Less the 8 months ago I purchased a dining room set and it was just problems since day one. The day of the delivery the 2 men that did the delivery left my things in the garage because one of their employees had a hurt back. Why would you even send someone who can't do their job for this service. My husband had to come home form work and bring the table set upstairs and set and assemble it. Mind you we paid for this! We called and we did explain and we did get a refund. Ok nice.
About 3 months ago we found that the table top was leaving strikes and paint was coming off every time we cleaned it. I tried every thing to clean the top with the same result. While cleaning we found that the edge of the table was splitting. I called the goof proof that I purchased and he "repaired" it. It is so noticeable and a S****** job! Just this pass 2 weeks we notice that the table had two big bubbles. I called Bob's because I just have had enough. I was given the manufacture email to send some picture and Bob's Discount Furniture said it was water damage and if I had goof proof to call them and tell them about the accident. Basically telling them a lie! There no accident! We don't use the table much and I have had all this happen. I went to Bob's store where I purchased the table and the general manager helped me get a number to see if they can further assist me. I called and had a tech come out. The tech was rude from the beginning saying he doesn't do this kind of work and there was nothing he can do because there is water damage. Like how is it water damage. The bubbles are in two different spots and if that was the case it would be all in the same dame area. Who in this world would buy a table to cover it up! That was his suggestion! Mind you if I wanted to I will call goof proof and claim it was damage and issue resolved. But the moral of the story is Bob's has bad service and buying insurance is a scam. I should have known this because this has happened before. Oh and when I spoke with the lady today she told me I should have gotten a care kit for purchasing the goof proof insurance. Really was I now. I will like to know where that kit is and maybe I wouldn't have to be dealing with all this mess! Now i'm left $2,700 short with a table that is an eye soar to look at! You better believe I will not let this happen to me ever again!
It all started in July... I bought my first set of furniture. Sale person was kind, at first, then when my set didn't get deliver on the dated he stated, I called the store and spoke with him. He stated will I do not get paid until you get your furniture, I stated will you took my money the same day. Not my issue. When can I get my furniture and it would of been nice to get a phone call stating it wouldn't be coming so I didn't sit home all day.
2nd problem the furniture came after i called the customer service people some nice some not so nice. Bob's Discount Furniture told me it will be another week or two.
Furniture come in, I asked the driver to set it, he said no he couldn't I did not have that service, I said yes I did,,, they didn't speak English so very hard to understand each other. I put it together, and it was damaged, frame is broken on the couch, and the chair was just a mess from the stitching not correct to broke where the noise when you sat on it was so loud. I went to Bob's store explained the whole thing to the manager Frank who is awesome in my eye.
They schedule a time for someone to come out and look at it. Again I wait in all day to get a phone call at Three in the afternoon that the guy had an emergency at his his and wasn't coming. Again all day waiting on them. Now four days I missed from work, still have broken furniture and dealing with rude people
So, They finial state they are refunding me my money to find out it is store credit, Okay so I pick out a new set them I do not want the same people delivering it I want some one else because they did not know what they where doing. Okay all set, nope!
They come to deliver the next set, guess what same guys and they go to put this one together and they brake the set.
I then tell them take it back. Well they don't have room on truck so they schedule a delivery truck to pick it up the next week, but it wasn't scheduled correctly so again another day waiting on bob's. 4 days so I am fighting with another manager to get this piece of junk out of my house and give me my money back.
So they tell me they will work around my schedule well they do not.
I was scheduled for first stop today to have pick up the couch, nope was the 4th so they lied.
It has been a nightmare since July, and I still waiting on my money to be refunded.
