager to call Susan Beltrami about the situation. I called her and spoke to her on Monday 9/18. She told me to call Joel the VP of the company and get him involved as well. I left a message for Joel that day. Susan called back later in the afternoon and left a voicemail stating that the mattresses were not covered because it was the wrong type of fire but that the company could give me a discount. I called her back that same day and left a voicemail to further discuss but after leaving 5 messages thru out the week she has yet to call me back, 3 messages to Joel with no return call, a message to Kyle the regional Manager no return call and I have left messages for Chris with no return call. I have called the store several times to speak to Dwayne and every time I call he has "just left for the day". If this were a small amount it would not be a big deal but when you are told you will be getting 600 plus dollars back if you purchase something it is a big deal especially to people who lost everything they owned in a fire. I would not have gone there to purchase the bedroom set had I not been told twice that the mattresses would be replaced due to the fire.

American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Response

American Freight sympathizes very much with this customers, a horrible experience to go through! This customer bought a mattress May of 2014, more than 3 years ago with the mattress pad to protect it. With this pad came a warranty and inside the packaging are the warranty guidelines if the customer wanted to file a claim. Also investigations showed that this mattress did not meet the manufactures 1 year warranty for a replacement.

This customer called our store and explained her situation and wanted to file a claim for a replacement of a mattress and that she had bought the pad also which would warrant the mattress if ever any damage. Our Store Manager, our Regional Manager, our Vice President and myself all spoke to her and explained over and over that "Acts of God and/or nature" are not covered under this Warranty, that warranties are not INSTANT replacement and the specific guidelines must be meant for any replacement and that refunds are not a part of this warranty offered, only replacing the damaged item with the same item was.

This customer argued the fact that she was told different by our salespeople, that she was told a refund would be given instead of a replacement. American Freight Sales people know that all warranties that are sold for other companies by American Freight have guidelines that must be respected and that refunds pertaining to this warranty was never an option.

Nevertheless, in good faith we told this customer because of the nature of her complaint we would give her $25 % off on a replacement mattress and marked her receipt in our data base accordingly. This customer became outraged and began to call our store and corporate office repeatedly. During rages and the disrespect on the phone to our Store Manager this customer admitted that they had misplaced their insurance check.

To summarize…..Our company felt we had explained the warranty process well so to be understood and would give a good discount on a replacement mattress but every time we communicate was every time customer would become aggressive and unreasonable. Please help us explain that she will not be refunded nor will she receive a free mattress but she would receive a 25% discount on a replacement.

Customer Response

I am rejecting this response because: the only person who I talked to on one occasion was Susan Beltram... she was looking into the matter and called me back leaving a voicemail stating that a discount would be given. I called her back to further discuss the discount. I left her several voicemails but she never called me back. I also never received a call back from any other person at the corporate office. Therefore I never became enraged with anyone at the corporate level. Also I have no clue what they mean by me admitting that I misplaced an insurance check. I never had an insurance check to misplace. I did not go to the store with the intention of getting a free mattress.... I thought the mattress pad covered stains etc. It was a store employee who told me twice that the mattress pad covered the fires. I had no clue of that. I was told I had to pay for the new mattress and then would get a refund within 30 days. I asked the salesman if I could upgrade the mattress with the understanding that anything over the original cost of the mattress was on me. I was fine with paying to upgrade. I did not ever go to the store demanding a new mattress due to a fire. It is what I was told. I was also never told I could get a 25% discount. I was left a voicemail stating they would offer me a discount but as I said no one has ever called me back to discuss any of it. I obviously have never had any problems with the store until now. I had made 2 other purchases from there with no issues. I'm sorry that I am enraged over this but I was told by the salesman that a refund would be issued. That is why I upgraded the mattress and purchased the more expensive bedroom set. I even had all intentions of going back to purchase another bedroom set next month which I also stated to the salesman because we were happy that we were able to get money back from the mattresses and that the store was going out of their way to help us. I didn't realize that I was misinformed not once but twice that the original cost of the mattress would be refunded.

American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Response

There were over 20 calls made to the store and the corporate office from this customer. Everyone from the Assistance Store Manager, Store Manager, Regional Manager, to the Corporate office Customer Relations Director.....all of us explained the warranty policy but she was to unreasonable to communicate too.

-"I was told I had to pay for the new mattress and then would get a refund within 30 days".....we don't have a policy such as this, the more that is communicated the more that seems to get twisted.

