Customer Service
Very, very poor customer service. There may be only one person doing customer service as all the other people who pick up the phone is from sales. Not true to their word, as in the estimated ship date, or maybe the manufacturer who they order from is to blame, so they say. After reading all other complaints, I guess I'm not the only one who've waited for so long for an estimated ship date (not even a confirmed one) -- which came out to be almost 2 months from the time I ordered. Their contract with the manufacturer is one where they do not have direct contact on orders placed -- not a good deal. I've asked them to contact the manufacturer but they said they could not. They are the manufacturer's customer so they should be able to have a say. I guess that is why sales cannot answer any questions. All they can do is put in the order for you, or get your money in their bank as soon as possible. Never order here. In your frustration, you might end up canceling an order, then get refunded your money less 25% for cancellation fee -- for a product you've never held in your hand, or maybe the manufacturer has not even started to make! I've worked with a manufacturer before and we only billed a product once shipped. So this company shouldn't even have gotten billed; so what is the problem in returning my full refund? They've already got interest gained from it. And in the meantime, I also incurred interest in my credit card! Never, never, never. They're bad business.

unreasonable return policy
I ordered 2 lamps from this company. I received the order to find that one of the shades was bent out of shape, and that upon inspection of the lamps, I found the lamps to be not as described on line and of very poor quality for the cost of the lamps. I called customer service to inquire about returning the lamps for the reasons noted above, and was told by Matt that I would have to first email photos of the damaged shade, and once the photos were reviewed by "management", I would be notified regarding the "claim". Depending on the decision, I would then be required to ship the lamps back within 10 days for a re-stocking fee of 50% of the total order! The order total is $474.00. 50% would be the cost of one of the lamps.
The people with whom I spoke at Ira Woods & Sons are unreasonable, and nit overly bright. I requested to speak to the sales GM whom had sent me the order online, but was never able to be connected to him.
I have never had a single problem when returning merchandise to J.C Penney, or similar reputable companies. I find it also interesting that now, I cannot find the lamps I ordered from IW&S on their website, nor under the Uttermost Company list of online companies offering their products.
This company's treatment of their customers is shameful and reprehensible.

Deceptive
I bought a $375 Plumbing fixture from Ira Woods & Sons. My installer said it would not fit due to my sink area. I tried to return it 3 days after I recieved it & I was told it was now "a closeout item & non-returnable". No where in my purchase transaction was I informed of this. After much discussion w/ their Customer Service department, "Management" agreed to charge me a 25% Restock fee, but only if I purchased something of equivalent value to my original purchase. So I had to pay $40.00 to ship the original back, + $93.o0 restock, to get a credit for $282, but I had to spend the equivalent of my original $375, so it cost me another $100+. Never ever will I deal w/ them again.

Illegal business practices
I ordered a toilet/bidet combination February 22, 2010. The price of $1574.91 was immediately charged to my AMEX account. I called twice--the first time I was told it was back ordered and an email was sent explaining my options. I never received an email. The second time I called I was told Matt "stepped out of the building, but I see that it was shipped today and a confirming email has been sent." I never received an email.

Impossible to return the item
Purchased a hot water dispenser from Ira Woods, it was not what I wanted so it was returned. They have E-mailed me that it was installed and will not refund my money. I returned just what I received, I did not install it, never removed it from the box. I want my money back ! This is just wrong.

No customer service at all
I ordered a towel warmer on Dec 5 as a Christams gift. When there was no sign of it by Dec 14, I e-mailed and was told it would be here mid Jan. No one had bothered to let me know. Then by 20 January it still had not arrived. I sent a total of 8 e-mails, and left 7 voice mail messages. NO-one contacted me. I was desperate. Then on February 4 it showed up and I was given a 3 days to check it out - impossible as I am now not at that address.NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL _ DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM.

Never again I will buy from this store
I bought a Cuisinart Toaster oven as a Christmas present for my mom. It took Ira Wood more than a month to ship the order. When it finally arrived we looked at it and my mom decided she wants a different size oven. When I call the store it turned out they don’t take returns! They referred to some list of non-returnable item groups that I was somehow supposed to relate to the product I was getting. So now I am stuck with an item I don’t need. Never again I will buy from this store!

I don't like being deceived and that is exactly what this company did to me
I needed an Eemax water heater and the web site promised same day or next day shipping which is the only reason I ordered from them. After two days I received an email stating that my order was "approved" and I would get an email notification of shipment. After 10 days I called customer service and they were very friendly and told me the order had shipped, 7 days later the order showed up. I am thankful that I received the order but I will not do any more business with this company nor would I recommend them. I don't like being deceived and that is exactly what this company did to me.

Terrible company
Ordered a bathroom faucet three weeks ago - so much for same day shipping. I contacted customer service and they were pretty quick about getting back to me every time I e-mailed. But I asked about the same day shipping. Their answer was that is was being direct shipped from the mfg. More days went on and I told them I would be contacting my credit card company to file a complaint - I gave them 4 days to produce proof. Finally they said it was shipped and as soon as they had a tracking number they'd forward that info to me. The next day I said they had until the end of business that day to prove that it was shipped by a reputable company. If was shipped that wouldn't be so hard to do. The next day I received word that my order was cancelled and my CC would be refunded. After three weeks I am find with it but my last question to them was 'If it was shipped, why did my order get cancelled?' I wish I would of read these reviews first and will read reviews of any other online retailer before pressing the purchase button.

Dishonest return policy
I purchased an espresso maker and when it arrived the quality was poor so I called to return it. It was only then that I learned they not only charge a restocking fee of 25% but that they won't refund your money. They will only give yo a gift certificate. NO WHERE during the purchasing process did they alert the consumer to this dishonest business practice. I was told by Customer Service that I should have read the "general conditions" statment which I later found buried in small print. I will never buy from them again so I have lost all of money!
