Your system will not allow me to attach screenshots. I purchased a dining room set online today from Brandsmart USA **************. I opted to pick up at store to avoid the $109 delivery fee. I rented a truck to go get the item. About an hour after purchase, I received call from BM USA saying the item not in stock:Me: Why did it say it was available online?Agent: takes awhile to update, you will get a refund in 7-10 BUSINESS days Me: Refund? For what? There is no purchase. Why would you process my payment if you dont have the item?Agent: Hung up on me Called **************************** to the Dania warehouse. I was informed by ****** that there are at least 5 sets at warehouse down st from Dania store. ME: Great- when will they deliver to Dania store?******: They wont. You can come pick it up at warehouse but you will need to cancel this order, drive to dania in person, pay for it, get a ticket, then go to warehouse with ticket. ME: Cancel it? Its already canceled! ******: no, the person who hung up didnt cancel, so your $ wasnt going to be refunded it wouldve been held. ME: If its at warehouse down the street that feeds Dania store its products, why wont warehouse bring items to its store? ******: (paraphrasing) bottomline- only way warehouse will move it is if I pay AN ADDITIONAL $109 delivery fee.ISSUE: They took my money off my card knowing they couldnt fill order, then tried to bully me into paying another $109 for delivery. Now they are holding my funds for a product they knew they did not have!!!!!!!!!!Business Response

Overcharge, an attempt to defraud a customer and several staff displaying extreme incompetant customer servce skills. Formal Complaint Attn: Manager *****, *************** **. We spoke at 1100am this morning in reference to your repair department (*******) failing to expedite (her words) my work order schedule from yesterday, The tech was scheduled to arrive between (0800-1200) in reference to a ******* 26 cubic ft fridge with a compressor error code. The unit stopped working Sunday. On Monday, customer service scheduled a tech visit for with a two 2 day wait time at a $99 fee. Reference Job # *******.The tech never showed or called yesterday according to you schedule appointment time. At 12, I called the service **** and spoke with *******. She stated in a surprising tone that I should not have waited 2 days for a tech to come out. After laughing about the service call delray, ******* apologized and advised that she would reschedule him for the next hour and expedite the work order after the technician completed his service call. The tech arrived a 15 minutes after 1pm and in 60 seconds he identified the Error Code inside the fridge - same code on control board. I even prepared the area for the tech, pulled the fridge out from the wall, cleared the walking area, and removed the two control panels. How do you get away with charging $99 for a tech to do read a code on the inside of the refrigerator door. He did absolutely nothing. He called *******, gave her my cc details for payment and said he was going to the truck to send ******* my service isit details and that would call me to give me a quote on the compressor part and labor. I have wait 2 days and crickets. No one know who ******* is at the *********. I then called ******* and they confirmed that they would replaced the compressor for free since it is under 10 year warranty.Customer Answer
Date: 06/22/2024
Update. At 1100 yesterday 6/21/2024 the store manager ****** contacted me via phone. She read my complaint and will be taking several actions to make sure that this does not happen to any other Brandsmart customer. Moving forward, she will be handling my service repair need at each stage until completion and stated as if "this was my own baby". She apologized to me for all the delay,frustration, and inconvenience which I have experienced. She stated that the staff should have called me with an update, to explain the process, right after the technician arrived. She said that there was no excuse for zero contact.
She further stated that the compressor was under warranty and a new part order was placed by the repair department. That part is showing shipped and the expected delivery of the compressor part to Brandsmart will be this coming Tuesday, at approximately 1pm.****** will call me that day with a status update whether that part arrives or not. She also provided me with her direct phone number to her office.
Ms. ****** extended the courtesy of delivering me a loaner refrigerator asap because she did not want me to go through the weekend, and two week days without one.
I declined since I do have a mini fridge in the laundry room and do not wish to cause the store to do more work than the minimal expected job at hand. I thanked her for her courtesy.
She said that she explained to her staff, who will be retrained, that a refrigerator is not like a tv in a house where there are 3 or more in each room. She said that the Brandsmart customers are the life line to keeping people employed and coming back years later for more needed appliances.
She also stated that requested all my phone call recordings for the last week made to her staff. This was such a positive conversation with a compassionate manager. Unlike ***** who asked me why are you call the store and not the repair department because this has nothing to do with us since the part is under warranty. ***** missed the fact that their repair and service department lacked in simple communication, failed to provide a service call receipt and an update but took my $99 for the thirty second service call to verify the Error Code on the refrigerator that I identified without their technician. ***** and the repair department employee need retraining but honestly, if they dont like helping people who have new appliances (4 year old ******* refrigerator), who lose a fridge full of food, who had to wait 2 days for a service technician, an overpriced repair technician, a technician who failed to show up during the 4-hour window appointment that Brandsmart scheduled, , whos repair technician did absolutely nothing more than the customer by reading the R81 code on the inside refrigerator door or 4 solid red flashing lights repeating on the mother board and not telling the customer that the compressor is under a 10 Year warranty but instead telling the customer that the parts department will call you immediately with the price of the part and the price of the installation to see if you want to move forward with the repair, and then not having anyone call the customer for 2 days, and the customer calling 8 times to try and find someone who knows anything about the service all, than they need to find new jobs. Karma knows their addresses. I am confident of that.
I will keep you posted and thank you for taking this complaint.Business Response