....moving forward American Freight stands by our first response and in good faith a 25% discount will be given to the replacement of the mattress that was destroyed in customer house fire. There will be no refund or a free mattress replacement, customer did not meet the criteria for a warranty claim.

Customer Response

I reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID and find the resolution is satisfactory to me.

PLEASE ADVISE HOW I WILL OBTAIN THE 25% OFF.

I purchased a king size mattress and cover from this location a few years ago. In Jan 2017 we lost our home to a fire. We returned to this location to purchase a full size bed and a dresser. We purchased the smaller bed due to the space in our rental home. At that time we mentioned the fire and Dwayne the salesman told us that since we had purchased the mattress cover with our king size mattresses we would be able to have those replaced by the manufacturer. In August 2017 we returned to the store to purchase a king size bedroom set. Again Dwayne assured us that the mattresses were replaceable due to the cover and he even stated that if the warranty didn't cover them per the manager the store would take care of the refund. Dwayne asked for pictures to prove that we lost our home to a fire which I was able to show him pictures on my cell phone of the actual bed that was lost in the fire. He advised at that time while we were still in the store he had emailed the appropriate peiple about our refund.Since we were told that we would get reimbursed for the mattresses in 30 days we decided to purchase a more expensive bedroom set and upgrade our mattress with the understanding that the cost of the original mattress would be refunded. A few weeks after I had not heard anything so I called the store to check the status. I spoke to the new store manager Chris as the original Manager Cody who was there the day of our purchase no longer works for the company Chris was unable to find any information of any refund. After a long conversation with him he advised that we were owed a little more that 600 for the refund. After that conversation he never called back, I called him again still no resolution.

I originally bought a matress from the Altoona, PA Plankton Rd store and after a few months it sunk. The store did a swap out but I had to pay another delivery charge of $99.00. The factory ended up overstuffing the swap out mattressthat was from the Rodi Rd store. The Rodi Rd store said they would change it out for another mattress that will work for me since I have arthritis in my back. I am having to pay more for the mattress and on top of it another $99.00 delivery charge. I was informed everything was taken care of and that would be delivered on September 18th 2017. When I called to check to see where my mattress was the Rodi Road store told me that they were not even informed that there was supposed to be a delivery so they scheduled it for today Tuesday September 19th 2017. When I call to check to see when my mattress is being delivered today I was told that I did not answer the phone call I clearly called them back and they refuse to answer their voicemail. I was then told that it would have to be scheduled for another day for delivery. I actually had called both the American Freight in Altoona and the American Freight in Rodi Road as well as leaving to voicemail messages with corporate office with mr. W and American Freight. Now this new mattress cost a total of $464.23 and three delivery charges and I still have no mattress and I have a back with arthritis. I'm very upset with this company my blood is actually boiling over the situation to the point that unless this is resolved to some degree for me I'm not the shopping at American Freight ever again. I can tell you that there's been a problem with every single piece of furniture that I have gotten from American Freight from a scratch on the table to the lining underneath my couch that has cotton come out of it that should not be to a sinking mattress so something needs to be done about this or as I said you will be losing me as a customer.

American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Response

She was delivered yesterday, we apologize for any inconveniences!

Customer Response

I am rejecting this response because this is still not a formal written apology from the company for the aggregation and still not a refund of any delivery charges had things been done properly the first time.

American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Response

On all our customers receipts it states Delivery Fees are non-refundable. If this customer had any problems with the Delivery Crew, they must call that company and the contact information can be obtain by calling the store. Please advise this customer that if the delivery service is used it must be paid for. This service is not an American Freight service, it is subcontracted this service is their own company and if you use them, they must be paid.

Customer Response

I still do not have a formal written apology on company letterhead or even a partial refund yet.This will go unresolved until the company does the right things. They hire those people out so I'm not going to argue the point with them it is their responsibility to make things right with me when it is as a company. They do not give an option of delivery companies. You get stuck with who they give you. So they are held accountable either now or to God on judgment day. They can pick which that is at this point.

I placed an order for new furniture over a month ago. In between me placing my order and yesterday, I called 3 times to see when I should expect my furniture. The response was always the same: 'Your furniture is not in yet.? Growing frustrated with that reply, I decided to take a trip to the store yesterday to see what was going on. The initial employee told me that he was unauthorized to look up customer's orders; that is typically a manager's job. He told me he could call a manager and call me later. This answer was completely unacceptable as I have been getting runaround responses this entire time. I needed to know something about my furniture ASAP. He reluctantly called a manager who was able to assist me. From speaking with the manager, I was informed that no one fulfilled my order to have my furniture delivered to me! How is this possible? American Freight was ok with taking my money, but couldn't be bothered with actually placing the order? Even worse, instead of telling me this, I was just misled by employees saying it wasn't in. Of course unordered furniture wouldn't come in! I am confused as to why nobody thought to check why the furniture was taking so long to arrive. If I hadn't gone to the store to inquire about it, would I have ever been informed about the situation? Please do NOT spend your money with American Freight. For all they offer with discounted furniture, they lack in integrity and professionalism.

