      I purchased a Olive **** in Channel Back Performance Velvet from West Elm (Order: ************) last year. Recently, the sofa experienced a malfunction so I called west elm to explain the issue. As suggested I also uploaded images of the problem and filled out necessary forms - on July 1st. I have since reached out to them several times via phone and 3-4 times via email with no resolutions, despite an employee escalating the problem. If they are unable to provide support to fix the problem, please come and pick up the unable couch and issue a refund. They should be providing some kind of financial compensation for this delay.Service Ticket Number: **********

      On 9/5/20 I placed an order w/ Pottery Barn for $7,044.15 w/ an expected delivery date of 9/24. On 3/1/21 items were ready for delivery to freight forwarder which I paid $1,994 to deliver to my home in Maui. I received items. I received 4 same sized canopy pieces. I contacted customer service 4/23/21 about missing parts (Menlo Canopy Bed order #************). Had a few reorder attempts and cancellations. I received a call from a local delivery company with my pieces. Delivered on 2/24/22 but P.B. sent wrong pieces. The received were for the bottom. I am missing two long-side, top pieces. On 3/16/22 a replacement order was made by customer service phone call. On 4/19/22, informed order wasnt placed. On 4/21/22, new order was placed. On 9/21/22, a canceled order notification and an email explanation i.e. my location. I replied on 9/22 and received no response. Filed a BBB complaint on 10/4/22. Received email response from P.B. 10/6. Informed parts would be available 10/10 and shipped out to my house when they arrive. I was satisfied with this and closed the BBB case. On 10/24 I received a new email informing me my items were backordered until 3/6/23. After back-and-forths about not shipping to Maui, I was, once again, assured on 12/29/22 that it would happen but not until 5/11-5/31/23. On 1/3/23, the parts were shipped to **********. On 1/18/23, they arrived in **********. Items to be delivered to freight forwarder on 1/27/23 according to appointment confirmation and email from customer service. On 1/30/23 received order cancellation email. A few hours later, informed by customer service the parts were delivered to the freight company and were working to get shipped to me. On 2/20/23 I was asked if I received my order. I waited and on 5/8/23, after not hearing anything back since 2/20, I inquired about what was going on and to this day have received no reply. To top it off, the bed now squeaks due to not being put together correctly for all this time.

      Complaint: 20365051

      I am rejecting this response because: It is impossible for me to return the bed for a refund. I cannot physically disassemble whats been assembled and get it out of my home. As shown, Ive been persistent, for years, in getting the last pieces, Pottery Barn failed to send me, to complete my furniture set. It no longer being available means it will never be complete and I will need to purchase an entirely new bedroom set. 
      I am not interested in going through this entire process over again or do any business further with Williams Sonoma, Inc.
      Im asking for a full refund for their failure in delivering a full furniture set. Im also requesting a refund for the freight shipping because I will have to order a new set and *********** to me.

      Complaint: 20365051

      I am rejecting this response because: I would love to return all of the furniture from this purchase for a full refund. It has been years and an absolute nightmare. If the company would like to send someone to my house to disassemble it and send it back to the mainland, on their dime, that would be acceptable.

      I, however, am not going to accept a partial refund for a mistake that this company has said is their fault and must be fixed. The company tried to complete the order by sending the correct parts. They failed in doing so on many occasions and now the parts needed are not available.

      The dysfunction inside the company and their warehouse is not my responsibility. Now keep up with your end of making this right, which I was told by many representatives would happen after my order was fulfilled. An event Ive been waiting years to happen and now will never come to fruition.

      Sincerely,

      On November 24, 2022 I purchased an item at Pottery Barn. I purchased it online at pottery barn.com. The item was on sale. It stated it was backordered and would have a delivery date of 5/2023. I received an email that the order was being canceled. Then I record another email saying to ignore the previous email the item was not canceled and would be arriving later than May. I called Pottery Barn shorty latter to speak to someone to verify my order was not he canceled as I wanted the item. I was told at that time they had no date for if and when the item would be coming and it may never be in stock. I was told then that my order would be canceled and I didnt have the option to leave it open until the summer. I was told to check and if tue item came back in stock to call and I would be able to buy the item for the price I paid since I had purchased and paid for it. The item has been back in stock and yet no one will help me. Ive called four times. Ive been denied 3 and one other time the employee simply put me on hold and hung up on me. I would like my item and for the price I paid and was promised I could purchase it for. The item is once again short on supply and again I may not get my item.

