“Worst shopping experience in my 42 years of life. Ordered this set of chairs along with a patio table and benches, and a couple days later saw they were listed as out for delivery in California... problem is they're supposed to come to Wisconsin. So I started a chat with Wayfair to let them know something appears wrong. My patio set is out for delivery here in Wisconsin but these chairs are out for delivery in California. It's fine I'm told, they're on their way. Hours later I get my patio set, then get confirmation my chairs were delivered too, with a picture of someone else's house proving it. I reopen a chat and this rep tells me they were delivered to the address on my order, so Wayfair doesn't have to do anything to fix it, they don't have to refund or replace them. Completely unprompted this rep told effectively said whatever, you deal with it, Wayfair doesn't care. I will have to retrieve them myself... in California, from Wisconsin. Of course, I have my order info showing the actual correct address in Wisconsin, where the rest of the order was delivered fine. Had the rep made even the slightest effort to see what happened it'd be clear this was their mistake. End chat because I have a short webchat for work, in customer service myself where this kind of behavior would earn a chat with the company president. After work, reopen chat to get something figured out. New rep, trying to be helpful and doesn't see this as my mistake, but they can't do anything for three days. So the chairs I ordered are confirmed delivered in the wrong state, I was initially treated like my business didn't matter and Wayfair didn't care about fixing this, and ultimately I'll just have to wait a week after ordering before they'll attempt to make things right. This has been a truly terrible experience that could have and should have easily been fixed after I told Wayfair early on that something didn't appear right and they might have fixed it to prevent the mistake, or when I told them things were delivered in the wrong state, or when I once again tried getting help with what I ordered. Zero star experience. Will absolutely recommend everyone I know avoid Wayfair, shop absolutely anywhere else. Fully intend to post this review all over, to hopefully prevent anyone else from the same terrible service.”

“"The customer has ended this conversation." I was shipped faulty goods which were not possible to assemble. I attempted to speak to customer service about the issue and ask for a refund and they could come to collect the item. They simply said drowned out the chat by saying: "The customer has ended this conversation." "The customer has ended this conversation." "The customer has ended this conversation." "The customer has ended this conversation." "The customer has ended this conversation." It was "Kimberly" who was the agent. Really disgraceful behaviour, they have shipped faulty goods and expect customers to simply put up with it.”

“Wayfair has tried to charge unauthorized charges to my credit cards to cards on file. This has happen three different occasions. This last time was months after a purchase. I’m done with this company. Watch your cards carefully.”

“Have ordered quite a few items with Wayfair. Unfortunately, I've had to return two items, and I really dislike the return shipping fees! Will not be using in the future.”

“I have a business account, I am a general contractor, and for my jobs I buy here, or rather I bought, if you have a business it should be easy to return items that for some reason do not work for you. In my case I bought a cooktop for a client, the size is larger than what it is supposed to be, in conclusion it does not fit in the kitchen, it is new, how is it possible that they will not accept your return. I will never shop here again!!!!!”

“I placed an order on 29th May 2024 for dining chairs because it was showing in stock and estimated delivery on 7th June 2024. I checked online today 6th June 2024 for tracking or estimated time for tomorrow, it was now showing estimated delivery on 26th June 2024!! I didn't receive email about the change in order status! So I tried to contact them on online website chat, which still says "Unfortunately your item has been delayed. Your new estimated delivery date is now June 7, 2024. We'll send an update as soon as your item is on its way so you have the most accurate delivery estimate possible." I had no option but to cancel the order as it will be just too late for me to accept the delivery that late! Shockingly, if I go on Wayfair website and look for the same chairs, it is saying estimated delivery of 11th June 2024!! It appears Wayfair is misleading their customers for showing estimated delivery as early as possible, get money first then deliver the stock as and when they want to! When I reported to WhatsApp chat, the customer service "copy & paste" default answer as below: I will make sure our website is updated asap. We are a dropship company and we do work with third party warehouses. We rely on them to ensure that all stock levels shown on site are accurate and up to date. They are supposed to update their inventory levels every 24 hours and I am sorry that this has not happened in this case and you have been left disappointed. Please be advised that when these instances occur they are made a note of and reviewed".”

