“I love shopping at FinishDesign, they have mostly all the design products that are on the market. The coverage is really impressive. Overall a good user experience.”
“Love my sturdy, artsy, unique rolling TV stand. Shipped fast and flawless from Finland to California. Assembly was somewhat involved, but appropriate for something that needs to be reliable and is this big and heavy. Instructions were in English, complete and easy to follow. Plenty of extra hardware included, to get the job done. Very happy with this purchase.”
“Items arrived in perfect form just as photos described. The only reason I rate it less than full star rating is due to the long wait for the items to arrive, which was indicated right from the start! But still four weeks is a long time to wait for goods. Will be ordering again. Thanks!”
“Köpte klädsel till Aalto dagbädd. Den var fin och välsydda. Efter att ha suttit i dagbädden 2 gånger har tyget gett med sig och blivit löst.
Det var en besvikelse med tanke på att man sitter/ligger i en dagbädd.”
“Sought replacement for defective item. Took a lot of back and forth. Still awaiting final approval and replacement.
At the onset, the manfacturer, Audo, tried to deny the product was defective in their discussion with Finnish Design Shop. However, I had a separate converstation thread (through email) directly and concurrently with Audo where they said they concurred it is a defect and would honor a replacement. So when I posed this contradictory statement from Audo to Finnish Design Shop, they got back to Audo, and suddenly a replacement was finally approved. I suspect this was because Audo was caught in a lie; the contradictory Audo decisions to both accept (in their contact with me) and deny (in their contact with Finnish Design Shop) the replacement came from the same exact person.
There has been a lot of back and forth, some repeat errors in return shipping label processing (which was never resolved, but I made it work through my own additional work and research) by Finnish Design Shop, and yet more time and energy spent repackaging a very large, heavy, and not personally-transportable product—and the replacement won't arrive for another month-plus (this is not Finnish's fault).
Ultimately, while Finnish support did try to affect a replacement for a defective product, it never would have happened were I not in this uncommon position where I was able to pose contradictory messaging direct from the manufacturer. So they should improve their defective product policy to properly protect their customers. If this instance is representative of their replacement and returns process, it is equal to having no basic customer coverage and respect.”
