Formal Dining Table and Buffet
This customer was treated like a friend so for him to post a negative review is absolutely incredible!!! In regards to extremely long wait!?! They were promised 4-6 weeks and he received in 5 WEEKS! We received their dining room set on a Friday at our warehouse and our delivery department called to schedule a delivery time but his wife Nina was ADAMANT about having delivery that same night as they had a party on Saturday. Our delivery department explained that we are already booked solid for that day and could get them on for the following day! She said that she HAD TO HAVE THAT NIGHT no matter what! Our delivery department called us and asked what they should do and I told them that both Bob and Nina are great people so please fit them in for that night no matter what. So we fit them in as a last minute add-on. At 9pm our drivers called them and explained they had just finished their last regularly scheduled delivery and asked if they still wanted them to come that night or should they come Saturday morning. Both Bob and Nina INSISTED that they still come that night no matter HOW LATE!?! So for Bob to put down "Who in their right mind delivers furniture 2 hours before midnight" is strange because HE IS THE PERSON THAT WANTED DELIVERY 2 HOURS BEFORE MIDNIGHT!! In regards to the edges being damaged...I sent our service tech out the next day to do touch-ups and Bob was VERY happy according to the service tech! I feel as a store we went above and beyond to help get these guys get their set on time and to get a negative review very disheartening.
Receiving service from manager
I feel that as a store we tried everything to satisfy this customer who's name is Peter NOT John. I really think there should be some sort of control on Homestars part . As this customer did purchase from us but did not buy $3200 worth of furniture. He purchased a single $299 coffee table. The coffee table missed our Ashley truck for Christmas and I advised Peter Glarentzos (John) that unfortunately he would have to wait until our next truck in January. At this point I offered him a full refund if he wasn't willing to wait or he could borrow a coffee table until his came in. He said that he was "ok and could wait". When the table arrived in January, I personally delivered the coffee table to his residence in the Beaches (approx. 1 hour drive). As a retail store we pride ourselves on making EVERY customer happy. I realize we can't win them all but we honestly do try our best. These kind of reviews are upsetting especially after John (Peter Glarentzos) promised to have his review removed after I delivered his coffee table. I really wish there was a Homestars where we can rate customers :)
Thank you! It really was a pleasure dealing with you. I look forward to helping you furnish your other rooms.
Thank you Bob!
It was a pleasure Franca. Sorry for the little delay but I knew you would be happy in the end.

This customer was a super nice person to deal with! I feel awful that she and her husband has had to wait this long for her replacements. Unfortunately, the manufacturer of her furniture has been in "transition" and left us with no other recourse. When we promised her 2 weeks, this is what we were told by our supplier. We did attempt to respond to her everytime they contacted us but there was a period of 3 weeks when our email was not functioning. We did respond immediately to their fax. I have personally been dealing with this supplier to get this resolved and we have finally received replacements that we have scheduled to deliver next week. Karat please contact me at the store to see what I can do to compensate you for the delay and for your patience regarding this matter. I hope that we can make things right with you. Thank you.
