Absolutely horrendous buying experience. Order a unit, it arrived....no instructions or fittings...waited 4 more weeks on fittings, they arrived so started to build only to realise drawers had no bottoms and unit had no back...initially ordered in January won't get replacement until May...very angry to say the least. Will never order from Wayfair again...all their managers would say was we understand your frustration. They should offer a good will gesture at least...awful company

Good for the money. We needed a shallow sofa for the end of our kitchen. To be honest it's more for the dogs than us. Ordered on Thursday was delivered on Friday the next day.

Put an order through on clear pay for 2 rugs; all confirmed their side and first payment was taken out…then low and behold Wayfairs website freezes, after attempting to refresh I came off of the website having returned to find that the order had not been placed and my money is in limbo! Having attempted to Re-order through Klarna/clear pay they are now telling me my credit profile isn’t good enough! Thanks very much wayfair!!! I’ve now got no rugs and cannot use clear pay to re-order them because of your terrible website! Having attempted to ring customer service it ultimately was like talking to a brick wall!

Ordered a table off Wayfair, was initially happy but realised the packaging was from another company. Google that product and realise it's a like for like table at half the price. Customer service advise to dismantle the table and ship back at own cost, so a £50 courier fee for their duplicity and false advertising? Absolute shambles

My bad experience was more with the courier than Wayfaiur but theie response was note very helpful either. I purchase a wardrobe and the website said delivery from 25th March onwards, which gave me time to decorate and get my carpet laid. ON 9th March the wardrobe (flatpacked) was dumped outside my house. I am away from house until 16th March. I was not given a delivry date by the courier and now this wardrtobe has to sit outside my house (with rain forecast) until i am back on 16th. Wayfair's reply was they will look into it but as an internal process there will be no follow up for me. I will never use them again and I don't normally takje any notice of bad reviews, but i felt people had to know about this poor delivery and bad customer service.

I have literally spent thousands on this site only to have to deal with a lady that has been rude, disrespectful, and no help. I got my SECOND recliner with a 12” cut on the Foot rest. Now having to send back my second recliner she offers 10% off a third and a link to their recliners. Like I am ever going to buy from them again. I’m canceling what I can but they are giving me a hard time trying to return other things. Do not buy from these people. The customer service is horrible. These are the 2 holes in our recliner

I ordered a sofa that was delivered quickly but not to a room of choice as stated, courier said they only do doorstep delivery but as it was pouring down and I was on my own they put it in the garage. I got help bringing it into the house the next day and photographed the opening of parcel as packaging was damaged. It was obvious that another item had been stored on top of this as sofa arm had a dent in it from the foot of a heavy furniture piece rest on it for some length of time. I reported it straight away sending photos and videos of the damage but Wayfair said the depot and courier refuse to accept responsibility for the damage so I’m stuck with it. Have been very happy in the past but will not order again

Beware when placing an order with Wayfair! Rarely will you receive what was pictured or described. They sell below par quality items at the highest prices. Customer service is horrible, they call the shots and you are at there mercy. They do not stand by their products or customers. Horrible company!

Bought a bath mat on Wayfair for $100. It arrived in the mail and isn't even worth $20. Cheap, inferior product. I applied for a return and they are attempting to charge for returned shipping. Their advertisement clearly states free shipping. Nowhere on the advertisement does it list a disclaimer on shipping via an asterisk or a hyperlink that refers the customer to another page. Talked to Will in customer service to complain. He talked to his manager and he or she refused to waive the shipping. So, I filed a BBB report and two other reports with my state AG and another with MA where they are located. And I've needed to dispute the item with American Express. Their customer advocacyteam has already refused to refund the shipping. They state the return shipping is listed on their return page. Uh, no. That isn't how you properly disclose shipping costs. If the item was not free shipping, the webpage for the item should not have stated it was free. This implies both ways. As stated before, there is no disclaimer or hyperlink referring the customer to their shipping page to divulge that return shipping is charged. This is the second problem I've had with Wayfair since July. The prior was on a vanity that they didn't deliver properly 4x. The way they handled the vanity also violated the FTC's mail merchandise rule. Here is the link: https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/business-guide-ftcs-mail-internet-or-telephone-order. In the end, they ended up having to give me about a 20% discount on the vanity because of how they handled the deliveries. Won't be ordering from Wayfair again. They've lost thousands of dollars of future business from us because of this transaction.

Everything went wrong. Bad customer service ND price discrimination. I cancelled an order within an hour online. But then received a message that they could not cancel it. This is complete lie! What company processes orders immediately? Plus they didn't even ship put the picture I ordered and cancelled on Nov 30. It is Now Dec 6th. They have different discounts on the US and Canadian site for exactly the same product be benefitting Americans. This is price discrimination and I filed an official complaint under the Competition Act. Sticking to Amazon!!

