NIGHTMARE!!!!!
My husband and I purchased a dining set from Ashley's Furniture in McDonough, Ga on June 14, with a delivery date scheduled for June 30th. Well....on the morning of the 30th, my husband gets a text with our delivery time window. We were stop number 12 and expected between 4:00-7:00. During the day I checked the progress of the delivery and it seemed they were making good time, I thought they were organized---what a joke!!! As time rocked on, no furniture, no text no call. About 7:15, nothing, so my husband checked the tracking window and our stop is marked DELIVERED! Needless to say there was no way to reach anyone at this point. The next morning we both were on the phone trying to reach an actual person. I looked on the corporate website and there is no web address, just a phone number and address---useless. I tried calling only to get the automated system and put on terminal hold. I tried the online chat, which had the "chat bot" and told me to call the store. I sent a text thru Facebook---a waste of my time. Finally someone in the delivery dept called my husband. No reason as to why we didn't get our furniture on the 30th as scheduled, but reschedule for the next day which was July 2nd. That morning we got the standard text with our delivery time and we were number 7 on the list, so I thought we stood a chance for them to actually show up. About 3:00, here comes the truck and guess what???---WRONG FURNITURE!!!!! So---back on the truck it goes and the driver calls the delivery hub/warehouse. I asked him if I could have the number to the warehouse but was told I would have to call the store. My husband comes home and I tell him the story and he is boiling at this point. Off we go to the store to cancel the whole transaction. On the way, a man named Jason called from the delivery dept to see what was going on. He was very courteous and seemed concerned. I briefly tell him my story and we were heading to cancel the whole thing. He asks if I would wait as he was going to try and get the furniture to us that evening. We still go to the store and speak to the salesman who sold us the set--Greg. He is nice when he is selling you a product, but there is no follow up after that point. He said we needed to speak to the office manager, who, is very nice and professional. She was calling delivery when Jason calls back to say he was bringing the set to our house but it may be around 7 or after. We let the office manager know and to hold off rescheduling delivery as if this didn't pan out we were going to get a full refund. I also told her I felt we should get a refund on the delivery fee as after 2 trys, we still had nothing. She agreed and the fee was refunded. We head for the house and a little before 7, here comes what looks to be a personal van and there is my furniture. It was brought in the house and set up with no problem. I really appreciated Jason going out of his way to do this. I love the dining set and am glad to finally have it. This was our first experience with Ashley's and also the last. There is a huge lack of communication between store and delivery and after the sale, there is no follow up. So, moral to this story, go somewhere else if you need home furnishings.
