Good Afternoon Revdex.com- I can personally identify with a consumer’s need for an apology outside of making the concern rightAny compensation agreement is to be discussed after the customer has been fully satisfied with the merchandise they paid for and a form of apology is processed by Bob’s store creditWorking beyond a structure that is set in place to keep things fair for all consumers is a retailer’s way of applying empathy and accepting responsibility for a customers concern Once delivery has been completed the customer is asked to reach out to either the store or customer care to request an account review for compensation We do not compensate for lost wages We compensate based on our failure to deliver the merchandise As we deliver, at this time of year, six days a week, perhaps the customer could choose a delivery day that falls on their day off Normally we offer any type of additional apology in the form of a Bobs Discount Furniture Gift Card because as a business we understand the importance of earning our customer’s trust back and proving to our customer that delivery failures are not part of the daily operations that have helped us grow to be the 15th largest furniture retailer in the U.SWe also wish to provide our customers with a tangible item as a further form of apology rather than just committing to the act of pacifying someone with a monetary amountShould the customer wish not to provide us with another opportunity to deliver merchandise we can understand the reasons why in this scenario and have several cash and carry items that can be taken from our Showrooms or pit locations as our free gift of apology Kindest Regards, Tracy S [redacted] Corporate Liaison Bob’s Discount Furniture

Good Afternoon Revdex.com, We understand that this customer is extremely upset by this issue We must stress however that the details are misrepresented in this complaint We reached out to every customer that had delivery from a single lot of mattresses We had been informed by the shipping company that they had located mold in the container that the lot was transported in The mattresses in this container were individually wrapped, boxed and the boxes shrink wrapped again No mold was found on our boxes or mattresses We reached out to each customer and offered to exchange the mattress as a precaution only This customer has been in constant contact with Bob’s Supervisors We set up the credit and offered to pickup what was in the home because they didn’t want to wait The customer then changed their mind and wanted to go reselect first, so they would not be without merchandise They have changed their minds several times on what they would like to do and when We were informed of the possible issue on the customer was called the same day, the credit was set up The customer requested we credit them for the foundations, the pillows, the mattress protector as well as the mattress We agreed as a courtesy to include everything the customer had asked for The customer then went to the store and selected other merchandise and asked us to cover the difference for the new merchandise that was more expensive We set up the credit for that as well At this time the exchange is set for today We hope to have this situation resolved for the customer today Kindest Regards, Tracy S [redacted] Bobs Discount Furniture Customer Care Corporate Liaison

Good Afternoon Revdex.com- We can certainly understand the customer concern with having it cleaned As I stated on my reply, we normally would have the carpet cleaned and if that did not work, then we would look at replacement We understand the customer is frustrated with the process but this is in the hands of the manufacturer’s insurance company to resolve Bob’s is a retailer We do not manufacture the merchandise We do have contracts with the manufacturers that they are responsible for damages that have been verified as caused by their products Sincerely, Tracy S [redacted] Corporate Liaison Bob’s Discount Furniture

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because:First off they never told us they are out of their service area for the Goof Proof ProtectionThey had us take photos of the damage on the recliner and submit the photos for reviewAfter going back and forth with them for weeks trying to get a response to how they were going to handle repairing or replacing the damaged recliner we were told that the damage wasn’t a manufacturer defect based on their determination of the pictures sent to themThey then advised us to contact the Goof Proof protection department ( [redacted] ) to file a claimSo if they knew we weren’t going to get this resolved why did they give us information to move forwardI have emails from them telling us to go through Goof ProofFurthermore I have other furniture that also has Goof Proof protection that we were charged for that hadn’t been refunded backAs far as the delivery service we did in fact make arrangements on past orders to pick up ourselves at their store to save money on shipping chargesThe fact of the matter at hand is I have a recliner less than a year old from them with damage and Bob’s isn’t doing anything to get this resolved and we are stuck with a defective chair no matter how you look at it Sincerely, [redacted]

