“Driver wouldn't deliver, even though we've had a bed delivered and assembled by them before. He drove away while I was still on the phone to the office trying to sort it out.”

“Having to pay between £25 and £75 for delivery depending on what day you want is acceptable if it turns up. Sadly 2 of the 4 boxes did not arrive. 5 days went by before the other 2 turned up. Someone has to be in for delivery = 2 days down in salary for time off. Customer service at Get Laid Beds is slightly disappointing as it was clear that they pass all responsibility over to the courier for any delays. Even after pointing out that my contract is with GLB and I have paid GLB the fee, they held their hands up to all responsibility and blamed the courier 11 times in 1 phone call. All the while - still no bed. I will say that they did try to contact the courier and did call me back, however, still had no resolution to the issue "it's the courier's fault" x 11! Worse even is the instructions for the bed. TOTALLY USELESS! 3 of the pieces in the nuts and bolts kit were not even mentioned in the instructions. Even though it's flatpack you really would need to know your DIY stuff well to work out where these bits went. We have had to back track and take things apart 3 times while putting this bed together, just in order to add in the steps missing from the instructions. Even then we got to the end and found something else that had not been included. We are yet to add this in as taking the bed apart again is really hard work. None of this is worth the money or time, when there are so many other companies out there to choose from. The quality of the product is ok - it's not the best by a long way, but it does the job. There are lots of options with other companies to buy a bed from - my suggestion would be to use another one. After several calls, they did agree to refund me the delivery fee - which was where the 1* came in.”

“You forgot to load the mattress for delivery which was paid for. How could this happen. You are a bed company. Utterly disappointed.”

“I would love to write a review on the bed, unfortunately I have no idea what it's like. I paid for their white glove delivery and build and delayed the date of delivery to one that could accommodate the installation also, took the day off work as until late the night before you only have a 7am-9pm delivery slot. Only to have the bed dumped the next morning at 7.40 with the driver saying 'yeah I'm on my own, nothing I can do, can't build it and can't take it to specified room.' Of course you can't get through to the company until 9am, for them to say, 'we'll try to send someone out in a week or two for the build, nothing else we can do.' Such terrible service, my advice would be to go elsewhere, such as big bed company. The service and after care is far superior. Hoping once the bed is built that it isn't going to be as terrible as the delivery / aftercare service. I can imagine it will be a nightmare to return if it is.”

Good Afternoon, Please accept our apologies for the delivery issue. Due to illness in the delivery teams one Van did have to only have one driver. The Logistics Managers were unable to let customer service know until we opened also. We apologise that the timings did not match up and we were unable to call you to make you aware first. Sadly your delivery area is only on a Wednesday with the assembly service, the soonest date we could offer you was the very next Wednesday. We have refunded you the original additional Assembly fee you have paid for the failed assembly on the 19th. The team will be attending to assemble on the 26th. If you wish to return your order once it is built, we can arrange the team to come out and disassemble the bed frame to take it away. Please be aware it will be a Wednesday due to your postcode area. Once it is returned you will be refunded. All refunds a processed within 14 working days. We do hope that you are happy with your bed once it is assembled. Again please accept our apology for the communication issues and the failed assembly of your bed frame. Kind Regards, Marie Customer Service Advisor

“You need a better delivery company/arrangement. Having to stay in all day with zero notice or delivery slot isn't feasible for most people, and now the delivery driver has given me 2 of 6 parts and can't even guarantee the rest will come today, meaning I have to be in for the next 3 days without leaving the house whatsoever just to make sure I get the delivery.”

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I cant see any communication from you in regards to the delay in receiving all of your packages. Please do call our customer service team who will be happy to help with any delays. They will contact FedEx for updates for you. FedEx do only offer an all day service. We do have other delivery styles you did not opt for which include an estimated time of arrival time slot. As an online retailer we do have to rely on outside couriers for a large quantity of our deliveries. We are very sorry that this service failed on this occasion.

