The Brick
reviews and complaints

Hello,

I bought it a year ago sectional, it was immediately apparent that he was defective .
Very quickly, he began to creak and warped.
Repairs were carried out three times, but after a week, everything repeated squeaks and cushions deformed . As a result, they gave me a credit of $ 260, for which I cannot buy a new sofa. What should I do ?

I had a bed delivered. They damaged my walls. I was told someone would contact me. Waited a week and no one contacted Me. So I called. Spoke to someone and she said someone would contact me. I asked that they email me and not call me as I would be out of the country. It has been a week and no one has contacted me. Not finding the service very good if I have to follow up on destruction of my property. You think someone would care about this!

I have purchased a bed in 2018 and having issue with my bed as its under warranty.When i logged a complaint with them somebody showed up and its more than 4 months no action has been taken.

I have also received a call from brick office to provide me a rails but unfortunately my purpose will not be solved .
My bed is broken and when brick technician visited he checked and agreed with us that he need to make new holes, rails and legs.
We can't do such kind of repairs and your technician confirmed that he will fix once rails and legs are in stock.

After sending so many emails to Shayne of kitchener office now nobody is replying whats going on?
Its seems like i am cheated by brick people on boxing day sale.

Can you give me tentative date for the fixation from the tech. Otherwise please send somebody to take back the bed and refund us the whole bed money.

Thanks,

Harpreet

I purchased a queen bedroom set 6 months ago, 2 months later I bought a Queen mattress with box spring. There is an over 8 inches gap between the headboard and the mattress and box spring. I called the bricks and made them aware, 4 months later my child was stuck in the gap, I called again and a manager at the brick required an email with photos which I did. 2 days later they called me to schedule an appointment with a technician which was for today.
Today, the tech came, took a look and submit his assessment "not a repairable defect". I called the store who tried to brush me off when I mentioned that it is a safety hazard, they escalate it to the manager. I was told that the manager will call me in an hour. I waited nobody called me, then I called which was picked up by the manager name Rohit. Super rude, no professionalism, no etiquette at all, with the attitude of "I don't care" he tried to brush me off. After listening to my concern, the first thing he said "no need to shout" when I was not. He said many things to make it my fault when nothing worked, he said "you did not notify us in 48 hours so we cannot do anything.
Few things here, 1) Store management need to be given some training to be human at least. 2) Instead of alleging customer, the manager should at least look at the issue, 3) The manager even had not read the assessment of technician and kept debating, waisted his and customer's time. TheBrick should own the product instead of saying "we can't do anything".
It is a safety risk, brick should recall the product and compensate the customers.

I purchased a mattress set in Sudbuy, once we got it home an unpackaged we discovered that the box spring is of poor quality and would like to return it for the extra $95.00 we paid for it. I was told that they will not take it back, this is new never used, I wanted to return it 2 hours after picking it up. Its not like you get to see the box sping at the store before before ordering a set. I still would like to return the box spring for a refund of what I paid for it.

I finally just received a call back from Sbybd after I send this email about how I am being treated as a customer of the Brick @1943. The call lasted until 1953 - 10mins exactly.

The whole entire conversation was based around how he said he called me and left me numerous of messages. This is untrue as I have no voicemail whatsoever from this gentleman and I was home all day as I had to take the day off work for my delivery to come.

He continued to tell me he called and when I told that was not the case and I extremely unhappy with the service that I was getting from the brick.

He wanted me to send more photos which I did and that still wasn't good enough for him. I don't know what else I could've done as a customer, but be very frustrated.

He not only did not offer any solutions to this problem he actually blamed me. I don't know if this is how you treat all your customers, but if so I am a palled at the way this gentleman was speaking to me.

I will be escalating this complaint to the management of the brick, head office, Facebook, Instagram, and and letting everyone know how the Brick has treated me

So, is this how you treat customers. I make a $3, 000.00 purchase and you do not honour your commitment as per the Bricks policy.

No one has gotten back to me and my appliances are sitting in the middle my laundry room. I was told that Sbybd would be getting back to me when I called today May 14, 2019 @ 1400hrs approx

I am a palled at the way I'm being treated by the brick and will continue to let social media know that this is happening.

