  We ordered a ****** Valley Lighting Fixture 4934 (order ********) on January 3, 2025, that had an advertised ship date of 1/6/25. The item cost $1,450, with tax and shipping. We subsequently received a notice that the item was backordered until 1/20. We then received a notice on 2/21/25 that the item was backordered until 1/25. We then received a notice on 2/24/25 at 10pm that the item is now backordered until March 5. We promptly called the next morning to cancel the item because of the delay and uncertainty. We were told we would receive an email regarding our request and that you would also reach out to the vendor. We did not receive an email. We followed up on 2/26/25 with an email requesting the status of the cancellation. We did not receive a response.

  Business Response

  Date: 02/27/2025

  Thank you for reaching out to Ferguson Home. We apologize for any inconvenience this back order may have caused. We work hard to provide accurate shipping information with our vendors, but sometimes back orders can occur. We do our best to communicate all updates in shipping timelines as soon as the vendor makes us aware. We do show that you spoke with a Build.com customer service associate this morning, and they put in a cancel request with *******************. Once that vendor confirms they haven't shipped your lighting early, they will confirm the cancellation, and you will be refunded for that product in full.

   

  Thank you,

  Ferguson Home

  I am rejecting this response because Ferguson has an obligation to cancel the order. At the time of purchase, the item was falsely advertised on Fergusons website as being in stock and available to ship, with language suggesting it was leaving Fergusons warehouse (not a vendors). Ferguson has an obligation to ensure its advertising is not false, misleading or deceptive. To the extent it is, and it was in this case, they are obligated to cancel the order and refund the money it has held now for almost two months. Further, Ferguson cannot stand behind an open-ended inquiry to a vendor who has now delayed shipment  three times, and almost two months. Ferguson needs to cancel the order. A complaint will also be filed with the state for false and deceptive advertising.

  Date: 02/28/2025

  Thank you for your response. We are working on getting this cancelled. As we stated in prior communications, we do reach out to our vendors to confirm they haven't already shipped any backordered item as occasionally their lead times are incorrect. Once confirmed, which typically only takes 1-2 business days, we refund the item in full on our end. The associate you worked with previously has already entered your refund as well, so that should be posting back to your card used at time of purchase. 

  We appreciate your patience while we resolve this matter.

  I purchased a ***** ****** vanity from Ferguson. ***** ****** is a wholesaler only, does not sell to individual customers.Less than a year of my purchase, one of my drawers cracked. I contacted ***** ****** first (Fergusons warranty for the vanity is 90 days). I spoke with ********* in Customer Support at ***** ******. He offered to send me a face panel for for my drawer instead of the already assembled drawer. He informed me the manufacturing department does not have assembled drawers, only face panels. (yet, my entire vanity came assembled). This happened 3 tines, with each face panel I received being cracked, chipped, or marred. I again, requested an assembled drawer in new condition sent to me. ********* directed me to his supervisor *********, who then directed me back to Ferguson.I left serval messages **************** for **** ******* at Ferguson, who he was the one who sold me the vanity. **** never responded. I was directed to a supervisor in Customer Support at ********************** *******. After explaining my situation to ******* & having photos of the damaged replacement panels from ***** ******, along with another drawer getting stuck, not closing, I requested to have my vanity replaced. It appears this vanity has manufacturing flaws, a lemon, if you will, so ******* agreed they would send me a replacement vanity, but would not cover any of the labor costs.I already paid labor costs with my initial installation, and since this was a lemon vanity, I should not be responsible for any additional costs. ******* said that was their policy & would not budge, directing me back to ***** ******, as she did not know what their policy was.I was now caught in a web between manufacturer and seller, with no one willing to accept responsibility for the poorly made vanity sold to me by ************************* concern was escalated to another Customer Support Lead, **** ***** in **. She supported ******* & would not allow for labor costs to be covered under these circumstances.

  Thank you for reaching out to Build with Ferguson.

  As per the discussions held during your two phone conversations with our ************* team, we have already provided a complete replacement vanity at no additional cost to you. Additionally, we have extended a courtesy compensation of $400.00. Please note that, as outlined in our terms and conditions available on our website, Build with Ferguson does not cover installation fees incurred by your contractor. Build.com and Build.com Network affiliates are not responsible for any labor costs related to handling, installing, or uninstalling items purchased.

