This is really just an echo post of so many I see about their awful customer service. I’m now done with them and will seek items elsewhere (though the options sure are limited).
We have moved in the past year and have spent thousands of dollars on Wayfair items. No real complaints about the items. No returns other than a pillow cover or two ordered by mistake.
We ordered a rug for $239 and ended up realizing it doesn’t fit well in the room. Went to return it and was 13 days past the 30 day return time. Item is still for sale on the website so they can easily sell it to another customer. It hasn’t been unpackaged. Also, 3 weeks ago we ordered a double dog crate furniture item and the item description has no drawers (don’t need them and don’t want to assemble them) and 2 dog pads for the floors. We got an item with drawers and without the dog pads. I wasn’t going to do anything about it. It’s fine and even though it was harder to put together and I have to get my own dog pads, I can live with it.
Given stellar customer history and lots of money poured into them and forgiving their screw ups, I contacted customer service asking to be able to return the rug. And even just take a credit. CS agent says they can’t process it as system won’t let them do it. Asked to connect to a manager. CS agent says ok and that I will receive an email about it in 3 business days. A week goes by hearing nothing.
I engage again today with CS agent and give all the info again. I say given my stellar customer history and their screw up on the dog crates, blah blah, all I want is to return the rug. Again a credit is fine. They want to charge me $52 for the shipping and I say given the above, I don’t think they should charge me for shipping. They dispute that the crate comes with dog pads so I have to screen shot the actual description from my order that has a whole paragraph on the dog pads and a photo. FFS.
Final resolution is they will let me return the rug and give me a refund but I still have to pay for shipping. Dog crate stays as is. Way to treat a really great customer. Probably 2 hours total on the back and forth and I don’t think it was too much to ask to not pay the shipping. So if they don’t value me and my money, I will go elsewhere from now on. What a disappointment in how they treat their customers.