Good Afternoon, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are very sorry for the delay caused by the couriers. As an online retailer we do have to rely heavily on outside couriers to deliver our orders. The couriers had mistakenly sent one of your boxes to the incorrect depot. Something that Get laid Beds cannot control. The couriers contacted you directly with a delivery date for the missing item. I can see you have been in contact with a member of the Management team and they have offered the refund of your delivery fee for the delayed service. Once again please accept our apologies for the mistake made. Kind Regards, Marie Customer Service Manager

“Would definetly avoid. The whole experience was ridiculous, starting with delivery. Ordered and paid for the bed to be delivered on 23/05, but nothing arrived and not been notified of any delays. Contacted customer service to ask what's going on, as not bed not arrived and was promised a call back shortly - nobody bothered. Contact them next day, to see what's going and "they need to check". At the same time, informed them I will be away for the next 2 weeks, and if the cannot deliver on the day, not to deliver until my return - same story "we'll call you back shortly" but no-one bothered again. Of course the bed gets delivered first day I am away - the driver basically ditched it on my neighbour's front door and drove off before she had a chance to say anything - bed now needs to stay there for foreseeable future. Upon my return, find out there is various damage on the bed - contact customer support again and the response is "assemble the frame and probably you won't see the damage, if anything is showing you might cover it with a throw(!)". Ask for a delivery refund, so I can buy the neighbour a bottle of wine - completely ignored. Start assembling the bed, find out screws are missing, being told to either sour e myself or they will send over - another few days lost until these arrived. Finished assembling the bed, damage is still visible and find out bed creaks like there is no tomorrow - they tell me to send over a video, so I did. Response? Start disassembling the bed trying to figure out what's wrong with it. At this point I give up as had enough of dealing with it, so send an email informing them my patience is out, to which response is "is the bed still creaking?". Yes, it's still creaking”

“I ordered a super king size ottoman bed and paid 2000. on the delivery day, the guys arrived early and started to assemble it. At a certain point, they started to leave. They told me that a part was missing and that I'd need to speak to Customer Support who would offer a speedy, fix it next day, service. Meanwhile the mattress is standing vertically. They suggested that I put the mattress in the half completed bed frame, Heath Robinson style, in the mean time. I immediately contacted the Customer Service, they proposed a delivery date in 6 days time, I replied immediately and said yes. A day or so later, I received a confirmation email of the new delivery date, but in 2 weeks time, not 6 days time. when I contacted them and asked them why, they told me that I had not replied quick enough. So today is delivery day hopefully. The company feels like it is staffed by low paid, unskilled workers. It feels very sloppy, with a lack of attention to detail. I thought I was buying a Mercedes, but now I think I'm buying a Mercedes thats been put together by beginners.”

“Absolutely awful service. If you’re looking to order from this business think twice. When things go wrong they will make no effort to rectify. They will be condescending, fob you off and then go on to cancel your order without your say so. Their website has different delivery dates to what is offered on the telephone. You will be waiting at least 2 weeks. The website has issues processing payment. Misleading delivery times on the website. When you raise a complaint it’ll most likely be dealt with by the person you’re complaining about or who processed your initial complaint. These people managed to really screw up. I would not recommend them to anyone who values service and experience. Can’t comment on the product as they cancelled the order without my say so. But I wouldn’t want to sleep where this came from anyway.”

“We visit a showroom where it has a glossy look and feel and initially get great service when we order. The bed we chose is there to see, assembled and looks and feels just right. We order it with a mattress and assembly for something like fifteen hundred quid. In the grand scheme, that’s a lot for a double bed, but that’s ok. The delivery is rapid but problem one comes with delivery and assembly. The delivery folks not only don’t build the entire bed, they damage the bed while they’re doing it and then scarper before we saw - they literally just downed tools and left with not a word. Didn’t tell us they’d finished, didn’t ask us to sign, didn’t even say goodbye. It felt like they ran off to not get caught. So, I have a bed that wasn’t fully put together, that has been damaged by sloppy workmanship and where it was put together, the build quality is like a toddler making a Lego set. There are gaps in panels, things not screwed together flush, supports not screwed on tightly - it’s a bit of a horror show and stinks of a shoddy rush job. When it comes to putting it right, Get Laid’s customer service is so inflexible, so lacking in user friendliness, fails to grasp the situation to such an extent that the only way they can fix their own staff’s hash of delivering and building the bed is to put us to considerable trouble involving the hassle and faff of returning a bed to them, getting a full refund and ordering another one while our four year old (who the bed is for) does what…. Sleeps on the floor? Why is it not possible to collect the bed and deliver one that isn’t damaged? I’m sure there will be some half baked, can’t be bothered, logistical drivel to ‘explain’ it. An initially good customer experience when buying ended up as a MasterClass in not cleaning up your own mess. So if nothing goes wrong, Get Laid are fine. If something does, my experience has been that they’ve been dreadful at fixing it. I’d suggest looking at the reviews here - the poor reviews have a theme - it revolves around the delivery staff and their capabilities. Guys - get a new logistics partner. When c. 8% of customers reviewing you say similar things, it’s time to listen.”