I will also escalate this to head office

Got 2 swivel chair one broke after 5 months. Repair person comes and can't fix it,
I'm being adviced not to use it or we could get hurt. No problem they will replace the seat. Waited for many arrivals dates for the new seat. Waited 4 months till they realized
Seat won't be available. Ok I take the chair I could not use for 4 months to the garbage, after all it's useless to me.
Brick gives in store credit $ 1229.00 for replacement chairs. Don't like what the have.
Waiting for better selection. Time running out for replacement. Go to Brick, pick one chair, got papers done, was told to return broken chair when picking up new one.
Ops, don't have broken useless chair anymore. Well, we only can give you $250.00 towards new in store purchase.
Not really great for me. I'm stock with one chair and one in store credit of 250.
I will tell you I won't spend another dime in that store, especially when all this is not my fault.
It took 4 months to find out that a replacement is not available ?
I would have to pick some chair who does not match all my other stuff !
I have to buy more stuff at the brick with more $ OF MINE TO SPEND.
STILL NOT MY FAULT.
Not happy at all !
I rather have brick send my 250. To the food bank, then give them one cent more of my money !
I have to say sales men are very nice, not so much manager women, no help at all,

Claim # 3657595 Sept.10 2018
Store huntclub Ottawa

Bought TV stand on Feb 8, 2019 in Toronto. Document # 0208954JYBZ. Upon unwarpping the product found that 2 out of the 3 drawers were broken. I have sent emails, phone calls, gone to the store to no avail. All my efforts have been completely ignored. The Brick even sent someone over to inspect and send in a report, never heard a word from that. I have been very patient, but at this point I want The Brick to come and pick up their merchandize and give me a full refund.
I'm sorry but I can't attach emails or photos.
I have sent emails and photos to: nyc@thebrick.com

I am looking forward to a quick resolution,
Thank you

We purchased a sectional couch on March 28 and as of today, the full couch is not even in their warehouse. Yesterday (May 9th) This is the manager Lena..at the Brick in Mississauga (dixie and dundas location), qas the rudest, most insensitive, inconsiderate, dismissive manager i have ever tried to deal with. We are a family of 5 that have been waiting for 60 days for a couch that we STILL haven't recieved...despite being told it would be approx. 25 days...dispite having to call a number of times...and speking the store manager Charlie, some senior sales rep Preeti, our sales reb Ben. After ezpressing my anger and disappointment, LENA thought is was appropriate to get up and walk away dif conversation, throw her business card at me, tell me to shut up(because i told her she has no busines being a manager. And her customer service skills are more fitting of a janitor! Which is true!), attempt to close her office door on me while im standing in the door way, laugh and call me unreasonable...and just blatantly not care!

Not one person in the store would wait over 60 for a couch! Yet shes telling me that im being unseasonable..and she even chuckles a bit when i said "...i want a couch!" How insensitive can you be? How much more customer service can you lack...and shes the manager?

The brick will NEVER EVER EVER get another penny from me! Horrible horrible experience.

They should of told us from the beining that we would have to wait over a month for a couch...but no! Take our money and blame the manufacturer...mean while the couch is still on the floor being sold, like its not on back order

In the end, we did get $200 refunded on a $2300.00 couch...and were still waiting!

Never again.

I bought a Sofa Set from them and Thanks to God i bought a warranty for additional price. The Sofa is a Junk... I could have bought better item from a Garage Sale. I claimed warranty which is quite a long process. There was no repair so under warranty I got a replacement as it was insured.. Obviously Brick has no liability. I had the same problem again and this time they don't have any replacement part so they are offering only store credit. To be true I don't want to buy another junk but I have no choice either I have to loose my money or take another junk. As they put a deadline than I have to go and pay additional fee and buy new one. The delivery is still pending. I Don't want another piece of junk from them. I want my money back.

