Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond regarding the complaint of our customer, Mrs. [redacted].
We are so sorry for the numerous delays Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] experienced in reaching...

out to our company regarding their return. Their bed was picked up on January 6, 2016 and the refund was applied to their credit card on January 7th. We understand that this was a tremendous inconvenience and appreciate their patience. We're sorry the bed did not work out for them and wish them well.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Sleep Corporation did pick up the bed on 1/6/2016 but refused to provide a receipt for the pick up as the delivery personnel said one would be issued electronically. No receipt was ever received. We know they have the correct email as we are still receiving ads from them. I was able to confirm by calling our credit card company that there is an amount credited to our card on 1/11/2016. The amount is not what we anticipated. So while it might be correct, we need some documentation for the amount. We have tried via email and phone to request but have been ignored.
Is it possible that you can have them tell us what monies were refunded?

We sincerely apologize to Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] for the delays they have experienced in reaching out to our company regarding their Trial Return refund. This is not our normal mode of operation.

Case # XXXXXXXX
Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for the opportunity to outline our perspective regarding the complaint of our customer, Mr. & Mrs. [redacted].
Our records indicate that Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] purchased...

one Sleep Number(r) i8 FlexTop King Mattress and one FlexTop King FlexFit 2 Adjustable Base, a Total Protection Mattress Pad, two Sheet Sets and Home Delivery Service (complimentary delivery) at one of our retail stores on November 14, 2014. Mr. & Mrs. [redacted]'s bed was delivered on November 24, 2014.
Our Sales Professionals are expected to provide all prospective customers with the information necessary for them to make a fully informed decision regarding the purchase of any of our products. Every product purchased is clearly printed on the Customer Order. Our Exchange and Return Policy and 20-Year Limited Warranty are available on our web site, the Terms and Conditions of Sale are displayed in our stores at each cash register, and the return policy is printed on all printed sales literature advertising the respective products. All policies, the terms and conditions of sale and the limited warranty are available to anyone interested and we invite all prospective customers to read them, ask questions and understand them before making a purchase. Mrs. [redacted] signed their Customer Order Agreement acknowledging what products they purchased and the terms and conditions of sale.
The difference between the three adjustable bases are: # 1 raises at the head only; # 2 raises at the head and foot; and #3 raises at the head and foot and has a massage feature. The salesman contends that he went over the whole order carefully at the time of checkout and that Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] chose their adjustable base according to the price.
On November 25th, Mrs. [redacted] called our Customer Service Center to say that they thought they had purchased a FlexFit 3 Adjustable Base, not the FlexFit 2 Adjustable Base. Mrs. [redacted] also spoke to a Supervisor who reiterated that we would be able to exchange their FlexFit 2 Adjustable Base for the FlexFit 3, but we would not be able to do the exchange at no additional cost - they would have to pay the difference in price. Mrs. [redacted] then said that they had also expected to receive the "frame" (the Surround that encases the adjustable base) with their order. The Supervisor said that the Surround is a separate add-on product. The Supervisor explained to Mrs. [redacted] that in order to be fair, we would have to charge them for the products purchased as if they had walked into the store today.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate Mrs. [redacted]'s request to provide a free exchange to a FlexFit 3 Adjustable Base, nor can we provide them with a free Surround. We have an obligation of fairness to maintain for all customers and we cannot make this request an exception. We are sorry for any confusion regarding their purchase, but they did receive the products listed on their Customer Order, which are exactly the products they paid for. Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] are welcome to contact us at XXX-XXX-XXXX with any questions or concerns.
Please contact me directly if you have any questions.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 18, 2014/12/22) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Total misrepresentation of the product, with a massive explanation which only reiterates what was already stated. The reason they can't accommodate the request is because there are so many dissatisfied customers. Wish we had done more research prior to purchase. The salesman didn't even bother to apologize when he found he'd screwed up. You'd think they could at least offer us a free set of sheets or something for THEIR error. 7+ thousand for something we don't like. Sucks.

Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.   The bed was delivered on Saturday March 11th at 2:30 pm.  This only happened because the sale rep that sold me the bed got involved and he contacted someone iin Scheduling and was able to make sure that they accommodated my request.   The two man delivery team was excellent and they communicated to me all day about the time they would be arriving.  It was after they installed the bed that they told me the team that was scheduled to deliver my bed did not show up for work and scheduling was going to reschedule my delivery but this team of drivers took my delivery instead so I give the delivery team high marks.   The scheduling team is the worst I ever dealt with and if it was not for Revdex.com getting involved I would still be waiting for the bed to be delivered.

to the delivery of her bed. This is not our normal mode of operation. We recently implemented a company-wide computer systems conversion, which affected her order. We understand that this was a tremendous inconvenience and appreciate her patience.
Our records indicate that Ms. [redacted] purchased a Sleep Number(r) i8 FlexTop King Mattress and Base on October 12, 2015. Ms. [redacted] wanted delivery on January 6, 2016. Unfortunately, she had to be rescheduled to January 21, 2016. We were unable to complete delivery on that day, but shipped the bed to directly her via UPS.