      I am filing a complaint against Pottery Barn for order number ************* placed on March 30th. I am missing two items: #******* ***** Upholstered Bench and #***** Universal Upholstered Cube, scheduled for delivery.Despite my $50,000 credit limit with ************ Pottery Barn insisted on a payment issue for the SoMa ******* Upholstered Chaise Lounge, delaying delivery for weeks. Emailing support multiple times yielded no response.After finally resolving the payment, I spent an hour and a half on the phone, transferred six times, and hung up on twice, only to learn my order was canceled.I seek accountability, prompt delivery of my paid items, and 20% reimbursement for time and frustration.

      Purchased a leather chair and an Ottoman from WestElm (************). The leather chair was supposed to be delivered immediately, the Ottoman upon finalizing the custom job. WestElm continues to push back the delivery date (without informing customer) because the warehouse with the chair is backed up. They refuse split delivery (despite heavy shipping g charge) and there is no line of sight to resolution.Ive submitted 2 written complaints to WestElm and one to Williams Sonoma. All remained unanswered. Williams Sonoma just used my email address from the complaint to sign me up for a newsletter I did not want to receive. No line of sight to delivery and problem resolution. This is some of the worst customer service and communication Ive ever seen.

      Complaint: 20361128

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I got a generic message, stating WestElm would check on the status of the chair and deliver both items together once ready. This is not a resolution, but just a description of their previous position (declining split delivery).

      I did not receive the promised delivery update either. When following up with WestElm this morning, I received an auto-reply that my contact is out of office.

      Sincerely,

      *******

      Williams-Sonoma, ***** is in receipt of the customers rejection.  The Chair has been loaded unto the trailer destined for ****** and we will be following the order for its arrival.  Unfortunately, the order does not qualify for split delivery.  Both items will be delivered once the Chair is received.

      Situation: I purchased order ************ from Pottery Barn on May 24th and returned the order 2 days after it arrived. Nothing was wrong, it was simply not the right color tone so I went ahead and purchased the natural in its place. The order total was $767.55. $100 was purchased on a gift card. The remaining $667.55 was on our pottery barn credit card. Issue: Ive yet to receive any refund, and our pottery barn credit card balance has already been paid via *********** because of how long its taken to get this resolved. The pottery barn customer service team claimed that they initially processed the full refund onto an e-merchandise gift card, but thats false. The e-marchandise gift card notification I received only had an error message when I tried to open it to see if this was a true claim. Ive been told by MANY team members (and over 4 hours of phone time when Im a business woman with 2 small children) that it will be resolved in 3-5 business days. Well, were more than 20 business days now and each week, I follow back up to see what the new story is. What I need: I was told that a DTC (I could have the acronym incorrect, but believe I heard it correctly) was entered on July 14th and that the refund would be properly applied within 5 business days. Yet again, its not. I need $100 applied to an e-merch gift card and the remaining $667.55 applied to my pottery barn card. Please feel free to call me at number listed below if I need to help clarify anything. I appreciate your time in advance and hope to finally get my money back. ***************** ************

      On July 4th, I called the *********** Pottery Barn to inquire about the color of the ***** desks, which were on sale for $1,359 from $1,599. The salesperson, *******, was very helpful and encouraged me to order while the desks were still on sale. I placed an order for 2 desks and a cabinet for a total of $4,243.69 including tax and delivery. I was charged the full amount although the delivery was not going to be made until as late as August 1st. I was not told by the salesperson or in the emailed order confirmation of any cancellation period or penalties that would apply.The next week I received a pop-up notice that the desk was on sale for $959, which is $400 less per desk (for a total of $800). On July 10th, I called the Pottery Barn in Winter Park and was referred to ***************** I spoke with *******, who advised that they would not give me the $959 price. I was told that I could not cancel my order as I was beyond the cancellation period and the furniture had been loaded on the truck for delivery on July 8th. I was told to wait until I was notified of the delivery, cancel and I would be given a refund and could order at the $959 price. I was not told that I would be charged the $299+ delivery charge as a penalty.I tracked the delivery of the items I ordered. As of July 21st, the desks were not in transit. I again called **************** and spoke with *****. He acknowledged that Pottery Barn had never advised in its Order Confirmation of the cancellation period or that I would be charged a delivery fee. He said that I should have asked the salesperson. I cancelled the order and was given a refund of only $3,923.69, which means I was charged a penalty of $319.93.I am filing this Complaint because: I was not allowed to cancel an order for furniture that was never shipped; I was never advised of a cancellation period, and; I was never advised that I would be charged a $299+ shipping fee as a penalty for cancellation.

