Good morning ***,
Goof proof is separate plan upheld by *** furniture protection service not Bob's Discount Furniture***, the representative you spoke with does not work for Bob's Discount Furniture, although I do apologize for the service you described
recieving from her
Your claims were denied for several appropriate reasons, (1) moving damage, the plan does not cover furniture damaged during a move, (2) sagging seat cushions, especially years after delivery are considered wear and tear, (3) frame/mechanisim damage- is dependent upon circumstance, you must be specific as to when and how the damage occured
Although the one year manufacturer warranty has expired, you may call our customer care department at ###-###-####, and request a best effort service appointmentThe technican will assess the furniture and provide repair against any defect he may find. As for the goof proof plan, you may cancel it for a partial refund however, your merchandise will no longer have any coverage

We bought furniture from Bob's Furniture and bought the Goof Proof Protection plan because the salesman told us that any problem that comes up with the furniture would be covered by this plan Recently, the cushions on the sofa and loveseat, which have coils inside, began to bunch up in the center, making it impossible to sit on them comfortably, so I called to have the cushions replaced I was told by the representative from the protection plan that cushions are not covered and it was suggested that I contact the store I contacted the store where I purchased the furniture and they said to take pictures of the furniture and email it so they could determine if the issue was due to a manufacturer's defect After a couple of days, I received a call back saying that the cushions are covered under the warranty and that they would send a technician, to my home, who would see if they can repair the cushions or if they would need to be replaced The technician came and, within a minute, said that the issue with the cushions was not due to a manufacturer's defect, but due to accidental damageHe did not bring tools or even try to remove the cushion from the coverIf there was an accident that caused this to happen to of the cushions, that's a surprise to me! In any event, they now say the coils in the cushion are not covered and I would have to pay $to replace the cushions I called Customer Care and the representative told me that the coils should be covered and to call *** (the protection plan) I told them that *** already told me that cushions are not covered, only the base of the furniture and fabric are covered under the warranty After being on hold intermittently for over a half hour, so the representative could speak with his supervisor and, emailing again, the pictures of the damage, I was told that there is nothing they could do to assist me with this situation I expressed my dissatisfaction with the way this situation was handledI feel that they were deceptive based on the dishonesty associated with coverage of the protection plan coupled with being told that the damage would be covered, to then find out that it is notI will never buy another product from this company and I will surely tell everyone I know to steer clear of this company because they do not stand by their merchandise and apparently have employees that do not even know what is covered by the protection plan or extended warranty I am under the impression that they make it up as they go along and nothing is truly covered, so they just give customers the runaround

Good Day Revdex.com,
white; line-height: 15pt;">Please pass on our sincerest apologies for
the inconvenience the multiple deliveries caused our customerWe can certainly
understand the customer’s frustration and acknowledge the reasons why the
customer feels they are owed something additional after their concerns have
been resolved
Bob’s prides itself on providing quality
service and the best value product for the priceOur primary focus is on
making the concern we caused right so that our customer is satisfied with the
product that they have purchased from us
We do see in this customer’s account that
the third party insurance company *** offered this customer a re selection
credit for damaged piece, which was used by the customer on 7/18/15. The customer then called for service on the
new set due to it making squeaking soundsOur technician went to the home on 12/12/
and found that the squeaking was not repairable, at which time we ordered a new
sleeper mechanism which is scheduled to be installed 2/27/
I do believe that in this customer’s case
both Bob’s and *** have fulfilled our obligations to the customer to
rectify the issues that have been reported.
I would not be able to offer to refund the customer as requested.
Bob’s can offer two options at this time:
We can continue on our present course of
action with the new mechanism being installed.
If we continue on this path I will absolutely be able to offer to
compensate the customer based on the number of failures with this order
Or-
We can offer a reselection to the
customer. If the customer does not
believe we can rectify the concerns with this part order we can set up a
reselection credit and the customer can go back to the store and choose
something different
While it is not procedure to so we
do recognize that we have failed our customer and we are willing to make an
exception in this case to work above our compensation guidelines and
policiesWe do not offer apology monetary amounts based off of any
individual’s time and we are unable to offer a discount off of factory fresh
product that stands in the home in good condition

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I accept Option 2.Sincerely,

