Wayfair, incredibly vile and ableist... WayUNfair

"Wayfair is incredibly vile. There is a reason Wayfair will never be able to compete with Amazon. This heavily due to its customer service. I can't think of a single company that would behave the way Wayfair has.

I placed an order for 2 sets of night stands. I immediately noticed the order had my old address. Right away, I used the "update address" option. I was confident this worked. The next day, I got a notification that my order shipped to the wrong address.

I contacted Wayfair and they informed me that I should be able to contact FedEx to change the address. I contacted FedEx and they informed me that I needed to have the shipper make the update.

Next, I contacted Wayfair once again. Wayfair instructed me to call back the next day when a supervisor is present. The reason I was given was that a supervisor could contact FedEx. I contacted Wayfair hoping for a supervisor the following day.

Then, I was informed this was not an option at all. Wayfair instructed me that I should go to my old address and pick up the items or place a hold on the items and pick them up. Sidenote, placing a hold wouldn't work because my ID would need to match the address for pick up.


Anyway, I tried my hand at explaining the situation to the person who runs their Facebook account. They informed me that it "wouldn't be hard" to lift the 4 packages each weighing 65 pounds and load them into a car, if I have another person.


There are so many things wrong with telling me it shouldn't be hard to lift things. The biggest problem is that this was an extremely ableist comment. I guess the business is only accessible to able bodied people.


This served as a reminder that I can't do some of the same things because I have cancer. I confronted the person I spoke to on messenger about their response. The resolution was FINALY to have the product returned to the warehouse AND repurchase at a higher price.

Wayfair is Master of Poor Quality Furniture and incessant Advertising Through Text and Emails

"I purchased a pair of Asul Armchairs with Nailhead Trim at $213/chair this month. I needed a couple of chairs with some colors for the living room. This price is supposedly a highly discounted price from their retail price ($599/chair) as Wayfair claims. There price varies between $200 to $250/chair on different day.
My Experience: I opened one box and repacked back. Did not open the second box.
1. Product has no workman ship, has extremely poor quality and is an ugly piece of furniture not worth to buy even at a fraction of the price I paid. It is made in China.
2. Once you look on their site and give your phone number and email, they will send you messages and emails incessantly day and night.
3. The site does not mention that they will charge a hefty fee for returning. I paid ~$79 for returning. I had to take it back to FedEx facility
4. When I took the two chairs to FedEx, first thing the person at the counter said, are you Wayfair furniture?
In nut shell this company sells very poor-quality stuff, and does not disclose return policy properly. One should not fall for their incessant bombarding of advertisement and take over your phone and PC.

Beware when cancelling orders! Cancellations will take 48 hours!

"Wayfair waits for vendors to approve any cancellations, which is not fair to the customer who is purchasing through Wayfair. Customers don't know what the vendor situation is, it could be that the vendor does not have the product in stock that the customer has purchased, yet Wayfair will still confirm the purchase. But when the item takes too long to ship, or the vendor never confirms that the item is available, Wayfair leaves it to the vendor to confirm any cancellations by the customer. This is not fair, as the customer is trusting Wayfair has vetted their vendors and the vendors have given availability information to Wayfair. My advise, if the item shows shipping more than 5 days after the purchase, the vendor probably does not have the item, and it's possible that Wayfair doesn't know when the item will ship."

Increase Price after Paid

"Any Person in charge to decide my case.

I request that Wayfair make the honor of my purchase which was paid, Wayfair cancelled this written contract and the price was increased on your web page.

A store cannot legally raise the price of an item once you have paid for it. If the store accepted a check, cash, or placed a charge on a customer’s credit card, this is considered a completed written contract, regardless of whether the item has been delivered or picked up and whether or it is not actually in the customer’s possession.

I reviewed the Online Archive of NAD (National Advertising Division). The cancelation looks like price gouging (Wayfair increased by almost $1400). Anyone who has been the victim of price gouging, or who has information regarding potential price gouging, is encouraged to immediately file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office by going to the Attorney General's website.

(Wayfair can find information on URL files of the DayDream 3500L Ensemble 6-Person 35-Jet Hot Tub with Spa Accessories, powered By Jacuzzi Pumps by AquaRest Spas, powered by Jacuzzi pumps)

Again and Please, make honor of my purchase. Waiting for your reply, with my attention;

Manuel

Horrible Products! Worst Customer Service!

"Horrible products! Horrible customer service! First one lamp came the wrong model. I had to return it. They sent another one that came in a broken box and missing parts. Called again and because I called after the 30 days they refused to do anything about it. Completely inflexible!! Send the right stuss, and not broken items so people don't have to return them! I am not a home maker and I opening boxes is not a priority. You should have flexibility with customers especially when is your damned fault!"

