Regards,
Rose Hess Im sorry but I didn't see any kind of resolution to me having to wait 3 moths for a part! This is how you do business? How do you order the wrong part? and tear apart my chair without checking the part first?? They told me what I already knew which is wait, wait and wait some more while we "try" to get the right part this time. Its apparent Levin furniture doesn't care as they are offering me nothing but their broken chair and poor customer service and even worse repair department. As Levin already knows I have no choice but to wait and wait and wait some more......for hopefully the correct part this time, who knows what I will get this time? That said you better believe I will tell EVERYONE I know to never ever buy from Levin!!!!!!! As this was my first and last purchase from them!!!!!
November 1, 2017Re: Complaint [redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted],Please accept this letter as a response to the claim filed by [redacted]. [redacted] and [redacted] purchased a special order three-piece sectional on December 3, 2016, that was delivered on January 26,...
2017. Special order purchases require a 50% deposit that is non-refundable. On March 24, 2017, the customer requested service for the chaise seat core. The part was ordered from the manufacturer and installed on May 26, 2017. Upon installation, the customer had concerns with the other two sections. Replacement seat cores were ordered for the armless and left section. The seat cores were installed on July 14, 2017. The customer had asked about a possible discount, but the discount offered was not acceptable to the customer. A technician took photos of the impressions on the seats to send to the manufacture. The manufacturer’s warranty on the seat cores is for 3 years. The factory authorized replacement cores and Levin also offered to add reinforcement to the frame system to provide an additional support. On October 27, 2017, the customer scheduled a technician visit on November 1, 2017. At today’s visit, Levin agreed to accept a return for a refund for the sectional’s purchase price ($1,890 for the three sectional pieces plus tax of $113.40 for a total $2,003.40). Once the furniture is returned, Levin will process the refund to the bank card used on the original purchase. The customer scheduled the return for November 9, 2017.Please do not hesitate to contact me at [redacted], extension [redacted] or [redacted] should you have any questions or concerns.

Please accept this letter as a response to the claim filed by [redacted]. The customer purchased a sectional along with a five-year accidental protection plan through Guardian Protection on September 2013, that was delivered on November 2013. The protection plan covers accidental rips,...
tears or burns from a relatable incident. As this issue was not covered by the protection plan as was listed in the 2015 complaint., as a courtesy, Levin will replace the right chaise item for the customer to fulfill the coverage on this item. Please do not hesitate to contact me at ###-###-####, extension [redacted], or [redacted] should you have any questions or concerns. Sincerely, Paula R[redacted] Director of Customer Service
October 21, 2016Re: Complaint [redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted],Please accept this letter as an updated response to the claim filed by [redacted]. The customer purchased a special order reclining sofa and a recliner on April 25, 2014, that was delivered on June 26, 2014. The manufacturer’s warranty is for free repair of manufacturer’s defects for one year from date of delivery (through April 2015). The manufacturer’s warranty for labor had expired April 2015. The manufacturer’s warranty on the metal mechanism and cushions each have replacement parts coverage but the customer would be responsible for installation costs (see the attached manufacturer’s warranty).

December 27, 2015Re: Case ID # [redacted]Dear Ms. [redacted],Please accept this letter as a response to the complaint filed by [redacted]. The customer purchased a sectional on March 19, 2014, that was delivered on March 29. 2014. The customer also...

Accidents are from a specific incident and reported within 30 days. Makeup would not be covered by the protection program.Levin can meet the request to refund the warranty program cost and the products taken at time of sale.

If the customer would emails photos of the makeup stain, we can advise if parts are available in lieu of the protection refund. Photos can be emailed to [redacted]Please do not hesitate to contact me at [redacted] should you have any questions or concerns.Sincerely,Paula R[redacted]Director of Customer Service

later came into the store concerned about the fabric, but it was confirmed that the fabric ordered was on their chairs, so they are correct.

