You have not delivered my bed on two occasions. I've been on a matress for over 12 weeks now I've had to miss three days of work unpaid. As i had to come out of work on one occasion because the company tried to deliver two separate parts on two separate days to then tell me it was actually all coming together. And then on the next occasion it was supposed to come it never turned up . I never got a call to be informed it wasn't coming I had to ring them to find out. I've now cancelled my order as I'm sick of waiting in cues to find our my delivery had been pushed Back again another 4 weeks plus as they keep loosing boxes. I went into the shop where I purchased it in the end to cancel the order. They said I'd get a check for it and they'd ring me to let me kno it was sorted that was yesterday still not got a call . If i dont get my check by next week im going to citizens advice to get thus resolved. Absolute joke I will be taking my business elsewhere

DO NOT BUY FROM BENSONS FOR BEDS! Our order was delayed for over 7 months, and was only resolved by arbitration of the furniture ombudsman. Customer service is the worst I've ever experienced. They committed fraud against me, and they breached data protection regulations several times. Only given 125pounds compensation, despite extensive and systematic failings. I would not recommend this company to my worst enemy. Avoid at all costs.

My friend has been waiting 5 months for a paid-for bed with zero communication. We will never use this company in future.

Ordered in May - delivery 10 June. Didn’t turn up chased with CS - 99th in queue. Emailed rescheduled for 28 June didn’t turn up. Emailed CS - took a month to reply. Rescheduled for 3 August - not turning up Again. Appalling service - if a bad company can’t deliver beds how long before it’s back in administration? Avoid

Ordered bedroom furniture in April and have today recieved my sixth delivery date as again they have failed to deliver my already paid for furniture. Customer service is obviously not something Bensons care about. So far five days have been taken off work plus one for someone to come and assemble it. Their only response is to offer compensation when the goods are delivered, what a joke they have already failed to deliver FIVE TIMES!!!!!! Will never use this company again and would advise anyone to avoid this company.

Absolutely awful service. We bought a bed in April and have yet to receive the complete bed. Our first delivery was cancelled, a new delivery was booked but only the mattress was delivered. The delivery driver informed us that this was happening to lots of their customers. The next delivery contained half of the beds base (in boxes, we were not informed when we bought it that we would have to put it together.). We were told the final bits would be delivered the next week. On the night before the delivery we got an email saying the delivery had been cancelled. We are still waiting for the rest of the bed to be delivered with very little to no communication from the company. The service has been absolutely shocking and I will never use this company again and would advise anyone else who would like a bed delivered to choose a different company.

Wish I had never taken my mum here. The customer service is appalling. Delays for arrival of bed took 6 months+. In the end. My mum had been lied to and ended up paying out for a complete new bed again when it wasn't necessary. Paid out hundreds and the headboard had been sliced at the back, they wouldn't do anything. Long and short of it....I would never use again!

We purchased a bed base with headboard 3 and a bit years ago The mattress was a Tempur which we are still pleased with, it came with a 10 yr guarantee- the base came with a 5 year guarantee and has now broken twice - you think it would be covered under the guarantee- but NO - they have advised me to get and independent report re the fault and will give me a percentage towards the report cost ? Around £150 plus vat and they will give me up to £100 towards it if it is a manufacturing issue ? How can this be a guarantee for 5 years Could anyone advise please - the first issue was resolved with no problems - so why are they refusing to even inspect this time as it’s on the opposite side of the base ?

We are having a terrible experience with Bensons. We were supposed to receive our new bed on Monday and took a day off to take delivery. On the morning of delivery we received a phone call from the driver to say somebody in the warehouse hadn't loaded part of the bed onto the lorry and therefore we would have to call customer services for alternative delivery arrangements. CS couldn't tell us when we would receive it but we would hear within 24 hours. That was on Monday, it is now Thursday and have still not heard despite calling on numerous occasions. We were even told "they must have meant 24 working hours". Eventually, after an hour on hold we asked for a refund we were told we wouldn't be elidable because we purchased the product online. When we said that wasn't acceptable the customer service agent hung up the phone. I would never purchase anything from this company again

We ordered our ottoman bed in May for delivery early July. It was delayed until 3rd August. Now it’s been delayed until 2nd September! We’ve booked time off work to receive the delivery and assemble the bed and can’t take time off in September. Plus, we disposed of our old bed when we were expecting the original delivery so we’ve been sleeping on our old mattress on the floor for a month already. Called customer service to complain, they can’t arrange weekend deliveries or bring it forward but offered a £50 compensation payment. I so wish I’d listened to the reviews on other sites (bensons can choose to omit some of these poor ones on TP so I doubt my review will be live for long!). Other companies are offering similar beds online for next day delivery and cheaper but I wanted one I could go into a shop and see. I should have just taken the gamble. I might still do that if it gets delayed further.

