“Just a garbage company. I have spent so much time talking to customer service that I don't have the bandwidth to type my entire experience out here... but basically they are charging me hundreds of dollars to return an item that I cancelled BEFORE it shipped. Zero help or understanding from a company that I thought was about customer service.”

“Don’t buy the protection plan. It’s a scam. Allstate would not help me and I paid 250 for 5 year coverage.”

“Scheduled to have a wayfair coach delivered was given a 12 hour window the showed up then used any excuse of what they could not move in in. Next thing I know they are gone and guess that's that and highly domt recommend wayfair. Buy local if you want a care free experience.”

“On Nov. 3rd, I received confirmation my order was received and would be delivered by Nov. 15. Today, 18 days after that confirmation, I had an email saying it was unavailable and had been unilarerally cancelled. I had no correspondence, at all, from Wayfair about the order not being fulfilled until I made several phone calls asking why tracking ON NOVEMBER 18 stated my order had not even been shipped. I am appalled by the absolute lack of service, disrespect, and fraudulent behaviour by using my funds for accumulation of interest for almost three weeks.”

“On 11/1/24 I placed an order for a teak patio table and chairs. I tracked the order with an estimated delivery date of 11/10 - 11/18. On 11/14, I signed into my account to find the order had not been shipped and had been discounted by $500. I was told that Wayfair does not price match so I asked for a supervisor who informed me that the tracking would update overnight and I would see the tracking number on Friday, Nov 15th. I signed in on 11/15, 16, 17, and 18 to find no tracking number so I called Wayfair customer service who confirmed the item still had not shipped and that the order was being canceled and a refund credited to my credit card. November 20th, I received an email notification of a refund and that a $200 shipping fee was deducted from the refund. It is absurd to charge a $200 delivery fee for an item never shipped.”

“They sold us a chandelier that broke in 3 months. Thus came straight from China and now I see other reviews about how bad the quality is. Customer service promised to refund our money but was dishonest and did not. But from a reputable place not Wayfair.”

“When ordering, wayfair assured that it would be delivered in 4 days, after paid, despite shipped, everyday, estimated delivery date is being postponed! So frustrating now may be in another 10 days.. is it coming from another country? What is taking so long? i bought the item as i needed it in that particular time frame, next time, i will use a reliable source such as amazon. I am warning buyers not to use wayfair, there is no way to find a real person to complain or cancel the order or get the money back, very poor service. Donot use wayfair.”

“I ordered three items and paid for expedited shipping. The packages were delayed for several days and Wayfair refuses to refund the expedited shipping charges. All they say is “It can’t be done”. I have had a chat conversation with several different customer service representatives but get nowhere. I have asked for a supervisor to contact me and have not heard from anyone. I will never use this company again and will tell everyone about my experience.”

“Ordered a bookcase 7th October with a delivery estimate of 21st October. That date came and went with zero communication from the company. When I contacted them I was told I would need to wait 15 days from the 15th October as orders can be delayed. I contacted them again on the 5th November and at that point the person I spoke to said they would have to reorder a replacement item as something had gone wrong but they could deliver it on Thursday 7th. I get a notification confirming delivery and then a narrow 3 hour window for the 7th at 22.35 on the 6th November. I had to rearrange my work to be at home that day and then the order was delayed at 5.40, just over two hours before the start of the delivery window. On contacting the company for a third time I was told someone would be in contact within 48hrs of the previous email. On the 11th November at 4.35 I suddenly received an email to say the item would be delivered on the 12th, when I was due to be at work. I did not read this email instantly so was unable to rearrange the order and so had to rearrange my entire day to be at home only for my entire order to be cancelled 8 minutes before my delivery window started because the item was out of stock. I then contacted the chat again to find out what was happening as there are multiple entries of the same item on my orders and I was told the item had indeed been cancelled and I would receive a refund. They said the complaint would be forwarded internally and I then asked for a reference for this, but they were unable to provide anything and just kept reiterating that it would be dealt with. I then asked to speak to a manager and they refused this as well. I cannot believe the left of awful customer service throughout this entire order process. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!”

“I will never buy from Wayfair again! Buyer beware. They send out damaged merchandise. I had to wait three weeks for them to get me correct parts. I asked for a refund but they wouldn't give to me. will never buy from they again. They do not believe in customer service.”

“I ordered a rug for my home, I chose that particular item partly because it stated next day delivery. Once ordered that changed to 3 days, still acceptable. Over the next 3 weeks my estimated delivery date was changed 9 times! That is unacceptable company service. My family dinner was long over when I finally received the item almost a month later. Terrible customer service! I deleted the products I had in my cart because I couldn’t trust I would receive them by Christmas.”

“Wayfair is just an online store and does all shipments drop shipped from vendors. I placed an order for two laundry sinks on 10/30/24 with notification from Wayfair that delivery date is 11/07/24. Today, 11/08/24 I called Wayfair about my order only to be told that they don't know why it wasn't shipped and can get me an answer in two days. My options are to have a new delivery date of another week. Wayfair refuses to in any way try to fix the problem by even doing an overnight or two day shipment. This is the email sent by Wayfair: An investigation has been opened order 4317220319 and are looking into the status of the order. My take up to ten (10) days while we wait for scan data." The status we already established that it wasn't shipped; so there are a lot of idiots at Wayfair like Jason who is a manager there. IN the meantime they charged my CC the $153.08 on 10/30/24 and as per Jason it's my fault because i should have known since i did not get a shipped confirmation with a tracking and it is between the vendor and myself. I did get a shipped date confirmation from Wayfair. Meanwhile Wayfair had no clue that the order was not shipped and was surprised when i called and they couldn't find answers.”

