Pressure Sales tactic, lying
Raymour and Flanagan, a corporate culture of ripping off customers - I'd rather shop at a local business.

Generally speaking I always prefer to shop at a local business. A local business is a place where I know the owner has his (or her) life, soul and personal bank account poured into their business...And in many case I know the owner because he works there. They care about their customers, they have to, their life depends on it...

Unlike a huge corporate outfit like Raymour and Flanagan that can buy an endless stream of customers with a giant advertising budget. A franchised business, or any small business for that matter must depend of repeat customers, word of mouth and their reputation for high quality and over the top customer service.

The ironic truth is; that at some point the customer pool for these giant rip-off machines will run dry...W.T. Grants comes to mind, what about GM, or The Wiz, & Pan Am...All giant companies, all out of business because people got fed-up with junk being served up by people who don't care...If you don't sell quality products and provide outstanding customer service you will go out of business, it happens every time. Raymour and Flanagan will soon be on that list because they simply don't care about their customers. They figure the average person doesn't purchase furniture on a regular basis so they can rip you off and it's not like they'd see you next week anyway. True enough they will burn out their customer base and claim some Chapter 7 or 11 soon enough, you can bet on it.

My unfortunate experience happened when it came time for a new bedroom set, we decided to go to Raymour and Flanagan, . Yes we hear the radio spots and see the endless TV commercials...Boy what a mistake, a rip-off experience if I ever saw one. Pressure tactics by ill informed sales people. Lying about their financing policies, being told a sale ends that day to add pressure to the decision, not being able to cancel an order without a charge, paying for delivery and every conceivable worst practice a business can subscribe to equals Raymour and Flanagan...I will never recommend to shop at Raymour and Flanagan. They are becoming an example in my business seminars of what not to do to be a successful business.

Don't believe me? See hundreds of complaints at numerous complaint websites...It is endless. I'd be laughing except that they stole over $3000 from me through pressure techniques that would make a used car salesperson blush.

ORDERED AND PAID FOR FURNITURE THAT NEVER ARRIVED
We went to purchase furniture on 12/31/09. We found a leather set that we really loved. We asked if it came in black, and we were told yes it did, but it would have to be ordered. They said it would take 8-12 weeks at the most to come in, but most times it comes in sooner. This was not a problem and so we ordered it. The twelve weeks was up March 31. The first week in April I called and was told that it would be here the following week. I waited 2 more weeks and called again. I was told it would be the following week. I then called the following week, and was told May 3rd. They assured me it would be here by then. I called May 2nd to make sure the date was still set for May 3rd and they said it would be in the store on May 3rd, an they would call me. No call came. On May 4th I called the store once again, and was told that it was in the "port" in New York, and would be at the store any day now. I asked to speak to a manager and was told that the manager couldn't do anything for me. I said that I was very annoyed and wanted to speak to someone in charge. I was then told the manager was busy and would call me back. No call came. A few hours later I called back again and asked once again to speak to the manager. I was told once again that she was busy. I then asked for cooperate headquarters phone number, and I was told that they couldn't do anything for me, and I should keep it local. I replied that I was told the manager couldn't do anything for me, and I can't seem to get to talk to the manager, and I wanted cooperates number. I was told the manager would return my call. I said that I expected a call within the hour. I waited and did not receive a call. I then got cooperates number and called them. They said that there really isn't anything they can do, that they are at the mercy of the vender, and have no control over whenever it comes in. I was then told that it should be here now by May 13th, but that date wasn't definite. I said that I should be compensated in some way because this is ridiculous, and I was offered a $100.00 gift card. I feel that this was not acceptable, and I just didn't even want to deal with this company any longer. I said that I wanted to cancel the order and have my money refunded, which is what I ended up doing. This company has AWFUL customer service, and didn't seem to care. I would not buy anything from them EVER! I also think they should change their slogan from "get your furniture in 3 days or less" to "get your furniture in 3 years or less" I should also mention that when I went today to the store (they wouldn't do the refund over the phone) someone else was calling obviously checking on their furniture and I heard the woman saying "well it didn't come in, and it's supposed to come in on Friday" so obviously I'm not the only one they are doing this to.