“Usually I am a big fan of Wayfair- 5 stars but this makes me rethink buying from them. At least don’t bother buying their warranty. Update - Wayfair isn’t responsible for a split system air conditioner I purchase 2022, I purchased the warranty through them for 5 years- parts, labor, full coverage. Year 2 AC stops working. Call Wayfair- then turn me over to insurance co. Send out people to repair. 3 weeks in, they say can’t repair/will replace? Insurance company said it’s too costly to fix- send a check for unit. Now I have $ to purchase a new unit””” but how about $2,000. To install. The insurance company said it wasn’t worth it to them to repair or replace so here’s the money for unit only. How about the money for the left over 3 years of warranty? How about the 2,000. For install. Both Wayfair and their insurance company won’t do a thing. BUYER BEWARE! Forget the insurance don’t spend the $.”

“Absolutely disgusting service from Wayfair and their delivery company XDP. When I placed the order for the bed, I made two phone calls to customer service to check if the bed would be delivered to the 2nd floor of my block. I explained there is no lift here. I was assured each time that the bed would be delivered to my ACTUAL front door. So I arranged a delivery date with XDP the driver delivered 10 boxes to the ground floor and refused to bring them up. He said their are two consignments when I only ordered one bed. The 8 boxes and two mattresses are now blocking the fire escape of my block. I will NEVER, EVER order from Wayfair again. I've already had an engineer from Sureserve Fire and Electrical knock on my door as he is carrying out routine electrical maintenance and he says this is a fire hazard and if not moved it will be reported. DISGUSTING. I have demanded a refund and will be ordering from IKEA. Maybe I will have better luck”

“I ordered a closet organization system and there was a snowstorm when it was supposed to be delivered. Fine, it will be delayed... but then they just stopped all delivery on the order and I had to finally call them to get them to jumpstart the process again. I finally get it and the Styrofoam is all busted up, with tiny pieces stuck to everything - a total mess. Then, there were no assembly instructions in the box: no manufacturer name, no model number, nothing. My only option is to go through Wayfair. They tell me it will be emailed to me in 1-3 hours. The next day, I still don't have them in my inbox. I chat with Wayfair again, tossed around from AI bot to AI bot, just there to placate me, but not give me a straight answer or actually connect me with the manufacturer. Now they say it will take 1-2 business days for instructions, rendering my purchase totally useless for another week, as I wait for the weekend to be over and them to (hopefully) send instructions and then for me to have another free day to set the thing up. Please, end this trend of bots taking over customer service. Everyone hates it. Bring back real people and give them agency to actually help fix the problems!”

“We placed an order for a new dining room table on 22nd March with a delivery date for 16th April. We then received an email on 19th April informing ourselves that spare parts were required and delivery would be pushed to 23rd of April. After no delivery we contacted customer services on 25th and were informed a whole new table needed re ordered and delivery would now be the end of May. Zero communication to inform us of these delays until we chased them up. No offer of compensation for a 2 month wait despite the table being paid in full. Terrible customer service and very unprofessional!!”

“Parts arrived damaged then took more than a month for replacement parts to be sent. Even then only 1 of the 4 replacement parts was sent, so requested a refund, which was dealt with quickly. Ultimately a complete waste of time for everyone involved. Now need to dispose of the junk parts!”

“Kristine only can do what wayfair allows, her patience was great but however The Tech wayfair sent to our home was very unprofessional _ arrogant & disrespectful & refused to carry the boxes to our bedrooms, knowing we were disabled, we order the white glove service, which they charged us twice for the bed installation, but yet the tech they had sent made it very clear rudely that, taking boxes to the rooms is not his responsibility. Heartless! How else can you serve those who are elderly & disbledwhen it comes to this white glove service, something so simple, he wouldn't do. Wayfair did nothing to compensate our frustrations as disabled veterans at all, they just rescheduled us 2 days later, and told us to call them before tech arrives, and they'll tell the tech to move boxes to location. How inconvenient! We spent 1017.00 for a complete horrible and heartless experience. Shame on wayfair and this particular tech.”

“This is possibly the worst customer service ever not received. I placed an order yesterday night, called in the morning to change the address. They couldn't. I was advised it was best to cancel the order and re-order with the address I wanted. I looked aorund and found a better option on Amazon so I asked Wayfair to cancel the order, but they cannot do that because despite the order due for delivery in 8 days, the label has been printed and nothing can be done, as per their terms, which is simply ludicrous. I therefore have to wait for the order I don't want to be delivered to it can be sent back and my money refunded. All in all, three weeks for something that should take a few moments and would save everyone so much time and effort. Incredibly low level of service. It's like daylight robbery, a fraud.”
