Houzz Reviews Summary

The company's reputation is mixed, with notable strengths in product quality and delivery efficiency, as many customers express satisfaction with their purchases and the overall aesthetic appeal of items. However, significant concerns arise regarding customer service, particularly in handling issues related to delivery options, billing disputes, and product defects. Customers frequently report difficulties in reaching support and receiving timely resolutions, leading to frustration. While some patrons appreciate the extensive product selection and smooth purchasing experience, the inconsistency in service responsiveness and problem resolution highlights areas for improvement in their customer service approach.

DO NOT BUY FROM THEM
October 10, 2020

Ordered an item sent wrong one. Sent it back after weeks of emails to Houzz. Now weeks later no refund. First picture was from their purchase page. Second is what I received.

Ordered a product... delayed and delayed. Then they cancelled. They apologized after many calls and gave me a coupon to use for next product. I used the coupon to order another product, but again, delayed and delayed, and then they cancelled again. They might be cheaper than other places but they have no ability to track or deliver the product on time. Just a website to get you to wait forever to see your product, if ever. Just wasting time. The complaint is beyond the order # listed below... it's continuous frustration across multiple orders!

I order a mailbox with custom home address laser cut on the front of the mailbox. It is a contemporary style mailbox with stainless steel accents. The quality of the mailbox is exceptional. I could not have asked for better customer service. They kept me informed of every step of the process. They emailed me today that they would delivery my order today. I then opened the door and it was on my porch. I would recommend Houzz to everyone. A plus product and A plus service.

My 4 month nightmare
September 30, 2020

They made me put one star - if I had my druthers I'd give them NONE. I placed 2 orders in early May. Finally the end of August, the nightmare is over. My furniture, which I was told would be delivered later in May never came until late in July. But that's only part of the problem. It was next to impossible to reach anyone EVER. Due to Covid, they stopped taking phone calls which I understand. But they also did not answer emails. Awful service. Then as I was enjoying my furniture I got 2 pieces of news. First they were refunding my payment on one of the orders because, as they said, I never received it. What? Then, that they were sending me the other order again - they said I'd never received it. Now what was I to do with a second identical piece of furniture? Finally, after a day's worth of phone calls, I got in touch with a supervisor who was able to rectify the situation. I am so done with Houzz and if you're wise, you will quickly decide never to deal with them.

Buyer Beware
September 30, 2020

I placed an Internet order and the next day tried to cancel it.
They do not answer their phone.
There do not have an email address.
Online chat, if you can find it, rudely cut me off after saying essentially nothing.
I would definitely stay away from houzz.com.
They are not customer friendly.
I still have not solved my problem.

Unfulfilled orders
September 30, 2020

Could not sign in to my account after I ordered 2 large, expensive items. Requested forgot password 3 times throughout the day, reached out through Contact Us without any response. There has not been any other way to track my orders, they shipped later than promised if at all. Still trying to find out

Misleading photo?
September 30, 2020

Below are the images of what was advertised on the Houzz site and what we received. When I contacted Houzz that there must be some error, the response was a simple, "This is the price for only one piece." One piece of what. The site said 1 square foot with 12 daisies. We got a strip with three daisies. So what "one" are your referencing?
We ordered the 12 daisies for $43.82, a square foot, but only send three daisies for the same amount?
Really?
How do I return it so I can order elsewhere?

Terrible Customer Service
September 30, 2020

I bought furniture from Houzz, now it is not delivering until the 23rd which is too late. The order was not processed for days. I emailed them, emailed the seller, called the seller and nobody would help me. 72 hour response time is the quote. Then when I chatted with Houzz and I was being respectful the chat person told me they have 72 hours to respond and ended the chat without closing out with me. Buyer beware do not purchase from Houzz. Terrible terrible customer service.

Houzz got hacked
September 5, 2020

Houzz got hacked
I joined Houzz this past June and recently I received a message from a scammer stating he received my pass codes from the hack. I do not trust houzz. If you do business its at extreme risk! I spoke with my representative about this and said I don't trust them giving my information out as a service provider and asked to remove my subscription. She will not and became very distant and curt with me. I guess I will have to eat my mistake and loss I've encured by trusting Houzz. Don't make the same mistake!

I can't for the life of me understand how an ONLINE ONLY shop does not have free returns. Just bought two benches (which were a completely different color than what was pictured) and had to spend over a $100 to return them. I will NEVER order from this website again. Much easier & practical to use Wayfair or Overstock or even Amazon for same products.

APlus Kitchen and Bath in Anaheim California. We had Alex start off with the design and Patrica help my wife pick out the hardware. They did a great job, all of our family and friends can't believe how it turned out. I would highly recommend APlus if you are doing a Kitchen and want the best

I ordered a table and within 48 hours I cancelled my order due to poor measurements. I reached out via email to cancel and they replied saying it maybe be too late to cancel delivery. I reached out to CEVA myself and managed to cancel my delivery for the Houzz team. Ever since then, two and half weeks later along with six follow-up emails requesting my refund (over $700.00) and no one is responding. For a reputable company, this is disappointing and I will never order from them again and will share my experience with my family and my friends and let them know.

Order
August 23, 2020

I purchased a bed over a month ago. ETA of arrival would be July 10-17th. I'm still waiting. I try to call chat and no one ever answer. There's never anyone available. This is ridiculous. I emailed also and all I get s " How would you rate your experience working with Houzz? What experience I never got a reply from anyone. This is beyond ridiculous. I just want to cancel this now.!

Bad Business
August 22, 2020

I order from Houzz on July 7th, 2020 with a delivery date range of July 11th to July 20th, 2020. By July 17th, 2020 I still had not received my product, nor a shipping date. I went to Houzz website and cancelled my order. I found and order the product I needed from another website, was cheaper as well, on July 17th, 2020 and received it on July 20th, 2020. On July 21st, 2020 Houzz emailed my saying they shipped my order, even after I cancelled it. I went to their website again and cancelled my order as well as calling them to cancel my order, both of which did not receive a reply. On July 22nd, 2020 I received the order I cancelled and now have to return to Houzz, I'm sure since they did not respond to the cancelation they will probably not respond to a return and I will have to have my credit card reverse the charge. Stay away from Houzz, DO NOT order anything from this company, AVOID it like coronavirus.

Clueless in Houzz
July 23, 2020

I ordered and paid for a product. 2 weeks later I get an email saying the order has been cancelled as they are out of stock. Who does this. Why take my money and order if you have none in stock.

GOPLUS Corp
August 17, 2020

My order from 7/6 was shipped in separate boxes and shipments. The second box has not arrived. Daily emails from GOPLUS state "FedEx shipment will arrive today" please wait. GOPLUS Corp shipped the second box from Canada to12 different FedEx stops from CA and across the US. Why? Unfortunately still waiting. When the seller offers free shipping they should indicate the number of shipments and estimated delivery for using free shipping!
