Sofa and Loveseat and warranty which I was told covered everything including damage made by my animal. I was told that in the event of this happening they would replace it. I spoke to customer service and they advised me to reach out to corporate, and when i tried to file a complaint it took me to a social media platform then basically wouldn't accept my complaint and complete run around.Business Response

Good evening, Me and my husband bought all the appliances for the house we just moved in from Brandsmart. We bought them in May 20th. They said we would be receiving it end of June/ beginning of July. Today, we received a message saying our delivery had been scheduled for tomorrow, and then they called us saying that it was a mistake and we will be receiving it middle of August!! The thing is we are remodeling the kitchen and the price of installation was already included and the kitchen company is just waiting for it to finish the kitchen. Also, we've being spending a lot of money every day ordering food because the appliances that they are postponing the deliver are the cooktop and the oven and microwave (The other ones were delivered already). I cannot be 3 months without cooking. When you go to buy something, they give you an estimate that not correspond with the truth, so they get the payments and the customer stays waiting for whenever they are actually able to deliver it. I just want/need to receive my purchase as soon as possible. Thank you.Business Response

Well, they didnt say anything different. As I said, we bought the appliances back in March and we were told we would been receiving it around May/June, and now it has been postponed for the 2nd time for middle of August. We are willing to wait because all the other options they gave us wont arrive in a month (thats what they say), and if they postpone , it will be a longer wait than for the ones we picked. So, I guess it didnt help anyways. Thank you.Customer Answer

On June 24,2024 we purchased a Midea refrigerator from Brandsmart in *********** ga that came with a $100.00 rebate. At the time of purchase the salesman ************************* said Brandsmart would contact us via mail for the information regarding the rebate. I contacted Brandsmart today and learned there was a form to be filled out before the rebate was to be issued. We paid for Brandsmart to deliver, install, and remove the existing faulty Refrigeratot. We never received a receipt as we left the store that day and made payment over the phone via debit card the same day. We later learned the driver left our receipt assuming with our tenant.We buy a lot of appliances with Brandsmart, and for the most part always happy. We just want our $100.00 rebate.

Complaint: 21982164
We are a property management company that purchased in December a Midea refrigerator, - whirlpool oven, that's brand smart delivered and installed in 1 of our tenants home. When we asked about the ****** rebate ******* stated the paid invoice would have the model-serial number and we could file the rebate online. After we paid for appliances in store and got home we noticed there was a model of the refrigerator but not the serial number we needed. We are a management company We do not have access to aquire the serial number in tenants home. We feel we were mislead information to complete the sale, and we're never going to recover the rebate. We buy often from ******, and would just like our 100 rebate issued back to our card.

Ms. ***** ******, attached is the invoice we purchased on 12/26/2024, not on 07/12/2024..Yes we had this same identical problem back in July. When your dishonest salesman pushed the Midea refrigerator AGAIN on us we explained we couldn't get the last rebate because we needed the serial# off the unit. He stated he would have the installers text a pic of the serial # so we could file the rebate online. We buy a lot of appliances from BS, and can not believe a word the salespeople say. We just want our rebate. Thank uBusiness Response

I placed an online order with BrandsMartUSA.com on 9/25/23. I'm having a whole house Reno and shortly after placing this order I learned the work needed on my home would be much more extensive. I postponed my delivery until 5/25/24. During this time frame the model I really wanted which was out of stock when I placed the order came back in stock. As they were the same price, I requested the model number be changed which the delivery manager said wouldn't be a problem. I received a text, an email and an automated call to confirm my delivery. I was also told I would receive a call when the delivery driver was 30 minutes away from my location. I received no phone call and contacted them at which time I was advised that my item was not on the truck due to it being a "miss count". That means it showed in the system but couldn't be found in the ******* warehouse. I asked why at no point did someone not call to advise me of this? I was told they were just the person taking the call and didn't know why. I asked to speak to a Mgr. *****(?) the Mgr apologized, said he would have it transferred up from *******, and delivered the very next Saturday which didn't happen and again i had to call THEM to find this out. I spoke to another Mgr **** who assured me that he was going to go out on the warehouse floor, place my name on the refrigerator and ensure it was transferred to *******. He went as far as to say that he'd call me to confirm this had been done. Needless to say, i never heard from him and you guessed it, when i received the call that my delivery would be made in 30 minutes but had to again initiate a call to them because it wasn't there an hour later, i was again told it wasn't on the truck, wasn't in stock, they said "I don't know how you could've gotten a call" sarcastically as if i was lying, never apologized for my inconvenience and hung up on me when i asked to speak to a Mgr. Those were just a few examples. Total failed deliveries: 5/25, 6/15, 6/29 and 7/6.Business Response

I purchased a washing machine from Brandsmart USA and requested delivery service through this company. On April 29, my washing machine was delivered, and I was not aware that the delivery guys placed the packaging to include Styrofoam, cardboard and plastic wrappings at the opposite entrance of my building, instead of placing it in the large trash cans provided. I live in a housing community with strict rules and regulations, loitering Is prohibited. On May 2nd Photos were obtained by the *** after residents made several complaints. The trash was identified as belonging to me because the shipping label from the washing machine was still on the plastic wrappings. I was notified of a hearing on May 21. I attended the hearing which was held on June 12 and I was notified of these findings, presented with the photos of the evidence as well as fined $200 for leaving trash on the property. I immediately went to Brandsmart USA with my complaint and spoke with a manager *****************************, who agreed this should not be my responsibility to pay and stated he would assist In helping me obtain the $200 to cover the fine amount from the delivery company. I have provided pictures, the actual fine documentation, and have had no assistance since in obtaining the funds to pay this fine, which is due July 8. I have made several attempts to contact the manager and even speak to other **** managers on this topic. They continue to not take my calls Or state it is not their responsibility. I have had no luck in any management Brandsmart. Im only seeking To be given the $200 that is required to pay this fine due to them loitering on the property. Furthermore, I am shocked at the actions of the delivery company to leave large amount of trash on any lawn or building property for which they deliver items, these actions are unacceptable especially when trash cans are available to dispose of these items if necessary.Business Response