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely,
*** ***
hE WAS THERE ONLY TO TAKE PICTURES HE TOLD ME AND SO DID *** NOT TO REPAIR OR FIX OR TOUCH ANYTHING WHEN THE REPORT CAME IN THEY WERE GOING TO SEND OUT A TECHNICIAN TO FIX THE PROBLEM I DONT CARE WHAT HE WROTE DOWNI TOOK PICTURES THAT DAY OF WHAT HE DID AND THE TRACK AND PANEL ATTACHED HE RIPPED OUTHE PULLED MY DRAWER OUT JUST TO GET TO THE PIECE HE RIPPED OUT. NO ONE IS SUPPOSE TO COME AND BREAK MY FURNITURE. YOUR COMPANY WILL BE PAYING FOR THISAND SO WILL THE INSPECTOR THAT DAY I will be getting even with your company and the inspector even if that means the inspector looses his job and I hope he does get fired for putting information on my report and not showing me the report or explaining anything to mehe was not professional in any wayWhen a customer asks you questions your suppose to try to answer them your company don't know how to deal with customers or give customers replacements when I paid top dollar for every piece of furniture I bought from your company along with an expensive *** *** *** plan for every pieceI am not going to penalized for your company and ***s doingsIf I knew this was going to happen I would have never reported my drawer to be looked at at allyour company is a disgrace and that's how you try to make money by ripping people off and hiring people who lie and break peoples furniture

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
Even the goof proof protection rep said the problem is a manufacturing defectAfter all, material used is flimsy enough to rip and tear when sitting on in in one year's time and the stuffing in the attached pillows has balled up and DISAPPEAREDHow can you say that is not a fault of the manufacturer? Plus the springs sunk so we cant sit on the furniture -- if the piece was manufactured correctly, this too would not be happening We are a house of four adults who all work so we are not even using the furniture during the dayFor wood (or flakeboard, not sure what it is) to flake off of pieces , fabric to tear, springs to sink in...all for a few hours of usage some nights in a little over a year's time, certainly DOES seem the fault of the manufacturerI have owned sets from many manufacturers through the years and so have my extended family and none of us have ever seen or heard of this happeningThey need to take responsibility that thiese are faulty manufactured products and stand behind them as they said they would when I purchased them.
Sincerely,
*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
1) The delivery attempt today, 9/13/16, that should have resolved this was a failure and I must again wait for the correct piece to be delivered at a later dateThis is the second time now, which has aggravated this issue
2) This response does not contain a specific dollar value that would be issued as compensation
Sincerely,
*** ***

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I don't agree with the assumptions made by the Bobs Furniture representative They claim that because they saw no evidence of nail polish remover in the photos, such as dripping, they wont cover the damage They also stated that the bonded leather products they sell are prone to cracking and peeling so they are blaming the peeling on defective merchandise I dont know how they would see dripping if the nail polish remover was immediately cleaned off The peeling only happened in those areas where the nail polish remover contacted with the couch As the pictures clearly showed, the cracking and peeling is not pervasive but only in the areas where the nail polish remover spilledThe couch is in otherwise very good shapeThe company's position on this is a circular argument They are not covering this because they're claiming its a manufacturer defect However, the defect only happened in the areas where the nail polish remover was spilledSo the company's defense is that the isolated damage is not from the spill, instead it due to their substandard merchandise.
I'm troubled that the company would write that cracking and peeling is very common with bonded leather products Is that something they advertise when they sell their merchandise, its not I was not told that when I purchased it
This simply appears to be an example of a company not keeping its contractual agreements and advertising The Goof Proof contract at the time of sale was provided in a colorful sleeve showing graphic art of wine, pens, nail polish, paint, and a nice cartoon of Bob and the caption stating, "Accidents Will Happen, Don't Worry, We Have You Covered." I had no idea this was such a scam until this happened to me and I started communicating with other people who had this happened to themThis seems to be Bob's business model Sell these Goof Proof Plans and never meet your obligations
I don't accept the company's response

Good Day Revdex.com,
Please pass on our thank you for the customer’s photo submissionWe have just received this information from you as of today’s date (2.19.2015) and are responding to the customer via your channel on the same date (2.19.2015)
After reviewing these photos with our Service Management Team we maintain that the differences pictured here are due to the recognizable fact that the customer’s right side facing item has been in their possession for multiple years of useThe photo that depicts the frame work having a gap does not concur with the other photos sent as there would a continuous gap that size through out the entire two pieces of frame workIt is a truthful and transparent fact that any piece of furniture will loose its resiliency over time and with useThe left side of this sectional is a factory fresh model therefore as indicated previously it will look different
As the right side facing chaise is not experiencing a defect of any kind and is under no guarantee period thru Bobs Discount Furniture or Guardian the only offer we are able to make is one of extreme courtesy on our part
Should the customer seek to have the right side facing chaise replaced we can provide a courtesy store credit of 60% based off the price originally paid for the chaiseThe customer can use this store credit towards the purchase of a new right side facing chaiseThe new purchase would be considered a new sales order, carrying a one year manufacturing defect guarantee (or a five year manufacturing defect/covered accidents guarantee if the customer selected to purchase Goof Proof Plus) from the new date of deliveryIf the customer nominated to use our delivery service for this new sale, a delivery charge would be incurred however we will offer another courtesy of hauling away the current right side facing chaise should they wish us to
Provided an in depth review of all facts within this scenario and the exceptions our business has already made for this customer’s concerns (see Revdex.com complaint # ***) this is the most generous offer for resolution we can make
Kindest Regards,