  Furthermore, you requested contact information for our legal team. Please either have your legal counsel contact ours and/or you may physically mail your official letter of demand to our headquarters corporate address:

  Customer Answer

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The replacement vanity was offered, however, the removal of the existing, and the reinstallation of the replacement vanity would be more than what I paid for the original vanity, hence, why I was willing to accept a refund versus an exchange and having you pay the labor costs.
  Since this is a manufacturing flaw (a flawed vanity your company purchased from ***** ****** and sold to me), it is not appropriate or ethical business practice to have the consumer pay for a flawed product exchange. ***** ****** confirmed if I wanted a replacement drawer already assembled (which is all I asked for in the beginning), or a complete replacement vanity, I had to go through my place of purchase, you.

  As for the two-way phone call you mentioned, I had requested a three-way call between either ******* or **** in your customer support departments and a ***** ****** representative, and myself. ******* and **** both said they have no contact information for ***** ******, and I would have to call ***** ****** to locate a phone number. I find this odd at best, considering ******* was forwarded the email string from ***** ****** and your company has direct business dealings with ***** ******. Surely, someone in your company must have a contact phone number for ***** ******.
  

  Lastly, I am still prepared to settle this in court, but I was trying one last attempt to amicably settle this matter, at a lower cost to you.

  It is unfortunate this matter was not resolved at the lowest level, an assembled drawer, saving all of us time, money, and an excellent customer service experience.

  Thank you.

  12/20/24 @ 2:07PM online Build.com website showed a very low price for tile per sq.ft. I did not order initially, the next day I showed my husband the website and it still had the low price per sq ft stating tile was sold by ******. Each carton covered 13 sq.ft. It said fulfillment of offer would take 7-11 weeks. In 8 days I received 4 sheets of tile. It is almost impossible to contact them via phone, I'm on hold with them right now as 38th caller. My correspondence has been via email with ****** ******. I had taken a picture of website when I ordered. I sent it to her. All her responding email says is Order is complete. Emser Tile was listed as .48 sq.ft. $6.71 a carton. I will attach for you. I know this is a very low price, however, it was posted on their website for well over 48 hrs that I am aware of. I am a Business Owner and you must fulfill what you have advertised. Thank you for what you do for consumers.

  Thank you for reaching out to Build with Ferguson via the Better Business Bureau. At Ferguson, we strive to provide accurate website information at all times, and are regret that this was not the case with this order. While the Ferguson Sites strive to provide accurate product and pricing information, pricing or typographical errors may occur. The Ferguson Sites cannot confirm the price of any item until after you order.  In the event an item is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, the Ferguson Sites shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. As the order was not caught during fulfillment, as is should be, we can make an exception in the return for flooring and/or a refund of this order, which is typically non-returnable in most cases. We can also offer you a discount if you wish to proceed with purchasing additional sheets of flooring. We verified with the manufacturer and the information we have on site is accurate at this time and we are unable to verify when the glitch you saw occurred. 

  Again, we apologize for any frustration this may have caused. 

   

  Sincerely,

  Build with Ferguson

  I purchased a light fixture that was in stock on December 19th 2024 (Order ********) and was supposed to be shipped in 1 to 2 business days. Never shipped. Build.com representatives were assuring me that the item is being prepared to get shipped and I should be receiving a tracking number any minute. That never happened. Instead I got an email that the item will be shipped in 6 months (26 May, 2025). I asked to cancel my order and got an email from the representative ************************************** that the order has been cancelled. It was not. I want to get my money back.  

  Business Response

  Date: 12/30/2024

  We apologize for the delay with the cancellation. We are an ********* retailer and work with many vendors and manufacturers. We have submitted a cancellation request for your order to the vendor. Once the manufacturer confirms that it can be cancelled on their side, we will be able fully cancel the order and issue the credit. This process is to ensure the vendor hasn't miscommunicated the original ship date, and the item has not already in fact shipped. If for some reason we are unable to cancel the order and it has already shipped, we will notify you immediately. If the item has been shipped, once delivered, you can contact us, and we would be happy to set up a return for you. Again, we apologize for the delay. Due to the holidays, there can be a slight delay with processes as many other vendors are closed. We will reply as soon as we have updated cancellation information and you will be refunded.

  I am rejecting this response because: Build.com business relationship with their suppliers should not adversely impact customers. When ********************** states that the product is in stock and in fact it is not - the customer should not end up with their money taken for an extended amount of time. As far as I am concerned build.com took my money and not returning it due to their internal business issues. This is unacceptable.

