      On December 21, 2023, Value City Furniture (VCF) personnel came to my home to deliver furniture. Upon arrival, VCF's personnel scratched and damaged my new hardwood floors that were installed less than one month prior to the delivery. After they damaged the floors, they proceeded to threaten my husband with violence. We contacted the store and were told to provide three estimates of the damage. We did so at their request and now they refuse to pay for the damage.

      I am rejecting this response because:  It has been close to two months since the incident occurred.  Value City is now asking for additional time when we have provided everything they asked for in 2023.  I am unsure why additional time is required when we submitted the three estimates you requested.  At this point, we feel as if they are playing games with us and our home continues to be in disrepair due to their carelessness and unwillingness to accept responsibility for the damage they caused. As such immediate action is demanded.

      I had delivery of a 3-piece sectional and accent chair on Saturday, 1/27/24. Before attempting to bring the furniture into my home, the lead looked at my family room floor, and he said that I would have to sign a waiver because I have "hard wood flooring." I told him it was vinyl, and he said that I still had to sign. Nothing else was mentioned except the flooring that looked like wood. I signed a blank tablet having consented to delivery in the room with wood-looking flooring, and nothing else. The delivery was hurried and resulted in damage to the trim in my hallway that I noticed the next morning. I went to Value City on Sun, 1/28/23, to report what happened with photos. I spoke with Tonya and Mandy at the Value City in Florence, KY. Today, I received a voicemail from "******" who began to read delivery notes stating that I understood and consented to not claim "any" damages during my delivery. I told him that a verbal consent and signature was presented by the gentleman addressing the floor and nothing else. He began to read to me the "waiver" that I allegedly signed. There was no such explanation, and I had never heard or seen the words before. There was no informed consent with the exception of the flooring. Apparently, the signature for the floor was then attached to an overall waiver of liability that I did not consent to or even know about. How dishonest is it to misrepresent a consent to waive damage claims for flooring and then attach it to a general waiver of liability. I am unsure where ****** is located or his title, but surely, Value City does not support improper use of a customer's signature to a document that was not explained or shown and is entirely different. The delivery notes are not factual, and the consent is not valid. I am asking that the damages to my trim be repaired. Thank you for your help.

      Dear Ms. *******,

      Thank you for contacting us and sharing your feedback and concerns. We do apologize if there has been any confusion regarding the completion of your delivery. Based on the information provided we did investigate the requested issue to see how we can best assist you; we do see you signed a waiver stating you agreed to if any damages were done to the home or furniture Value City Furniture, or the third party would not be held responsible. Due to this waiver being signed all claims have been denied and we are unable to proceed with your request at this time.

      If you have any additional questions, please feel free to respond to this email or call our Customer Care Center at ###-###-####. Our office is open from 9am – 7pm EST Monday through Friday and Saturday 9am-6pm EST.

      I am rejecting this response because: The response does not address the signature made on a blank tablet and then added to a document. As stated previously, the contractor had not even attempted to bring the furniture into my home. He arrived, and I took him to the family room. He stated that because of my "wood floor," I would need to sign for them to bring the furniture in. I signed what I understood to be a release for my floor and only my floor. I have attached a copy of the fraudulent waiver of liability (WOL) that the contractor then added my signature addressing the floor which I told him was actually vinyl. There was no discussion re: full and complete WOL for anything other than my flooring in one room. It is conceivable that Value City does not know of this practice by their contractor or delivery company. However, they should care that someone that they work with has entered notes and added a customer's signature to a document that was not viewed or discussed in writing or verbally with the customer. That is fraud. I did not hire the delivery company, and they did not treat my home as if it were their own. I would like to see a response from Value City addressing my valid claim that the waiver is being used to deny the damage claim when my signature was simply moved onto a document that I knew nothing about. Why did I not ask questions one may ask. I understood that my signature was related exclusively to the floor in my family room and nothing else. I wish I had video taped this delivery. Value City and your consumers would be in shock.

      I have also added a screenprint of the Value City homepage which clearly indicates that this company is NOT BBB Accredited and has an overall customer review rating of 1.17/5. I wish I had viewed this prior to walking into a Value City Furniture store. If you value your customer/consumer over your business contract with this unethical delivery company, you will make this right by repairing the damages to the wood trim. There is no paper trail as there was no paper exchanged at the time of this delivery. My signature was simply and unethically added to a document that was only known by the contractor, not me. This is not informed consent, and it is clearly dishonest.

