  I ordered two counter stools that includes a rock hard chair cushion when you sit down. They are so extremely uncomfortable, but yet the description on the Lamps Plus site says that it is comfortable seating. It is just so awful to sit on. One chair never removed from the box. The other chair was only partially removed to try it out. Called Lamps Plus today to start my return process. I was told that I have to pay $220 for the *** fee! That is a 35% return fee that they get to keep off of my total order! That is disgusting! I feel sick to my stomach that I'm basically paying for an item that is sold on their site and is so very unsatisfactory. I feel I am basically being punished for buying from Lamps Plus. I have never experienced this level of frustration and disregard as a customer.

  Hello ********,

  Thank you for your review. 

  I'm very sorry to hear you're beautiful counterstools didn't work out for your needs. New furniture especially those with cushions often feel stiff initially, however they do soften overtime and with use. Generally, this can be resolved by kneading or massaging the cushions to help break them in. I understand your frustations and apologize for this inconvenience. The chairs unfortunately, are not eligible for free returns, however we do offer a discounted return label or you have the option to return using a carrier of your choice. 

  As a one-time exception I have waived the return fees. I canceled the previous return *** and created a new one under R02288585 without fees. Shortly, you will receive a return authorization letter to reflect the updated refund. Upon receipt of the return, your items will be inspected and your refund applied to the original form of payment. An email will be sent when your refund is processed. If you have any questions, please don't feel free to contact me.

  I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Lamps Plus for an ongoing issue that has not only been financially burdensome but has also shown a pattern of unethical business practices. I am dissatisfied with the way this company has handled my transaction, and I am requesting the BBBs assistance in resolving this matter. I purchased a chandelier from Lamps Plus for a total of $3,000. This purchase was only the beginning of a series of problems with the company. Not only was the chandelier delivered late, but every item in my large order was either incorrect or delayed. Despite multiple attempts to address the issue directly,I received no resolution. LP took the chandelier back because it was defective and never replaced it. After several failed attempts to resolve the matter, I took the company to small claims court. I won the case, with the court ruling that Lamps Plus must return my $3,000. However, instead of honoring the court order, they appealed the decision. In a subsequent court hearing, I won once again. Even after this second ruling, they have refused to return my money as ordered by the court.The behavior exhibited by LP, including refusing to comply with court orders and the dishonesty exhibited by their owner, ****** , is unacceptable. ****** has repeatedly lied about the transactions and continues to make false statements about the status of the issue. This is not just a failure to fulfill business obligations; it reflects a pattern of dishonesty and disregard for legal ************** this point, I am left with no choice but to seek further intervention from the Better Business Bureau to hold this company accountable for their actions. I have attached copies of the court rulings and correspondence with the company as evidence of my case.I trust the BBB can help resolve this issue .I look forward to your prompt attention to this complaint. I can be reached at ******************** if further information is required.Thank you consideration.

  Re Order ID: *********************, it was placed on 12/6/24. I requested for a cancellation on 12/10/24. At that point, I was told that it was scheduled to be shipped on 12/13/24. It has neither shipped nor canceled as of 12/16/24. On 12/16/24, I rec'd an email saying that the order would ship on 2/24/25. PLEASE CANCEL THIS ORDER AND ISSUE A REFUND. Calling customer service has been a useless exercise as you can see.

  I ordered a lighting fixture from Lamps Plus that ***** states was delivered on 10/10/24. It was not delivered to my shipping address (my home). I contacted both ***** and Lamps Plus and was told that both launched an investigation. It's now 11 days later, and neither business is giving me any status update. I contacted ***** and the online status shows the case was closed. I contacted Lamps Plus and was told there is still an investigation. THERE IS NOTHING TO INVESTIGATE! ***** delivered my order to the wrong address, and I'm pretty certain their drivers take a photo or have some other way of recording the locations of deliveries. Lamps Plus has now opened another ticket to have someone update me on the status of my order. I paid nearly $500 for a lighting fixture that neither company will provide an update on or resolution. It's not rocket science. The package was not delivered to the correct address.