Again, we apologize that Ms. [redacted] was inconvenienced and wish her well.

RE: Ms. [redacted]
Case # [redacted]
Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond regarding the complaint of our customer, Ms. [redacted].
Our records...

indicate that Ms. [redacted] purchased an m7 w/SIQ FlexTop California King Matt, FlexTop California King FlexFit2 Adjustable Base, and accessories on 9/6/2015. The bed was delivered on September 22, 2016.
Ms. [redacted] claims to have called prior to the end of her 100 Night In-Home Trial asking to exchange the mattress. All calls into and out of our Customer Service Center are recorded for quality assurance. We searched all records back to the purchase date, and found no calls coming into the Call Center during her 100 Night In-Home Trial Period. Actually, the only call into our Customer Service Center was on January 14, 2016 when Ms. [redacted] asked to return her mattress. She was advised at this time that her trial ended on 12/31/2015. There were three calls out to Ms. [redacted]. On 9/10/2015 we called out to schedule the delivery of the bed. On 1/25/2016 we called out per her request to have a Manager reach out to her. A voicemail was left for Ms. [redacted], but this call was never returned. On 3/3/2016 yet another Manager reached out per her request. Ms. [redacted] was advised, again, that she was outside of her Trial Period and could not exchange or return her mattress.
In addition to searching for phone calls, we also pulled all of her chat sessions. On 9/24/2016 Ms. [redacted] chatted in to say she was having issues with troubleshooting the Adjustable Base. We replaced the base under her Limited Warranty. The next chat session was on 1/14/2016 when she requested to return the mattress. On 1/15/2016 Ms. [redacted] requested to return not only the mattress, but the base as well.
Our Sales Professionals are expected to provide all prospective customers with the information necessary for them to make a fully informed decision regarding the purchase of any of our products. Our Exchange and Return Policy and 25-Year Limited Warranty are available on our web site, the Terms and Conditions of Sale are displayed in our stores at each cash register, and the return policy is printed on all printed sales literature advertising the respective products. All policies, the terms and conditions of sale and the limited warranty are available to anyone interested and we invite all prospective customers to read them, ask questions and understand them before making a purchase. The Sales Professional went over the terms and conditions of sale with Ms. [redacted] in detail and Ms. [redacted] signed her Customer Order as well as initialed each respective disclaimer relative to the items she purchased (copy available upon request), including the following:
"Adjustable Bases: The FlexFitTM or FlexFitTM Plus Adjustable Base is not covered under the Sleep Number(r) 100 Night In-Home Trial policy. All sales of FlexFitTM or FlexFitTM Plus Adjustable Bases, Surround Silhouettes and/or Headboards are final. No returns or exchanges will be authorized or accepted."
We will not accommodate Ms. [redacted]'s request for authorization to return her m7 w/SIQ FlexTop California King Matt, FlexTop California King FlexFit2 Adjustable Base as she did not request this within her Trial Period and the Adjustable Base is always a final sale item.
We WILL however work with her on her comfort issues. Ms. [redacted] just needs to let us know what those comfort issues are.

February 23, 2017   Revdex.com of Minnesota & North Dakota   RE:        Mr. [redacted] Case # [redacted]   Dear Revdex.com:   Thank you for the opportunity to follow-up regarding the complaint of our customer, Mr. [redacted].   In the spirit of good customer service, we are sending a check for $50 to apply towards the air mattress Mr. [redacted] stated he purchased.   Again, we apologize for the inconvenience.     Best regards, Customer Advocacy Escalation Consultant

I am rejecting this response because:  Despite having a policy of a non-refundable delivery charge, the service provided was terrible.  There was poor planning on not being able to take the old mattress when the new mattress was delivered.  The truck should have returned that day to pickup the old mattress.  Having to wait until for almost two weeks to have the old mattress picked up is not acceptable service.  I would not have paid the extra money to have my old mattress taken away if I knew I was going to have this level of service.Regarding the damage to the footbed, a salesperson (Trinity) at the Wauwatosa store connected me to customer service so there would be no record of filing a claim from my home or cell phone.  I did not ask about the status of my claim when calling the delivery service because customer service and delivery service are not typically the same departments within a company.I can contact customer service again regarding the footbed, but once again, this is not considered good customer service.

