“The people in the Wayfair Commercial who dance through life as their homes are magically redecorated would sing a different tune if they had in fact ever attempted to purchase one of the so-called "amazing deals" from Wayfair or her sister companies including Joss and Main. For six months, since I first attempted to purchase one of the "amazing sale priced items" from Wayfair only to be told the item, "at that sale price was out of stock but we do have some at the higher (more than 6 x's the "amazing sale price") price," I have been trying to purchase one of the "amazing priced sale items." Each time I am told the same thing, "the last one at that price was just sold can I help you with one at another price level, or maybe another product." After each attempted purchase I did a daily check and there was the product still listed the "amazing sale price." The Supervisors (yes plural) I spoke with over the next weeks --as they continued to advertise the product at the "amazing sale price" as being available--all told me the same thing "the one at that price just sold a few minutes ago and the computer hasn't reset available stock yet." Even, I know that even computers take a few minutes to update---But 12 days? That was the shortest amount of time between when I attempted to make a purchase and the time the item was no longer advertised as being available at the "amazing sale price." Stock Changes didn't take that long to make when they had to go in the mail by Stagecoach to Dodge City. I've given Wayfair a second chance, a third chance... Actually, along with my band of merry Social Media "Assistants," we are up to about 400 extra chances. NOT ONE of these has resulted in the purchase of a product at the "amazing sale price" advertised on the Wayfair, or her sister Joss and Main Website. If you went into a store and there was a sign that said a coat was $50 and when you went to buy the coat you were told that there was actually only one coat for $50 coat and that that one had been sold. “I’m sorry, the sign just wasn't taken down... " The store would be obligated to sell you the coat for $50 or face a Bait and Switch Complaint. Why are these Online Mega Stores not held to some similar standard? As a disabled person, I utilize online shopping for many things. Being able to order cleaning supplies and have them shipped to the house, gifts. I even order groceries online so my husband merely has to go over to the store and the groceries are ready to be packed into the car, makes our lives much more manageable. It takes a lot of pressure off him--my Caregiver, and you would be shocked at how much money we save. However, for Online Shopping to work, we must be able to trust that when a product is advertised, especially day after day, as being for sale at a certain "amazing sale price," it is actually available for sale at that price. So, if you try to buy something from Wayfair and her sister companies including Joss and Main, only to be told that the "last one at that price was just sold ...I'm so sorry but let's see what else we have that might meet your needs..." Don't hesitate.... Run... As for my purchase. Well, I found a sofa on Amazon tonight at a "truly amazing low price." As usual, and as it should be with any online store, I simply added it to my cart and paid the bill. It will be delivered in 3 days. BTW I saved 75% off the price at the Ashley Furniture Store.”

“This company appears to be unable to deliver the items they claim to have in stock. Very complicated, amateur customer service. Avoid!”

“Large choice of furniture in a variety of styles. Prices seem a bit high in comparison to other websites offering the same products - certaonly worth searching the Web for the same product. Lack of description (materials) and additional images, especially when looking for furniture is annoying.”

“Advised of delivery slot 08:00 to 10:00. Driver advised would be there within half an hour at 10:30 as was running late. Very surly on the phone. I had to take longer off from work than planned as delivery running late.... Then received a text at 11:30 saying delivery had not been possible. Phoned up immediately and was told driver had rang door bell and had knocked. Door bell doesn't work. Didn't knock at all or call. I have a dog that goes crazy when ANYONE comes to the door, so i know the driver did not attempt to deliver, merely took a photo or such like and then moved on so he could make time up. Driver had my number as had called earlier. Any sensible person would have called if they weren't getting an answer. Was told by delivery company that driver coukdn't turn back as was in a different area. Disgraceful delivery service. Do not recommend using Wayfair due to this. Shame really, i'm furnishing my daughter's flat and would have been buying A LOT of stuff from them, but not now.”

“Screwed up my order, sold me stuff that wasn't in stock, hadn't even shipped anything well after the date it was supposed to have ARRIVED, and assigned me a "quote manager" that never did anything and I couldn't even get a hold of. Never ordering from here again.”

“For weeks I am running after my refund, endless numerous emails and the customer service do not pocess the courtesy to reply to any of my complaints. The Service is more than poor to simply disregard that a refund is owed to me is just simply ignorant. That I will never order again from them goes without saying. I am contemplating involving the ombudsman to get my money back, but I am simply appalled that my correspondence wont even be acknowledged. Just another scam online company.”

“Messed up my order and sent a bar stool instead of a chaise lounge. Told me my delivery would be here yesterday, took the day off work, waited all day still no order! Was promised it would arrive before 7pm still hadn't arrived and customer services was closed! Horrendous service! Second time I've ordered and it's the second time things have gone wrong!”

“Upon reading other reviews here I am even less impressed by Wayfair than I originally was. I have requested 3 returns, I was told I would receive a separate email with further details on how to send the package, for each of the return requests, I have not received a single email so I am still unable to return the items. I then emailed their customer service helpline and have not had any response over a week later. I assume they make it incredibly difficult to return items so they do not have to refund your money. Sneaky tactics. I will not spend any more of my money at Wayfair. I will advise all my friends/family not to risk using Wayfair either.”