DO NOT EVER BUY FROM THEM
I paid for white glove delivery- one of the chairs was completely damaged. We were told they'd send someone to exchange it for a new chair. Fine, whatever. We didn't complain- things happen. No one contacted us as promised, so after HOURS (yes, literally hours) of trying to get ahold of someone and repeatedly getting disconnected the representative told me that Bob's Discount Furniture had no record of any damages and offered a "discount" off of the completely unusable chair. I told him I ordered new furniture and I wanted new furniture. Then he said he could send someone to "fix" the chair and that if it wasn't able to be fixed the repair person would swap it with a new one. This is completely ridiculous, but we said fine and made the appointment because I didn't have any time left in the day to argue about it.
The repair person shows up and argues with my husband that he can fix the chair. They take the cardboard off and the chair is literally destroyed, as we told them initially. He then made my husband talk to customer service. They are going to send a new chair to my home, which is back ordered for at least another month. Oh, and the chair will arrive unassembled, so we will have to make ANOTHER appointment to have someone come and put it together.
Bob's customer service is a nightmare- it may even be worse than Comcast, and we all know how Comcast is. If you're looking for new furniture and trying to save a little money by choosing Bob's- don't! It's not worth it.
We ordered a sectional, bed frame, dresser, dining room set and new rug for our new apartment. Our delivery window was 10am to 1pm for March 6th. We explained to our salesman at Bob's that we were unable to even get into our apartment until at least 10am (when the apartment complex opened) and asked if the delivery could be pushed back later in the day. The salesman said he would write a note to the delivery guys to relay the message. We were on our way to the apartment at received a call at 9:40 that the delivery guys were at the apartment ready to unload, we said we were on the way but wouldn't get the key until at least 10 and if Bob's Discount Furniture could possibly go to their next delivery and come back to us to not hold them up, even though they were 20 minutes early. We got the key at 10:10, and the delivery guys drove right past us and left us without our furniture. They didn't come back that day, or the next and couldn't deliver everything until 6 days later. The railings for the bed were scheduled to come a week after original delivery, but when the furniture was delivered, our order ended up being completed for some reason, deleting our railing delivery from the system some how. They rescheduled the railings for two weeks later. I ate dinner on the floor and sat on lawn chairs for 6 days and slept on the floor due to their screw up. I tried contacting the customer service to get answers as to why the delivery was such a mess, and I was given no information, no apology and no help. I asked if the delivery fee could be waived for the inconvenience, and was given a hard no. I was offered a $50.00 gift card to the store for compensation, but declined as I will never be purchasing anything from their stores ever again! Horrible service all around. No one seemed to care about the trouble we were put through! Do yourself a favor and spend a little more money elsewhere. You'll more than likely have a much better experience anywhere else!
We ordered couches at the end of May and Bob's Discount Furniture were delivered the first week of June. We paid extra to have them delivered and set up. After the delivery guys left we attempted to use our couches but one of our couches didn't work properly. We spent hours on the phone trying to get someone back out but the soonest they could schedule someone was over a week. When the tech finally got here he realized he needed to order a part before he could fix it. That took another week. After the part arrived to our house it took another week to get the tech back out so we are looking at 3 weeks of time that we couldn't use our couches due to the techs not making sure they work properly before leaving. We also had to wait an extra week to have them delivered due to issues with their delivery driver tracking system.
Now the couch isn't working again. We have called repeatedly to get someone out here again but the wait times have been hours long before we can speak with someone. It has been so frustrating trying to get this worked out.
We were also told we would receive a refund to our credit card for the delivery charge. We have spoke to three different representatives regarding this and have again spent hours on hold to try to get this fixed. Each representative has told us something different. The supervisor told us it would be credited to our discover card, the second representative said it was already credited and to double check and the third representative told us it would be credited to the bobs account. Why would we ever want to purchase something from them again? The money should have been credited to our discover card the first time we spoke with someone. I have truly never experienced such horrible customer service and I hope to spread the word before someone else purchases something online from them. Especially if they plan to spend thousands of dollars. Bobs has no problem running your card and taking your payment but you are screwed after that. I can understand covid being the cause of wait times but not for a broken couch that we've had 3 techs out for and being told something different every time we call in that is just very poor communication and very poor customer service. As of 7/21/20 our issues have not be resolved.