I had the absolute worst experiences with Bob'sThey damaged my mattress in two different deliveries, and did not listen to my special requests for deliveryWith another delivery they forgot the metal frame for my bed, went on to correct that by shipping it to the wrong address, and ultimately wasting my timeThe employees have left me on hold for minutes at a time, different employees told me different information every time, and have made me reschedule my deliveries- very inconvenientOne woman was even laughing at my nightmarish situationsWhere is the professionalism? Upon very stressful and annoying weeks of not getting my products and calling Bob's nearly every day, I would advise anyone NOT to purchase or especially schedule deliveries with Bob'sTruly the worst experiences I've ever had

Complaint: ***I am rejecting this response because:
I did not receive a phone call or speak to any one from Bob’s Furniture Store (BFS) since 10/17/I find it distasteful that BFS would continue to assert that they did.
The Customer Care Corporate Liaison pasted a line of text that on 10/19/at 12:there was a follow up call with the customer More valuable proof of their assertion would be a written transcript of the alleged conversation This of course could not be provided, as the conversation never took placeOn a positive note I did receive my refund on 10/21/2015.
I would like to thank the staff of The Revdex.com for acting on my behalf I strongly believe that if I did not contact you my issue would not have been resolved and I may have had to contact an attorney.
Thank you Revdex.com!

Good Afternoon Revdex.com-
We are very sorry for any confusion or
miscommunication this
customer is experiencing using the warranty for the merchandise purchased from
Bob’s. I see that this purchase was delivered
on and at the time of purchase, the customer purchased the option of
Goof Proof Plus.
This warranty has two aspects. Through Bob’s this customer is covered for a
period of five years for manufacturing defects.
Manufacturing defects must either be verified through a Bob’s technician
visit and report or through the customer submitting photos which are then
reviewed by a staff trained specifically in that area.
The other side of this warranty is through a third party
company, ***. *** covers the
merchandise for accidental damages.
Accidental damage must be reported within thirty days of occurrence and
the customer must be able to provide the necessary details to clearly indicate
that this damage occurred through a single accident or incident and not through
everyday use, misuse or abuse of the merchandise.
I was able to pull up the customer’s warranty card showing
this was covered from December 2014.
There was a claim submitted in August that was denied. The customer called in damage that a child
caused damage, she was unsure how. That
does not meet with their guidelines.
The customer has utilized their warranty through Bob’s
making it impossible to offer a refund on that warranty. In February of we used the warranty to
cover replacement parts for issues with the Falmouth cocktail table.
We have attached the photos from the claim on the
chaise. The warranty card showing when
the plan started. The Goof Proof Plus
flyer showing what is covered and by which company.
Kindest Regards,
Tracy S***

Good Morning Revdex.com,
Our records depict that
this sectional was delivered on
In regards to the
allegation that our agent ‘Jared’ approved a courtesy part order I am currently
working with our Workforce Management Team to locate the call recording between
this customer and ‘Jared’I will respond to the Revdex.com once I have the findings
from our Work Force Management Team on this request
‘Jared’ did log several
notes from this call, as did the other agent ‘Sarah’ that is also referenced in
this posting and I am confident in both of these agent’s abilities to properly
log their phone callsPlease see the documentation we have provided below as
this illustrates that our business informed this customer that they could
purchase the parts at their own cost, not that we would be taking ownership to
do this for themPlease also note that if the customer has experienced a
denial for a claim they made thru the *** company (a third party company)
this is a concern that would need to be addressed directly thru the ***
company and not Bobs Discount Furniture
*** ** ***
customer is very upset
that *** *** and myself via photo review the damage to this set is not
consistent with mfg damage there is wear and tear and rips on cushions it is
not cracking and peeling bonded leather as this is not a mfg defect we have no
recourse other than to purchase parts customer extremely hostile and
threatening every imaginable action against bobssubmitted second voice

At this time we have not
committed to offering any recourse to this customer as a manufacturing defect
has not been determined as present within this furniturePer the sales
receipt our customers commonly sign at the time of purchase- our business is responsible
to offer recourse for factory defect concerns under the five year plan that was
purchased
If the customer would like
to have their concern with these seats reviewed at this level of Customer Care
we respectfully ask that they post the associated pictures they have to the Revdex.com
and we will review their photos with our Service Management Team to determine
what, if any, further recourse we are able to offer this customer

class="MsoNormal" "margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Please pass on our sincerest apologies for the
inconvenience the multiple deliveries and missing product continues to cause
our customerWe can certainly understand the customer’s frustration and
acknowledge the reasons why the customer feels they are owed something

