  I purchased a designer chair for FFL Brands in the $3000-$4000 price range.Not only was it 6 months late, it arrived with clear damage that was a dent made by poor handling or shipping.As soon as they received my payment they were slow to respond to any email. And after I shared the damage they did not respond. I eventually called them and they told me that its wood and marks are natural and they will not do anything about it.When ordering an expensive piece of furniture it should arrive in mint condition, if it does not, then they need to replace it or offer some partial refund. They simply are doing nothing.

  Dear BBB,

   

  Based on all the information we have, issue has been resolved with the customer.

  Our service team was surprised to see this complaint. Prior to receiving this notice from BBB, we had already replaced the scratched portion of this customer's chair. 

  Sincerely,

  More info

  I purchase a Varier Gravity Chair from FFL in 2019 for approximately $2500.00. The chair has pads for the knees to rest on while sitting at the desk. One of the pads had torn, and I contacted FFL to seek a replacement for the knee pad material only, as it has a zipper that allows you to remove and replace the fabric. They told me to replace this piece of fabric would cost me $2207.00. That is roughly 80% of the total cost of the chair. I also contacted the manufacturer in Europe, who of course, sent me back to FFL. I feel that there may be some price gouging or unfair trade practices going on here, as the price of the fabric cannot logically constitute 80% of the overall cost of the chair. A lot more craftmanship and labor goes into the wood structure, as seen in the picture attached. I use the term price gouging, as they know that there is only one manufacturer and one source in U.S. to by this chair and/or any of its accessories. Although it might be difficult to prove price gouging, it is still illegal in the **** last I checked. I of course, will be filing a complaint with my state's attorney general's office as well, as this is a pure rip off.

  Dear BBB,

  We have arranged for this customer to receive the replacement part requested. The total we charged was under $350 for the part, and I believe that the customer is totally satisfied at this time. 

  Please note that the part will take some time to ship from the factory to the customer, but our service team has communicated this. 

  Please check with the customer. I think you'll find that we have fully addressed this problem.

  Thank you for bringing this to my attention and allowing us to address the issue.

  Regards,

  Hello,In 11/16/2021 I have ordered/purchased an INADA ROBO MASSAGE CHAIR from www.massagechairheaven.com, and paid $10,799.99 for it. The massage chair was not delivered to me until the January 2022. In 0413/2022 the foot massager broke. In 04/14/2022 Ive contacted the Osaki warranty department, which is responsible for the warranty repairs for INADA massage chairs. I spoke with representative named *******. ******* told me to submit a picture/video of the broken part and email it to him. I filmed the broken part and submitted it to ******* as he instructed me to do so. Shortly Ive received an email response from ******* acknowledging the receipt of my submission via email and advised me that the had created a repair ticket (# *****). Further ******* advised me in the email that the replacement part has been ordered and it should take approximately ***** business days. On 05/14/2022 (a month passed) Ive contacted ******* via email to get a repair status check, since Ive never received any response from him for the order for new replacement part had been placed. In other words ******* game me a maximum of 15 days of wait time and I waited 30 days to get a status update. On 05/16/2022 Ive got an email response from the warranty department (no name of representative was included in the email), advising me that the replacement part will be shipped out in the following week, from the date of the email. Not having received any response, nor the replacement part, Ive contacted them again On 05/30/2022 to see whats going on that none of their promises are being fulfilled. On 06/02/2022 Ive received an email response from *******, advising me that the replacement part they received were broken, because the specific part is deemed fragile and he had to order a new foot massager supposedly from a newer model, that supposedly was addressed the fragile part of the first model/edition, and he should have a ***** tracking number for in a week. Still waiting

  Dear ******************, 
  
  I understand that you have spoken with the head of our customer service team, ******** Unfortunately, what she has shared with you is accurate.
  
  The Robo product that you purchased from an online website is not a product that we have ever sold or supported. In light of this, we do not have any parts nor the know-how to solve your problem.
  
  Osaki Titan is in fact the distributor of the product that you purchased. I can see that you have been in touch with them. They are the people who can (and should) help. We have no relationship at all with Osaki Titan, so youll have to keep nagging them for support.
  
  The store where you made your purchase, MassageChairHeaven.com, may also be able to help, and if no one is willing to support the warranty on your Robo, you may wish to take it up with your credit card company. 
  
  I wish I had better news for you. If we COULD hello you, we WOULD help. Indeed, if this were a product we supported, we would have taken good care of you. Should you choose to return your Robo, please consider owning one of the made in ***** chairs on our site, the OHCO M.8LE and the OHCO M.8. 
  
  I wish you luck, and I am sorry that we cannot help resolve this for you,

  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.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  *********************************

   

  thank you very much for the information and clarification. When I was chatting with one of your associates, she assured me that your company is the one that is responsible for the Inada massage chair warranty repair. Sh even reassured me by dropping a link which was inada warranty webpage. Apparently her knowledge database needs a refreshment to know the correct thing. 
  

  Appreciate your time and I am sorry about the confusion. 
  

  respectfully 

  alexander.