I bought a table and chairs. They look exactly the same as the picture. Easy to set up. There was some delays with the delivery and I was being messed about arranged time off work and wasn't told that it wouldn't be delivered on that day. I was intouch with them all day to fund out where it was. It was around 5pm before I was advised it wasn't coming. Apart from that I love my table and chairs I also bought the lights over the tablevfrom wayfair and I'm very happy with them too

I purchased two Air mattresses in October 2020. The first one I used had a slow leak. Called wayfair and the mattress is being replaced. A few weeks ago I aired up the second mattress and spotted a small hole in the seam. I called customer service and at first they were going to give me store credit but then I was told in an email I would have to contact the manufacture because it was a few weeks passed the purchased date. The number was not a business and the person who answered hung up on me. Wayfair should replace the mattress. I don't need to contact the manufacturer. That's Wayfair's responsibility. I have spent a lot of money with WAYFAIR and I am so done with them.

I bought a recliner and a sofa from Wayfair in the spring of this year. I’ve never had such POOR ABSOLUTELY AWFUL pieces of furniture in my life. The couch is 5 1/2 months old and all ripping with the springs coming through the middle cushion, tonight I actually fell out of the Recliner and did a 1/2 somersault ending up with the bottom on top of me, the back broke, all the wood in the back was of cheap cheap quality or rotted. It’s not fixable. I could sit here and cry 😢. I usually order from Overstock.com for the last ten years. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY IN THESE HARD TIMES ON THIS SUBSTANDARD POORLY BUILT FURNITURE!

I ordered a bed on Wayfair for a certain price however when I received the order it was only a footboard. When I called to try to resolve it, spoke with Lance the manager, I was told there was an error on the website which priced the bed incorrectly and they wanted me to pay an additional 500+ dollars to get the rest of the bed. Very poor customer service and business practices. The quality of the furniture is not that great to warrant me Paying additional dollars for their mistake. Do not do business with Wayfair. They false advertise

Inadequate, Appalled, Frustrated, Annoyed, Confused…! Words can’t express the disappointment I have for this company! It’s my first time shopping with Wayfair and unfortunately it hasn’t been an experience I would recommend. Order Date 02/06/2021 After paying in full waiting over 6 weeks having parts of my order delivered, contacting WayFair times & time again, apologies to asked to wait and still no result…. Complete Shambles, I have an email telling me it’s a fault an their behalf, and then giving me the customer..! Only two options 1) keep what I have received of my order and have a 15% discount off my original order or store credit.. 2) accept a full refund, and send back little bit of my order I have received. Bearing in mind I have been nothing but Patient… And all I have asked is for the order I made to be full filled… Obviously this still hasn’t happened So both myself & a Member of Staff decided it would be best for the situation to be escalated to Management, giving me some form of contact within 24hours… This was done Tuesday 13th July 1.31pm by call… now it’s Thursday 15th July 7.59pm and still no contact… The whole thing is a sham…..! And yet again it A left to me to contact Wayfair again Tomorrow or better still Trading Standards.

I am disappointed I spent too much money on a sideboard and was missing its legs and screws. The piece is beautiful but it looks awkward without the legs. I inquired about the missing pieces they sent me 4 legs Without hardware . It needs 8 legs. One of the legs was damaged. Legs looked used. Then they said they’d send 5 legs and hardware. I received a confirmation email that they are ordering the parts. They never sent them and I waited awhile. I called again and they only had record of the first set. It’s been over a week, they sent another confirmation that they only just created fed ex label. It shows they requested it day I called Ut stated arrive last week. Tracking shows items have not been picked up by fed ex. They are not even compensating for their mistakes. I’m not sure if I’ll even get these legs. I will never recommend wayfair.

PSA: Do NOT order from WAYFAIR. They charge an exorbitant amount of money if you want to return items. The experience of online shopping is that you generally get free returns since you cannot see the item first-hand until it arrives, unless you already know the exact item you’re getting. It took 3 weeks for them to get my order to me, and now they are charging me a $100 return fee! STAY AWAY FROM WAYFAIR. (I love that their name contradicts their business practices! 😂)

Poor delivery experience. They will damage the item and home in the process. Afterwards they will claim that they told you if they damage your home it's not their fault and they told you prior to moving the item. The delivery company they use do not know how to move furniture, lack proper training, and equipment.