Bob’s prides itself on providing quality service and the best value product for

our customer is satisfied with the product that they have purchased from usAs
the retailer we have taken full responsibility for the damages that may have
occurred at the factory overseas or during the extensive transit the
merchandise endures prior to arriving to our customer
We currently have a delivery scheduled for the missing piece on to
resolve the remaining concern with this merchandise. We did send a team to the home to
assemble the bed as a regular bed until the part that connects the beds
together as a bunk bed comes back into stock
At this time we are looking forward to completely resolving this customer’s
concern on We will absolutely be able to offer a Bob’s Gift Card as
compensation once this delivery is completed.
We do only offer compensation one time, once all merchandise is in the
home in showroom condition. Once the bunk bed has been completed, the
customer can call and request an account review. We would then make the determination based on
our failures and the time waiting on the missing part of bed.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID***, and accept their offer for store credit in the amount of 70% of the price paid at the time of purchase as well as waiving of the delivery charge for the new item. Please have Bob's provide next steps we need to take in order to redeem this offer

Good Afternoon Revdex.com,
class="MsoNormal" "margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;">I am very sorry to learn
of ***’s product concerns and I do understand how frustrating experiencing a
concern with your furniture can beI assure *** that Bobs Discount Furniture genuinely
wishes to help any customer who is experiencing a product concern
The Goof Proof Plan that
*** purchased from us in covers accidental damages from a single incident
onlyThis means that *** would need to report a covered, in home- one time
accident that caused the damages *** would like to claim through the ***
companyAs there is no accidental incident being reported to *** the five
year coverage that *** refers to in this complaint does not apply
***’s merchandise was
delivered in the year 2009, in the year Bobs Discount Furniture serviced
***’s merchandise at no cost to him as a courtesy because *** was already
outside of his factory guarantee period through BobsWhen *** reported his
latest concerns to us (after approximately years of use later) we felt that a
factory trained professional reviewing these photos was the best option to help
in expediting ***’s claimWe certainly don’t want to waste our customer’s
valuable time and ask them to wait at home for a service technician if we
aren’t sure we can offer to repair the customer’s productUpon reviewing these
photos we discovered that the concern *** has is not serviceable and as ***
is now very far outside of his factory guarantee through Bobs Discount
Furniture we are unable to offer further recourse in this scenario*** has no
manufacturing defect present, has no manufacturing warranty remaining, and this
concern is not of an accidental nature so his Goof Proof coverage does not
apply
I am truly sorry that Bobs
Discount Furniture is unable to offer options for recourse related to this
concern

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because: Due to a question and the claim of ignoranceWho is being referenced in regards to "depot?" I have been in constant contact with the *** *** *** *** adjuster assigned to my claim since January so I find it surprising they were "surprised" it wasn't rectified. I honestly feel I was being strung along hoping I would give up to avoid payment against my property damage claim. Prior to the adjuster I also dealt with Autumn K*** and Gina D*** with ***This was an equally slow and frustrating experience
Consequently, I did receive a response within hours of notifying the insurance agent that I had filed a complaint with the Revdex.com. Rarely did I receive a timely response. Most emails were not responded to or had the same statement that my claim was being investigated. Please see attached email chains for all correspondence
Until the promised check has been received, deposited and cleared I will not be accepting a response. I have no faith or trust with any company involved
Sincerely,

"margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Please pass on my apologies to our customer for the aggravation
that our customer is experiencing while trying to resolve this concernI do
understand the level of stress a mattress can cause if you are not fully
comfortable on your sleeping surface and we do wish to resolve all of our
customers concerns when we have the ability to
Our records reflect that when we inspected this mattress on
we located a stain that is approximately inches in length on this
mattressStaining voids any mattress warranty and regretfully this is not a
Bobs Discount Furniture policy, rather an industry standard that is upheld by
our bedding manufacturersRegardless of the stain, our technician also noted
that the mattress has a body impression presentA body impression should be
present on a memory foam based mattress after several years of constant sleep
in the same position on the same mattress and a body impression is not
considered a defect in workmanshipWe are unable to offer our customer
recourse in this scenario due to the fact that there is no defect present and
there is no warranty remaining on the mattress due to staining
I apologize again that our customer is so disappointed and
we will undoubtedly directly address the complaints about our technician’s appearance
and the lack of follow up our customer received after their service
appointmentShould our customer still completely disagree with our technician’s
report of staining and body impression, please request that they send us photos
of their mattress and in an effort to offer our customer the most care we will
review these photos with our Service Management Team and respond with our
findings