  Hello *****, thank you for your review. I understand the importance of timely and dependable deliveries, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment this may have caused. I assure you; our team handles all request with urgency and care. ***** marked the order as delivered on 10/10 at 5:32PM. Unfortunately, they did not provide a delivery photo. We opened an investigation on your behalf with the carrier to review and determine the status. These investigations can take between ***** business days to be completed and they have informed us they are behind and apologize for the inconvenience.I have escalated your request and ask that this be expedited. Please note this request is not a guarantee, however we are doing what we can do complete the **************** the meantime, please feel free to dispute the charges on your ****** account. If you would like to place a new order, Im happy to honor the Open Box price for this pendant or offer a discount on a different selection. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me but ONLY because I disputed the charge with ****** due to non-delivery of the merchandise. I do not wish to order another light fixture from Lamps Plus. While I understand their position since ***** has no photographic record of the delivery being made, it's unfair that I paid almost $500 for merchandise that was never delivered and then hear from ***** that the case was closed, making this a lose-lose for me. I need lighting in my home, and now have to make other arrangements. Lamps Plus should use a different carrier for deliveries, or at least give consumers an alternative option.
  
  Sincerely,

  I ordered a Minka ceiling fan Sep 5, I finally received a box Oct 5 with no fan. The box had been opened and re-taped. It only contained the blade irons and the remote. When I contacted Lamps Plus, they give me the run around and blame the vendor. I didn't place my order with their vendor. I placed my order with Lamps Plus, and they should be responsible. They even told me to look under the Styrofoam. There is nothing else in the box and they know it from looking at the shipping weight. It was supposed to qeigh 48 pounds. But only weighed 13 pounds.

  Lamp PLus sold us a fan with a 60 day return guarantee. When we attempted to return the item because the item received was not the same as advertised (color, control option), the business has informed us that a charge for "cut wire fee" will be charged; however, we confirmed that no wires were cut or item was used. This company mislead you saying you have a return guarantee which is not true. They will not allow you to return without a fee even when the situation is not applicable. We did not cut ay wires or altered the product. They say in the website that a minimum of ****************************************************************************** our case. They have misleading practices, terrible customer service and are now charging a veteran of the USA a fee that is incorrect and fraudulent. We demand that the fee is not charged. We simply want to return the item for a full refund. We want the full refund for the item in the amount of USD ******.

  This order shipped 1/1/2024. It was our second order of a specific lighting fixture: # **N02, Possini Euro ***** 25" Black 6-Light Branching Sputnik Ceiling Light. We also ordered light bulbs and a dimmer at the same time. The light bulbs and dimmer were recommended by Lamps Plus.We contracted installation with a local electrician that was recommended by the Lamps Plus ************** store. Since installation, the bulbs have been BUZZING, loudly. We visited the local store several times for help and were not able to resolve the issue. I continued to contact the business afterwards: - 4/20/24 *****, *********** store, opened a support ticket and **** was to contact me. They never did.- 5/3/24, spoke with ******* **** customer service, and opened ticket *******. Was told someone would call me in 2 business days. No one contacted me.- 5/13/24, spoke with ****** in customer service and transferred to ****** in support. He told me there was no way the bulbs could be buzzing and offered no help. I asked for an escalation; he said he created a ticket for someone from management to contact me. No one contacted me.- 5/13/24, I spoke with **** at the ************** store and walked him through all the issues and asked for HELP. He said he would relay everything to *******, the store manager, and ******* would contact me on 5/14. ******* did not contact me on 5/14.- 5/15/24: I called and left a message for ******* to call me. He left me a voice message; **** had not spoken to him nor relayed the issues.- June: I purchased a different dimmer from the Lamps Plus store for nearly $33 and paid again to have the dimmer swapped.We are still having the same issues; the bulbs are buzzing. We need help to resolve or a reimbursement for the light fixture and 2 dimmers plus the money we paid to have the product installed.I am beyond frustrated with the lack of support and responsibility from Lamps Plus.

  Hello *******, thank you for your review and bringing this experience to our attention. I apologize for this inconvenience; I've shared your feedback and request with our management team and escalated it with highest priority. Someone from our management team will reach out to assist you further. One of the most common sources of humming for LED bulbs is the use of dimmer switches. The majority of dimmers are made to handle higher electrical loads.This means that the low-voltage LEDs may dim or hum if they are connected to higher-power dimmer switches. You also need to check the compatibility of your bulb with your dimmer prior to making a purchase. Or, you can opt to replace your dimmer switch with one designed to work with LED bulbs. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at *********************************** please reference your order number LC0101241134300029003.
