  I am rejecting this response because: The issue was not resolved by Brand Smart but by me. I chose to cancel the order since I could not get a straight answer from anyone or a response from management.  Even cancelling the order was a hassle. This is not a good business practice at all.

  I bought an open box Bosch stove from Brandsmart on August 5th, being told it was in perfect condition and had manufacturer warranty. in addition to that i also bought an extended warranty. after the stove was delivered and installed we find that its not working. I tried contacting the manufacturer who came two weeks after and refused to fix the stove because "brandsmart knowingly sold a faulty unit" and bosch isnt responsible for that. The repair is estimated to be 3k. then i spent 2 weeks fighting with brandsmart who didnt want to take responsability for fixing it. all of this is happening as i am 8 months pregnant. brandsmart finally takes responsability and says they will send a technician and for the last month and a half i have been waiting for the stove to get fixed. the technician has come in two occasions complaining that he needs to order more parts and complainig about the work he has to do, citing that i shouldve just gotten a replacement because everything is WRONG with this stove. meanwhile i have tried to get a replacement from brandsmartt and they REFUSED because the two week return period has passed.this has been the most exhausting an painful experience of my life. I havent had a stove for TWO MONTHS. today when i finally expect the unit to be fixed as the final piece is supposed to have arrived from ***** now they call me last minute to say that the technician ordered the WRONG PART AGAIN. I AM 39 WEEKS PREGNANT ABOUT TO GIVE BIRTH and I dont have a stove to feed my family. what brandsmart is doing is CRIMINAL. KNOWINGLY SELLING OPEN BOX ***** THAT ARE FULLY FAULTY TO CUSTOMERS THEN EXPECTING THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THEM AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CUSTOMERS TO GET THE ***** FIXED. I DEMAND THEY SEND ME A BRAND NEW UNIT IMMEDIATELY I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER TWO MONTHS AND THEIR TECHNICIANS ARE INCOMPETENT AND FULL OF LIES.NEVER TRUST BRANDSMART I WILL NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN AND NO ONE SHOULD

  On 9/2, I purchased a ******* Washer/Dryer combo. The following Saturday, the appliances were delivered. The delivery men pointed out that the washer was scratched and the dryer was dented on the right side towards the bottom. A credit was offered for the scratch and dent. The scratch was minor so I accepted the washer I explained if the dryer works fine with the dent, i'll accept it. When the dryer was installed and the maintenance guy did a test run, the dryer drum scrapes the dented side and makes a very loud noise while running. I declined it I am now going on the 5th delivery for a dryer as they all have been dented. I went to the store and assistant manager ******* assisted me. He arranged for another delivery directly from the store with an inhouse delivery person the week of 10/8. He said he would check on a credit regarding the ordeal and call me the next week. It is now going on 3 weeks and ******* never called about the credit. I did receive a call from someone else stating that a 3rd party will deliver the dryer. I explained that is not what was discussed and this person that was not ******* stated he will call me back. There has been no resolve for the dryer I purchased over a month ago or credit that was offered. It feels like this store is taking advantage of me and not taking my time or concern seriously. The customer service team has been rude, not helpful, and hung up on me. I am a working single woman tussling with this situation, several delivery men coming to my house for unproductive visits, and being ignored by the assistant manager. I have emailed ******* several times and he has yet to reply. I am totally frustrated. Today I received a call that another 3rd party vendor will deliver the dryer which was the issue the previous 4 times. ******* said it would all be in house. I refused the 3rd party option and now waiting on a call back for next steps. I will never purchase from BrandsMart again as this has been a nightmare.

  07/04/2024, I went and bought appliances that were discounted because of the 4th of July sale. There was a promotion that if you buy 4 items you would get $400 gift card and ******* also had a $300 gift card when buying 3 or more of their items. After waiting 90 days, my cooktop has not been delivered yet and there is no estimate time for delivery. I built my kitchen taking into consideration the measurement of the ******* cooktop I bought. Now 3 months later, I don't have a cooktop, no gift card because since the item has not been delivered, there is no serial number to apply to the promotion and I have a hole in my kitchen's countertop that will need to be redone because of the false advertisement this store was giving. I have tried calling the customer and delivery centers and no-one cares. The sales person that helped me was very kind and has tried his best to assist me but nothing works. Now the manager wants to sell me a different cooktop that is 3 times more expensive because is the only one in stock.

  I have spoken with the customer and was agreed to issue a refund of the unit that wasn't delivered to the customer along with an additional refund of $300 for the rebate that the customer lost due to the delay in delivery. 

  These refunds were done on the same day from us.