Good Evening [redacted] , We are aware that a mattress cannot be fixed however as previously indicated to you the warranty associated with your mattress requires that a service technician (trained by the manufacturer) submits a report (there is actually a process of determining a defect in a mattress and it involves more than looking at a picture of it) from a service call completed in the environment the mattress resides inIf the mattress is determined to have a defect your warranty offers you full coverage based off the price you paid for the mattress It would really be a shame to grant you some coverage when you could be eligible for full coverage within the warranty guidelines Again, we are willing and able to help you with the mattress concern and just need to schedule the technician to your residence for a service callThe manufacturer requires a report from our technician and this was completely disclosed to you at the time of purchase via the policy conveyed on our sales receipt (please note that this policy is normally signed as agreed to by the purchaser during the sale) Your rejection of our intent to help you get full coverage saddens me as we are only trying to get you the most coverage possible- that in itself is the definition of good customer care We are genuinely very sorry when our customers experience failures that result in any amount of unintended inconvenience and we stand by the quality of our merchandise and the integrity of our entire organizationPlease don’t ignore the fact that the internet contains a small percentage of complaints which stay on foreverWe take great pride in the reality that on a daily basis we maintain a vastly larger pool of customers who are completely satisfied with their merchandise and their experiences with us overallOur customers, our ability to recognize our failures and take ownership to make them right have allowed us to become the 15th largest furniture chain in the U.S Kindest Regards, Stephanie G [redacted] Bobs Discount Furniture Customer Care Corporate Liaison

Dear Revdex.com, Please pass on our deepest apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused this customer during their delivery experience with us Any delivery failure is unfortunate but when the failure affects children it is especially hard It does appear that this was a misunderstanding on the part of the sales associate Due to that error the order has been approved for pickup for refund I see that this customer has spoken with my colleague and it appears the customer has been scheduled for the merchandise to be picked up from the home on Once the pickup is completed we will be reaching out to accounting asking the refund be released to the credit card We ask that the customer responds to us thru this Revdex.com channel if there are any other concerns so that your efforts in excellent mediation assistance are not wasted Kindest Regards, Tracy S [redacted] Bobs Discount Furniture Customer Care Corporate Liaison

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Your response is even more ignorant that your offerNo one is asking you to compensate for me being pregnant however I want you to keep in mind that someone who is months pregnant should never be pressured into having to drag a mattress outside due to your mix up and incompetent staff.have you looked at our account recently? We just had the console of our brand new wall unit replaced for the second time and they drilled a screw through the side pillar cracking itSo now we have to have it exchanged out again$for all of the inconveniences doesn't even cover a missed day of work and believe me you we have missed more than one day of work dealing with this company's nonsensei will be taking my complaint further Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Good Afternoon Revdex.com, As of today – 1.30.2016- I am not certain this customers desired settlement remains the same Our records indicate that they have an even exchange scheduled to take place on and have also arranged to purchase (and pick up) an additional item from us that matches their original living room set Our records further depict that we have provided our customer with compensation (multiple compensations) and I am confident that any sales communication concern was addressed by our retail management directly Our business is currently looking forward to the exchange scheduled for and we thank our customer for working with us directly to address their complaints Kindest Regards, Stephanie [redacted] G [redacted] Bobs Discount Furniture Customer Care Corporate Liaison

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: My husband went to the store personally today to speak to the store Manager Justin and he claims this is the firs he is hearing of this!!!!!!! I was told they could not confirm with certainty that a check could be sent over night express delivery to the Freehold Location the purchase was made That again someone would call us and get back to us by the close business today.I want a new check issues and sent [redacted] *** some form of express delivery with a tracking number to the store so I can go and pick it up At this point they are in violation of their own store policy and should ensure I get my refund as soon as possible.It is ridiculous at this point that they claim they have sent two checks to the same address and none have been received I personally filled out a change of address form with the Postal Service and have been receiving all of my correspondence with no problems It appears that only Bob's Discount Furniture Store is the only exception Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted] I am rejecting this response because: Yes we went through [redacted] BUT [redacted] said they didn't know about the shipping part and has no idea that this particular couch at that time was discontinuedI feels it's in both Bobs and [redacted] handsIf something doesn't take place regarding this I will contact the attorney General Sincerely, [redacted]

Good Afternoon Revdex.com We've reviewed current research and have consulted with professional, and knowledgeable, entomologists who have cleared up a lot of misconceptions about these insects People often correlate bed bugs with furniture yet we are aware of no research that would even suggest that bed bugs originate from new furniture According to the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC"): "Bed bugs are usually transported from place to place as people travel." As a result, bed bugs are commonly found in areas such as college dormitories, nursing homes, movie theatres, hotels, multi-dwelling housing and they can even go undetected in a home for months hiding in/under carpets, curtains and wallpaperThe CDC’s government website will provide you with additional information regarding bed bugs http://www.cdc.gov/nceh/ehs/topics/bedbugs.htm While we can appreciate [redacted] concerns, please rest assured that Bob’s Discount Furniture takes great pride in our reputation and record for delivering quality products to our satisfied and loyal customers Any claim that the source of bed bugs was a wrapped new furniture product, delivered more than a year ago, is plainly without merit.”