“I recently furnished my entire house and purchased numerous items from Wayfair. Unfortunately, I found that many items were falsely advertised as being of better quality than they actually are, and several arrived with defects. I was particularly disappointed with the term "solid wood," which often turned out to be particleboard. I ordered a bed for my son that was supposed to arrive in a week. However, when I tracked the order, it showed a delay due to damage caused by the courier. I contacted Wayfair and requested that the damaged item be returned to the manufacturer for a replacement, along with a prompt shipment of a non-damaged item. While they did return the bed to the manufacturer, they failed to initiate the shipment of a replacement. The bed reached the manufacturer on October 12, and after noticing no further updates, I called Wayfair. They informed me that the item was no longer available and apologized for the delay in shipping the replacement. Now, the new delivery date is set for November 20, accompanied only by verbal apologies. While browsing online, I discovered that the same bed was available on their website for delivery on November 12 at a reduced price of about $40. When I contacted customer service, I received more verbal apologies but was unable to cancel the higher-priced item scheduled for November 20. Additionally, I ordered a couch that was set to be delivered on November 9, but I received an email nearly 24 hours prior notifying me that the delivery had been postponed to November 16. Again, I was met with verbal apologies. Ultimately, Wayfair offered a 10% discount on a future purchase as compensation for the miscommunications and issues I encountered. I believe it's time for consumers to reconsider supporting large corporations that prioritize profit over customer experience. Our investments are merely a drop in the bucket for them, and empty words are insufficient. I recommend exploring smaller companies or supporting local businesses instead. If you’re a fan of IKEA, you might find Wayfair to be a suitable alternative, but I urge caution based on my experience. Good luck!”

“Aside from being more expensive than all other comparable companies offering the exact same products, Wayfair's delivery service is absolutely horrid. To begin... their drivers are rude and not the slightest bit customer friendly. I am a designer and this time I spent around $15K on their site with no special treatment, no incentives or bonuses, none of the things that Amazon offers. Their regular delivery partner is bad enough, leaving items just inside the gate of the small apartment complex, or heavy boxes at the bottom of the stairs, or just randomly scattered around anywhere but at the front door of the unit. And their "white glove" delivery service requires that someone be at the property to accept delivery during a window of time that could be as early as 7am. Despite giving the idea that the customer has any input in the delivery time, they do not. You get what you get and you deal with it. If you do not live at the property where the items is being delivered (ie, if you are a designer like me), this can be extremely inconvenient. You can expect drivers to (1) call 1 time, leave no message, no text and if you don't answer you don't get your delivery, (2) show up outside of the scheduled window of delivery time and leave if you aren't able to be there at the time they are, (3) cancel deliveries at the last minute with no explanation. I experienced all of this and more. I called until I finally reached the Service Supervisor who helped me get my items re-scheduled for delivery, I received a confirmation for delivery, and the next morning both items were canceled and returned to the warehouse. Putting me 3 weeks behind on my design job and requiring that I start over ordering a dining table and sofa from someone else. To top it off... I still gave them one final chance to do right by me, I ordered one final sofa from them ONLY because they offered the earliest delivery date, and they immediately canceled my order and emailed me to say they will no long accept orders from me!!! Just can't make this up. THEY ditched ME after I spent tens of thousands of dollars on their site, and after they screwed up my deliveries over, and over, and over again and literally NO ONE at Wayfair would help me. Use literally ANY other company but this one, trust me.”

“I ordered 4 armchairs, found out 4 minutes after ordered badbathbeyond has it for $100 cheaper. I went back to my order and there is no option of cancellation within 9 minutes of the order, I called customer services number within 10 minutes order was in. Alicia said she cannot refund it and it is already processed, in 10 minutes....Called again and I believe I talked to an AI customer services rep. They ignored refund stating the order is already on dock to be shipped within 14 minutes order has been put in and fedex tracking created. I asked them to price match with the proof of pricing i can provide...answer was no, asked for full refund as it is super fresh order and i called them within 10 minutes order put in and answer was no again. Asked for free return label as I will definitely not keep it because it is $100 over than bedbathbeyond.com. Answer was no. Asked them if i can reject the shipment, they said fedex may take it back and store in their storage for weeks before shipping back to them. I asked the what was the cost of shipping back would be, he said 14-18 dollars, then the number went up to $24....I asked if he can guarantee that, he said it is typically around that....I challenged him this is not a common practice and this definetely not feel right as we have strong consumer laws in California. No resolution...items will arrive tomorrow. I will take it back to fedex and order the goods from other retailer. Also cancelling and returning our other orders from wayfair with total of $2000+ we put in last week through my girlfriend's account, regardless of shipping charges as they don't deserve any type of business, never will do business with them and will make sure to leave comment to all social media channels and let other consumers know.”

“I received a sofa now and for the second time the sofa came wrong, I bought leather and it came fabric for the second time, I have never seen such an incompetent company. The delivery to collect the first wrong sofa came 5 times and didn't collect it because there was always something wrong, either they didn't bring labels or the van was full or the van was small, always stupid and incompetent reasons. I bought the sofa in August and I've been waiting 3 months to receive the correct sofa in this mess and incompetence, the service is terrible. I don't recommend it to anyone, it's a headache to buy from this company. incompetent company”

“I am never buying from this retailer again. They have ‘lost’ my double bed somewhere and I am having major issues trying to arrange a refund as they have a ridiculous 10 day policy stating they can’t help me with anything until 10 days after the EDD. I have even been in touch with the 3rd party retailer who have admitted a transport issue causing the item to be lost in transit. Wayfair refused to communicate directly with the supplier. Quick to take money, very slow to resolve issues, even if it means a disabled person is sleeping on the floor for nearly 2 weeks!”