      Dear Ms. *******,

      As we do understand your complaint regarding the waiver not being valid however, the waiver signed specifically states that we would not be liable for any issues that occurred during delivery. The waiver specifically states we would not be liable for any damages done to the home or furniture in the case any damages may occur. We do apologize for your experience, and we do understand your frustration, but it is the consumer's responsibility to understand and read the terms and conditions of what they are signing prior to signing. We have attached the original waiver and delivery receipt both signed at the time of delivery.

      If you have any additional questions, please feel free to respond to this email or call our Customer Care Center at ###-###-####. Our office is open from 9am – 7pm EST Monday through Friday and Saturday 9am-6pm EST.

      Thank you for your response, but you are not addressing the unethical behavior demonstrated by your contracted delivery partner. My understanding of what I signed was clearly related to what your contractor told me: I signed to allow delivery of the furniture into a family room that had flooring that "looked like wood" but was in fact vinyl. Nothing else was discussed or read. I am not frustrated that I signed something that I thought was discussed. I am disappointed at your response that does not address the use of my signature on a document that was NOT presented to me at all. I was deceived by your contractor who took my signature and literally placed it on a document that was NOT disclosed to me. The fraudulent behavior is related to this unethical and dishonest use of my signature without my consent. You can't place the responsibility on your customer who signed a tablet because of a floor that was then added to a "general waiver" by the contractor. Clearly, I wish I had not walked into a Value City furniture store. This is not because of the issues with my delivery. It is because Value City is supporting a contractor that deceived a customer into signing a general waiver when the signature was allegedly needed because of my floor. This is what I signed and not a general waiver. No one should have the right to take a person's signature and copy it onto an entirely different document. That is exactly what happened here.

      I don't know how many different ways I can say the same thing about the fraudulent use of my signature. If the contractor had actually discussed the waiver honestly and in its entirety, I would NOT have signed. What customer would give a free pass for a delivery company to damage whatever they wanted to in order to complete a delivery. Certainly, not a homeowner who has worked very hard to get where she is today. Unfortunately, I am not surprised that there was no comment on the poor rating of Value City that I submitted in my last rebuttal. That is not something you want to bring attention to for obviously reason.

      I ordered a sectional sofa online on 1/1/2024, with a set delivery of 1/25/2024. On 1/24/2024, I as called and advised that one piece of my sectional was not in the order, and that it would be delayed. The delivery was rescheduled for 2/7/2024, 6 weeks after order. I reached out to customer service to ask for a discount for the item due the extreme delay and the last minute notice that my complete order wouldn't be delivered on the set date. I was advised that because they advised me of the delay, that they couldn't discount the item, and that all delivery is tentative. Which is crazy, being that I'm being charged for the item as of 1/1/2024.

      We sincerely apologize for the delays you have experienced and want to assure you that we are diligently working to expedite the delivery of your item. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we are committed to resolving your concerns with the utmost care and attention.

      Currently, the tentative date for the delivery of your item is set for 02/07/2024. However, please be advised that this date is subject to change due to factors such as manufacturer distribution and transportation logistics.

We aim to keep you informed with the most accurate information available to us.

      Please note that, regrettably, American Signature Furniture is unable to offer compensation for delays originating from the manufacturer currently.

      We apologize once again for any inconvenience this situation may have caused you. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our corporate Customer Care team at ###-###-####. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

      I am paying currently for the full cost of the furniture, even though I do not have the complete order, and at this point it will be 6 weeks after my order date when I recieve the full order.  However, the interest for the full order is still compounding, and my balance shows the full order amount due, and not an adjusted order amount.  Had I known it would be this much of a delay. I would have purchased from another store, such as Rooms to Go, where I have NEVER had a 6 week delay in delivery.  Lesson Learned. This is unacceptable.

      We ordered a couch from Value City Furniture on November 27th 2023, with a delivery date of January 27th, 2024. We received two confirmation phone calls for delivery one on Wednesday January 24, 2024 and another on Thursday January 25, 2024. This morning we received a call that they would only be delivering half of the couch and the other half would be shipping in April of 2024. We spoke to corporate at Value City Furniture and they told us that we could receive a small loaner love seat which is less than ideal for a family of 5, or half of our couch and the other half in April. We asked to speak to a manager and the representative stated we wouldn't hear from one between 24-48 hours. We financed this couch and have already paid 2 monthly payments. The first payment was on January 5th for $250.00. The second payment was for $250.00 on January 16th, 2024.