horrible quality; awful cust service
Bought 9 pieces of furniture from R&F 1/08, noticed two problems soon after (broken left arm on one sofa, broken right arm on another). After dozens of calls and 4 months of so many failed promises, I still have 2 broken pieces of furniture and no action has been taken to apologize for the problems and repair or replace the furniture. The level of incompetence and ignorance among staff is so shocking; I have never experienced anything like it. There are so many examples of their cluelessness, I will not list them all here. One fellow couldn't figure out how to get a quarter for the parking meter so he couldn't keep his appointment to come in to repair the furniture. A month later, another fellow spent 60 seconds in my home and said, "Can't fix them here. I'll tell my manager." That was weeks ago; not a word from anyone since. How do they sleep at night? I am writing to my attorney general and consumer protection people, but I'm not wildly optimistic given the huge number of complaints I now read on this site.

Furniture Delivery
I ordered a sleeper sofa at the end of January. It was a special custom order with a coil mattress--which is a regular mattress with an inflatable air mattress built in which needed a pump. I was told because this was a special order it would take approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Upon delivery sometime in the middle of March--it was delivered--with the wrong mattress. I also ordered a matching loveseat--which came--without FEET. I immediately called the store--and was told--that a coil mattress is a special order--NO KIDDING!!! I knew that when I ORDERED IT. It took four weeks of constant calling and being given the run around to finally get the mattress--however, they did not bring the PUMP--which needed in order to inflate my special custom order mattress. I am still waiting for the pump to be delivered. I have been calling and getting the "manager" who is supposed to call back and never does. Warning: DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE.

Poor customer service!
At the beginning of September 2007, we went into Raymour and Flanagan to look at couches. My husband didn't want fabric, so we ended up looking at leather. We found one we liked and decided to purchase it. We ALSO decided to purchase a foam mattress bed and a full size bed for our spare room. The beds are fine, but the couch smells to high heaven. It's not a regular leather smell. I can't even explain it more than it smells sour or putrid.

I called the company 2 weeks ago. Talked to a woman at the main desk. Told her I didn't want a return a just wanted an exchange for a fabric couch. She was very understanding, told me that she has the same "smell" in one of her couches and that she needed to send an e-mail to the store manager and district manager, and that someone would get back to me either Saturday or Monday. Needless to say, those days went by and I received no phone call. When I called and talked to "said" girl, she basically acted like I hadn't even spoke to her, and told me that she would transfer me over to my sales person who took care of us. I told her that on Friday when I spoke to her she said it wasn't a sales person issue. She said she had to transfer me anyway. Of course, the sales woman got on the phone, I explained the issue to her and OF COURSE, she had to transfer me to her store manager. After speaking with him, he said that it stated right on the back of our contract that they do not do any exchanges or returns and that if I wanted to do an exchange, he'd have to get approval from his district manager and I'd have to pay a 20% rehandling fee. I wanted to say... ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!! I have to pay you more money cuz I'M not satisfied??!! After talking to my husband, he vetoed the idea of giving them any more money. I will NEVER shop at Raymour and Flanagan again. They DO NOT take care of their customers... but they DO take your money!!!

GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

Terrible customer service
Salesperson rude..kept leaving us once a prior customer returned to pick out additional items. 45 mins wasted waiting for her.

When we were unsure about the size of a large piece, the saleslady informed us that we should order it anyway because of the sale, and there would be no problem with return. Ha!

First we had to deal with the store manager... after 5 phone calls, it was decided that I would be allowed to return the furniture.

2 weeks it took up space in my home, despite them knowing that I was scheduled to have carpet laid on that room. The third week my husband and son had to rent a dolly to take the 3 heavy pieces out to my garage. A total of 3 weeks of inconvenience.

Now finally, delivery date was set...between 8am and 1pm on my day off, a beautiful day that I could have spent outdoors with my family.

At 2:45 pm, I received a phone call stating that the men still had 3 stops ahead of me. Nice of them to call, finally! The little voice saying "I'm sorry" meant nothing to me.

Thank goodness, I purchased on a 1 month billing with no interest charge, and did not pay them anything. If it is that difficult for them to pick up their own goods, can you just imagine how they would be with returning my money!?!
