Dealing with Bob's Discount Furniture has been without a doubt the worst customer service experience I have EVER had. I scheduled a delivery for as soon as possible after the date of purchase. To accommodate the delivery time, I had to take a half day from work, then I receive a call mid-morning that the product was damaged and we would need to reschedule delivery. I called to reschedule and I was told that they didn't have any of my information on file and that they would call back in an hour after it was resolved. After 6 hours I didn't hear anything back and I called. I spoke to a man who said he could possibly squeeze me in for the next Saturday delivery. It's now Friday and I just received a call that Saturday won't work. I now have to wait an additional week because I can't take another half day from work, so now my couch is supposed to arrive two weeks after the purchase date - even though the couch and delivery have already been paid for AND the inability to deliver at the first scheduled time was the company's fault and not my own. The kicker is that when I told the customer service representative that I was dissatisfied with my whole customer service experience and that I would never buy from Bob's again - she said that once the couch is delivered (who knows when that will happen) I MAY be able to get compensation for the delivery fee in the form of a Bob's giftcard. So if I plan on never shopping at Bob's again because of the company's inability to provide even satisfactory customer service - I'm really not getting compensated at all. This company's customer service is lacking. Not only did they inconvenience me greatly with the scheduling problem, but now they have had a negative impact on me financially. Horrible experience.

We apologize that the customer is experiencing any disappointment while trying to use the protection plan they purchased. [redacted] ( [redacted] is known as their parent company) is a third party company and we have, for many years, experienced a vast amount of approved claims through this third party company. Our customer’s are usually very happy with the outcome of their reported claim and based on the price they paid for the coverage our sales associates and sales managers would have no reason not to boast about the extreme value the protection plan carries. We provide a general flyer at the time of sale that very clearly indicates what is covered by this protection plan and further indicates that there are some exclusion(s) to the protection plan. In this consumer’s specific case I have attached copies of the sales flyers we had in rotation within our showrooms during the period of time this customer purchased. The accidental portion of the plan, again not honored by Bobs as indicated on these sheets as well as the customer’s sales receipt, covers a large variety of staining occurrences for leather product. Stains caused by “jeans” is not a coverable occurrence listed here and therefore would not qualify for coverage under this protection plan. The ink stain is listed as a coverable damage which is why the customer is being told by the [redacted] company that they can assist with this occurrence. Any protection plan (think of those sold on electronics, automobiles, and home appliances) is subject to exclusions in order to keep the plan fair for all customers alike – this fact is also notated on both these flyers for consumers knowledge. Bobs Discount Furniture is able to offer recourse relating to factory defects under this plan and we apologize that we do not have the ability to overturn the choices or guidelines of a different company when it comes to the coverage for accidents. Kind Regards, [redacted] [redacted] Bobs Discount Furniture [redacted]

Revdex.com: I have reviewed the response and will accept itHowever because of the multiple failures to deliver a good product and failed promises on delivery dates, I kindly ask the Revdex.com to keep my complaint open Until I get my full refund of $as promised by Account Manager [redacted] at the [redacted] office when I returned [redacted] callI have an scheduled pick up for this Saturday, October 18, and will receive a full refund within hours according to [redacted] over at credit card refunds I am very dissatisfied with the whole process and wish I was compensated in someway for the time I took off of work to receive delivery of the multiple flawed products I received plus the countless hours I have spent on the phone talking to multiple customer support reps and account managers Thank you for your help and time with all this Best Regards, *** [redacted]

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 as it refers to the box spring. I will take the full refund and give up the 10 year warranty. However, there is still the issue of the desk I originally purchased. I should be refunded the delivery charge for the desk that was never delivered (I have already received a refund for the desk). The desk was scheduled to be delivered on November 14th. When they arrived at my home, I was told that the desk was never loaded on the truck. The delivery fee for the desk shows as $39.99 on [redacted] and I should receive a refund for that portion of the total delivery charge I paid. My total refund should be $172.69. Sincerely, [redacted] ***

Customer service is AWFUL! They don't do what they tell you they will do, they make excuses not to have to cover anything (whether you purchase their extended warranties or not). The store tells you one thing, their assessors (or whatever the people are who come look at broken furniture) tell you another, the reps that the assessors speak to tell you another. Seems they do what they need to to sell you the furniture, then do everything they can to NOT honor their commitments.