protection plan for specific incidents (stains from food/beverage, accidental rips, tears, and burns). The factory’s warranty is for repair of manufacturer’s defects. On October 5, 2016, the customer requested service for the cover peeling. A technician inspected the furniture on October 11, 2016. The cup holder for the console was missing and the lid was torn. Some of the cover issues are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty for repair. There is some damage due to a household source.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and will accept the resolution as laid out by Levin for a $200 gift certificate as well as a refund of the $89.99 for the protection plan.Important items to note, however:- When the protection plan was sold to me, I was told it would cover any and all issues with the item - not limited to only accidental incidents. They should consider not misleading customers when they purchase the plan, as was in my case.- Also I would like to point out again that sending a tech out to measure for new cushions was not going to resolve my issue... and it also would have been at my expense. Levin should consider these things before proposing them as "solutions" to unhappy clients. - Last but not least, it is worth mentioning that while Levin has not been helpful in actually remedying the issues with my sofa that I've owned for less than two years, at least the manufacturer of the sofa has been.... who is replacing the cushions FREE OF CHARGE. I had to contact the manufacturer directly since Levin would not accommodate me or do that on my behalf.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
As stated in the letter this issue has been going on since December 2014, as a matter of fact the issues started only a couple of weeks after purchasing the sectional. The batting was moving in the couch and we had to have Lavine come out and Re-stuff it, as well as an odor coming from it that we complained about after the sectional was brought in the house. Then the zipper broke under the foot rest in October 2015. We called to have it repaired, they didn’t come till a couple of months later and then brought the wrong part, meant while the cable that releases the foot rest broke. Now we are in May going on June. Every time we called to ask about when we should expect service, we were told it was the supplier’s fault. Why doesn’t Lavine take ownership of what they sell? Or penalize the supplier for ruining their reputation. Now they want to fix it all after more than 6 Months as if the time it took means nothing? This kind of business is unacceptable. We, nor our family or friend’s will ever buy from Lavine again.
But I guess they don’t care there are lots of gullible people out there to buy…

That is not all correct. I was told I cannot use my warranty. Also since the guy has been out there is more issues with the couch. I just want my money back or the 2 pieces that are bad need to be replaced. The couch has a new or bigger issue everyday. I want my money back for the warranty that I cant use. The cup holder was lost that is correct that would be our responsibility. I want to know what they are saying the issues are that we caused. These are defects with the couch and the service man even told me they were. The entire chaise is peeling and ripped. The entire piece needs re upholstered it looks terrible. The piece that is just the cup holder and the storage is not even in our house anymore because it is totally trashed because the rip was getting bigger from everyday use.I either want money back or the bad pieces to be replaced. This couch is just poorly made. I would like to speak to the general manager not just some lady that works in the repair dept. She has not been helpful at all. I also thing waiting 3 months for parts are ridiculous. If I don't get money back or new pieces I will be calling the local news channel and having them do a report on the horrible crappy furniture you sell and the terrible customer service that Levins is given. If you bought a couch for $1900 and it fell apart in less than a year wouldn't you expect the company to replace it???

The batting was moving in the couch and we had to have Lavine come out and Re-stuff it, as well as an odor coming from it that we complained about after the sectional was brought in the house. Then the zipper broke under the foot rest in October 2015. We called to have it repaired, they didn’t come till a couple of months later and then brought the wrong part, meant while the cable that releases the foot rest broke. Now we are in May going on June. Every time we called to ask about when we should expect service, we were told it was the supplier’s fault. Why doesn’t Lavine take ownership of what they sell? Or penalize the supplier for ruining their reputation. Now they want to fix it all after more than 6 Months as if the time it took means nothing? This kind of business is unacceptable. We, nor our family or friend’s will ever buy from Lavine again.
But I guess they don’t care there are lots of gullible people out there to buy…
Regards,

That is not all correct. I was told I cannot use my warranty. Also since the guy has been out there is more issues with the couch. I just want my money back or the 2 pieces that are bad need to be replaced. The couch has a new or bigger issue everyday. I want my money back for the warranty that I cant use. The cup holder was lost that is correct that would be our responsibility. I want to know what they are saying the issues are that we caused. These are defects with the couch and the service man even told me they were. The entire chaise is peeling and ripped. The entire piece needs re upholstered it looks terrible. The piece that is just the cup holder and the storage is not even in our house anymore because it is totally trashed because the rip was getting bigger from everyday use.I either want money back or the bad pieces to be replaced. This couch is just poorly made. I would like to speak to the general manager not just some lady that works in the repair dept. She has not been helpful at all. I also thing waiting 3 months for parts are ridiculous. If I don't get money back or new pieces I will be calling the local news channel and having them do a report on the horrible crappy furniture you sell and the terrible customer service that Levins is given. If you bought a couch for $1900 and it fell apart in less than a year wouldn't you expect the company to replace it???
