I ordered a bunkbed set for my grandchildren for Christmas, which they were so excited about getting, from Wayfair in the beginning of October of 2019. After several botched deliveries by their delivery company and very little help from Wayfair. We we the ones ALWAYS having to contact the furniture company or delivery company trying to get the correct boxes delivered. We finally gave up on that set of bunkbeds and ordered a new set through Wayfair from another company. Well guess what? They once again only delivered one of the three boxes we need. No help once again from Wayfair we are trying to work with the delivery company to get the remaining boxes. By the way today is Feb 7,2020. My grandsons are sleeping on matresses on the floor, Christmas has come and gone. I would NEVER EVER recommend buying ANYTHING from Wayfair. Their customer service is almost nonexistent. Don't put yourself through what we have gone through.

Placed order. They promised delivery on 1/29. As of 2/6 no delivery. Fed Ex says no product movement. Even worse no customer service to call. They don't recognize my user name and password. I'm stuck with denying the charge when I get my CC bill. Lesson learned, never do business with someone that doesn't publish a phone number.

I can't believe how bad Wayfair is. Beyond incompetent and their customer service is even worse at a executive level. They also use XPO Logistics which are AWFUL.

If you reading this review RUN RUN very far away. If you have a pending order CANCEL and thank me later.

XPO lost my order for two days and then on delivery date 20 minutes before the latest time on the delivery they call and say they only have a mattress and no box frame that I ordered. Rejected delivery. This after nearly 3 weeks.

Wayfair on the other hand SUCKED in trying to get a refund for the rejected delivery. It took 6 calls on the same day for them to ACTUALLY process my refund. They were only going to give me a $84 refund on a $900 order because they only refunded one item NOT BOTH.

Truly pathetic on both ends.

Safe your time and hassle don't order through this company. They advertise one thing but receive cheap product. Their "staging" of the products are well done to distract the consumer. I have received a different colour couch and really cheaply made, they said they will schedule a pickup for the return and it's been 2 months later and I still have it sitting in my house. Paying interest on something ($2k) and three days off after they have been incapable of picking this crap item. The kick Is, that they will not refund you until the item has been shipped back. So you do the math, they take their time and continuously miss schedule multiple pickups and you're stuck with this large item in your house and paying interest on it. Go to a local store and support your local businesses that truly care. Not this huge corporation that sells misleading merchandise and use your money and time for their own personal gain.

I have ordered with wayfair in the past and was happy with the service and delivery, unfortunately I didn't go thru online reviews before ordering again. Ordered and entertainment unit on 23rd Nov 2019, which is currently advertised as order now and get it delivered by 21st Jan (3days). The original delivery date was 14th Jan. No intimation or email, called up on 13th to confirm delivery and I was told it was pushed to 21st Jan (no reason given). They did refund £65 of the £650 order after I sent a complaint email. Called up today to check if the date is still on and I've been told the delivery will now be on 4th Feb again no reason given and they didnt send any email or text telling about the delay. How in the world are they advertising a 3 day fast delivery? This I would say is fraud!

Stay away from this company.
Every item I have ever ordered has arrived damaged or not as described. Customer service are friendly but they should not have to be apologising over and over again for substandard items

I recently purchased 4 items from Wayfair and all items were either or poor quality, wrong item sent, lost items, or not as described on website. While Wayfair was great about resolving these issues, I was either out of a gift or had to wait to discover that the item was poor and then order from another place to fulfill my need, it has been nothing more of an inconvenience and hassle. I will be looking at other sites in the future knowing that there is a high probability of it not working out. It's nice to have lots of options, but useless if they are misrepresented.

I ordered some outside furniture for a "sale price" from their website. A week later they cancelled my order. Apparently the sale price was a mistake so they didn't want to sell it at that price. I spoke with two customer service people Shelby Nye (manager) and Rachel Packard (supervisor.) They both informed me that it was the right of Wayfair to do that. I find that extremely unethical. IF there is a price on the website, they should honor and not decide a week later that they didn't like the price. I will never buy from them again.

FedEx lies and Wayfair believes everything FedEx tells them.

I ordered a small rug on the 7th of the month. On the 16th FedEx put a first notice on my apartment door claiming they had made a "fourth and final delivery attempt." FedEx's online system said they had rescheduled delivery (an alleged fifth delivery attempt) for the next day, which I then canceled via the automated phone line. FedEx then claimed they made the delivery attempt anyway (no notice left), and that would be the final delivery attempt.