I am rejecting this response because: The company admits fault that they fell short of their customer service "promise" however they just closed the case with a simple apology. That does not cover the costs of having to purchase an air mattress to sleep on nor does it help with the back pain that my wife and I have been feeling since having to sleep on this air mattress since our bed was broken. How can such a crucial piece of these beds be on backorder yet when the replacement pump arrived, it was assembled in September 2016. The system used by Select Comfort to replace parts is insufficient and does a disservice to its customers.

(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Thank you, Revdex.com, for your effort in resolving this unfortunate situation.
Thank you, Select Comfort, for responding positively to the Revdex.com inquiry.
When I have the new correct remote and refund check delivered from Select Comfort, then I will be able to check the "Yes" circle to accept the response from the business. Until such time ,I have checked the "No" circle for the following three reasons.
1. The initial phone rep in November, 2015, took well over fifteen minutes to work with me in completing my bed remote replacement request. She then sent the wrong priced remote.
2. After the 1st wrong remote arrived, I called Select Comfort again. The 2nd phone rep seemed to know what he was doing and ordered the correct remote at the correct price He also sent a shipping label for me to return the wrong remote, which I did. The new correct remote and refund check did not arrive.
3. Our last contact with the company in January, 2016, was a computer chat that my wife did because the company no longer answered their phone. Why was my wife able to begin a computer chat in less than 2 minutes when I waited 39 minutes the previous morning on the phone without being answered? Why this great discrepancy in workforce allocation when the company is also in computer disarray? What kind of management is presently in place for this well known and in the past respected company? Josh, the computer chat person, indicated to my wife that the correct remote did not have to be ordered as the company indicated to you. It was sitting in the warehouse but not being sent to me. He did not know why it had not been shipped nor could he find out for me or expedite the shipment. Once again, we were told just to wait. That is why we wrote to you. Again, Thank you for your help. Hopefully your intervention will succeed. I will keep you posted if and when the correct remote and refund check arrive and then I will be able to check the "yes, I accept the response from the business" circle.
Sincerely,
[redacted]

Like I said before the sales staff did not provide me with the information, he told me that I had a year same as cash and if that changed he should have told me, which he did not. Also saying that the info is available if you want to read it is a cop out. Clients should be told in advance the terms,not just have you sign a paper which by the way you need a magnificent glass to read it. I couldn't do that when I sold real estate. I would have been sued. Also when you tell your clients that they have a year to pay it off you should at that time tell them if they don't that it's 30 percent interest. If you get me in front of Mike [redacted], face to face he would remember that he lied to me. Maybe because he was retiring, I don't know. But your company and your salesman did wrong by me and you should make it right.

I am rejecting this response because: Select Comfort has failed to respond to my complaint that their sales associate deliberately misrepresented the terms of the sales agreement as these terms related to my specific purchase. Because the sales associate deliberately misrepresented the terms, there was fraud in the inducement of the contract and my signed contract should be void. A recording of my telephone conversation with  Select Comfort, which they should be able to provide, will reveal that I mentioned the unethical behavior of their sales associate multiple times. I also explained this concern in my written complaint to the Revdex.com. I respectfully request that Select Comfort address the unethical behavior of their sales representative and void my sales agreement because the sales representative deliberately misrepresented the terms of the agreement. Select Comfort should provide me a refund of the base and the mattress since these were the terms represented by their sales associate. If Select Comfort fails to correct this matter, I respectfully request the Revdex.com investigate my claim of fraudulent sales practices at Sleep Number stores and reconsider the A+ rating awarded to Select Comfort. I suspect other consumers have fallen prey to similar unethical sales tactics. Thank you for taking the time to consider my request. I hope Select Comfort will take the time to respond to my specific claim that there was fraud in the inducement of my sales agreement and therefor this contract is void.

Case # [redacted]
Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond regarding the complaint of our customer, Mr. & Mrs. [redacted].
Our records indicate that Mr. [redacted] purchased one Sleep Number(r) i8 Twin...

