I purchased an outdoor furniture set and assembly on December 7, 2021 Wayfair Order #**********. The furniture is falling apart and the cushions have mold on them despite description of water resistance and weather proof. I spoke to *******, a supervisor working out of ***** and she says she cannot help me because the warranty is only for 90 days. But I think this is unreasonable and unfair for this purchase.Business Response

I purchased outdoor patio furniture with an umbrella and a base for the umbrella , we had problems with the payment method and didnt think it went threw 2 days later I got a email stating two things shipped and I went onto my account and realized than it did go threw. I called Wayfair immediately due to my account having my old address on file . They were able to change my patio set to my new address but could not change the outdoor rug , umbrella or the umbrella base . I was told to wait until it got delivered to the wrong address and Wayfair would send replacements to my current home address . So as these items got delivered Wayfair replaced the umbrella and outdoor rug . We were still waiting for the base . Now my account is over at the resolution department and they refuse to help me or replace or refund . After Wayfair said they would I have contacted purlator as requested from this department but was told I needed to contact Wayfair as its been a month . They refuse to help me and I already paid for this item and do not have it in my possession . Im asking for a replacement to my actual home address and they refuse . What do I do now because I paid and they wont help me with the umbrella base . Thanks For your timeBusiness Response

To Whom It May ****************** sincerely apologize for the trouble the customer experienced with their order. We strive to ensure all orders are successfully filled and delivered to the satisfaction of our customers.
For customers who have multiple issues with their deliveries, we advise the customer to dispute the charges with their financial institution. Additionally, we do recommend for customers who have any ongoing delivery issues exploring options such as having orders sent to a neighbor/family member, using the signature requirement options ********* offer, having packages held at a local ***** and *********** points or signing up for ***** delivery manager or *** my choice to be able to make the necessary changes with their shipment.
Once an item ships, we are unable to request an address change for a small parcel item. Once an item is labeled and palletized for pick-up, we are unable to request the address change on it. Since this item was already in the shipping process, an address change was unable to be requested. Since this shipped to the address submitted when the order was placed, we are not able to issue a replacement or a refund.

I have ordered a bathroom vanity from wayfair. When it came in the whole thing was damaged. It was damaged to the point you cant even use it. I will provide photos below. I also emailed wayfair multiple times with no answer. I spoke on the phone a few times and they always refer me to the executive team. The executive team will keep sending me the same email stating I can no longer order from wayfair and they disregard my complaint. I tried to contact the ceo of wayfair with no response. I am down $1,400 because of an item that is unusable. I let them know the same day it came in that it was broken. I let them know that they can come pick it up since it is taking up to much room in my home for a broken piece. The vanity is still in the box with the marble top all broken. Still in the original packaging. I want a refund and return the product because wayfair wont even let me return it and they have a 30 day return policy they are not following.

We strive to provide our customers with the best shopping experience.

As you can see in the pictures the item I got is broken and unable to be used. My problem is wayfair wont let me return my damaged order. From the pictures you can see it is damaged to the point of no use. I dont care if I returned multiple items from before. This should not defeat the purpose of returning this damaged bathroom vanity. I have emailed there executive team multiple times with no answer but a generated message. My problem I want to return my item!

I ordered a console table on Sep 30. The item was delivered on Oct 5. The item came in a damaged box and the carrier advised that if they don't see the item inside due to damage that they still deliver the package. I decided to open it fully and assemble. The item had cracks and chips all over it as well as one leg not being able to lay flush to the base due to the damage. I contacted Wayfair by phone and was told to provide photos by email. Once the agent reviewed the photos and advised the shipping time for a replacement I decided to get a refund because I needed the item within my initial timeframe. I was told that I would get a refund and to watch out for my emails. I never received an email and had to call back AGAIN! The next agent said I have to wait on the supplier to email my before Wayfair will refund me. WHY AM I WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM A SUPPLIER AFTER ORDERING FROM WAYFAIR?! WHY AM I ASKED TO SUBMIT PHOTOS TO STILL HAVE TO WAIT?!! They will not provide me with the supplier email or directly and continue to suggest that I wait. I WANT MY MONEY BACK AND ILL BE SURE TO POST A REVIEW EVERYWHERE ON HOW WAYFAIR HANDLES DAMAGE ISSUES AND REFUNDS.Business Response