  Thank you for your response. We understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience. We do charge prior to shipping, as we are a retailer who ship from various vendors around the **. This is listed in our site Terms and Conditions. We are working to get your order cancelled and refunded. We have noted you filed a chargeback with your bank as well.

  I purchased two Capital Lighting ******* Light fixtures (148921AD-541) on November 8 for $150 each. The order number was ********. One fixture arrived with a broken globe (part GL-541), which is covered under the one-year warranty. The manufacturer said that Build.com needs to handle honoring the warranty.I've contacted Build.com five times (two chats and three emails), but they have not replied. A representative named ****** ******* said that she would contact the manufacturer and get back to me, but I have been unable to reach her or customer support since then.The part IS covered by warranty, but because I cannot reach Build.com, I had to purchase the part for $54.69. I would like to be reimbursed.

  I echo the sentiments of others over this business having a A+ rating. Build.com does NOT deserve it.i purchased three kitchen pendants that are defective. Web site photographs did not depict the product accurately or honestly. Due to the use of cheap plastic cord being crimped at the canopy and pendant, the fixtures will not hang straight. I paid a licensed electrician $400 to install them, so that isn't the issue. The fixtures are defective. Honestly, the only application for this inferior lighting is to keep baby chicks warm in a coop. The chickens wouldn't give a ***** if they hang straight, or not.They can't be resold, the wiring has been cut to fit, so there is no reason why I should have to return them at my own expense. No resolution from customer service.I was unable to leave a review for the product I purchased, and the transaction does not appear in my account history. First time purchase with this company. Never again. It does not stand behind it's merchandise, there is no customer service.I have since ordered 3 different pendants at a cost of $350 from a different company. Which will need to be installed by an electrician. The Build.com pendants will be donated to *******, unless the company pays for their return.

  Business Response

  Date: 12/09/2024

  Thank you for your message.

  The customer called in to our call center to state that she didn't like the quality of the pendant lighting. Our associate offered to set up a return, however, we do not cover the cost of the electrician. Customer declined a return being set up. We also offered the manufacturer's phone number, as support, which she declined. We can offer her a return and refund, but she will need to send the items back to us. We are happy to waive return shipping as she mentioned in her prior statement.

  I originally placed Order #******** where the product price was matched to market value at $29.99. I wire transferred Build almost $15,000 to pay for it but they cancelled my order days later anyways. I cancelled the wire transfer to recover my money and tried again with a smaller order.Order ******** was created by Build and the product price was higher ($32.58 each).All Im asking for is a $699.30 ($2.59270) partial refund to match the previous pricing I had (quoteNumber 3X34M7FRW8).Im also willing to accept another 24 qty for no additional charge to make up for the difference.

  The original order was unable to be completed and was subsequently cancelled and refunded a month ago. This new order was paid in full and the price at time of purchase had gone up $2.50 per unit. We are unable to discount the order as it has already processed. We can cancel and refund in full if the customer prefers.

  . I ordered a vanity from build.com, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday. Their delivery guy demanded $150 to move five steps further from where he wanted to place it, said or else he would take it away from me. It was horrific. I told him to leave wherever he wanted to leave it and I will just file a complaint later. I asked him to move five steps because the storm was coming, it would be the difference of under the roof or not. He then took my vanity and refused to deliver. I told him he couldnt do it because I paid for it its mine, he said I cant do anything about it since its in his truck. He abducted my vanity and left! Since then I sent multiple emails to build.com company, no one ever wrote back to me. When this first happened I went to their website to chat, my chat was blocked. Although later it became active again but no one took my chat. The number thet left on their website was a fax tone first, hours later when I tried to call again I reached someone. Although she said I would receive a refund when I asked her to send me any written proof re refund, she said no, this call was it because it was recorded. But how do i even know its recorded? She also said I wouldnt receive any refund unless the vanity is back in their warehouse, however Im not responsible for their delivery guys abduction of my vanity! By all means, the guy could choose not to bring it back to their warehouse and sell it somewhere else. I am writing and seeking help to get my full refund right away.

  Hi *****,
  
  I sincerely apologize for the unsatisfactory delivery experience you had with us and for any inconvenience this has caused. We strive to work with reliable carriers and regret this was not your experience. While freight *** shipments are curbside delivery only, it is important to us to provide helpful customer service from order to delivery. I reviewed the order,and we have issued a refund in the amount of $1,472.37 to the original payment method on 11/22. Refunds can take 1-7 business days to process with your financial institution, so please keep that in mind. We greatly appreciate your business!
  
  Sincerely,
