Delivery/product/personnel - one big problem!
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 8 votes
The following correspondence was sent to the recipients Aug 25 and I still have yet to receive a reply. THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU BUY FROM THE BRICK!

Sent to: president@thebrick.com and the Regional Vice President, West at The Brick Head Office

I am forwarding to you all correspondence sent to various departments over the last couple of days and I have yet to receive a reply. In addition I placed numerous calls to your customer service department on Monday Aug 28 only to be given the run around. I am truly and utterly dismayed by what has happened since purchasing these appliances.

Please contact me as soon as possible.
Thank You

re: appliances

Dear Madam or Sir,

Honestly I don't even know what to say. I cannot believe what happened today. I was contacted by your customer service department yesterday and told that the damaged appliances could be exchanged today (around 2:30 pm) for new ones and asked if that would be okay. I said yes that would be fine. I was also assured by the manager that the replacements had been inspected and would be delivered in perfect condition. So I took more time off from work so I could be home receive them, and ended up waiting until 5:30. When they finally showed up, the delivery people were instructed to deliver the appliances to the entrance at the side of the building; which they refused to do, and during the exchange damaged another wall and my brand new floor, not to mention the appliances were exchanged for another set which are worse than the ones before (scratches on plastic and crisper drawers, paint scraped off of metal shelf supports, nothing was sealed in plastic, ie: freezer shelf, ice cube trays, door compartments, dairy compartment cover, manuals and documents were just thrown in the meat tray). I am thoroughly and truly at my wits end! I have had nothing but hassles since Aug 16. yet through it all I have remained calm, been more than reasonable, and patient and have not even so much as raised my voice once with any of your staff however enough is enough and I have had quite enough.

Please contact me immediately so as we can get this matter resolved.

Sincerely

Please contact me as soon as possible
Thank You.

I purchased 3 appliances from the Brick (10705-101 St Edmonton, AB) on Aug 16/06, and since have had nothing but problems with your staff; including management, delivery personnel, sales reps,etc. For the sake of brevity I will not get into everything now; however the following should give you some idea as to what I have been going through with your establishment since my time of purchase:
* Misinformation received from sales rep. regarding purchase
price, delivery, and pressure to purchase extended warranty.
* Numerous phone calls made to and messages left for: fleet
supervisors, customer service reps, and no calls returned
* No phone call received the morning of scheduled day of removal
giving estimated time of arrival of workers removing old appliances.
* Damage to condominium suite when old appliances were removed.
* Unacceptable behavior of delivery/removal personnel.
1. Workers entered suite without knocking,
2. Cut hoses on appliance without permission.
3. Rude verbal remarks
* Wrong address for delivery of appliances
* New appliances received (damaged)
* Exchange date and time scheduled and then rescheduled 5 times, then cancelled. Replacement appliances received dented and scratched, (delivery drivers didn’t even bother to take them off the truck). The list goes on. I am extremely displeased and would appreciate it if someone would contact me immediately regarding these matters.

Sincerely,
Lenore L

Hi, I had lost my Brick Card and was told to phone customer service from my local store at 497-4927. I was very upset after the 3rd call to this number and sitting on hold for 20 minutes (literally, I used the phone at work and my phone has the minutes timed on it)and still never got through. I then phoned the local number 430-5151 and was told I had to phone a 1 800 number to report my lost card. The gentleman who I was talking to was very rude and said if I was upset not to take it out on him. I had just purchased 2 leather couches and a recliner chair worth $3700.00, 2 days ago and then of course could not get through on the phone. Yes I was a little upset. It seems that they received my money so they didn't care after that. Your Customer Service is the POOREST service I have ever experienced in my life (3 calls, 20 minutes each and still could not get through) just ridiculous. You better look into this problem it is ridiculous to be put on hold like this. But then again it looks like you have had a lot of very unhappy people buying at the Brick and the service they are receiving.

I agree with the person making the complaint. The Brick have the poorest customer service I've ever experienced. Actually they don't have customer service. I don't know what you'd call it. I had/have the misfortune of dealing with the Brick. I cut up my "credit card" because I have no intention of ever dealing with the Brick store ever again. They do have rude people on the phones, ridiculous waiting times to get your furniture and furniture that "needed to be repaired as soon as I got it" They wouldn't replace it but would repair it. I'm ending up with and having to pay almost twenty five hundred(2,500.00) dollars for my one time unfortunate experience of dealing with the Brick. I wish I'd checked on line and read these ratings before shopping at the Brick Furniture store. I intend not to ever shop at the Brick furniture store or any of their affiliated stores.

I agree with all of the above... I just had a horrible experience with the Brick and will deal with them again!!! Crappy quality furniture and the lady at customer service was SO rude. The furniture that I had ordered was delivered 2x and both times cracked and falling apart. I finally refused the furniture and then was informed that I wouldn't get my delivery charge back... WTF! The customer service lady was very rude.

Everything spoken about The Brick is true.

I don't know where to begin with my stories of incompetence from staff at The Brick. There isn't enough time for me to write it all down.

I will put it down in short form.

Customer Service and Delivery have no communication between them. It took a month for them just to pick up my couch which the frame broke in half within 6 months after purchase.

They showed up at the wrong addresses, showed up at wrong times, would phone 7:15 am and 8:00 am in the morning to tell me thay might be around to pick it up between 1-4pm?

I still don't have my couch back and am afraid I will never see it again with how incompetent and rude customer service is. I am furious with this company. I will never buy a thing from them again and will spend the rest of my life warning people to never purchase from them again.