Long Mattress, a FlexTop King FlexFit 2 Adjustable Base, a mattress pad, a pillow, a pillow protector and Home Delivery Service at one of our retail stores on October 3, 2015.
In regards to Mrs. [redacted] reference to a "topper", this is a word we use to describe a foam topper pad component that goes INSIDE the mattress Cover. A foam topper is included in all of our mattress models except the most affordable model, the c2. Please note that we cannot manufacture our mattress covers (entire mattress shell in two parts zipped together) to be interchangeable because the zipper sides have to match perfectly. We cannot manufacture just the zip-on top half of the cover with only one side of a zipper. A customer cannot zip on the new top portion to their older bottom portion of the older mattress cover - the zipper sides will not match. Again, in regards to Mrs. [redacted]'s mention of a topper, it seems she might be speaker about the zip-on portion of the cover, which cannot be manufactured separately.
Under the terms of the 25-Year Limited Warranty agreement, we cover 100% of the cost of warranty replacement parts for the first two years. After the first two years, we cover a pro-rated share of the cost. Mr. & Mrs. [redacted]'s 25-Year Limited Warranty does state in part,
"CLAIMS THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER: Your warranty excludes claims for conditions arising from normal wear and tear including but not limited to mattress cover compression, foam compression, discoloration of parts or normal body indentations. This warranty does not provide coverage for claims related to comfort preference (e.g. "The bed feels too hard/soft."). The warranty does not provide coverage and will become void if claims are a result of damage caused by tampering with or modifications to any component including the opening of the Firmness ControlTM system or remote control. Damage caused from laundering or dry-cleaning the product or any part as well as damage caused by misuse or abuse including but not limited to stains, soil, burns, cuts, tears or spills or factors other than a product defect are also excluded under and will void this warranty. Lastly, this warranty does not provide coverage and will become void if damage is caused by acts of nature or relating to forces outside Select Comfort's control including but not limited to fire, flood or lightning damage or for damage caused by power surges."
Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] can review the complete 25- year limited warranty in their owner's manual. We hope that Mrs. [redacted] is enjoying her new Sleep Number mattress. We encourage Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] to contact us directly if they have any questions.

Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 15, 2015/12/08) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
First 2 things I notice: #1: no apology for the way I was treated, for the misinformation (lies), fraudulent and/or HIGHLY deceptive selling practices, the problems getting my bed delivered, nor anything else. #2: no offer to do anything to make this right. Nothing!!! And they "hope I'm) enjoying my Sleep Number bed"? Are they kidding?? This ordeal is highly stressful which is adversely affecting my health!! What could possibly be enjoyable about that?!?
What horrible customer service!!! I absolutely do NOT accept this response. It does NOT address my grievances AT ALL. It only shows that what happened is worse than I thought. I was told I absolutely could replace the topper (meaning the foam pad insert, OF COURSE) any time I wanted. I questioned that with Desda and was repeatedly told and assured that was correct, the foam insert could be replaced as often as I wanted at my sole discretion. I have NEVER received the mentioned "owners manual," and I have NEVER received any copy of the warranty, not in any form. Therefore I cannot refer to it. Gee, I wonder why the manager, Chris, and Desda didn't give me one!!
I have NO IDEA what the legal analyst is talking about with the zipper part being attached to an older bottom portion of the mattress cover. Where that came from just confounds me. It has nothing to do with anything because I have never said anything about a mattress cover. I do not have an "older mattress cover." I had a memory foam mattress on my bed before this Sleep Number. It obviously has nothing to do with Sleep Number and has no zipper. I have no idea what all that is about. This just doesn't make any sense to me AT ALL. I have always been talking about the "foam topper pad component" that inserts into the mattress. Everyone involved has ALWAYS known that!! There was NEVER any question about that. Desda told me the "topper" could be inserted very easily - just zipped right in. So obviously, she knew exactly what I was talking about the whole time. Nothing was EVER said about a mattress cover. Desda told me I needed to purchase the mattress PAD "to protect the warranty." (Probably more deception.) But we NEVER discussed anything about a mattress cover.
Since I obviously cannot replace the "foam topper pad component" anytime I want as promised, and since that was the SOLE reason I agreed to buy the more expensive bed from Sleep Number AFTER being fraudulently told that the C2 model was no longer being made or sold by Sleep Number, I do NOT want this mattress nor any of the other items I purchased, especially since those items were purchased just so I could receive what I was led to believe would be an additional 20% discount on the mattress (which I did not get - only 20% off on the extra items!). I do NOT want the C2 model either. I will NEVER do business with this company again!
SLEEP NUMBER/SELECT COMFORT can send their delivery people to come and take this bed at MY convenience, pack it up, and get it and all the other items I purchased from Desda out of my house at FULL COST TO SLEEP NUMBER/SELECT COMFORT. (Note: their delivery people took all packing materials and boxes when they delivered and set up my mattress, so I don't have any. They will have to provide whatever is needed when they pick up these products and mattress. That's not my responsibility either!) I want a FULL REFUND for ALL items charged to my account. No Fees, nothing. This will be ZERO cost to me except for my time which I will never get back. I will NOT pay for return shipping or packaging in any form. And I Will NOT pack it up and ship it myself. This mattress and the products I purchased to go with it are NOT being returned because I simply changed my mind. They are being returned because of lies made by the manager and saleswoman at the Valley West Mall store. That is the responsibility of Sleep Number. If you hire and employ people who are THAT dishonest, there are consequences for that.
The manager and sales woman at Valley West Mall in Des Moines should be fired. Business practices like this are unconscionable.
I will be sure to tell everyone I know about the serious lack of customer service and the fraudulent and deceptive sales practices that Sleep Number obviously allows to take place!! (If you don't allow it, then fire these people!)
And, if anyone at Sleep Number wants to talk to me, THEY can call ME - and I WILL record the phone call!! I will NOT call them and sit on hold to talk to them. And if they put me on hold for more than 5 minutes after calling me, I will hang up. I won't waste any more of my time on them than absolutely necessary to get this stuff out of my house.