Wayfair then claimed FedEx was waiting for additional info from me. FedEx's automated system claimed, instead, that only the company sending the order can give additional information. I called Wayfair again and they got FedEx on the line and FedEx claimed they would make another allegedly sixth delivery attempt on the 23rd. I waited at home all day and they never buzzed my apartment door. I called Wayfair again, who again got FedEx on the line and FedEx now said there would not be any delivery (allegedly sixth) attempt today, as they already made five delivery attempts! FedEx claims the delivery person has had problems accessing my apartment. There are no barriers at all other than the door buzzer with my apartment number on it.

Wayfair and FedEx offered for me to come and pick up the package. Last time I did that I found that the local FedEx (Fargo, ND) parking lot has no signs directing customers. You have to park randomly and search around until you get to a gate where you are buzzed in. So, I just canceled this order after waiting 16 days for it, and now I have to start all over again with a new seller.

Horrible delivery service
December 19, 2019

Please do not order furniture from Wayfair unless you want to play a ridiculous waiting game and then end up with subpar delivery service.
The couch I ordered was "in transit" 3 miles away from my condo for several days. On the the day it finally arrived (3 days late) I got a call from Wayfair saying FedEx should be able deliver it between 11-2 and that they would call when they got to my condo. I choose the delivery option that was supposed to be an in room delivery. They were supposed to put the couch in my living room. Did they? Nope! They didn't even call! They just decided to ditch my new couch in the middle of my condo lobby! Really? What the heck kind of crap show is this? Absolutely ridiculous!

Customer Service is GREAT
December 17, 2019

This may have changed over the years but as of present (12/16/19), wayfair customer service has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They've issued me credits even when I did not ask for one. They're available to chat most of the time as well.

Defective merchandise
December 16, 2019

Had to have my purchase repaired before I could use it... Also there is no convenient email address on the website to make a complaint. Do to time constraints, there was no time to return the product for replacement and the installer was able to sort of fix it. The ordering and shipping were great, but I don't care for having to repair a new product before you use it

This company is a scam.
I did open a Wayfair account like a year ago, during that time I've been ordering some small stuff and have been waiting for Christmas time to come so I can order a huge order for my kitchen and by using the "promotion " I've could save some win. Win, but unfortunately after ordering the kitchen set few minutes later I'd received a email that my order has been canceled because of unmatched billing address, ok I've made sure and I updated my address with Comenity Bank and also trough the wayfair web site and I called the customer service so we've made three way call to the bank and wayfair to figure out who has what info so the bank verified the correct address and the wayfair lady was like aa ok let me re-order the stuff then after been on a hold for 35 min she came back and told me that they can't re-order the stuff because I've changed my address and is red flag and also is a big order and if I want I can use different payment method... HAHAHHAH
Can you imagine they are refusing to let me BUY with their own credit card with the whole promotion and savings they are offering?
So I've asked her " basically this 7000$ I have on my wayfair credit card is worthless " and she said "Yes".
I never had any internet shopping and banking experience like this one
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY! It's worthless

Ordered something for my holiday party that was supposed to be delivered by 12/12. I call wayfair on the evening of 12/13 asking where my package was and was told that fed ex is busy, hence the delay. Yes, they were apologetic, but this is so unacceptable. No offers to rectify the situation, just a useless apology. So ridiculous. Yes i know its the holidays and its busy, but this time of the year happens every year - why arent they better prepared. Give more accurate lead times - people rely on the delivery dates you provide. Sorry is not enough!

Outstanding Service
December 15, 2019

I order a dining set on Black Friday from Wayfair. I just got a call from the delivery service located in my city with not only an update it had arrived but could deliver it the next day. Total of two weeks with proper communication from the company and the delivery service. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Terrible customer service. Had to call and complain 3 times before my coffee table arrived. The coffee table doesn't even look as described but I'm tired of dealing with wayfair. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Overstock was much more reliable and shipping was fast and painless. Save yourself a headache and dont shop here.

It has been 7 days and still no delivery for an items that was billed "get it by Dec. 5th". All they can do is blame FedEx. FedEx tells me they are refunding the shipping cost but will Wayfair pass that on to me? NO. Their customer service reps don't care but just repeat what tracking says.