“I bought a super king-size bed from GetLaidBeds. The slats in the bed are 183cm so 3cm bigger than they should be. I now have a gap between the side of a bed and the mattress. I never imagined that considering I paid 1000 pounds for the bed, it would not follow the standard sizing of 200cm x 180cm. When I complained using their online chat, I was offered no apology and instead was told that people don't complain to them about the size. Well here is your complaint. If I could give you zero for both your product and customer service, I would. Another letdown was that they were not offering assembly for the area I live in so we had to assemble ourselves. This wouldn't be a problem, as we normally assemble all our furniture ourselves. But this time, there were 2 sets of different slats, with no way of knowing which ones are for the bed and which ones are for under-bed storage. Their manual is useless and to this day I don't have the under-bed storage assembled. Platform Bed (No Headboard) - Bed Size: 6' - Super King - Type of Slat Base: Standard Slat Base - Fixed - Solid Bed Frame Finish: Solid Oak (Satin) - Style of Bed Legs: Tapered Modern Underbed Storage Box - Underbed Storage Box Size: Full Box (184 x 59cm) - Solid Finish: Solid Ash (Satin)”

“Be careful with this company. My platform bed arrived with two major issues: 1. Pilot hole placement was very consistent on the 4 corner pieces. Some were so misplaced that it was literally impossible to drive the screw. Customer service claimed it was within tolerance, but the delta was about an inch from other corners and, as I said before, made assembly literally impossible. 2. The pilot holes have insets to make way for included washers. But the depth of these insets in some cases was not sufficient for the washer to not poke out, which interfered with the adjoining frame making assembly with the washer literally impossible. Customer service claimed the washers were "aesthetic" and therefore I could assemble the bed without them, but I question this because 1) washers are not typically used for aesthetics and 2) the screw is not exposed when the bed is assembled so there is not need for washers for aesthetics. After several back and forth emails with their customer service, they offered me $40 to hire a "handyman" to assemble the bed (I live in San Francisco where no such services exist at that price) or I could return it for $150. Now I understand why their website only features hand picked reviews!”

“Whilst the quality and workmanship is good the customer service is scandalously poor. They turned up at 7.30 and left without making a serious attempt at getting hold of us. No warning they were going to turn up and notified us 2 hrs later. The new delivery date is 2 and half weeks later meaning we have no bed to sleep in when we move in. There are other sites offering similar products so not sure they should be quite as slap dash with good customers. Will think twice before using them again.”

“Please do not order from this company. I placed an order did not get my bed as promised. I did not get a refund so I disputed the charge. I was told to dismiss my my dispute and I would get a refund. When I did and the merchant got their money they did not refund me. I have been trying to get a refund for almost a year.”

“Big mistake on buying this bed! I have the same exact experience to report as the other 1-star reviews... Packages delivered totally destroyed and missing one box, of course the box with the 4 posts, hardware and directions. One of the floating side shelves is missing 3 of the 4 screws holding the bracket on. I sent a detailed email about the missing parts and only received the 4 posts... At least if I had the directions I could go to Home depot and get the screws and biscuits.... Bummed...”

“I ordered a bed and booked the full assembly service.There was no parking space immediately outside my house. Instead of parking at the end of our short, one way road and carrying the items in as all other delivery teams have done, the driver wanted to simply dump the bits on the pavement. This was not acceptable. When I said the only option was therefore to return the bed he shrugged and drove off. No other delivery teams have had a problem. The products look lovely and if you have a dedicated parking space immediately outside your house, or live in the middle of a field, you’ll be fine. Otherwise proceed with caution or avoid entirely. Bed now obtained from a different company.”