Dear Revdex.com:
Thank you for the opportunity to follow up regarding the complaint of our customer, Mrs. [redacted].
We sincerely apologize to Mrs. [redacted] for the delays she experienced in reaching out to our company regarding her concern. We understand that this has been an inconvenience and appreciate her patience. Mrs. [redacted] has elected to return her purchase for refund and understands that the Home Delivery Return Service may take several weeks to pick up her mattress. We are mailing her UPS pre-paid shipping labels to return her bedding items.
We're sorry the mattress has not worked out for her and hope she finds something that will meet her needs.
Best regards,

I am rejecting this response because:
The response is not 100% truthful. Also the credit they offered me was for a free set of sheets, which I declined so I was credited the cost of the sheets. Which was roughly a 2% credit. That is untrue regarding not being approved for high enough credit limit. I also did contact the bank. I'm am also only allowed 2000 characters here and after trying to type a full response I was unable to send. I came to buy the bed in February, I believe the 2nd or the 5th. I came to check everything out and price out what I wanted, the sale we received in the mail started the following day. I said I would be back in the following day with Tony, to decide together and do a joint account. The salesman decided to take all my information and said it would make things go faster and smoother for when we came back in the following day. I did not realize he was doing two separate accounts. Also the amount approved was not the issue. One the bed was not a necessity, it was a luxury. We also bought several unneeded upgrades. We could of went without certain things if the limit was the issue. I have talked to the bank, the payments are not the same.

Direct Sales Team called out to Mrs. [redacted] on November 11, 2016 and advised that since Synchrony denied Mrs. [redacted]’s request for credit she could offer a secondary finance opportunity.  Our Customer Service Representative (CSR) went through the financing application with Mrs. [redacted] and a member of HelpCard.  Mrs. [redacted] was approved for $5000 and ordered a King cSE Mattress with SleepIQ, Modular Base and some accessories.  An email was sent to Mrs. [redacted] outlining the Terms and Conditions of Sale and another to help her register for the SleepIQ.  The bed was delivered to Mrs. [redacted] via our Home Delivery Install and Set-Up Service on November 23, 2016.      Mrs. [redacted] called our Customer Service Center on December 8, 2016 to set up a return on the bed.  When our CSR asked why she wanted to return Mrs. [redacted] said she had tried all the numbers and the mattress was just not for her.  Our CSR set up the return and went over the return options.  Mrs.  [redacted] chose to have the bed picked up via our Home Delivery Return Service due to not having boxes and became upset when our CSR explained that she would have to pay for the service.  Additionally, when our CSR explained the bedding items were final sales Mrs. [redacted] said that she was keeping them and was not worried about that.  Mrs. [redacted] requested that the bed be picked up as soon as possible.  The soonest date for pick-up was December 23, 2016 and our CSR booked Mrs. [redacted] for that date.  She ended the call.   Mr. [redacted] is requesting a return on the accessories and to have the Home Delivery Services at no cost.  Per our Terms and Conditions of Sale, all bedding accessories are final sales; returns are not allowed.  The accessory items can be used with any King sized mattress.  The Terms and Conditions of Sale also state “Shipping and delivery fees are non-refundable and do not include any return shipping/delivery service which is available for an additional charge.”   We’re sorry that we cannot accommodate Mr. [redacted]’s request to return the accessories for a refund and no cost Home Delivery Services.  Select Comfort has an obligation of fairness to maintain for all of our customers and we cannot make Mr. [redacted]’s request an exception.  We’re sorry the bed did not work out for Mr. & Mrs. [redacted] and wish them well.       Best regards, Customer Advocacy Escalation Consultant