      The issue occurred over 18 months without resolution from two parties, Pottery Barn and ************ I had issues with multiple furniture orders with Pottery Barn, and was promised a reimbursement of $1445.71. My fiancee ********************* was primary point of contact, working with ****************************************, who was "Lead-Retail Support Team", both by email and phone, at least a dozen different points of communication (Re: Order# ************). We were promised refund multiple times verbally and in writing. We were told initial attempts at refund didn't go through because *********** bought the Pottery Barn card services from ************* and they couldn't credit to our new card. After months of misleading communication, where ****** was on-and-off availability, she was no longer with the company and Pottery Barn dismissed our refund outright without further explanation.Additionally, we were told not to pay the balance on our card that was transferred to ***********, because it would be resolved by Pottery Barn. We accrued late fees and charges (despite multiple communications with *********** to attempt to explain the situation and freeze the account). We finally just paid the final balance due to the impact of a negative credit score. CaptialOne told me they could help resolve the issue when my balance was paid, which was a complete lie. After payment they told me there was no further resolution possible on their part. So now I am out the $1445.71 refund from Pottery Barn as well as $463.97 in late fees for a card that I never authorized and was strung along over the course of a year and a half. I closed the *********** card in February 2023 after it was clear they would not be of assistance.I had stellar credit before this incident, and it was negatively impacted due to being strung along by each party with no final resolution.I have attached emails as evidence for Pottery Barn. Final correspondence with them and all correspondence with *********** was by phone.

      Complaint: 20357815

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The $1900 refund referred to by the business is for a separate incident,12 months prior in 2021 from the current complaint, where two chairs were delivered damaged and returned (we took refund instead of replacement, due to the lengthy proposed replacement time). We bought a new home and furnished multiple rooms through Pottery Barn over the course of two years and had multiple invoices (and two separate issues). All correspondence around that first incident was by phone, so there are no email records to upload. The current complaint and refund amount ($1455 vs. $1900, an obvious difference) is detailed in writing by ****** nearly a full year after the prior refund was successfully completed (Feb 2022 vs. May 2021), which is clear evidence that these are two separate incidents. Part of my initial complaint detailed that Pottery Barn dismissed further correspondence showing evidence of the prior refund, without considering my attempts to explain that these are two separate cases.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is exactly what the entire complaint is about. The original attempt at refund was never received because it went to a cancelled (Comenity) Pottery Barn card. That's why there was 6 months of dialogue after Februrary, and ****** (from PB) confirmed that it didn't go through in the emails. 

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Despite the business response, I never received any credit, refund or payment on Feb 25, 2022 or any other subsequent date. This is clearly confirmed by the email correspondence with the Pottery Barn representative that was attached in the initial emails. They attempted to refund to a credit card THAT NO LONGER EXISTED. I've attached further email evidence regarding no posted payment and their inability to provide evidence. I've also attached my credit card statement for CapitalOne (which was the active credit card company for Pottery Barn on Feb 25, 2022) clearly showing no credit or reimbursement. I can provide additional statements until the card was closed that also show now credit from PB, as well as continued late fees due to waiting on the promised PB refund.


      Sincerely,

      On 7/19 I ordered a toaster and expresso machine. After I realized that I was charged on the wrong card I called Williams Sanoma right away to cancel it. The lady who I spoke to ensured me that the toaster was canceled but for the expresso machine I have to call after an hour. I did call after an hour and I was told the expresso machine was canceled as well. Well yesterday I got an email that the toaster was shipped. I called today and the first person who I spoke to hang up the phone on me. The second person said that he put a request for a refund. After I asked him a tracking or something he said that I should trust him. I told him I dont trust myself so I need proof. He transferred me someone else. She did put a cancellation and received an email for that. I asked the lady if the guy before him put anything she said no. So he lied to me. I have never seen a costumer service so bad in my life. I was actually going to purchase the item again but now I will never shop from them again. Order number is ************. I just hope I receive the money soon.
