Wrong TV
We purchased a bed from the brick and received a Plasma TV. On the day of the delivery they delivered the bed but they did not give us the TV like they said. they did not even mention it! so I called in to see where it is and they said it will come next month!! Finally it arrives and they give us an LCD TV instead of a plasma TV. I called to see if i could change but they said they couldn't do anything about it. This is the last time i am buying anything from Brick!

Bait and Switch
I purchased a new avdertized sofa and chair from The Brick. I was told that it would take two weeks for delivery. Upon delivery I realized that I had been supplied with floor models. I contacted the store and they claimed that this was a mistake and to keep the floor model furniture and that withim 2 weeks they would supply me with new furniture.
When the new furniture arrived it was obvious that the new furniture was not the same as the floor model furniture I had originally received. The chir I purchased in the store was very wide and roomy. The new chair they delivered to me was much smaller. This was also obvious as you could see the imprint on the carpet from the old chair and the foot print of the new chair was in fact about 7 inches smaller.
I contacted the store and they informed me that there were two models of the chair I purchased and that they would insure that the correct chair was went to me. After waiting several weeks and going through several charis that were the wrong size, I was finally told by the store that there were not two models of this chair and they offered me $200.00 cash credit for the confusion.
Clearly the Brick is using a bait ans switch here, but the mistake they made was sending the used bait furniture and letting me live with it for two weeks so that this was noticable. It is reasonable to expect that if you buy something in the store and not ahve it delievered for 2 weeks that the difference in size would not be noticable.
I tried to contact head office about this but they just kept referring me back to the store. If you are buying furniture from the Brick, please take measurements of what you purchase and check what they have delivered to you.
As for me I will never buy from the Brick again!!!

Not honoring Furniture protection plan
We bought 6 pcs. Dinnette from The Brick with protection plan of 5 yrs. in Oct 2008, and after delivery noticed that one of the Chair Leg is not good. Leg was not fixed improperly in the frame, we called them and Brick Rep took pictures and assure that soon you will get the new chair leg for your chair. After 2 months leg arrived from China but when packaged was opened found that they sent wrong colored chair? on that discovery when contacted customer service they told us that its not a problem we will ask quick delivery of new one on Sep 4 finally new package came and they called to pick up. However this time they sent both left legs but right color not the Right side leg which was required?
Its about a year and Brick failed to honor guarantee service on our dinetee for which we have already paid under protection plan.

Dishonest Sales,Uncaring Management
My elderly mother purchased a bed, including frame, box spring and mattress, at the brick. They promised her delivery of the product a week later. Subsequently, she arranged for her old bed to be picked up, leaving her without a bed. She had this timed so the old bed would be gone the same day the new bed was promised by the salesman. Makes perfect sense doesn't it? Well, two weeks later and she still has no bed. She has now been informed her bed is on back order and they have no idea when it will be delivered or even arrive in Regina. I spoke to the "General Sales Manager" and asked that they do two things. First, inform her of when the bed would arrive as soon as they knew, (basically keep her informed and pressure the Calgary warehouse to expedite). Secondly, deliver the bed the day it arrives. Now, she lives 15 minutes outside of town from the Brick, closer than if they delivered to the other side of Regina, but they only deliver "out of town" on Fridays. So even if her bed comes in on a Monday, she will still have to wait an additional week for it to be delivered.
The "Sales Manager" said he did not have a budget to deliver out of town on days other than Friday and that they were booked solid for delivery for the next week at least. We requested that they then engage a different company to do the delivery as my 70 year old mother has been sleeping on the FLOOR FOR TWO WEEKS.
This apparently is impossible for the Brick to do. They can not: A. figure out where the product is that has already been paid for, B. Deliver it as soon as it comes in, C. Understand anything about customer service.
The simple answer to our query was that they would provide timely information and ensure that the day it arrived in Regina it would be delivered. A simple request!
Instead the Sales Manager blamed my mother. "Why did she purchase a bed on back order?" "It is her fault she got rid of her old bed"...UNBELIEVABLE.
DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THE BRICK. Service is atrocious, and the only thing that happens quickly is the charge on your VISA. They are no better that the worst stereotype of used car salesmen, make the sale and move on, who cares about the customer or the product!

Rude Customers
I am so absolutely sick and tired of people treating me with zero respect when I am at work. Yes I understand that your furniture may come in damaged, or the wrong color, missing hardware etc. but that is NO REASON to treat the person on the other side of the phone no less than a human being. I had a customer who got a leather sofa delivered and it came with a small cut on the back so he called in and got so angry that he decided to call me a STUPID C*NT. I have been called every single rude name in the book and gone home extremely upset on many occasions. And for what? Because some stupid ass has to wait another week for his furniture. Believe it or not, STUFF HAPPENS!!
Take a step back and assess the situation and realize whether being ignorant towards me will fix your problem. I cant make your furniture come any sooner, I cant give you all your money back if your not happy with your furnitre after 4 years, and I sure as hell cant give you an exchange on a sofa after you've put numerous cigarette stains in it and let your dog use it as a chew toy.
People need to smarten the hell up and realize they are going to get much more done by being polite and respectful rather than using screaming, swearing, and agressivness.

Delivery troubles
I purchased a $4000++ kid bedroom set. It was delivered without the bottom floor of the drawer (the drawer under the bed)AND they delivered the wrong mirror. FINE..I call, complain...ok, they will deliver the correct mirror, but I must pick up the drawer's bottom floor at the store. GREAT. NOW THE HELL STARTS. They tell me they will come from 10 to 1 pm on Friday...we waited until 7:20 pm...no delivery. We called numerous times...at 3 pm, they said...it will be there in 2 hours...ha! The next day I call to reschedule...delivery time is from 2:30 til 10 pm on Saturday...no delivery, no calls back, no one answers the phone, when they do, they hang up...wonderful delivery service!!! Then they reschedule for Wednesday...with a note that they must call one hour prior to coming...they show up without calling...good thing I was home...the mirror gets installed AGAIN and I realize that the mirror has an internal black spot right in the middle...WONDERFUL...again, I call, complain, and when the drawer bottom arrives for my pick up, I will go out of my way to return the mirror and get the new mirror as well...only because I refuse to wait a 5th time for a delivery and waste all my time and get frustrated for their poor service and quality control. I doubt I will ever purchase again from them until there is some type of proof that their delivery program has drastically improved!

Delivery service and quality control
I purchased a $4000++ kid bedroom set. It was delivered without the bottom floor of the drawer (the drawer under the bed)AND they delivered the wrong mirror. FINE..I call, complain...ok, they will deliver the correct mirror, but I must pick up the drawer's base at the store. GREAT. They tell me they will come from 10 to 1 pm on Friday...we waited until 7:20 pm...no delivery. ..no phone call, no explanation...and sometimes, no phone answer. We called numerous times...at 3 pm, they said...it will be there in 2 hours...ha! The next day I call to reschedule...delivery time is from 2:30 til 10 pm on Saturday...no delivery, no call back, no one answers the phone, when they do, they hang up...wonderful delivery service!!!
