On June 17th I received a defective sectional from Overstock.com. I immediately called them and sent them pictures. The parts do not fit together, the tufting on each piece does not match and the color of each piece varies. I was promised resolution within 3 days. I have called and spoken with numerous agents and supervisors since that time. No one has helped me. At first I asked for a simple replacement sectional. Now I want a full refund. I have spend almost a month without a living room sectional because overstock does not treat their ****************************** with the courtesy they deserve. I keep getting told that the supervisor will call me and they never do. I want a full refund and for them to pick up this broken couchBusiness response

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a recent purchase experience with Bed Bath & Beyond, facilitated through Overstock, concerning a Joseph Joseph Laundry Hamper. On June 23rd, I purchased a Joseph Joseph Laundry Hamper from Bed Bath & Beyond listing . Upon receiving the item, I was dismayed to discover that the product was used and came with several missing parts, rendering it unusable. The packaging was clearly damaged and resealed, indicating that this was not a new product as advertised. There was blood on the instructions. I contacted Bed Bath & Beyond's customer service to initiate a return and request a replacement or refund. Unfortunately, my experience with their customer service has been incredibly frustrating and disappointing. Despite multiple attempts to reach out via phone and email, I have encountered long wait times, unhelpful responses, and a lack of accountability from their representatives. They have been unable to provide a satisfactory resolution or timeline for addressing this issue. They offred ma refund without return, then with return, then no refund, and now I have to wait for UPS to deliver the return to a company that said no guarantee I will get a refund. As a consumer, I believe it is unacceptable to receive a used product with missing parts when purchasing a new item, especially from rBed Bath & Beyond. I have attempted to resolve this matter directly with the companies involved, but their customer service and failure to uphold their advertised standards have left me with no choice but to escalate this complaint to your organization. I kindly request your assistance in facilitating a resolution to this matter. Specifically, I am seeking: A full refund of the purchase price for the defective product. Attached to this message are copies of my purchase receipt, correspondence with Bed Bath & Beyond, and any other relevant documentation that may assist in your investigation.Business response

To Whom It May Concern:

No information was found where the customer was told they would not get a refund.
Returns are processed within 3-5 business days of the return reaching the warehouse. An emails will be sent to the customer once the return is completed.

I have unsubscribed from Bed Bath and Beyond emails multiple times, but I am still receiving emails. When I called the business, I was informed that there is no way to unsubscribe from emails. They would have to delete my account. I advised the ***************************** service rep that I didn't want to delete my account. I asked why there was an unsubscribe link if there is no way to unsubscribe from emails. The rep did not have an answer. I feel it is fraudulent to put an unsubscribe link on company emails with no intention to remove customers from the email list. I would like to be unsubscribed to this company's emails per my numerous requests, and I would like them to honor each *****************************'s request that also clicks on the unsubscribe link.Business response

I bought Outdoor 16'x12'ft Pergola Pull-Down (Gray) and paid $3602.29 on May 30th Order number ********* - after calling Bed-Bath & Beyond (Overstock) so many times the customer services rep on first 3 calls stated Pergola will ship between June 16 and 26th then after June 20th they said they don't have pergola in stock and actually when they sold the pergola they did not have any Gray color Pergola in Stock that we purchased. I asked the rep why would they take orders if it was out of stock and keep the money for almost a month. The customer service rep promised me that she will ask the backend team/seller and get back to me - I never heard from anyone on the Pergola shipping date and cannot get any body to help. This is a SCAM that Bed-Bath& Beyond doing with customers. My order receipt is attached.Business response

Date of purchase: 6/16/2024 Placed by *************** 1. Assembly instructions for the bed frame were extremely poor. Despite indicating an estimated assembly time of one hour, it took us almost ten hours due to the complicated design and unclear directions.During assembly, my father-in-law, who is 60, has diabetes, and has had bypass surgery, sustained a serious injury. Due to unclear instructions, the headboard fell on his leg, causing a deep cut on his toenail. He experienced uncontrolled bleeding for 1.5 hours, fainted, and had a blackout. We took him to a nearby ER at 1 am.He is visiting the *** from India for three months without insurance, so we went to a public hospital. At the *** he needed surgery to remove the toenail and receive stitches, a painful procedure that caused significant distress for our family. He is now bedridden for a week, and doctors said the nail will grow back in six months but will be distorted, effectively ruining his visit.2. Two large brown insects emerged from one of the wooden pieces, raising concerns about the product's quality and safety.3. A design flaw: the support legs are too short, making the bed frame unstable and unsafe.Given these issues, I request the following:1. A full refund for the bed frame, with Bed ***************************** arranging for its pickup.2. Compensation for the distress and inconvenience caused by the incident, considering the impact on my father-in-laws health and our familys experience.3. Assurance that these issues will be addressed to prevent similar occurrences in the future.Business response

I ordered a dining table on February 16, 2024, from the Bed Bath & Beyond website (****************************************************************************************************************************************). I paid $1202.82 for this order. Once I received the table, I noticed that the size and finish of the table were different from the website description. I received a glossy table, while the website description specified a modern matte finish. According to the website, the width was supposed to be 42.5", but the width of the table I received is around 38". I contacted customer service a couple of times, but they haven't responded to me yet. The agents I spoke to said that this should be resolved by their specialist team, but they have not been responsive. This is a bulky item, and I need Bed Bath & Beyond to pick it up for return, but it has been almost four months without a response to my issues.Business response
07/03/2024
To Whom It May Concern:
The customer is being assisted by a customer service agent with Bed Bath and Beyond. The customer has been sent the paperwork for the carrier that will be picking up the table and returning it at no cost to the customer.
As soon as the appointment has been arranged between the customer and the carrier and the pickup has taken place the customer will receive a refund. It will be placed on the customer’s method of payment. Refunds are typically posted to the customer’s account within 3-5 business days. The time it takes for this to reflect on the customer’s account is dependent upon their financial institution.

I ordered a mattress a couple weeks ago, I got a lumpy mattress and it looked like a manufacturing defect. I reached out to them initially and they said I need to provide pictures which I did, I bought a shipping insurance. Now, theyre saying I need to deal with them because I bought it. I got the package and the insurance contract clearly states that only shipping related damages are cover. I do not understand how the agents writing those email cannot see what type of insurance it is and how clearly they dont want to make it right. I reached out to extend and they said only shipping related incidents are covered and since I got the order, the insurance is no longer valid. I did not get the denial number nor any further communication they wanted. I would like to get a refund at this point and I am not providing any more info because I wasted enough time on this as is. Please give me my money back since I purchased another mattress. That lumpy mattress I got is clearly a manufacturer it defect and Bed Bath and Beyond is denying to make it right. Terrible experience all around.Business response