Wayfair, LLC family of brands including, but not limited to, Wayfair, Joss & Main, Allmodern, and Perigold do not provide consumers an option to opt-out of physical catalogs either via website, email or telephone if you call customer service. Despite attempts to remove myself from the mailing list, I continue to be assaulted with 3-4 catalogs quarterly despite not making a purchase through their family of brands. I do not have a way to remove myself from their postal mailing list despite the disinterest in their wares. I received verbal confirmation from Wayfair customer service on 10/6 that the only way to remove myself is to ask the post office to stop delivering the catalog to me- a "resolution" that absolves the company of responsibility since the catalog will still be sent.Business Response

I have filed a dispute with my financial institution about the matter and should not be responsible for a purchase that was shipped with a lizard on it. Please assist. I made numerous attempts to get assistance and Wayfair was unprofessional. I will not subject myself to further unprofessional behavior.

Wayfair advertised, and continues to advertise, their product (file cabinet) as "solid wood". https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/millwood-*******************************-****************************** They are not. They are laminated non-wood material significantly inferior in quality and value. Upon complaint (via website chat) on 09/22/2022, a discount of 15% was offered, accepted, and provided. Regardless, I did not receive what was advertised, expected, or desired. I would not have purchased this product if I knew it was not solid wood including the 15% discount. And as this is permanent home office furniture, this disappointment will remain the case for the foreseeable future.The customer service agent (who offered the discount), acknowledged the advertisement was false, and assured me the website would be updated expeditiously to preclude others from likewise being deceived. Attached is a screenshot of the relevant portion of the "chat". The Wayfair product website includes a customer review dated 11/12/2021 stating "Says it's solid wood, but it's not. It's made of particlecrap. Instructions are almost useless. NOTHING is flush. Would recommend as a gift to frustrate your worst enemy." https://www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/millwood-*******************************-****************************** The website has not been updated as of the time of this complaint (8:15pm EDT 10/5/22). Wayfair has received multiple customer notifications of the false advertisement dating back at least 11 months, and despite assurances to stop, they are continuing the deceptive practice.Business Response

On September 22, 2022, the customer notified us they received the delivery of the Luciele 2-Drawer Vertical Filing Cabinet that was not made of solid wood as listed on the website description.

I purchased two duvet (covers)? thinking they were duvets according to the photo that was provided. With tax and shipping, the purchase came to $34.87.The product(s) arrived in a box and once I saw the items, I was truly disappointed in the quality and the product overall, so I contacted the customer support for post-sales. I told them what the situation was and that I wanted to return the items. Returning the items is not the issue, they are willing to accept the returns. My issue is that I want a refund of $34.87 total, and I send them back or they can take them back freely, but the entire amount spent, $34.870 should be refunded. What they want to do is charge for just the duvet (not the shipping that I paid for, and to ship them back they want to deduct $6.87 from the price of the two duvets and refund that. I was going to offer to exchange the duvet for something else and pay the difference, plus the shipping, but after speaking with customer service, I don't want to do any business at all with Wayfair. If shipping was free, that would not be a problem, however, I paid for shipping, and I am responsible to shipping it back. Therefore, I feel that I should receive the $34.87 and I ship them these items back on my own or through customer service taking care of the shipping cost. Either way, I want a refund of $34.87Business Response

On August 23rd, 2022, I ordered a conference room table from Wayfair with delivery and assembly for a total of $1,585.00. I scheduled the delivery for September 12th, 2022. The delivery team showed up and struggled moving the table top. It fell off the truck when they attempted to put it on a dolly. They then refused to lift it when going through the delivery door. Luckily, it's a double door and we could open it to allow them to push it on the dolly. Once at the elevator, they again refused to pick it up. We have a freight elevator that isn't wider than our regular elevators, but has a taller ceiling so it had to be lifted and turned. They refused to do so. It's unclear if there was a language barrier issue. They asked us to call dispatch. We talked to him and the man said that it's considered an attempted delivery, we told him we disagreed, as the elevator is tall enough for the table top to fit. We couldn't force them to do anything so they left. We received an automatic generated email on September 16th saying that the table was being returned and they will refund the table only for $1,350.01 once they receive it. We still have not received that credit even though Wayfair has had the product the entire time. We also sent several emails to the contact on Wayfair's website and have not heard anything back (September 12th, 16th, and October 5th). We would like a full refund given that the issue is that the delivery team was insufficient and needed at least another member to lift it into the elevator. I've attached my emails.Customer Answer