Then we were told our entire set had come in when actually only half of it came in. Once we received all the pieces we discovered that they had not given us all the screws we needed. We wanted to call the store and tried at least a dozen times over several days to get ahold of someone at the store and no one ever answered the customer service phone. We even called the corporate office and had them transfer me and I was never able to get anyone to pick up so we just went to a hardware store to find something that would work.
They have great products, but I will never shop there again.
From the start our sales woman after she made her sales was complaining and gave us her whole life story and using very vulgar words to describe her ex husband, we were appalled but she already had her sale. Bob's Discount Furniture first gave me a time frame for this past Friday between 11:15 to 1:15, then Friday morining at 9:00 they sent a text stating they would be there in 1 hour and 15 minutes, well I was at a dr appointment so when they called to say they were in my driveway I told them I would be there and 15 minutes and they stated well you do know this is a drop off! So of courses I said no this is not a drop off! REALLY! So they put three huge boxes on my porch in the rain. I called the sales woman and she said I did not want the white glove I told her I never heard of the white glove, as we were going back and forth you couldn't get a word in with this obnoxious woman, she told someone on the other side of the phone oh I don't have time for this. I then asked to speak to a manager who she said comes in at noon and he would call me, no call from him so at 12:45 I called him. He didn't care either and his customer service skills were even worse then the sales woman. He said he would call me back to set up for a team to come and assemble the furniture and no call after an hour and a half so I called again and he says It won't be today he doesn't know when someone would get out there but if I want they could come and pick up the furniture. So they are coming but not until 10 more days to pick up the furniture which will still be sitting outside in the rain. It just shows how they really care about their products and customers.
Also when the couch and pillows( included) were delivered there were many frayed fabric strings from the seems. As the delivery men were putting together our couch i sat at my kitchen table with a scissors. (Not something I should be doing with a new purchase. A hefty purchase at that).
I have learned to live with it as my husband and I were debating on purchasing the 4th piece in the future when we move and have more room for it.
Fast forward a couple of months we have noticed holes in the seems of the fabric cushions. I called next day to make a claim for someone to come out and fix it as we purchased the Goof Proof warranty for 5 years. The CSR told me the system is down and Bob's Discount Furniture could not look up my account. I asked about the other phone numbers in the brochure and asked when I would call those and what each company covers. One number is Guardian. He says they cover any 1 time accidents. ( not sure what this means as how do you predict there will be one accident but whatever). When I questioned the FabricTech phone number and if I should contact them with this FABRIC issue he says "I dont even know what that is, I am not familiar" IT IS PRINTED IN THE BROCHURE.
It all boils down to Customer Service. Customer Service is what sells. Next time we decide to purchase furniture, it will not be from Bobs. They don't even TRY to reconcile the issue. You get what you pay for and unfortunately we paid $1,334.00 for horrible customer service.
Refinished our house with different items from Bob's big furniture from a mattress to living room furniture, barstools, etc.
Our reclining couch has broke, with two hours on hold, and having the good proof protection our couch has not been fixed after 3 months of waiting, a technician came buy and said he had the wrong part and left quick. Still waiting.
The living room chair is made so bad we are nervous to sit on it.
We ordered online At Bob's discount furniture, four barstools. When we tried to put them together the screws would not tighten into their threaded holes, very poor craftsmanship, we had to re-box these four barstools and ship them back, we have not received our money back for these barstools it's been two months. At this point we realized we need to cancel the mattress immediately which was a king size and the best brand. Bob's Discount Furniture were fighting me all the way, Insisting that they were going to send it to us anyway, however I told them we were to not except the mattress On the attempted delivery and we did get refunded. Our lamp finally showed up after a couple of months it was cracked and the box was crushed,?
