I ordered my couch from the **********, AL location at Ashley furniture in late July and moved into my new apartment on August 7. The couch was ready to be delivered then, but I have class and Ashley furniture refused to give me any scheduling times through the week and said that they come when they come and I dont get to choose when. My class is nonnegotiable because if I get more than 3 absences, I will face school consequences. I cant just take a day to sit and wait for a couch. Then, I waited until August 17 to have it delivered. There was a line going into the gate at my apartment on the day of delivery and delivery men got frustrated and left and stopped taking my calls. My dad called them and they hung up on him as well and refused to take further calls from him. My mom went to the Ashley store that day and they said it would be delivered this Saturday, August 24. My mom called today to ask about the delivery and she was told it was not on the schedule. I am not normally one to complain, but I have been patient and this is outrageous. I have NOTHING TO SIT ON in my apartment. They refuse to deliver the next two Saturdays due to bookings and college game day. They have given me only weekdays to choose from, which as I previously said, I am living alone and have class on those days, so I cannot be there. The earliest Saturday they have given is September 14, more than A MONTH after it was ready for delivery. Now, I am going to have to go to lengths to find someone who doesnt prioritize their school or job to come see this delivery through in my place. This is seriously an enormous failure and I would like an apology and some kind of effective remedy. I have completely derailed my schedule for this delivery two weekends in a row now.Business response

Good Morning,

If you email me directly at ***************************************** we could look into finding a delivery time window suitable to your schedule!

On 05/10/2024 I went into the Ashley Home Store at ********************************************** and spoke with ************************* (sales associate). I did purchase furniture in the amount of $15,605.31 through the Ashley credit program with TD retail (I have included the original sales order). The agreement with TD retail is that within 45 days of opening the account the account will be closed and I will not be responsible for any fees or charges on the account. I have attached the TD credit agreement. I closed the account on 06/16/2024 and paid a balance on 06/17/2024 for $1028.96 (I have attached the Payment Confirmation). The payment confirmation reflects the current balance of $1028.96. I just received a bill from Ashley Home Store in the amount of $1314.78 and I did not authorize this charge. I called the store in ********** directly and they tell me this is a "restock fee". I never received the furniture, it never left the warehouse and in accordance with my TD retail agreement I have no further responsibility to Ashley once I cancel my TD Retail card except to return or pay for items received. I paid the $1028.96 for sheets and pillows I received on 05/10/2024. I was told by TD retail my account was closed on 06/16/2024 and in spite of me closing the account ********************** went back and fraudulently placed charges on this closed account and dated it for June 19, 2024. Ashley never had permission to charge this closed TD account.Business response

Good Afternoon,
Attached is a copy of the Terms and Conditions that were signed at the point of purchase. Any cancellations made outside of the three day grace ****** is subject to a 10% restocking fee due to the merchandise being ordered for the sales order. We do apologize for the frustrations but since the order was cancelled outside of the three day grace ******, fees will be applied. If you would like to pay the fees through a different payment method, our store can assist you with setting that up but since the order was financed through TD the fees were charged to that account.

I am rejecting this response because: The Ashley Homestore actively promoted the TD financing option the day I made my purchase. It is clear that in the TD agreement that I would have the option to cancel within a 45 day period from the day of sale. The way the financing is set up is by a phone call by way of the store associate and the manager in the building as I was never given the opportunity to review the finance agreement that I have attached. Within a weeks time I received in the mail in writing changes in the finance agreement even before I received the initial agreement. I rejected the terms of the agreement with TD that allows me 45 days without penalty to cancel my order. It is clear that Ashley Home Store and TD have a working relationship with each other and I am surprised that Ashley is not acknowledging this 45 day period that allows me to cancel without penalty. The only acceptable outcome for me in this situation is that Ashley acknowledge the legal agreement with TD that allows me to cancel the order without penalty.
Sincerely,
***********************Customer response

