“Two days unpaid from work had to take it to the management. Customer Service is appalling. Would never use again .”

“Wish I had read the reviews before ordering!! Ordered a bed in the black Friday sale. Including matress and had delivery dates confirmed for two weeks later. Brilliant. In time for Christmas! Recieved the bed frame, duvet, bedding no issues (apart from being all separate deliveries which we had to book off work) and the mattress was due a few days later so we dismantled and disposed of our old bed and put up an air bed for the last couple of days. Checked delivery the day before to make sure there was a time slot. The mattress had been placed on back order until January. Now I ordered because it said in stock so I rang them and they were polite but absolutely useless!! There was nothing that could be done. I explained I didn't want to be sleeping on the floor for Christmas when it wasn't our fault! To add to the audacity they had next day delivery of mattresses on their website but as I had used black Friday discount this didn't apply to me. Even though they were the same!!! I asked to speak to a manager which they said they couldn't do and one would ring me within 48 hours (shocker they didn't) I just received a snotty email from the warehouse stating that they had a delay and that I would just have to wait it out. The customer service team also told me all mattresses are made to order and that's why there is a delay and another told me that they are a drop shipping company and don't actually have control of their stock I cancelled my order and ordered with amazon which came 3 days later and of excellent quality and when it said it would be Never ever use this useless company again”

“We ordered a couch and matching chair. The couch came the chair didn’t and after many run around a from customer service were told that the chair wouldn’t be shipped because the shipping company wouldn’t ship anything that’s not on a pallet. We canceled the order returned the couch that they wouldn’t refund our money on only to have the chair arrive a week later. In the meantime we ordered a new set. So now we are stuck with a chair from the original set that they can’t find a shipping company to pick it up and therefore we can’t be refunded our money. We have a totally different set that came stained and defective and they won’t return it either. This has been a nightmare and on top of it all the customer service rep accused me of damaging the items so that I could get a refund. It’s unethical and hurtful. Dealing with them is impossible and we are out thousands.”

“I ordered a fireplace for my wife back on November 1st for her birthday. Her parents gave her a gift card because she asked for it to buy the one fireplace on the site she liked. This was delayed and lost in ship four times. We just received today *12/31/20* that we will not get the fireplace now until May. When we called customer service and ultimately spoke to a senior supervisor, she did nothing to help us and had zero power to help. They refunded us in a gift card which is no longer relevant because they have no fireplaces in stock. When we asked for our money back they said no. When we asked for a credit more than we had since we have been fighting with them for two months and would not receive the fireplace until May (7 months later) they said no. The absolute worst customer experience I have every experienced without exaggeration.”

“I'D SOONER TRUST A NIGERIAN PRINCE! I'd sooner trust a Nigerian Prince to deliver what they promised. You'll have an easier time buying furniture by putting your head in the fridge and slamming the door again and again, rather than by using this company. I bought a desk back on the 12th of December, delivery due on the 18th. It has been dispatched on time, however they put the wrong postal address on it - which I managed to identify on the day it was supposed to be delivered when (surprise surprise) it didn't show. I put the correct address into the order and Wayfair have had the right address all along - something I also confirmed on the day it should have been delivered. Since the 18th I have repeatedly called Wayfair (around 5 times now) about the problem, and each perfectly lovely customer service agent has 'raised it' but NOTHING HAS HAPPENED/CHANGED. My furniture is STILL HALF WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY, where they are REPEATEDLY trying to deliver it to the wrong address. Additionally, no one seems willing to PICK UP THE PHONE and call the courier. I have contacted the delivery company myself and they can't do anything, they can't even label the package as having the wrong address on it, as I am not the sender (which I understand because a) GDPR and b) security). This is an absolute sham. I payed a lot of money for my desk, which I need before the New Year. I deliberately ordered it well in advance. This is utterly disgraceful service. Such a simple problem that's been identified a long time ago, BY ME, and they still can't do a single thing about it. The only reason this review gets 1 star is because a) I can't go any lower and b) the customer service desk really have been very kind about the whole thing - if apparently useless.”