We did get a wooden end table for the living room and so far it doesn't seem like we have any problems with that, so far
Overall the experience has been horrible and can only hope that this reaches at least one of you that are smart enough to just take our word for it. This is not about you reading this and Savng you money, really, it's about taking business from Bob's discount furniture as they don't deserve it and as you can read there are many that feel the same way.
Miss Tucker
Their service is absolutely terrible. Based on my experience two separate interactions, I will not be doing business with them again.
When purchasing my couch, the salesperson really pushed the "Goof Proof" plan, stating that accidental spills were covered under the plan. I shelled out $50 for this plan. Fast forward: I spilled coffee on my couch and submitted a claim through the website. Bob's Discount Furniture denied it. I resubmitted a claim on the phone. They responded to me, again denying the claim, and attaching a copy of my specific coverage details under the plan I purchased. Verbatim, the plan says as follows:
"1. FABRIC
A) Fabric Basic Accidental stains caused by any food or beverage normally consumed by humans; mold and mildew stains caused by food or beverage spills; stains caused by human or pet bodily fluids."
I'm not sure how accidentally spilling coffee on my couch somehow does not meet the terms of this clause, but getting someone on their live chat or phone service that could explain or even better, offer help, is impossible. I may as well have flushed $50 down the toilet for all the good this plan does me. I feel misled by the salesperson and completely un-valued as a Bob's customer.
The other significantly negative experience I had with Bob's customer service was when my furniture was [supposed to be] delivered. They gave me a delivery window for my furniture on a Friday afternoon. I made arrangements to leave work early to accommodate the window they gave me. They showed up 4 HOURS EARLY. Therefore, I was not home when they showed up. I frantically tried to make arrangements to leave work and come home, and the delivery men told me they would wait. They did not wait and were unable to deliver the furniture within the promised time window. Customer service was unapologetic and somehow made the whole fiasco out to be my fault for not being at home when the delivery arrived. I had to escalate the issue multiple times before I got someone who was able to actually help me. He promised me an expedited delivery time but still was unable to get me the couch before the weekend, leaving me to entertain out of town guests without the benefit of the couch I had bought, paid for, and been promised in time.
Bob's rescheduled the delivery for Monday morning at 8am. They showed up on my doorstep at 6:30am, violating my complex's noise curfew and waking me up. At least I finally got my couch.
TL; DR: it would be a cold day in hell before I did business with Bob's furniture again.
I've never written a bad review for anyone in my life but this sale was the biggest disappointment I've ever dealt with in my life.
DELIVERY TEAM WAS A NIGHTMARE AND SALES REP PROVIDED FALSE INFO
I walked into the store with big signs saying that "You don't need credit to purchase" GREAT, I have great credit but just didn't want to open any new lines of credit at the time. So I chose my couch and I ask the rep, what the return policy is and the rep responded clearly. "You have a 60 day return policy with full refund" I though great, so I sit down and I ask her so how do payments go? Considering there's no credit involved? Do I just pay Bobs? She said YES. She took my info which I figured was normal obviously considering I would owe them some money. Dealing with the delivery team was an absolute nightmare! Customer service did nothing to resolve it aside from continuing to reschedule my delivery! Delivery team kept lying saying Bob's Discount Furniture were calling me to deliver and they didn't get any answer which is a complete lie! I even sat outside waiting for them aside my phone and no one ever came. They insisted on lying and did this for two dates of delivery and customer service has no control over this? I mean this is who you hire? People that make your customers suffer until they get their delivery? RUDE RUDE DELIVERY TEAM AND JUST PLAIN DISHONEST LAZY PEOPLE THAT OBVIOUSLY DONT WANT TO GET THE JOB DONE I called about 40 times before I finally got my delivery from BOBS FURNITURE! I am beyond angry and unsatisfied. I received my furniture and decided it was too large for my house. I called the following day to hear by customer service that "BOBS DOESNT RETURN ONCE DELIVERED" this is unacceptable, I was told different! I wasn't told that they DO return. They had nothing more to say but NO. Then I find out I have a new line of credit opened through a bank to finance this purchase which I wasn't even informed regarding this! Im just so disappointed at the kind of customer service these people have. Its unreal. I've purchased a lot of furniture in my past but never dealt with such unprofessionalism.