  I ordered a ************** from Brandsmart online portal in May 2024. I never received ************** from them as they were out of stock. I ended up buying from ******. I started receiving bills from Brandsmart for the product I never received. I called them 100 times. It takes hours to connect to a person. They all assure me that I won't be charged but they are still sending bills and late charges to my Synchrony account. I'm 72 years old person. This is mental harassment for me. Nobody is ready to correct their mistake. What they want me to pay for? I never received anything from Brandsmart. What am I being charged for?

  We bought a living room set back in June 2024 and we received the recliner and recliner couch within the first week of ordering. But we were told the ******** was on back order. We waited and checked the tracking periodically and they never called us to tell us the loveseat was in stock. We called 2-3 days ago and they said it was there and they would schedule delivery. Today was supposed to have been the day of the delivery and no one called or anything, I took the day off to be home for the delivery and we received no call or text letting us know it wasnt going to be here. We had to reach out to them and all we were told it wasnt put on the delivery truck. We tried several times to reach someone about the matter but everyone we talked to was just trying to get us off the phone. The issue so far has NOT been resolved. We have called the store several times with no resolution and also corporate. But they tell us it will be delivered and it never is. We have done the confirm your delivery several times. As far as we are concerned we will never ever buy from BrandsMart USA again.- ***********, ** Location

  I am a 74 yr old woman who purchased a refrigerator less than 2 years ago form ********* along with a warranty. The fridge broke and a technician came to look at fridge Tuesday Aug 13th, what was wrong and then they stated the would be back that week to fix the fridge by Friday. They did not show up, They then pushed the appt to Wed of the following week and did not show up again, and the same happened on Friday the 23rd where they sent message stating they would be back and they never showed. Every time we call they refuse to let me speak with a manager or just hang up the phone on me. When I called the store the manager simply said its not my store, what do you want me to do about it. I have had close to $1,000 of food go bad, wasted 4 days of my life waiting with no resolution. They seem to not care about helping me and also are rude and say it is not their problem. As a retiree on a fixed budget the amount of food that was spoiled really has an affect on my funds. It is difficult for me to drive daily to get food as well. No one seems to care and I am not sure what to do at this point as I specifically purchased an expensive warranty and they seem to not care for their customer in any way. I ask that you please help assist any way possible to get this to a resolution. I greatly appreciate your assistance in this matter.

  8/9/24 I ordered a dishwasher on their website, Dishwasher $429.99, haul away $49.99, tax *****, shipping/handling *****, for total $572.37. NO WHERE did it say that I had to remove the old dishwasher myself for them to haul it away, nor did it mention "installation" separate from shipping/handling. My reasonable assumption was that delivery people would install the new dishwasher and take the old one away. I bought many appliances from them over the years - including web orders and that has always been the case. 8/12/24 they dropped off the crate with the dishwasher & refused to either install or haul away, I called Brandsmart; The unidentified woman who answered refused to refund either the haul away or the shipping; when I asked for a supervisor, she hung up on me. After several calls, I spoke to "******" who said she sent msg to management so I would get a full refund including shipping. 8/15/24, Brandsmart picked up the dishwasher, still sitting unopened in its crate. I received no receipt at that time, either by paper or email. 8/20/24 I called again, told ****** I had not received the refund. She said it takes 3-5 business days from the date the dishwasher was picked up, so should get it 8/22/24. 8/22/24 I called again, told ****** still no refund. She said I should have it by the next day, 8/23/24. 8/27/24 I called again, told ****** still no refund. ****** said it takes 5-7 business days, should have it Thursday 8/29. 8/29 I called again, spoke with "*****," who said a different department handles refunds it had been sent to them, confirmation she gave me was *****, said I should have it in 24 hours. 8/30 I received a "refund" to my credit card in the amount of $396.43. I have no idea where that number came from, but it is $175.94 short & less than the cost of dishwasher alone! Again, I called *****, She said there was a "revised ticket" (?????) and that's where that amount came from. I have no information about that.

  Good Morning,On 12/30/23, I purchased 4 Frigidaire kitchen appliances at the ************************************************ location for kitchen remodel project. We decided to make an advance purchase to take advantage of a End of ************ promotion that Brandsmart was running at the time, were we would get $400 rebate (via a giftcard). We scheduled to receive the items around the April.When attempted to file the rebate claim I was asked for the serial numbers of each appliance which I would not have since the appliances until later in 2024. I explained this via email to the company that was running the rebate intake for Brandsmart, I provided copies of the invoice/receipt and after multiple emails was rejected for the request. At the same time I engaged directly with the Brandsmart management team at the ************* Sunrise location and explained the situation. They promised to take care of it and to their credit after many months we did get a rebate in mail, but it was only for $200. Obviously not we expected asd we expected the amount to be $400.All that I am asking is to receive the full amount that was originally agreed upon per the End of ************ promotion.Thank you!