We bought a new Whirlpool Dishwasher and after getting it install by a plumber, we were told that it was DOA...we called The Brick in Canmore and we will have to wait for at least to more week to get the same replacement. And plumber fees again at our cost. We did contact Whirlpool that sent a technician the following day to advise us that this dishwasher was defective before we installed it. Since the past 3 opening days and a weekend no news from Whirpool. They are telling us that they did not receive the tech report and they can do anything about it. Not even call the tech guy...Dont buy a dishwasher at The Brickb the service is nonexistent and nobody cares. Service level = -0

Sales associate confirmed delivery date multiple times with us for our new couch. It is now the day before our schedule delivery date, and we haven't heard a confirmation. So we phoned to find out what time-frame we should be expecting our delivery in order to plan our day accordingly. Instead, we find out our order in fact is not even in stock.

Seriously... come on. No one even bothered to contact us to let us know it has been delayed.

Hello Brick team,

I am a new customer to the esteemed store 'The Brick' and as any new customer would be I was extremely happy about my purchases at the store.

Also, to mention I'm a new immigrant to Canada and this happens to be my very first major purchase for my new livelihood here.

I came into the store with a clear mind to buy a King bed and mattress. However, on being told about the same to the sales representative that I'm going to move into a basement accommodation, he told that a King bed cannot move into the basement and no one buys a King bed for basement.

Though my need was a King bed, but on being convinced my sales representative, I changed my decision to a queen bed. And I purchased the bed and mattress.

Now, when it gets delivered I found that I could have easily bought a King as there is ample space for it in my accommodation.
The day the goods for delivered and installed, I could see that it's not going to work for me. Because, I find it too small that my need. And I requested the brick store to kindly assist me in finding a solution to it.
However, it was so difficult to first of all reach out to them on phone and then later when I could explain my displeasure and non satisfaction, they assured that they will get back to me with a solution. But, to my utter dismay no one called me back. I'm still not using it because I haven't yet moved in to the basement accommodation.

I really feel so much sad and disheartened that that's how you leave a person whose your new customer and more so a new immigrant who know so less about things around and rather than helping me out and I have absolutely no response.

I'm thankful that I didn't pick the rest of the stuff from brick store because in that case I would have regretted more and more.

Can anyone reach me out for assistance from the brick team or should I assume that this too doesn't affect anyone. Look forward to someone who can help me out.

Regards,
Parwinderjit Singh

With absolutely nothing on the table, and for unknown reason, the table blew to pieces, throwing glass over 8 feet in all directions, I think that is a safety issue! We ate dinner at it everyday, just luck that it blew up all by itself 15 minutes before we would have sat down to dinner. I keep my dog's crate under it, not as big and doesn't touch the table, thinking it was a safe place when were not home for him, with stickers indicating on our windows in case of fire, where the dog is, thank god he was not in it, thank god he was not in the room, and actually outside when it blew... Total safety issue, don't sell tempered glass, discontinue its dangerous!

on April 27th we bought a portable dishwasher first time use on it's final rinse it decided to pour out water from the bottom leaving my kitchen and basement flooded, they kindly exchange it for another on April 29th and this time we watch it as we ran it for the first time and yet again it does the same thing, now there is no other model to exchange with and the way they are talking I am getting refused a refund as there getting a service person to fix it, I don't want a dishwasher that had to be serviced the first time of using it, I bought brand new to have one that lasted me a long time before this happened. all i want is my refund so I can go buy another model. I am on low income and $700 is a big loss for me.

Technician came n had a look 2 weeks back n he said someone from customer service will call with in 5 days n if I don't receive any call I should make a call myself. As I am not able to find any no. To call that's y sending this message. Wants to know what progress has been done in my case.
As I went to the customer service office available at the bricks at Maclaughlin. N told her that ever since I bought the stuff from bricks I am having issues. N clearly told her that if nothing is done soon I will escalate this matter n will bring all the stuff to the store myself.

I am supposed to get a cheque for a refund. Now after more than two weeks they said today that they have not yet sent the e-mail to the office for my refund cheque.
Yjis is regarding work. Now how can I put that money back from my pocket. I have been calling everyday. The sales perdon laughs at my plight. I am a source of entertainment. because I am calling about my refund since the 8th April.'19