Thank you for the chance to mediate this issue. The store manager, *********************, called and apologized for no one calling me or updating me on any information related to the technician responding to the home. She stated that the part was under warranty and ordered. Delivery was the following Tuesday and a lead technician was sent out with a second In Training rep at 9am Wednesday. I was supposed to recieve a phone call just prior to techs arrival and that did not happen. They called me from my driveway stating that they had an appointment (4 hour window). After two hours they apologized in that they were not able to get the new compessor working. Again. I was left with no responsse until 6pm later that day. At 6pm, anoher store representative sent the tech to a local hardware store to purchase another unit and scheduled the Manager of the technicans out the next morning at 0900 to repair the unit. Everything is working satisfactory at this time. They call me on Saturday to follow up and confirm that the unit was cooling. They did expedite as much as possible but the bare bones of their customer service and repair division are lacking significantly.Customer Answer

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.Please note. There are significant communication changes that their repair & service department must address. I experienccd mulitple days and hours in laspe of correspondence. There are no direct phone numbers to the managers. Futher, there are built in barriers and ustomer service employees who refuse to transfer a call to a manager or supervisor. Many pretend that they don't know who any of the named supervisors are. The daisy chain and deflection of calls are beyond frustrating while the customer is sittting in limbo and pending expensive repairs and more delays. On a scale of 1 to 5 with 1 being the on the lowest rating for your repair & service department in ***************, it ranks at 1.

On 5/2/24 I ordered a Fridgidaire refigerator and on 5/4/24 I cancelled the order. The person on the phone told me that it would take 3 to 4 days for the cancellation to be removed. The order was never completed or delivered but on 6/15/24 I received a credit card statement with the charge for the refrigerator on it with a due date of 6/20/24. the charge is $1524.79. The order ID was ********. In the meantime I ordered another refrigerator along with a stove on 6/5/24 and received it on 6/8/24 with no problem. I called Brandsmart's customer service to ask them to have the charge from 5/2/24 removed but they transferred me to ************** to handle the problem and ************** told me that it's Brandsmart's responsibility to contact them to have the charge removed. I don't know who's responsibility it is but I am not paying for something that I didn't get and I don't have the time and patients to get ran around.Business Response

I placed an order on 5/4. The order number is *******. The amount was $1,700.03. It was scheduled for delivery on 5/10 and never arrived. I learned on 5/14 that it was on backorder, but was never notified. On 5/15, I was offered a different washer and dryer set. The new order number is *****. I made a call on 5/21. I believe it was scheduled for delivery on 5/25. It was never delivered and no one ever contacted me to let me know it would not be delivered. I called the company to find out it was on backorder. I finally canceled my order on 6/6 and have yet to receive my refund. No one can tell me when I can expect my money or return my phone calls or responds to email.Business Response

I placed an online order for a fridge on 5/19/24 (Order ID ******** Total $1,630.28). The order confirmation indicated a delivery date of 5/24/24. On the evening before the delivery, I received a voicemail message indicating that the fridge would not be delivered because it was out of stock (I had taken time off from work to be home for the delivery, so 12 hours notice of non-delivery was very frustrating). I called customer service and the agent that I spoke with said "oh you placed an online order?? Don't ever do that, it doesn't work. Just come to the store." I said that I order almost everything online and if the company offers the option to order online, my assumption is that it's a reliable way to purchase the product. Anyway... I asked to cancel the order altogether because I had already ordered the very same product from Best Buy for a better price ($200 less AND got a $100 gift card with my purchase). The customer service agent told me to call back in the morning to cancel the order because a manager needed to refund the order and they only work daytime hours. So, I called the next morning, was transferred to online sales, canceled the order and asked for a confirmation of the cancelation. I was told there's no confirmation number but to expect the refund in about 3-5 business days. After 12 business days, there was still no refund to my credit card, so this time I used the chat feature to reach an agent ("************") who told me that the order was never canceled. I said that it was canceled by phone on 5/24 but did not receive a confirmation #. She told me that she would cancel the order now and I would receive an email confirmation in about 30 minutes. So far I have not seen the cancellation notice come through, but I'm crossing my fingers that I'll see the refund come through very soon. I hope that Brandsmart will find a way to do better! Refer to Best Buy business model, it's excellent!Business Response

I bought a stove at Brandsmart *************** the first time I went to use it. It filled up the house with smoke. I called Brandsmart and they sent someone over to fix it, but they couldnt get the parts then I was told by Brandsmart that because I didnt accept the extended warranty I have to deal with Ge and there was nothing to do with them why would they send someone over to fix it if it was nothing to do with them GE said that they werent allowed to work on it. Theyre not an authorized repair Brandsmart has been rude and uncooperative when you asked for a manager they dont accept phone calls. Ive been put on hold from Brandsmart until I can show more respect. I am leaving for ********** and I will be gone for four months. No one has taken responsibility one person and Brandsmart says theyre waiting for parts.

I took advantage of a President's *** sale. Date of purchase 2/19. The sales rep advised that I had until August 2024 to file the claim for a store rebate. When I finally had the information I needed, the claim was closed. When you go to the website the terms and conditions are not displayed out right and I needed additional information to file the claim. When I inquired with the promotions team they advised that the terms were listed on the website and that the window was 90 days, which is not what I was told. Obviously, if I was told to go there to look at the deadline I would have completed it in a timely fashion. The terms on the sheet of paper are not listed. It does say to go to the website, but if I'm told one thing why would I go to the website. (Comparable to the ******* rebate claim I received where the deadline is in fact listed). I feel like this was told to me to bait the sale and then customers would not be able to claim their rebates.Business Response