“I cancelled an order for a couch on Dec 15th. Delivery had been scheduled for December 17th. On Dec 28th I received an email saying it was out for delivery on January 5th. When I called customer service, the agent told me that it couldn’t be cancelled because it had shipped and that they took no responsibility for the return arrangements AND I would be charged a return fee. I told them I had two emails from December 15th saying they were sorry I didn’t like the item. They had ample time to process the order cancellation. Obviously, it had been sitting in their warehouse for two weeks. And then someone decided to ship it out without looking at paperwork. A frustrating and infuriating experience all around.”

“Awful customer experience I ordered quite a few items from wayfair for over 1500$ Some items were good but some were not. Quality sucked and description didn’t match the real item. You can’t tell the quality till you receive the item. When I called them, they said I have to return at my Cost or use their shipping label and they will deduct the shipping cost. I called 3 different times and spoke to different people and they were all blunt. I asked for manager to call me each time but never got a call. They said that they normally ship free shipping so return is customers responsibility and if the item is not as per my expectation then it’s not a quality issue!! I actually found the same items on other online platforms like amazon abs Walmart at cheaper price and free returns! So why buy from Wayfair! I didn’t realize at first but they change the name of the collection so you can’t search other platforms easily for that snd end up paying a high price! But if you can search on the item type and color and description and Google search app, it shows a lot of options and get the best price and wayfair isn’t one of them!! So save your money and time and buy with reassurance by buying from the right places with a leave of mind.”

“One star because 0 stars is not an option. I asked for a sofabed to be returned, this was due to happen on 28th November. Nothing happened. A few days later, when I was away from home on business, instead of picking up the sofabed, another was delivered. So I now have 2 sofabeds (4 bulky boxes in total) cluttering up my Mum's spare bedroom. Wayfair's tracking on their website shows that the items were picked up over a week ago. When challenged about this, they just seem to lie, blame everyone else stick their fingers in their ears and hope you go away. That is not going to happen”

“First of al my account was closed in which I think was the bank that carried all of Wayfair's account payments.???? Secondly I had a balance of only $125.00. I applied for their credit card and was denied???? I took out a loan and paid all of my bills! They now have the guts enough to say I owe $3.28???? I will never ever shop Wayfair again and I will continue to write negative reviews until I receive an explanation, apology and credit for the $3.28?? Sincerely, Mariane Kidman Salt Lake City Ph. 801-792-2324”

“I would suggest you be very careful when ordering from this company. They have absolutely no level of customer service and management are worse. They have a no compensation policy so regardless of how much they mess you around they simply state they will not compensate you and expect you to just accept their poor service. It is important to be aware of this and spread the word about their approach because many people online are being treated terribly by them. It is better off to purchase from a company that actually has appropriate customer service and does not simply overlook their constant failures arrogantly. Also, returning products is very difficult and their delivery is always delayed and when ‘lost’ they have no idea and just keep you waiting. There are many alternatives that actually provide appropriate service and compensate for their mistakes - be careful!”

“Bought a chiminea in september- found a huge crack in it. Thought that ordering a replacement part was suprising easy and staff polite- however after waiting a month for a replacement they sent entirely the wrong part ( despite having been sent clear pictures) Then I've emailed twice and am waiting a further month for the right part to arrive. I have been told twice that I cannot get a full refund depsite the product being rubbish and unuseable.”

“Most unfortunately product arrived in a badly damaged display box (with nil additional protection)! UPS we're very apologetic however root cause was Wayfair insufficient packaging. Will not be purchasing from Wayfair again. Very disappointed.”

“They refuse to cancel an item even if you cancel within 24 hours and the item has not even been shipped. They make you pay for return shipping.”

“Received an email to say my sofa was being delivered. It didn’t turn up on the day specified or the day after. When I called to find out what was going on I was told that my sofa had been “lost in transit”. How can you lose a sofa?? They ordered me another one and then sent me a message to say it was out of stock. Total incompetence.”