Absolutely awful company. I've made 2 orders and both have been so disasterous that I ended up asking for refunds on them and will refuse to order from this company again, I STRONGLY suggest to anyone who reads this to NEVER USE THIS COMPANY. First order: 6 weeks expected delivery time. Tracking showed it had been returned to sender maybe 3 or 4 weeks in due to "incorrect papers". Delivery date still showing up as expected date, so I wasn't concerned, believed the papers would be sorted and it would be delivered as expected. It was only when I had the first issue with my second order and the staff member in the chat got confused over which order I was talking about that I learned a replacement had NEVER been issued, apparently Wayfair had NO IDEA the product had even been returned to them so they would have just kept my money without informing me. I found this out by pure chance. Made order 2 while waiting for order 1: we received a notification a week + earlier than expected saying our order "would be with us tomorrow". Had to rearrange our plans in order to be in for delivery, clear the space etc. (It was a 4 door wardrobe). Deliverymen turned up, didn't wear masks and decided to LET THEMSELVES IN to one of our locked rooms! Luckily it was the kitchen as I had shut my indoor cat in the bathroom, but if they'd decided to let themselves in there she would have easily gotten out, especially as they left our main door wide open. To be clear, they had been specifically told which room the wardrobe was going in, it had the only open door, we live on a single floor flat so there were no mistakes, and they never asked permission to unlock the door and enter the room. The packaging was torn open on 2 of the boxes, they had clear boot prints on too. One didn't even have padding inside so the bare "wood" was open to scuffs and scrapes. When we attempted to assemble the wardrobe (the instructions are incredibly bad) the whole thing collapsed due to low quality metal supports on the bottom of the wardrobe collapsing in on themselves, which in turn tore the connecting points on the wardrobe and made it unsafe to attempt reassembly. I made a complaint about the delivery men and asked what to do about the wardrobe, as the site offers replacement pieces but I wasn't certain what would need to be replaced and didn't trust the design in the first place. I asked if I could get a refund but was assured a replacement would be fully quality inspected so I agreed to accept a replacement for the whole wardrobe: I asked if the old one would be taken away at the same time as the new one was delivered but was never given an answer. In the meantime I was sent an email asking when I would like my old wardrobe to be collected, but it said I should wrap it in its original packaging. I emailed again to explain I couldn't wrap it as the boxes had already been thrown away (I live in a flat and don't have room to keep them). They told me I could just use plastic bags I told them I had. While I was waiting on email responses asking about the packaging it turned out that they chose a collection date for me, instead of waiting for a response. They were due to collect the day before my partner and I went away for a weekend trip - annoying, but manageable as we were told we just had to wrap the pieces in bags and then someone would collect, simple job and we could get on with our last minute preparations for the upcoming travel etc. The collection day arrives and my partner and I get the largest parts of the wardrobe down the stairs between us to make things go faster (and after the previous experience of men letting themselves into our locked room we didn't want them in our home). The men arrive to collect and don't introduce themselves, just immediately start ranting that they'd tried to phone me a few times - to which I explained I'd been busy all morning (my phone was on Do Not Disturb and I hadn't had a chance to check it so didn't realise). One of the guys went "BUSY?!" and raised his eyebrows like I'd sworn at him! Note, at this point our small doorway at the bottom of the stairs which lead to our front door was full of large wardrobe pieces, they were ready to be picked up but were hazardous if someone would be coming and going. These guys decided they wanted to pile into our home regardless to see what other pieces there were (when I was offering to just bring them downstairs as they were smaller) or they could have just asked how many there were. They just pushed in and came upstairs anyway, ranting about not having enough labels. The guy said he would have to get his supervisor on the phone so they went off to call someone, while I brought up the email evidence I'd been given with packing advice on my phone. They came back in and handed the phone to my partner, it was on speakerphone and I clearly heard the person on the other end say they wanted "evidence from Wayfair that (they) could take the wardrobe as it is". I showed the email to the guy who was collecting (who was casually leaning against our wall like he owned the place and had also lowered his mask) and he just rolled his eyes at me. I explained it was evidence to the guy on the phone, I had very clear evidence IN MY HAND and they still refused to take it. So my partner and I were left with a heavy wardrobe blocking our stairway and only fire exit, a day before we were due to go away for the weekend. I immediately went to the online chat to raise a complaint. The person on the other end apologised, said they were raising it as an "urgent issue" and that it would be sorted by the next day. I explained my partner and I had already struggled to get the heavy stuff down the stairs and couldn't carry it back up, and that we wouldn't be available for the weekend, so said I would have to leave everything outside, to which the staff member replied that was perfectly ok and we would just have to leave a note "for Wayfair collection" (which I did). We were expecting the pieces to be removed the next day, but they weren't, which caused not just a trip hazard for people (such as postmen) but also a firehazard for adjoining buildings and an eyesore for the business below us. We received an email on Saturday asking us to provide dimensions and amount of packages, to which I immediately made clear I could not provide as WE WEREN'T THERE. Why they couldn't get that info off the guys who were meant to collect, or their own website, I do not know. We were just told to leave it out, someone would be sent to collect and dispose of the faulty product. The email response, a few hours later, asked me THE EXACT SAME QUESTION. I again responded with the same, at this point they were already ruining our weekend as we were worried about the business downstairs and clearly getting nowhere with this purely shambolic company. We've only recently moved in and don't want to be leaving junk piled outside! I messaged AGAIN to say as much, telling them they would have to sort it out immediately as we had already been promised it would be sorted by Saturday! They asked for the dimensions and amount of packages again. We arrived home today to find they're all still piled outside. This company is a disgrace. DO NOT USE IT, TELL ALL YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, NEIGHBOURS, ENEMIES...EVERYONE...DO. NOT. USE. THIS. COMPANY. Horrendous.