Yes. The financing was secured over the phone and I never saw the terms agreement. ALSO, after I closed the TD account someone from ********************** added charges on to it. I have never seen where a company can charge on a customers closed account without permission from the customer. I never spoke to a TD finance person as the office in the store did all the talking on then phone and I never spoke to any TD person on then phonier in person. If I allow Ashley to charge on my closed account I am afraid I will end up with false charges for years to come.Customer response
07/24/2024
The financing was secured over the phone by the sales associate and I never spoke to a TD finance person. Ashley has placed charges on the account that I closed without my permission. I have never had a company allow themselves to place charges on my credit card without my permission. This leaves me open for Ashley to charge whatever they want *** my credit card. I want these charges removed from closed TD account.Customer response
07/24/2024
I was given TD financing g over the phone but the sales rep spoke with TD not me. He just told me the credit line was approved. I rejected the terms of the agreement once I received the terms in writing. My account with TD was closed by me an d then someone form Ashley reopened this account and added charges to it without my permission. I have never had a credit account where a company can allow themselves permission to charge on it. This charge needs to be reversed immediately and without further delay.Business response
07/24/2024
If you wish to pay for your cancellations fees through another form of payment, your local Ashley store can facilitate that for you. Once the cancellations fees have been paid for through that other form of payment, the charges could be removed from your account.Customer response
07/26/2024
Complaint: 22018885
I am rejecting this response because: I have spoken with TD finance and it is illegal to place charges on a credit account unless you are the owner on that account. Also the Huntsville store told me that there were no penalties as long as I had not received the furniture. I do not owe Ashley any money as I have not received any merchandise and in accordance with the agreement I do not owe Ashley the alleged "penalty fees". I was never given the opportunity to review the TD terms agreement in store and this entire transaction has been falsified by Ashley.
Sincerely,
***********************Customer response

Here is the notice from ******* NA that my account was closed out on 6/17/2024. It is illegal for a company to post charges on a closed account and without my permission. My credit line was for furniture only and I never received any furniture and paid for the sheets and pillows I did receive. In accordance with my ******* NA agreement and this is the bank that Ashley supports and does business with I had 45 days to close the account without penalty. It is very strange that Ashley has an agreement with ******* NA that they are not willing to support the policy.Business response
07/31/2024
The TD account is closed to new transactions but the cancellation fees are in regard to your original contract for the purchase that was cancelled. Our terms and conditions do include a cancellation fee if cancelled after 72 hours due to this merchandise being ordered to our warehouse to fulfill your sale. If you wish to use an alternative payment method for the fees so you are not paying them through your financing, we could have this set up for you. If you would like to look at making a new purchase and using the cancellation fees charged on your TD account towards a new purchase we could also look into having this set up for you. Please advise on how you wish to proceed.Customer response
08/03/2024
Complaint: 22018885
I am rejecting this response because: The terms of the purchase with Ashley were 100% based on financing with ******* NA. ******* NA has a clause that allows purchases with Ashley a 45 day period of no fault return. Since I never received the furniture and paid for pillows and sheets I did receive I have no further obligation to Ashley. Ashley cannot have it both ways. Ashley obviously has an agreement with ******* NA and they fully understand the agreement and the 45 day clause of no fee return. No fee means no fee.

Ordered a purple mattress with adjustable base and was told that we could exchange for two mattresses that make up a king ** with 2 bases for about $400 if we were not satisfied. Sales person continued to emphasize this until store manager provided a quote of over $ *****. We had already spent double this on our initial purchase. When Ashley delivered the mattress the 2 installers did not know how to install with our Ashley bed with storage drawers in the end. This was the major reason we chose Ashley for the mattress purchase. One of the installers got mad and during the install ripped the mattress cover while being very unprofessional and rude. Sales person said they would deliver another mattress and a kit to fit the storage bed within 2 days. Ashley customer care sent a new mattress cover only with no solution for the adjustable frame interfering with the drawers. Several other commitments from the sales person were not allowed or honored so here we are with a torn mattress cover and no solution for the drawers. I cannot change the cover due to a lower back issue so we are having to live with an unacceptable solution. Store manager was very rude in her approach and now the store has cut-off all communications with us and ************* is not helping. The sales person was very dishonest with us during the entire process.Update February 4, ****, we still have no resolution to our problem and the nice lady that was helping us will now not respond to texts or calls. Our mattress was delivered on 8/29/2023 with immediate problems and 6 months later no resolution and another round of broken promises. I am transmitting this review as one last and desperate attempt to have Ashley Furniture ********** ******* take ownership and fix their failed customer service and inattention to our issues.Initial Complaint