I ordered a bed frame and mattress. When it arrived it had a stain on the mattress. It then took me a week to be able to speak to someone who was rude an unhelpful. She wanted me to go and strip the whole bed and take another photo after already sending several. I explained I was unwell and couldn't do this. She was dismissive. You don't expect to pay £500 for a mattress and it turns up stained

Paid for an order for a TV Bed, Side Units, Double Bed and two mattresses on 1st May 2022, totalling £5,500 with two separate delivery dates. The TV bed, units and mattress was due on 20th June. They arrived and part delivered the order advising that the bed was not in stock and advised that we should have been given prior notification - we did not. Called Customer Services, 99th in the queue, finally got through to be told order was delayed due to distribution issues and delivery would now take place on 12th July. 12th July arrives, delivery team turn up and unload lorry, however they only had 5 out of 6 boxes, so they loaded the 5 boxes up again and took it away and told us we would have to speak to Customer Services again. After another 45 minute wait in queue, we we explained the issue and we were told that we would have to wait until 11th August for delivery - clearly we moved to the back of the queue for deliveries again. We explained that this was not acceptable, that they had confirmed that they had all the parts in stock, so we were not prepared to be pushed to the back of the line again after two failed deliveries. As per usual, the customer services team unhelpfully told us that the computer says no, and they were completely unwilling to find any form of compromise. We decided that after 2 failed deliveries and no faith or confidence that they would get it right on the third attempt, and as a result of their breach of the contract of sale we wanted to cancel the order. We then spent a full week in queues and on calls with customer services refusing to give us a refund. Firstly they told us we would have to do a 40 mile trip to the store we made the purchase at to get a refund on the undelivered bed and that customer services would refund us the money for the parts they did deliver. So we went to the store to be told, we can't give you a refund until everything is returned. We explained that was unacceptable, each item was purchased as a separate line item on the bill and they had not delivered the bed so we wanted the refund for the bed of £2069. They said no, not until everything had been returned. Asked to speak to a manager but noone on duty so had to wait for a call back the following day. The manager called and said that he won't refund the money as the tv that was delivered needed to be returned first and that the first delivery date to collect it would be the 1st August. Again we explained that this was not acceptable as they should not have delivered the tv unless the order was complete and that we were not prepared to wait until August for them to collect the goods. The manager, Richy was incredibly rude and told us "I'm telling you how it is", no refund until the goods are picked up by their delivery drivers which won't be until August. We have then spent every day since ringing customer services trying to find a solution to obtaining our refund with hours and hours spent in queues and really unhelpful customer service reps repeating that the computer says no. Finally we managed to speak to someone who said that if we returned the goods that had been delivered to the store, the store would then be able to process our refund and that this would be the quickest way of solving the issue. So off we went to deliver the side units and TV to the store. Once there they said that customer services hadn't updated the system correctly and so they were not able to process the refund. Some more hours in queues and speaking to customer services who then told us that the person should never had told us to deliver the goods back to the store as they have no proof of delivery, so still refuse to provide the refund. We asked for the matter to be escalated, she would not put us through to a manager, point blank refused and told us that the process was to raise an escalation ticket and that we have to wait for a call from the escalation team within 48 hours - another 48 HOURS, whilst they sit on all our money and refuse to refund it. So this is where we currently are in our long, drawn out, incredibly frustrating saga. No goods, complete failure throughout to deliver on the sales contract, hours and hours in queues and on calls, complete inconsistency on the advice given every day on how to solve the issue and now a refusal to speak to us as we have to wait 48 hours for someone to call us back, whilst they continue to sit on £2,628.98 of our money and continue to earn interest on money that legally belongs to us. MY ADVICE TO ANYONE CONSIDERING BUYING FROM BENSONS FOR BEDS IS TO PLEASE DON'T DO IT FOR YOUR OWN WELLBEING AND FOR YOUR OWN FINANCIAL SECURITY. STAY WELL CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!

Not worthy of any star. Ordered 2 mattresses for my daughters. Was scheduled a delivery on a Monday between 9.30am & 11.30am. Got a call to say delivery would be delayed to later that afternoon. 3pm came. Nothing. 5pm came. Nothing. Called the delivery company DX who chased up the driver who said we would be assured delivery by 6pm. 6pm came.. no delivery. Managed to contact DX again just before they all buggered off home for the day and assured us again that the mattresses would arrived before 8pm! Luckily we had the drivers number due to previous communication- I called around 6pm and he told me he would make his delivery at 6.30 as he was at the Bristol depot...bare in mind I live 100miles from bristol so i could only assume his delivery van was a magic carpet! 9pm comes and still no delivery and we could not contact the driver. All of a sudden I get an unprofessional text to say the delivery will be with us between 7 and 9am the next day. Our daughters had no beds for the night. Great. Next morning comes...no delivery again! Get through to DX who have no idea where these mattresses had gone. Bensons had no clue either?! Eventually after queuing and waiting to get through to DX and bensons, delivery was scheduled for the following Monday. Leaving my children without mattresses for a further week. Monday comes, surprisingly at the scheduled time slot,the mattresses were thrown through the door with no communication from the delivery men but were very swiftly thrown back at them when one of the mattresses had oil stains and the plastic wrapping was ripped. Seeing as we ordered 2 mattresses I wasn't accepting just one leaving one of my children yet again without a bed. Contact DX again as they seem to be on speed dial by this point who then told us to contact bensons. Position 74 in the que, eventually get through who tell us they need to reschedule delivery to the 18th of July! Because apparently mattresses are made to order...LOL. An absolute shambles seeing as the first order was placed in early May! Don't waste your money using Bensons, I think I've spent more on my phone bill that I did on the mattresses! As for DX I will make sure any company I order from do not use them. This review is being written before my next scheduled delivery- at this rate there is more chance of Jesus resurrecting again!
