  Ordered a dining table, and when the item arrived it came severely damaged and broken. It is well beyond repair. I reached out to the company via their "contact customer support" form fill. Their phone number DOES NOT go to any human being, it just hangs up on you after a few minutes and says "please call again later." I can't get ahold of a human being on their chat either. I am requesting a FULL REFUND and not a replacement, as I don't want their productnor do I trust them at all.Attached you'll see the order I placed, the item took a long time to arrive, and when it did you can see how severly damaged it is. The company did reach out to me, offering a replacement, and that email came in at 2:00am my time, they have since disappeared again. I want a refund back on my original payment method, in the amount of $512.05

  I purchased a table from Hernest on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at 3:25pm (CST). Within 2 hours of purchasing the item, I realized that I made a mistake with the order and attempted to cancel the order by emailing the company directly *********************************** The email went unanswered, so I attempted to call the business three different times on Monday, September 16, 2024 at 12:25pm (CST), 2:42pm (CST), and 3:28pm (CST). Each time I called, I received a response that said "No one is available at this time" with no option to leave a voicemail. Then, at 2:28pm on Monday, September 16, 2024 at 2:28pm (CST) I received an email that the item has been shipped. When I review the cancellation policy, the company does not provide a full refund for items that have already been shipped. Given my multiple attempts to contact the business, I am seeking support from the *** in recouping my costs for this item that is no longer needed.

  Ordered an entertainment center from Hernest on 04/28/24. Said it would take 8 to 10 weeks to receive. Once I received the product it was damaged. Like it was dragged on the corners, and some of the nails were ripped out one of the boards. I emailed them the day I received it and sent pictures and told them of the problem. I requested a refund and to return the item. Since then its been about a week and a half of emails and calls and them giving me the run around. I even have a email from them saying as a gesture of goodwill they want to offer me $100 as a partial refund. I responded no I want a full refund, then they offered $303.90 as a 40% refund. Ive never dealt with a company that does this. I told them I want a full refund calling their customer service and they always say wait 24 hours but I hear nothing back. I believe this is a company based in ***** but the address for the company that I gave you is from the address that was on the product I received. They dont give an address on their website. There is a Reddit thread about people with similar problems with this company

  I ordered then requested cancellation (within 8 hours) of a vanity table. Their policy dictates orders can be canceled 24 hours from shipment notification. They ignored my attempts to cancel (I emailed, called, and used their WhatsApp account) and shipped the product 12 hours after my request. They shipped the product and then said they attempted to recall through ****** It wasn't. I have asked for return labels to ship back since they were at fault for shipping per their cancellation policy. They alternate between not answering their help line/WhatsApp/email or if you do get a live person they have to get manager approval (but it goes nowhere...no follow up). Several times the customer rep is in a loud place with music or chanting in background...it's very odd. The product itself seems like it's chock full of chemicals and they use inferior formaldehyde materials that are causing quite the odor in my home. I have asked multiple times for product to be refunded or return labels provided and they won't oblige. They have offered me a $30 discount and that's all. I'm fed up trying to get an answer from them. They are deliberate in making resolution impossible.

  I ordered the ****** 47" modern vanity on 11/29/2023 online for $418. It finally shipped January 3 ****. Unfortunately, when I opened the package I noticed that one of the drawer panels were broken and fiberglass dirty. I called their 24/7 customer service from their website. It continued to ring without answer. Then the answering machine said I should call later. Very unprofessional. Doesn't seem like a legit business based on the answering machine