THEY TOLD ME WHATEVER I WANTED TO HEAR TO GET THEIR PURCHASE
By the end of the conversation nothing was changed so I decided I just want my damn dresser so I made sure I was home by 3pm today. Now the dresser NEVER CAME. My husband called and apparently it was delivered and signed for. Bob's Discount Furniture couldn't produce a signature copy and the rep handled the call as if we were lying! What are we to gain by having two dresser chests in our already shrinking room since we've gotten the bed and lamp table!? Did you want a picture of the empty spot where the dresser should've been!? This is freaking unbelievable! A month and a half ago this order was placed and we've gone through so much crap with Bob's Furniture and all they could offer was a reluctant redelivery with no sense of urgency! I'm so disgusted and done with Bob's Furniture. Don't order there! Save yourself the hassle.
We have reviewed the email below and unfortunately once a claim is filed we are unable to go back and change the cause of damage or any other details. When the representative began filing your service request, she read a disclaimer that stated she would be asking you for specific information regarding the damages you were reporting, the information you provided her would determine the eligibility and once the information had been processed, it could not be changed or altered. You agreed to the disclaimer and continued filing your service request.
Thank you so much for your understanding in this matter. Please keep in mind that while Guardian did find your claim ineligible for coverage at this time, your warranty is still valid for any future damages reported in accordance with your warranty guidelines and validity requirements. It is always advised that declined damages be repaired by a licensed service technician and for you to maintain a copy of the invoice from the repair work done. This invoice will be required by Guardian to service future claims on these areas.
As far as I can tell the problem exists as a result of the inability of the storefront to communicate with the Customer Care. People at the store were generally nice and sympathetic (until today) although ultimately unhelpful in resolving the problems, as their only solution is to pass you off to Customer Care, where you are just a number, and where Bob's Discount Furniture actually don't care about you or your problem (you're lucky if anyone even calls you back). We have wasted countless hours trying to resolve. At one point, I asked for a refund and was told that was impossible since I still had 2 giant boxes containing pieces of the bed in my house. The GM suggested I drive it back down, after which he could issue a refund (he wanted me to resolve his problem). When I told him my car wasn't big enough, but he could follow me in his truck he refused. While they offered to comp the delivery fee after the first failure, no additional compensation was offered after failures 2-4. When I asked for the name of a regional or corporate person to contact to file a compliant, the information was flat out refused.
Today after the 4th failed delivery, I called the store multiple times (at the direction of Customer Care to reschedule delivery), and a clearly frustrated and annoyed GM (Steve) initially told me I had to reschedule through Customer Care (the merry-go-round started again), and when I challenged him he tried to deflect the problems and actually blamed me for his company's deficiencies. His actions are what eventually resulted in me locating this site (as well as consumer affairs) to vent my frustrations through public review... which is unlikley to help me resolve my problem, but may help some other poor sap avoid this company altogether. When I asked Steve if it would ever be delivered correctly, he said he can't make any guaranties, and doesn't want to fail a 5th time, so he prefer I just cancel my order (he begged actually)... this is one of their GMs acknowledging defeat, great face for a store. The other GM (Jeff) is significantly more polished and customer savvy, opting to use common sense and not toss gasoline on an already stressed situation. I'd say Jeff should be promoted (king of the simpletons, so to speak), but he's better off finding a job with a better operation... Steve is clearly where he belongs.
I've never shopped at Bob's before, and I will certainly never shop at Bob's again. I've already told (what is now a sad and yet comical story) to everyone I know, and I will continue to warn friends and family about Bob's until my eventual death. You've been warned... unless you are trying to recreate a month's long Punk'd or Candid Camera experience for yourself, stay away... Customer Care is a total sham, they don't care. Worst customer experience of my life.