We purchased our sectional sofa from Ashley on 8/15/2020 along with their 5 year Platinum Plus warranty, which meant that if any stain, tear or rip happened in the first five years of purchase, Ashley would replace either a portion of or the entire sofa. In January of 2023 we noticed a tear and started the process of filing a claim. The local store said they could not help us and gave us information about who to contact. Trying to contact anyone within 5 ************ (warranty company) was next to impossible but we finally got the information we needed which was to file the claim online. We started to fill out the online form only to read that the requirements to file included very specific pictures of the tear from various distances from the sofa. Because the sofa is in our rental cabin, it took some time for us to get there (because we had guests and it is over an hour away), get the appropriate pictures and file the formal warranty claim. That claim was officially filed on July 21, 2023. After hearing nothing for well over two months and seeing that there was a claim number and assigned to a specific rep, I called, was put on hold for 15 minutes only to be transferred to a voicemail. This happened countless times. I was never able to talk to a representative, was always transferred to voicemail which I left one each and every time and never heard back from anyone. After months of frustration, we went back to the local Ashley store to talk to our original sales ******** was nice enough to call some of his Ashley contacts only to call back (after he waited for responses for over two weeks) and let us know that Ashley declined out claim because it took too long for us to file the claim from the time we noticed the tear. This is simply ridiculous. We paid $250 for this extended warranty and had every assurance that the claim would be honored. At the very least, we want our $250 back. We feel cheated and completely taken advantage of.Business response

Complaint: 21211407
I am rejecting this response because:
the extended warranty specified that a portion or a full replacement of the sofa was expected if there was a stain, tear, or damage. Ashley cannot replace the section that has damage so we believe at the very least, we need our extended warranty refunded.

Good Morning,
The mattresses delivered were the mattresses that were selected the day of the sale and verified by the customer's initials. To reselect to different mattresses, a 10% restocking fee and a redelivery fee would be required as our reselection policy states in our terms and conditions. I do apologize for any and all inconveniences but our reselection process does require fees as the mattresses are no longer sellable.

6/27/23 my husband and I visited the store and ordered a Purple Restore Premier ******************** delivered on 7/26, we allowed it to expand as directed and started using it on 7/27. After one week, our backs were hurting so much we called to return it. We were told we needed to sleep on it for 30 days and to call Red Mountain Retails customer care. They told us as well that we needed to sleep on it for 30 days. We had one week during that time that the mattress did not hurt. Then it did and has ever since. We called the store again the third week of September, and the manager **** told us we would have to pay a 10% restocking fee and a delivery fee and had to stay in the brand which we were not willing to do. Our paperwork does not indicate having to stay in that brand, and we were told at the time of order that with purple there would be no restocking fee. I even noted that on my copy of the paperwork. On the phone we argued with ***** false claims, and he then advised we come to the store to see if the floor model felt like ours because if not, then we would be directed to purple for warranty replacement. We went the following Tuesday to do that. Theirs felt almost as soft as our firm mattress which swallows us and has us sinking in the middle. We came back the following Saturday to try others mattresses since **** emailed his area mgr and got approval for us to switch brands. This wasnt prohibited in the paperwork. After trying others there and after having such a bad experience with the store, we just want to return this awful mattress and shop somewhere with more integrity. As an authorized retailer, they should do give a refund in the first 100 nights like Purple would. My husband called **** 10/3 to say come pick up the mattress, we pay restocking fee, refund us. ***** called him today to say that request was denied. We financed in house with Red Mountain . We owe ****. We want that refunded. We want the *************. We will pay a restocking fee.Business response

We are also willing to allow you to reselect to a different brand as long as its equal or greater in priicing and you will be responsible for those price differences and fees .