      Subject: Formal Complaint - Value City Furniture Dear Better Business Bureau, I am submitting a formal complaint against Value City Furniture concerning an unresolved matter related to a transaction on August 22, 2020, amounting to $1951.95. The issue revolves around a pricing discrepancy during the payment process, leading to an erroneous charge. Despite Value City Furniture's cooperation in processing an in-store refund, the protracted dispute arises from ********'s failure to correctly reflect the refund in my account. This has resulted in a refusal by ******** to return my money, causing considerable financial strain. In addition, my repeated attempts to seek assistance from Value City Furniture's store directly have gone unanswered. Despite reaching out to the Dispute Team at Value City Furniture and the President of ********, the lack of responsiveness and assistance is deeply concerning. I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter, urging Value City Furniture to address the refund discrepancy and improve their communication channels. The financial strain and unresponsiveness further emphasize the need for prompt resolution. Thank you for your detailed consideration of this formal complaint. ,

      While we understand your frustrations, your complaint while valid, will be with ********/******** ******* on any refund issues on their end.
      In the complaint, you stated the invoice was placed on 8/22/2020 for the amount of $1951.95, we do not show this.
      Below is a breakdown of the invoice and transactions, on our end:

      There was a refund of $150.00 on 9/30/2020.
      There was a refund of $159.00 on 110/2/2020.

      We purchased mattresses from value city furniture. Shortly after the purchase of the mattresses, one sank in and had body-sized dents in it. The springs/coils became evident and could be felt when laying on the mattress. We contacted the company on numerous occasions in order to have them replace the mattress under warranty and the original was defective and did not hold up as it should have. We provided photos of the mattress in numerous emails. In addition to the emails we called. Months later, they finally sent Chris, a technician out to verify the defect. He photographed it and confirmed that it was defective. He advised that he’d write it up so that it would be replaced. This was in November, approximately the 7th? We called multiple times afterwards to confirm when the mattress would be replaced and when could we expect a new one. Each time, the representative on the phone would advise that she knew nothing about what was going on and advised that she’d look into it with another department and call us right back… Although she rarely did and the times that she did, it would be to say that no one knows anything and that the paperwork wasn’t turned in from Chris, so they’re looking further into it. This has gone on long enough. We’re tired, we’re frustrated, and we just want our mattress replaced. We called Chris and he advised that he did his part and that the rest is on the office team to order the mattress and take it from there. They’re horribly unorganized, unprofessional, and scammers who promise something that they really don’t stand by or follow through with.

      The bed frame I brought from them is not what they are displaying. The material is not durable and the bed frame makes noises. The repairman came twice. The first time he came the bed mattress was broken due to how it was delivered. Then it still made it noise and he stated that that how it’s supposed to be. The bed is a new bed and should not be making noises. I would like for another repairman to come since I believe they do not want to fix it. This is not acceptable in anyway. We spend so much money on this bed. The manager stated that the bed in the showroom makes the same noise. How are you going to have a product that deflected in the showroom. If I knew that it was going to make a sound I would buy it. Who would want to have a bed that makes noises?

      Dear ******,

      We greatly appreciate your cooperation in providing us with the necessary information to locate your order. Rest assured, we are fully committed to addressing your concerns.

      Following your recent service appointment, our technician has thoroughly inspected the bed assembly and the individual components. Regrettably, no defect in workmanship or manufacturing of the parts was identified. According to the detailed service notes provided by the technician, the noise you are experiencing is attributed to friction and imperfect contact with a bare wood floor.

      As there is no inherent defect in the item itself, Value City Furniture is unable to rectify this issue. We understand the inconvenience this may cause and sincerely apologize for any disruption to your experience.

      We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any further questions or concerns, you may contact our corporate Customer Care at ************.

      Sincerely,

      Our sales representative told us we had several days to cancel our order if the furniture measurements did not work for our home, because the order was custom and the manufacturer only worked on custom orders once a month, the furniture would not even be in production yet. We called to cancel as the furniture will not fit, and were told we had to pay $1000.00 to do so. That was never discussed with us. We spent $5,100.00 on new furniture at Value City. They want to charge us a fee to cancel, and that is completely unethical. Please help us resolve this matter, cancel our order, and get our money back without having to pay them $1,000.00 for nothing. Thank you.