We bought an entire living room set from these people and paid cash upfront for everything. Just a note... THEY HATE THAT AND TRY TO TALK YOU OUT OF IT! We went and picked it up ourselves. The guys brought out my couch on a half a dolly; meaning on only half the couch was on it and the other half was bending off the back half of it. I brought it to the guys attention and asked to examine it and I was told "no, they cannot do that because they had a line of cars and if there is anything wrong BOB's will replace it, no problems." I get the couch home and there is definitely something wrong with it. The left side arm was completely wobly. I crawled under it and took a look and saw that all the wood under the arm was detached from the rest of the frame and that there was a completely broken piece of wood that was lying on top of the metal frame. I called the 800# and told them that something was wrong and they sent a guy to review. Not only did this guy try and fix the detached wood (with skills that are less then what my 6 yr old could do) but he just glued another piece of wood on top of the one that was broken in half? I called again and they told them that this was unacceptable and had an hour long fight with them before they let me know that he was NOT supposed to fix any wood on a product. That is when they said that they would deliver another one. The delivery guys caqme and brought the new one in and broke my front screen door doing so. Then they completely gouged my hard wood floor installing the new couch. (a whole another ordeal dealing with them to come and fix the damage) Well, the new one showed up and immediately my wife and I sat on it and said that the cushions were way different then the first one. I went back to the store and re sat in the floor model and realized that the first one we were sent was obviously a used/refurbished couch. Then the power button on the one side began to not work. So, we call again and tell them and they have to send someone out. We asked for a noon apt because my son had soccer in the morning and we had dinner plans at night. We were told no and that we have to cancel our plans to accommodate their schedule! So, we had to cancel our plans. The guy comes out and fixes the button and reattached the back because apparently the parts were all screwed in very loosely. I ask him to reexamine the very same side of the first couch loose arm because that one seems a little off too. Low and behold the wood frame is all broken under the couch again and also now the entire metal frame is bent underneath. He also notices that one of the plastic feet is missing on the bottom, which is why my floor is completely gouged up. He calls from my phone and reports it as such. I am now on the phone again with them again. It is either we get store credit or we have them send another couch. Seriously? I want a total refund, but again once you sign the receipt you give up those rights! I have spent a total of 4 hours on the phone and have taken a day off from work and had to cancel my plans all to get nothing but broken couches that I have already paid for and nothing but rude and attitude from their so called Customer Service! THERE IS NOTHING "QUALITY" ABOUT BOB'S OR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS OR THEIR GOOF PROOF C+GUARANTEE!
Bottom line, don't believe a word that Bob's Discount Furniture promises you. They repeatedly don't deliver the correct furniture, can't deliver a complete piece of furniture, and repeatedly lie to their customers with their "guaranteed" delivery dates that really aren't that guaranteed. Kind of like that Seinfeld episode with the car reservations; "you know how to TAKE the reservation, but you don't know how to KEEP the reservation".
I've spent the better part of the morning waiting on hold and speaking to rude and inept customer care representatives and their managers trying to resolve with no success. CEO Mike Skirvin should be ashamed at how his company treats customers (as evidence by all the reviews in addition to mine), and make a plan on how they can improve the customer experience and not continue to let customers down with broken promises, failed deliveries, and rude customer service.
Avoid at all costs, there are a lot of more reputable furniture stores available that won't lie to you, and will deliver what you paid for as promised.
The Customer Care department, however - oh, boy. "Incompetent" and "inept" don't quite capture it.
I bought and had a sectional sofa delivered in July. The love seat piece was missing its set of legs. They weren't in the truck. I can't connect my sofa pieces together as a result, but okay. Mistakes happen. I spoke on the phone with Customer Care. They said the parts would be shipped to me and would arrive within 3-5 business days. Well, they didn't show up. In repeat calls to the department, I was assured they were on the way and that I should actually have been told to wait 7-10 business days, not 3-5. That time went by too. No legs.