I am rejecting this response because:
It is unacceptable that the only option being given to us is to spend more money with a company who isnt willing to treat us fairly and isnt willing to give the same terms that the mattress Brands offer direct. So, if by some awful chance we upgraded, paid more money to this terrible business, and had an unlivable mattress again, then what?? We are with told no, sorry, you only get one swap or two, you can swap for equal or greater and pay a 10% restocking fee? The terms are terrible and if we are going to be spending 3 to 4 thousand dollars on a mattress, which Ashley is NOT selling them cheaper than anyone else, so why would we get less of a warranty or trial period for the same amount of money? I have cried of exhaustion so many times this week! This is so wrong! I just want to be able to go buy a mattress from someone who actually backs what they are selling. And I want to be able to SLEEP! I hate I ever bought this mattress because it is NOTHING it is advertised to be, but I hate even more I bought it from Red Mountains Ashley ********** location because at least Purple would be refunding me. Just take this awful thing and refund the difference!
Sincerely,
*************************Customer response
10/06/2023
One major issue here is that if we go with the unacceptable option of swapping, paying a delivery fee, paying a restocking fee, and paying more to get the mattress we want, there is not comfort guarantee or recourse for problems after the first swap. So, at that point, we will be have **** plus 350 plus 100 plus let's say a 900 plus tax difference to upgrade from the **** to a **** mattress, and you are looking at us being $5000 invested with no accountability by the retailer from that point on. How is that ethical? Who at Red Mountain Retail or anywhere wants to get that kind of deal or service? Everyone should be made CLEARLY aware. If this isn't resolved, I'll let the in house financing go to collections. My credit score is excellent and will rebound from a single issue (that I will definitely attempt to dispute since I absolutely did not get what i paid for, a firm, quality mattress).
Business response
10/17/2023
As stated in our Terms and Conditions, we do not allow returns on mattresses. The comfort guarantee that was signed after making the purchase outlines the policy on any comfort issues with a mattress. This does include a restocking fee and a redelivery fee. We will allow a reselection to a mattress of a different brand so that you have more options to find a mattress that better suits your needs. If you would like to purchase another comfort guarantee with your new mattress that is an option as well.
Customer response
10/17/2023
Complaint: 20697358
I am rejecting this response because: this new mention about purchasing a comfort guarantee for an exchange is quite literally too little (or too much, too much expense), too late. Its a terrible and unacceptable offer, and it hasnt even been mentioned as an option before now. All we were told by the store was that there is no comfort guarantee once the mattress is swapped. Anyone should be able to understand that being this financially invested with no guarantee by a retailer, much less additionally invested due to the equal or greater value clause, the restocking fee, the delivery fee, it would definitely not be in any consumers best interest to continue to do business with that retailer. As such, we are not. The fact that my husband and I have had so many painful, restless nights because this wasnt made right is inexcusable and solidifies that we cannot do business with Ashley or Red Mountain. Offering to add to our expenses now, after all this time, by selling us a guarantee which should absolutely have been GIVEN and communicated in discussions about an exchange (and it was not) is why you owe us the return. Just know that I will write every one I can, in your business, in Purple, and on every social media platform as well as face to face with every person i can get to listen, until I get proper resolution on this. The only proper resolution is to accept that we dont want to be your customer and that I will not be paying Red Mountain another ***** other than what I have offered, the money paid so far and a restocking fee. The rest of my balance needs to be cleared, and your people need to get this terrible mattress. Or, we can even drop it off at your store!

We purchased the item listed on the receipt and purchased the product protection service. At the time of purchase we were informed that IF we did not use the service that the money would be refunded to us. I have contacted the store to start that transaction and was told that no monies would be refunded however we would be issued a store credit. We were not told that. We purchased the bed when we were putting the house on the market to sale and we would be relocating to ***** ( husband retired) so there is no way that I would have purchased the agreement knowing that we would no longer be living in ********** **. The credit as I told by ****, is only usable in the ********** store. This is deception. But I was told that there was nothing they could do as it has been there policy since ****? I do not know the salespersons name as if was 5 years ago which is the time frame that you have to wait to be refunded. I believe that we were deceived as a means of getting us to purchase the product. When I did call in to use the service for a problem with the bed, I was told that it only covered fabric cleaning. This is a rip off.Business response

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me if they will confirm that an Ashley store located in my area, ****** or ************ **, will accept the credit. We do not have any ties to ******* or the ********** area to make a special trip to use a credit. And furthermore I do not see on MY receipt that the credit has to used on a purchase of ****** or more. After speaking with a person via phone previously, I understood that it was credit to be used in store but nothing was mentioned about the amount of purchase that has to be made.

On 5/28/18, purchased $2567.47 of furniture from Ashley Furniture on **** **********************, **********, **. This purchase included a 5-year premium warranty. The salesman informed us if we didn't use contract for 5 years the full price ($199.99.) of the warranty can be used as store credit. Prior to purchasing, we asked if there was a minimum purchase, we had to make to use store credit and were advised, "You can purchase something for the contract price only if you choose. We recently went to Ashley to take advantage of this and were told by the salesperson and the store manager, **** that we had to spend $999.00, then were told $799.00 to use our credit. This is a breach of contract and trust. We would appreciate if you would assist in resolving this issue. Thank you.Business response

We do apologize that you feel the contract has been breached due to conflicting information. I have attached a copy of the purchase history for the original sale. The line item does state next to *PLATPLUS that the 5 year credit can be used towards a $799 + purchase. This line item would have printed on your original Ashley paperwork at the time of the sale.