On 31 Jul 2016, I purchased two pieces of furniture from American Freight Furniture and Mattress store, located in *** and our salesman was Randy. We purchased the a Flannel Espresso sectional couch (3 pieces - Corner 3810LSFFE, Cuddler 3815RSFFE, and Loveseat 3822ALFE) along with a Gazette Basil recliner (AF7409). I paid in cash for my purchase (a total of $1,785). During the last year of owning the furniture, we've experienced several issues. The recliner's stuffing has fallen out and a wooden beam from the sectional is now clearly visible. When I purchased the furniture, I purchased it with the intent to get several years of use out of both sets...I've been allotted one year. I've maintained my furniture and it is upsetting to see the hard earned cashed I paid for, I have essentially wasted. The sectional sofa is the third sofa I've owned. The other 2 sets I owned lasted a good 8 years or so, including several military moves! I am active duty military stationed at *** and because of the issues I've experienced with the quality of the furniture and the money I paid, I tell my family, friends, and subordinates to steer clear of this establishment.

American Freight: Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Response

Customer has not returned our call yet.... This furniture is outside of the manufacturer's one year warranty however we are willing to replace this furniture with something different if there are no signs of negligence.

Customer Response

The company claimed the following: Customer has not returned our call yet.... This furniture is outside of the manufacturer's one year warranty however we are willing to replace this furniture with something different if there are no signs of negligence.

On Saturday, 16 Sep 17, I checked my email and noted the Revdex.com response from the company. In the Revdex.com response, the company claimed that I had not returned their call, however I was unaware the company even called. I checked my call log and noted I had a missed call (only one) on Wednesday, 13 Sep 17, from a number that appeared to be from the company but they did not bother to leave a message asking me to return their call. Furthermore, due to Hurricane Irma, my wing commander directed the base populace to evacuate Friday, 8 Sep 17, and I did not return back home until Tuesday, 12 Sep 17, after recalled back, not to mention recovery of personnel and equipment at my job took precedent. On another note, their Revdex.com response about a one year warranty is completely new to me - I was never briefed when I purchased the furniture that such a warranty even existed, which is why I chose to settle this matter via the Revdex.com channels.

After I received the Revdex.com email, I found an email from the company with a signature block of Carlos *** and Heather ***, sent Wednesday, 13 Sep 17. Again, I didn't see the email until the following Saturday due to the Hurricane Irma recall/recovery occurring at my job. Here is what the first email said:
This is American freight in *** can you please send us pictures of the sectional and the damaged pieces. Also, we need a picture of the tag underneath the sectional. We will get you taken care of.

So I sent the pictures of the sectional and the recliner, but was having trouble locating the tag so I asked for further clarification on where to find it. Their response was:

should be in side the cushions or under the sofas.

So I looked again, and found a stamp inside one of the cushions but wasn't sure if that was what they were looking for, so I sent them a picture of the foam cushion piece with the stamp. That was my last email interaction with the company, Sunday (17 Sep 17). It is now Friday, 22 Sep 17, and I have heard nothing further from the company. I have received no follow up emails or phone calls regarding how they would like to take care of me (as stated in their first email sent).

I am at a complete loss, figuratively and in reality. Attached are 4 of the 9 photos I submitted via email to the company during our correspondence. The radio silence on their end is deafening and as each day passes that I don't hear from them only solidifies that they do not want to resolve this matter.

Both the manager and myself tried calling this customer again this morning with no luck. Once again, her voicemail is full and is not accepting messages so the manager sent her another email asking for a picture of the sectional. We need to make sure this is no signs of negligence. The store stands behind the product we sell and will gladly exchange any defective merchandise however, we cannot exchange furniture that has been abused.

Customer Response

I reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and find the resolution is satisfactory to me. The manager at the location, Carlos, was awesome in helping us get the couch situation sorted. He was friendly and professional and ensured we were taken care of. Also, the guy who assisted us in loading the new couches into the truck was an amazing help. I did not get his name but he was friendly and very careful in wrapping and loading our furniture.