“I went onto the website and ordered as described at 12foot 5 ins Christmas tree. The delivery was prompt and efficient thank you! However it was a different story when I opened it with my children huge disappointment and many tears; The tree was I guarantee no more than 4foot! 😤 I have sent 4 emails to Wayfair to request a collection and refund no reply as of yet!”

“I ordered bunk beds and mattresses to go with it. The mattresses arrived ahead of schedule. Great. The bunk beds simply did not appear. It was only when I phoned them they told me they were out of stock. It would have been polite to contact me to let me know, rather than just do nothing. When I actually spoke to their staff they were very helpful and polite. The bed eventually arrived 2 weeks later without problem. I would use Wayfair again, but just make sure YOU keep a close on the order tracking.”

“I ordered two different wall mirrors, one arrived fine but the other had black pitted marks all over like it was very old, they replaced it but never picked up the first, the second mirror arrived but was worse than the first, I asked for a refund and to have the mirrors picked up and sent back, they asked if I could dispose of them myself, I told them no they were too big to go in my car, arranged with UPS to pick them up, UPS arrived but never knocked, just posted paperwork and ran down my path and was off before I could catch him, phoned UPS who told me they would return the next day, they never came! Phoned Wayfair who were apologetic but in the end told me that I would have to dispose of them myself! So I am left with two very large mirrors and no way of getting rid of them. Will definitely not be using them again.”

“We used Wayfair for the first time recently to purchase a table and chairs set. We were most impressed with their service and the product is very good quality at a very reasonable price. Delivery was prompt.”

“I bough a computer table from Wayfair recently. For nearly £200 I was hoping to get decent quality table. How wrong I was! Laminated panels are cr*p, laminate itself is very thin and have air bubbles under. Bits that looks like stainless steel on the picture - actually are cheap plastic. Hinges slams door against the table when closing them. Not a single good word. Packing was bad as well, external cardboard very thin and panels inside were rubbing against each other in transit. I would never buy from them again and after reading other people reviews - would not recommend it to anyone. Next time I would better go to flat pack store and buy something that I can look and feel before I buy, instead of trusting what was written on the Wayfair website. Also, Wayfair didn't allow to upload my negative review on their website!”

“THIS HAS BEEN THE ABSOLUTE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER ORDERED FROM. My fiancé and I ordered a 6 person sauna, 6 weeks later it came in. We were so excited. I hired a couple of guys to assemble it for us. 30 mins into assembling they realized the instructions were missing, however they kept building. I sat outside with them googling YouTube videos trying to help them make sense of how to assemble this. SIX HOURS LATER, WITH SWEAT POURING OFF OF ALL OF US, THEY CAME TO A HAULT ONLY TO FIND OUT, PIECES WERE MISSING! WOW!!!! We contacted wayfair and also the company the sauna came from, Golden Design in California. Golden Design said there is nothing they could do for us because they only sell to companies such as wayfair, not directly to consumers. We were told by wayfair a replacement sauna would be in on a specific date (4 weeks) and also they will hire a team to come assemble it for us as well so we did not have to pay again for assembly. You guessed it, that didn't happen!!!! There are 6 boxes total. 4 of them were delivered at my house 5 weeks (1 week later than we were told). We contacted wayfair yet again to tell them about the other missing boxes, and there response was, "we have no idea where the missing boxes are, we will let you know as soon as we find something out!" Apparently they reordered the missing boxes because 1 week after (6weeks into the second process) they showed up on our doorstep from Canada. I then reached out to Shane McDonald and asked him when they were going to send guys out to assemble our sauna now that we have all of the pieces. He told us he was having a hard time finding anyone in our area to do so and asked if I could find someone. I did, they were going to charge $500. I emailed Shane this information, and no response for 2 days. I continued to email him and still nothing. I had the guys come to my home to install the second sauna, they started taking the boxes apart. The very last box, leaned up against my wall, was completely destroyed. Being hopeful we opened the box and were appalled at what we saw. As you can see in the pictures, the sauna was completely destroyed. The screw holes were so messed up that screws could not even go into them. There were chunks of wood missing (it looked as though it was stabbed by a fork lift.) The box was so dirty it stained my garage wall, that now needs painted. We looked carefully at the other pieces of wood and found damage to another piece of this sauna. It was cracked all the way down one side. I contacted Golden Design again to let them know what a horrible job Wayfair was doing, hopeful that this time they would be able to help us. Wow was I wrong. Steffen said, "you'll have to contact Wayfair because we are not responsible for any damages." I contacted wayfair again, this time being put on hold because managers were in a meeting. Finally I spoke with a manager. She informed me that I, the customer, would have to contact the delivery company THAT THEY HIRED to get my garage fixed back to its normal state. WOW, I AM SHOCKED THEY DONT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. THIS IS A COMPANY THEY CHOSE TO HIRE TO DELIVER THIS TO ME AND I HAVE TO SPEND MY TIME CONTACTING THEM. Now, 3 months after ordering our sauna, we are without a working sauna, we will never get back the hours we have spent on the phone and sending emails back. We, however, did manage to obtain a messed up wall in our garage and a ton of built up anger. We are currently in the process of getting the disaster in our garage cleaned up and a full refund. SAVE YOURSELF FROM THIS COMPANY. PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU DO NOT WANT THIS HAPPENING TO YOU AS WELL!!!!!!!”
