Houzz amish drying rack

placed an order with your company and waited one month for email... no product then went to website and order only to find out problem with card. straightened that out and reorder and told you to cancel first order...you sent me 2 items and never notified me by email of either. What type of company do you people have? No customer service number, no way to reach you? I sent one of your messages and never received anything back..I'm sure since I sent one item back I will have problems with you now double billing me. Will NEVER order from your company again! Two order #s; [protected], also [protected] . Your company has also chosen NOT to send a packing slip so I have no idea which one I kept and which I sent back. Will definitely NEVER order from your company again. Rita Morey

Houzz my order is not available!

Do not order from Houzz, you will regret that!
I bought something from them and paid the full price for my order and later I even received a payment confirmation.
There was no tracking number but when I contacted Houzz support they said I'll get it later. One week passed and nothing came so I contacted them again and heard the same promise.
Instead of sending me a tracking number they simply cancelled my order. Their rep said that it was no longer available and promised a refund but that was nothing but lie. Please, do not buy from them, these people are cheaters.
They said that they'll contact the manufacturer and ship my order later, but I don't believe them. They can't even tell when will that happen! I am so disappointed with these guys!

Houzz buyers be very aware, or shop elsewhere.

Without going into too much frustrating detail...We bought a beautiful blue carpet, called Coral Reef. We read the details. Took a close look. (Only one photo, but it could be magnified.) The carpet arrived in a timely fashion, but it was an ugly green.
Now they did say it was not returnable...but come on...we bought Blue and got Green!?! This is NOT right. After phone calls and emails. Their solution was a 10% discount, on a carpet that was nothing close to what we wanted. We were willing to absorb the shipping cost of 80 dollars to send it back...but they wouldn't go for that!
Horrible business practice. They obviously don't care about customer satisfaction.
Buy at your own risk...and good luck. We will never deal with this company again.
Fortunately our lesson was only a couple of hundred dollars, it could have been much worse. ...and that's all I have to say about that.

Houzz stance crackled table

Puchased this 1.000 dollar, 300 pound table through Houzz in July 2016. They offered free delivery. It was free alright. Fed Ex came and dumped it on my front lawn. 300 pounds ! I hired a glass company to bring it inside and assemble. The table is just for decor----it is not sat around----only one light object sits on top. After a few months I noticed a crack developing from the edge, moving all the way across the width of the table. I notified Houzz and sent pictures. They gave me nothing but push-back. After many weeks they were able to get the vendor---Wholesale Living in California---to replace it. But again, they only agreed to dump it on my front lawn. DO NOT purchase through Houzz. They are a clearing house. There is no accountability or customer service. Purchase directly from a vendor that will deal with you and make things right. Now, I have to hire someone to move the replacement table into my home AGAIN, assemble it AGAIN, AND remove the defective 300 pound table. Great way to treat a customer that spent 1, 000 bucks at your business. RUN !

Houzz charges

I received my order in a timely manner and was pretty satisfied with my purchase. About one or two weeks later I got billed by Houzz and they charged me without my permission. I contacted their customer care service and they said that they'll contact me back later with further instruction. They said that was an accident and assured me that there was nothing to worry about. Well, I'm super nervous and worried, because a lot of time passed and I still have no information about my refund. The worst thing is that I can't reach Houzz customer service! I think I was scammed and these people simply stole from me and never planned to return my money. Please, don't buy from this terrible store, they are not to be trusted!

Houzz - potential client as scams

My name is Sasha Esquilin and I have been receiving emails from client who have wanted Home Staging service from me. The one client I have spoken to, she didn't seem like a scam at first. She sent me an email about her life and about her husband being a software Engineer and that they were moving from UK to New Jersey. So I was speaking to her for a month...

Houzz wooden floating hourglass

Good morning I am not sure if you will read this or not, but really hoping so! My Mom ordered a floating hourglass from the Houzz website. My 79 yr old Mom put a lot of effort into picking the perfect one our for our 30th Wedding Anniversary which is Jan 1st Our gift arrived and it was broken, beyond repair. My Mom contacted Houzz customer service and they requested pictures which we sent immediately. A replacement was ordered, that shipment didn't even make it to us, it was intercepted and sent back by FedEx as damaged. Again my Mom contacted Alison in customer service. The 3rd floating hourglass was ordered as a replacement and we received it yesterday, AGAIN completely broken. I called my Mom and said "You won't believe this, broken again!" No where on the box does it say "glass" or "fragile" the packaging is thin for the item. I can send pics if you like. I feel so bad as my Mom was so excited for us to receive this gift 😢 She told us she looked at a lot of hourglass items but this one meant the most. She was told it was a 60 minute hourglass, Jan 1st was our 30th Wedding Anniversary she thought well there are 2 of us 30 plus 30 equals 60 ☺️ So sweet ❤️ So my Mom was of course upset when I called her yesterday to tell her the bad news again. This morning I started looking for a way to get in contact with your company. I would think you would want to know about extreme cases like this! Obviously the vendor your company is dealing with is not packaging and shipping items or at least not this item correctly. I hope you read this message and respond. My name is Kay Hoffland [protected]
Thank you for your time

Houzz nightmare of an experience with houzz

Had the most awful experience with Houzz.