Terrible never use ever again

"I made an Order with Wayfair for a present, the next morning I got an email that Wayfair had cancelled my Order due to their company's algorithum for deciding if my credit card was valid. I called the company number and a sales person answered, I had to give all the information again for the order, which they stated they would have to go through their billing department as it was rejected the first time so I had to go back on the site to order again, now the price was up by $20 from the night before, but they (the site) gave me a 10% discount, I went through all the ordering steps, and GUESS what, they did not give me the discount, so due to their error I ended up paying over $20 more. I would NOT Have done this but this was a gift my niece specifically asked me to get. I WILL NEVER USE THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN."

Short Changed.

"Tell me, if you bought a car advertised with a certain size tire, would you be satisfied to find you got a smaller size tire? That is what Wayfair has done; I purchased an $80.00 set rocking chair cushions only to find that the seat cushion is at least shorter than advertised. This might be okay if it was the back cushion, but the seat cushion needs to fit the seat to be comfortable. According to the Wayfair site, I have the option of returning the cushions for a shipping fee. I do not understand why I must cover the shipping cost when it is clear that Wayfair overstated the size of the cushions. I will be returning the cushions, but believe me, Wayfair doesn't have what I need and I will not recommend Wayfair to anyone. Their form of business practice is exactly why brick and mortar will never die. Their business plan is to sell stuff and hope that the customer will be satisfied with what they get no matter the inconvenience."

Wayfair is a bad company

"I purchased a stove on 9/10/23 On 9/19/23 I checked on the tracking and found out Wayfair canceled my order After trying to get an answer from them I finally got someone who told me that the ad that Wayfair placed was a "mistake" so they canceled it No one from Wayfair ever contacted me I only found out from trying to track it I assumed that Wayfair was a good company and would still give me my order that I paid for since they posted the ad but I was wrong Wayfair is a very bad company They sent me a link to buy the same type of stove but my order was $660 the cheapest one they sent me to was over $3,800 Do NOT buy from Wayfair!!!"

Terrible customer service and cheap products!

"Awful customer service and products. Several times I have bought items that came damaged and broke shortly after. When called to complain, they simply couldn’t do anything. It was my fault for not buying an extended warranty apparently. It’s like they know their products won’t last. I’ve worked in customer service for 13 years and this is the worst service I’ve ever encountered. Be careful what you buy. Very cheap stuff! I won’t be purchasing from Wayfair again."

Unreliable, poor communication, poor customer service resolution, out-of-stock items

"We have ordered two different bookcases from Wayfair. Both items were listed in stock. Both items were delayed, yet we were only notified of the delays each time the very day the bookcase was to arrive at our doorstep. Very little information was given on their website. Phone calls to customer service also gave similarly vague details. It was only after we escalated an issue to a supervisor that we found out that the first bookcase had supplier issues and wasn’t even being made. Why were we not notified of this? After we cancelled this order, we were given a 10% coupon that didn’t arrive. I had to call customer service again to make sure they sent it out (apparently it was checked to be sent out, but the supervisor never actually hit the “send” button). When we ordered the second bookcase, again listed in stock, we noticed that our first bookcase we wanted was somehow conveniently listed as out-of-stock on their website--only after we had our issues of multiple delays. The day our second bookcase was to arrive, we get an email that the item was delayed. Again, vague details, and I had to call customer service who confirmed that this was indeed another supply chain issue. The artificial delay of needing to wait for 6 more weeks was actually placed by Wayfair, not the supplier. In fact, if I didn’t call, the likelihood that in 6 weeks time I would get another email from Wayfair saying the item was delayed was quite high. The worst part of this is the supplier for the second bookcase is actually the same supplier as the first bookcase we purchased, which begs the question why didn’t Wayfair flag all products from this supplier as backordered or out-of-stock when this issue with this supplier was escalated to their investigative departments? From a customer’s end, I shouldn’t have been able to purchase that second bookcase and then wait 2 weeks for the same poor result. Don’t buy from Wayfair. Unreliable and poor customer resolutions."

Defect product Twice

"Bought a medicine cabinet from Wayfair.com. Had to request a replacement due to damaged hinge holes. The only option I had to get full credit was getting an exact replacement and boy was it exact as it had the exact same issue. The only good thing was I did not have to ship the first one back or I would have had to pay for the return shipping."

Worst shipping in the buisness

"I ordered a Suncast garbage can in May 23 and after 4 weeks of looking at the "ordered" status. I was told by customer service that even though it was showing as back ordered I ordered prior to that status to receive it. As another week went by in my new residence I looked again and there was no progress. After reaching out again the customer service person was surprised that no one had told me that it was no longer available. They issued a return and a measly 10% for my inconvenience. Later I was assisted by the sales team to get an item that was close to the original product. I spent another $150 on a garbage can only to have it delivered to an unknown address. As of now I have been waiting 6 weeks for a garbage can. I will gladly choose Amazon because of the dependability vs. Wayfair which has little ownership and control of the vendors they sell. "
