  More info

  My family went in on march 4 got a offer made by ***** for an extra warranty besides the manufacturer warranty and free rug of $1127 if my purchase was made by the end of the business day, I went back in and paid $100 deposit later that day they had me sign the paperwork at the bottom where they circled it one on the left because they only had blue in the store and they were ordering black for me, and the other was for the deposit because they didn’t give me a cash register receipt, because my mom was coming the next morning to pay the balance so it could be ordered, so they gave her the receipt from the cash register and then placed the order, fast forward they brought the furniture unboxed it then unwrapped this was at the end of the day they were late delivering I asked why the fabric looked like it was to big and the back looked off his answer was didn’t you see us unpacked it if you have any questions or concerns call the store, I did however could not get any help because it was the end of the day, called next business day explained the problem his answer was I will send some one to staple it, my response was no this is sopos to be brand new furniture it should not need to be stapled, just swap it out for another one, called again I was told it’s on back order for a year went to the store twice he was always busy then I was told all furniture has some kind of defects the more I called the more excuses I received my last time going into the store was about a week later when I asked about the warranties or exchanging it for something else I was asked to leave the store and decided to call my credit card which has been a nightmare they literally lied , they didn’t act in good faith and when I turned the furniture over to take pictures it was disgusting unbelievable and unacceptable there were so many restapled holes and dirty oversized material broken back I realized this was used furniture being sold as brand new that’s against the law not allowe in the store

  To whom This May Concern,

  Payless 4 Furniture, does not sell used furniture and everything is brand new and leaves our store in 100% condition and is fully inspected prior to leaving our warehouse. In the case of ****** she took everything brand new and in "good condition" and was signed for as such by the customer. ****** furniture has denied any sort of manufacture claim because they were not able to find anything on her product that would've been caused by manufacture flaws. ***** has also tried to dispute this transaction with her credit card and we provided supportive information to them and she lost her case to them. At this point it looks like ***** is trying to receive free product without paying, which also explains the false credit card dispute she filed 1 month after having the products delivered in "good condition" & "new" and was signed for as such. We are asking for this case to be closed and for the customer to please stop making false claims about our store. Payless 4 Furniture, holds high standards and strives to being #1 Ashley Authorized Outlet Store in Columbus Ohio and we care about customer service and making customers happy, but in the case of ***** our hands are pretty much tied.  Thank You!

  Payless stop trying to make yourself look like the victim, if you were doing something out of courtesy it would not have taken 6 months an me filing All these complaints against you, also stop trying to slander my name you got your money before you delivered this damaged used furniture, and Yes I did feel I should receive some of my money back for all this inconvenience and as far as the offer I Never rejected the offer, I haven’t heard from you since all nine calls so what are you waiting for, as far as me providing you with a copy of my driver license I will not be doing that and as far I me giving any written statement the only thing I will do is sign when you deliver the BRAND NEW FURNITURE, so with that being said I consider this still open and when you have made good on your offer, stop with all the smoke signals and keep your word. BBB I ask that you keep this claim open until they have delivered New Furniture and I am able to provide you BBB with a statement as such along with pictures and a  receipt of such, since it’s an act of courtesy Payless is starting.

  I ordered furniture from Payless for furniture on October 14, 2023. As of today they try to deliver the wrong colour of the furniture. The invoice numbers are not matching. The model number is not matching. The colour I requested is pearl white they attempted to deliver light gray. They delivery guys said this is not the first time this has happened. ****** is not trying to fix the issue but insists that this is what I ordered and that I’m stuck with it. I contacted the finance department to stop all payments and for my other payment to be refunded. He then tells the delivery guys to leave the furniture at my door..

  Hello,

  To whom it may concern

  The customer ****** ********, came into our store looking for a Pearl sectional that she has seen online and was asking if we were able to get the sectional for her. Once reviewing the color choice she was asking for, we advised her that we are unable to place an order for the Pearl white option that she was looking for. She then proceeded to our special order Kiosk and found the exact sectional she wanted but in a light grey. She then asked us to place the order on the Ivory (Light Grey) version of that sectional and stated "she will make it work". We then proceeded in asking her if she was positive thats what she wanted to order, because once we placed a special order we are unable to cancel or exchange the products because the ****** warehouse does not take special orders back and its store policy. She stated she was positive and thats what she wanted and placed an order for the (light grey Ivory color #*******)  as listed on the invoice she signed and agreed to. Unfortunately, due to it being a special order and not a product Payless 4 Furniture typically carries in stock, we are unable to exchange or return the sectional and that is the agreement customer signed on the bottom of her invoice and was told verbally as well. Customer received products in good condition as well and that was also signed by the customer as well.   Uploaded is the invoice that the customer signed.  About the delivery concern, customer paid for delivery and thats what was provided in a very professional manner and customer received what she paid for.

  More info

  I purchased a sectional from the 1881 Channingway Payless Furniture location in August 2020 for the amount of $1,032. They were notified within 8 months after via email and phone that the sectional was sinking in/has bad springs. It's basically unusable after not even a year. I was never given any warranty information at the time if purchase nor have they returned any calls or emails about the issue. The issue has been swept under the rug. I know ****** Furniture has a five year warranty on springs. At the least i would like the cushions restuffed and a repair tech to replace the springs. Was I sold a floor model, was I sold a used couch?, I don't know because no one answers my calls when I ask for a manager. It's not right after a year that I should be expericing these issues. I hope this matter can be fixed in a timely manner.

  BBB called business and spoke to manager, ***** *******, who said they have ordered another piece for the consumer's sofa, but ****** is  behind in shipping. He will give the consumer a call to update him and told BBB they will take care of their customer.

  The attached screen grab shows there is a 5 year warranty on springs. 

  ****** Furniture and Payless are well known for poor and shady business practices. 

  All i am asking for is a callback from either of them and an email saying they will own up to their inferior products and honor their warranty. 

  I reached out to both during the 8th month..and its been crickets since then

  Hello,

  Payless 4 Furniture is not apart of or affiliated

  with the location that this customer is disputing. This dispute is going to the  wrong business and Payless 4 Furniture is not apart or has ever been affiliated with Payless Furniture off channyingway. We are also 2 complete separate business names. We are Payless 4 Furniture, they are Payless Furniture and people get us confused all the time. Please direct this complaint to the proper store.