In the next call to Customer Care, I was told they had no record of the order at all and could not tell me what happened to the legs I was supposed to receive.
Okay...
Another order was placed. I received a confirmation email from the parts department about it explaining they'd take another 7-10 business days to arrive. They did not arrive within this time. I called back again (the trick is to mash the 0 button repeatedly to speak to a human, or you'll be stuck in an endless nasal hell-loop of Bob's voice recordings) and was told to keep waiting. They actually had no system info they could give me about the order status, and each time I called I had to regale the rep with the entire sordid history of my attempts to get my missing sofa legs because nobody has added any pertinent data to my account... which makes me question what kind of system they've got going there. Sticky notes?
Finally, some 14 business days later, a box arrives containing one leg. Not the set of 4 legs that was needed. One singular, useless leg. This is well into the realm of the ridiculous now.
I call again. The Customer Care people have no explanations and apparently no ability to fix anything or to look into what went wrong (they are seemingly limited to placing repeat orders that are either comically incorrect or that disappear into the ether). Not only that, but there's no option to do this the easy way like, say, allowing me to just go pick up the legs at their warehouse or something. That'd just be altogether too sensible. The only other option they can give me is to deliver a WHOLE NEW SOFA. On top of that, they don't seem to understand why it's inconvenient to have to schedule time off work to wait 4 hours for a truck to show up and then to have them lug more giant pieces of furniture into and out of the house. (One male rep I spoke to about this scoffed at me for balking at the idea.)
But, it seems I'm left with no choice. In order to get some simple plastic screw-on couch legs, they have to pack up and truck over a whole new couch, unpack and unwrap it, pull the original sofa pieces out of my house, bring identical sofa pieces back into my house, and put the separate plastic legs on those... instead of, you know, just handing me some legs.
The only way to get this done is to let it play out like a Three Stooges skit? *deep sigh*... So be it.
I scheduled the delivery. That was to arrive today. I was sitting here waiting for the drivers with my front door wide open. I got a text that my sofa would arrive within approximately 10 minutes. An hour went by and nothing, so I checked the automated system. My delivery status was updated to "Unable to Start" with no delivery time indicated. What?
So I had to call Customer Care yet again. I just spoke with another rep who says the drivers showed up and I didn't answer the door. They took a photo of themselves outside to prove they came and everything. I asked him to describe the house in the photo. It's not even my house! They showed up at the wrong house number and then blamed me for not being there to receive the order. Naturally, the rep has no way to contact the drivers or to resolve this except to suggest another Sisyphean attempt at the same...
Welp, it's two months later. September. No simple screw-on couch legs for me... just other inconvenient 4 hour window and the futile hope that someone will someday get something right in this infuriating comedy of errors.
Needless to say, I'd advise anyone thinking of shopping at Bob's to maybe consider rubbing jalapeños on their eyeballs or stapling their fingers to a table instead. It'll be less excruciating than this nonsense.
I have given business and bought a lot of furniture's from Bobs for many years and I have learnt the hard way not to buy their extended warranty (goof proof), its all a scam and the biggest rip off! Bob's Discount Furniture say that its hassle and tension free extended warranty, just in case anything happens to your furniture or bedding that you buy from them, you will have peace of mind and they will fix/repair or replace it. ITS ALL FALSE!
They also have memory foam mattress that they say, has "20 year, no questions asked warranty", just like the tempur-pedic but that's not even true and they say if you buy the mattress protector you will get additional protection warranty, THATS ALSO A TOTAL LIE AND FALSE! I have a memory foam mattress that I bought from them in 2009 and it is not supporting our backs currently, we have frequent back aches when we wake up lately, we also feel the shake now when the partner moves on the mattress, we informed Bobs about the problem and they send a technician to checkout our memory foam mattress, after checking, the technician gave the report that nothing is wrong with the memory foam and it doesn't look like there is a curve on the mattress. Its a memory foam which retains its shape, even if its gone a bit bad, when not being used and only the people sleeping on it will know if its gone bad because they can feel it on their body/back, just by looking at it you will never know if the memory foam has lost the support. I was very disappointed and tried to speak to their supervisor and they were sticking by their technicians report and till date we are suffering from back pain and they will not exchange our memory foam mattress nor replace it with a new one, where as, its still under the 20 year warranty. So you see that Bobs lies when it comes to any warranty they say they have. Hope this review will help everyone to be more careful when shopping with Bobs. DONT BUY ANY WARRANTY (Goof Proof) FROM THEM, YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY!