“We ordered a low platform king bed that came in two separate shipments weeks apart. It came with no instructions, albeit the construction was simple corners, side rails and slats. It is a low profile bed which is appreciated, however it came with only one support that didn’t reach the rails for a king size bed. Our old king size bed, had 5 supports across the span. Needless to say this will not comply with any mattress warranty nor provide any support, even for an expensive mattress. After contacting the company about the problem, their solution was to change me more money for the extra supports. Which seems exorbitant for the already overly priced less supportive than a basic futon frame. The king bed also costs more than the California king which is larger and has more supports. Go figure. Extremely Disappointed. Needless to say I will have to get supports myself, because they want to charge over $100 for two boards. The wood is natural and good quality. However it is overpriced and the bed has no support. Overpriced for what it is. A bed lacking in support. Poor Engineering.”

“Avoid at all costs. I was very excited to find these amazingly designed beds. I ordered a king size platform poster bed. On the initial delivery date, the tracker they sent me to use said the delivery van was over an hour away. So I decided this would be a good time to leave work to get home with plenty of time to meet them. Two minutes passes and they ring to say they're outside!! I jump in a taxi, get home in ten minutes only to find they've left, despite being assured they would wait for me! Then on the next chosen delivery date (two weeks later), they arrive early and get to work assembling the bed. The men aren't wearing masks, during a pandemic. They inform me two vital bits of the bed are missing. They leave. Then half an hour later return with the 'missing parts'. In all honesty though it seems like they just took two random legs off another bed as they assembled the parts for a four poster bed which mine isn't! I've contacted get laid beds who say they'll send the correct legs for assembly, who knows when. This means yet another day off work for me, costing me a total of £190 for my time off work. I've asked for a refund on assembly and delivery fees and compensation for my unnecessary time off work. Their replies have been snippy, blaming everyone except themselves for all the mistakes. They've finally offered me a random £80 for my hassle or a total refund for the bed. Neither of which solves my issues. I've asked for a manager to call me, which I hope they will do today. Terrible customer service overall, and on inspecting the correct bits of the bed I do have, I can see it's badly made, with the headboard seeming loose and creaky. Would never recommend to anyone.”

“My husband and I are extremely disappointed with our experience with Get Laid Beds. Initially we were so excited to find theses beds for our Airbnb project. They looked perfect in every way. I wish I could go back to that day and tell myself "Don't do it!!" This bed company has wasted our time, set back our launch date significantly, and not done anything remotely helpful. We let the company know about our situation before any problems had arisen by saying we needed the beds before June 1. This did not seem like it would be an issue as we ordered the beds in April. The date they were set to arrive was in May. I understand international shipping is totally wack with COVID. I'm actually not even that upset about the beds arriving late. It is the way that the company (we mostly spoke with Amy) handled the situation that is beyond frustrating. I'm 22 years old, I don't ask to speak with managers, I'm just a kid. Get Laid Beds will drive you to this point. There is no accountability. 5 out of 8 of our packages have been missing for a month. We were unable to put our Airbnb up without a bed frame so we bought different ones from IKEA. In one of our many calls to Get Laid Beds we were told that we could decide whether we wanted to wait indefinitely for the beds or receive a refund and do whatever we wanted with the packages that had arrived. We built one of the IKEA beds which is no small feat and decided we would take the refund. We let Amy know. A few days later Amy let us know that FEDEX was finally going to be sending the package because it was being canceled and they don't like to do returns. A few days later the beds were at our house and now we are being told that we can not get a refund until all of the packages have been returned to Get Laid. To recap, we asked for the refund we were told we could have, Amy went to cancel the order, and because of this FEDEX made the delivery go through, now the refund is somehow unavailable until the packages arrive back to England (I'm sure it's much quicker going the other way). Nothing changed on our end yet decisions were made for us in the company's best interest rather than ours.The whole situation is maddening and so out of our control. As I mentioned before, I am a kid and $1,300 means a lot to me. I have no problem sending back the packages but to be denied the refund that we were promised is so frustrating. I would not be surprised if the beds took another two months to get back so we won't see our money until the fall?! Speaking on the phone with Amy today was like talking to a wall. Suddenly there was nothing that could be done for us until we send the beds back. They blame FEDEX for the whole debacle (meanwhile FEDEX who we spent hours on the phone with blames Get Laid Beds). We paid $1,300 to be absolutely shafted by Get Laid Beds. I'm sure if you are not on a deadline and you don't mind not hearing anything from the company when a problem comes up you will be able to enjoy their fine craftsmanship.”