Ordered a sideboard which arrived damaged. It took them over a month to pick up my damaged piece of furniture due to their representative providing both myself and the delivery personnel with the wrong ID number for my case. Delivery personnel ended up in Westchester while I'm in NYC, contacting a person who never requested a pick up.

After several ignored emails to the representative, I started a charge back. My bank then got hold of "evidence" of houzz attempting to pick up furniture (before the ignored emails) and cancelled the chargeback. Called for several weeks to get a refund for a piece of furniture I no longer have, still keep getting the response that they can't refund because of a charge back. “Once the bank processes we will be able to refund you” - the chargeback has been cancelled for three weeks now! I wanted to send them the letter from the bank, proving that the chargeback is cancelled, they refused and insisted on taking care of it themselves.

Received furniture in October, got it picked up mid November - it is January 11 and I am still charged for the furniture. HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE, NIGHTME EXPERIENCE! Steer away! Chances are, you can find the same piece of furniture elsewhere, with no problems and cheaper!

Houzz bad service

I have ordered an item from www.houzz.com and it arrived even faster than I expected. When I opened the package I found out that my item had a small defect. It was nothing special so I decided to forget about it.
About a week later I decided to order something else and when I went to their website I saw that the item (which came damaged) was on sale!
I decided to give it a try and contacted customer service. I explained the situation and asked them to refund the price difference. The rep I spoke to became very rude and impolite and refused to give my money back.
Lesson learned! I will not buy anything from Houzz again.

Houzz very slow delivery!

I can't get my order! I was supposed to get my order a long time ago but they are always moving my ship date! It is impossible to get a refund and they refused to cancel my order! I don't want to wait any longer. I can order the same product from another company, but I first I need my money back! I'm very disappointed with Houzz, they seemed like a trustworthy and reliable company, but they are just another scam! Never again!

Houzz refused to cancel my order

I've purchased some stuff from www.houzz.com and before placing an order I spoke to their rep and he assured me that cancellations and returns are possible. So after I made an order I decided to cancel it because I found the same stuff on another website and price was much cheaper, so I contacted Houzz and asked them to cancel my order. That was done three hours after I placed my original order. They refused to cancel anything, and when I reminded them what they said earlier they said that they have no idea what I was talking about and shipped my order even though I asked them to cancel it! Totally unprofessional business!

Houzz poor delivery service

When I found www.houzz.com and saw all the pictures I was sold! I wanted to buy many things from them to decorate my house. I checked the site and found few things for my bedroom and immediately made an order. I asked them if it was possible to deliver on a certain date and they said yes. But delivery was several days late and they never explained the reason. When I called them they did not pick up, and I had no idea what was going on. I did received my furniture and it was amazing, but they wasted my time.

Houzz they didn't send tracking number or delivery info

Don’t buy from the company www.houzz.com. I ordered décor stuff and lighting from them, but after the seller received the payment, he sent only confirmation information, but it didn’t contain any details about the delivery as well as it was impossible to track the order. I called to this company every day and once the seller started to yell at me and hung up immediately. Total waste of money!

Houzz they delivered the drawers with the holes

We ordered drawers from the company www.houzz.com. We didn’t check it, because it looked ok, when it was delivered. But after 2 days we noticed that there were small holes in all the drawers. I contacted the seller and asked to change it, but the seller told me that I would pay for everything. For return, for change and for the second delivery. It was rip off, so I refused. The company provides really horrible services, so be careful.

Houzz they didn't deliver my cabinet

The company www.houzz.com is real scam. I ordered cabinet from them, but these jerks only told to wait about 3 weeks. After 4 weeks I didn’t get my order. I tried to get any info from the seller, but he advised me to wait more. It was waste of money and time, ‘coz the seller didn’t refund. The worst company ever, so avoid these ### and post comments about your experience with them.

Houzz - unable to reach the seller and return broken item

I ordered some accessories for my kitchen from the website www.houzz.com. I got the package on time and the box wasn’t damaged, but the item was completely broken and useless. It was impossible to reach them by phone, therefore I sent multiple emails. But the seller didn’t reply and I have no idea how to reach him. Not recommended seller. So be careful if...