To add insult to injury, when you try and call them they keep you on hold for 2-3 hours and then they disconnect you. They have disconnected us 4 times now, which shows that this technique part of their normal operating strategy. They don't call you back and you have to start the call process all over again. We placed an order June 1st and August 8th we still have not received our purchase.
Today we waited on hold for 2 hours, when they answered the phone, we and got the representatives call back number in case we got disconnected. Guess what? After talking to them a few minutes they disconnected us again!
We tried calling them back and the number and extension they provided to us. That number took us to the same phone system to wait another 3 hours.
At first, they blamed their incompetence on the Coronavirus and shipments taking longer than expected. They said it was in route and would take an additional 7 days. We found out today, three months later, that the couch had never been ordered and they were not even sure if it was going to be manufactured in the color we ordered.
I am back with a great REVIEW.
I ordered from the MY BOBS Website and i could NOT have been happier with my order.
We spent a little over 300 dollars and it was worth every penny. We bought the BOB-O-PEDIC. And its the best best i've ever slept on. NOW i am not saying that it is better then the tempurpedic but i sleep way better and i notice the back pains are gone.
I thought ordering from this website was goin to be bad being that we never went in the store to check out the bed itself. But either way i am pleased with the bed its FREAKING great. I can't wish for a better bed.
The Delivery was fast and pleasant we ordered our bed on a Friday and it was delivered on a TUESDAY && i didnt have to pay for express shipping and that was good being that we don't have much money to begin with.
My one and only Problem with the store was the Rep that called me not even 20 mins after i placed the order.
He calls me and asked me what day would be best for them to deliver the bed i gave him the date and he said "GREAT" I was pleased at how fast Bob's Discount Furniture worked and then he tried this move "Ive noticed you didn't get the GOOF PROOF PROTECTION (for those who don't know what this is its a protected for the bed,). FOR 39.95 WE CAN ADD IT TO YOUR ACCOUNT".
I said no thank you because we already bought a top quality bed protected he got snippy with me and rushed me off the phone and when i said thank you for the call he just hung up on me.
Other then the call from Mr. Mean Rep i love my bed and will order more from Bobs the prices are good and the items are great.
Take a chance on them if you haven't already.
Sincerely,
Miss. Amy
I explained that I did some research on their website and the product details for my bed clearly states, "Boxspring and Foundation are not needed for this bed. Why would the salespersons sell me the foundation? I tried to refuse the redlievery of the low pro foundation, however, the technician said, "I can't take the foundation, you have to call customer care."I removed the low pro foundation myself and placed it another room until the 30 days arrive.
Also, my mattress is definitely NOT plush like I ordered and it is extremely firm. I was told that if I returned it on July 14th (day of delivery), I would get a credit, but if I waited 30 days, I could get a refund. I didn't need to purchase anymore furniture so I waited the 30 day period.
Well, I call today (30 days later) and I'm told that the foundation cannot be returned. I will receive a refund for the mattress with the exception of the original delivery fee ($329.99). I'm given this deal once I requested to speak to a manager (whom I never spoke to). I understand the policy for paying for delivery, but I think it is ridiculous that I lose $329.99 (original delivery fee). I explained that several items were delivered and that should be taken into consideration. If I purchase a mattress alone, the delivery fee would not be that expensive.
I'm at my wits end with this company and I will purchase my new mattress from another store.
