I ordered a replacement tarp and paid 9.99 for 2 day shipping I was mad when I found out it has 3 day processing time. But then they got there within 5 days and the item was perfect. I am very pleased and happy with the product.

“Worst”

They sent me around and around for months! They stopped responding via email, so I had to call to speak with a supervisor, and even after that, I had to stay on them because they wouldn't return calls or emails on their own deadlines. Then they promised me a refund, but turned around a week later and changed their mind. Wouldn't uphold the warranty, and offered me a crappy replacement of an entirely different product! Absolutely ridiculous.

I am not able to review the item I ordered from Hayneedle because I never received it. I ordered a dresser and it was shipped quickly but it sat at a local FedEx facility for two weeks and every time I called FedEx about it, it would change to being delivered that day and of course never was, now it just disappeared into thin air. I am not sure what actually happened to it or If it was never shipped and I got a fake tracking number? Hayneedle only response was to refund my money through their extremely slow email costumer service, which of course was nice of them but it would have been even better if they used a shipping company that actually delivered the item! UPS delivered a similar sized item very quickly from another online company, no problem! Needless to say I will no longer order from Hayneedle because of their shipping company!

I ordered my item 21st july. They say they cant ship it till the 8th of august. But some peoples reviews said they got theirs in 2 days. I really hope i get my item when they say ill get it. They say some how an item shipped on the 8th will be here on the 13th. Really hope it will be. Also i need this item to help start my business if i knew it was going to take 4 week for an item to get to me i would have never ordered from them. Update they canceled my order! Thanks will never do business there again.

After posting my reviews, Richard from Hayneedle's Escalation team contacted me, had the trucking company contact me and set up delivery, and also contacted Affirm to advise them the merchandise was being returned and to start the refund process. I appreciate the concern finally, just wish this could have been done to begin with. Nothing so dufficult just right. Thank you Richard

I placed my order with Hayneedle on July 30 for a patio sectional set from Walker Edison on their website the dimensions stated the furniture was 32 inches high when I received the merchandise on August 9 the merchandise was 26 inches high I called Hayneedle about this discrepancy and they said that they would need to check with the manufacturer could I please hold I said sure he came back on and he said the manufacturer said they do not ship out anything that small so I asked him you're telling me I'm lying then no I'm just telling you that the manufacturer said that that cannot be the correct measurements I told him again I can send you a picture where I have it measured and it's at 26 inches I also noted that on the lighting from the manufacture it says the height is 27 inches so the manufacturer who is calling me a liar even on their paperwork has the dimensions as 27 inches high which still is wrong so The representative from hay needle then told me I could have the item returned and they would ship out another one and I said well is it going to be a short one or is it going to be the right height I don't know I don't to ship it back out to you and I said no I don't want another short one and then he told me because we used their financing for 12 months no interest that I would have to get wait for them to come pick up the merchandise then it would be another two weeks before they will issue me a refund for the merchandise and that then after all that I could go ahead and I could go ahead and re-order in a month from them I said I need to speak with the supervisor he transferred me to a supervisor she told me all they can do is send a trucking company to contact me about when they can get the merchandise schedule the delivery and then it'll be two weeks after the merchandise is received before I will get a refund on the credit in the meantime when the payment comes do I have to make a payment on merchandise I do not even have because of their paperwork situation they cannot just issue things they have to go through all the different departments so in other words they send me the wrong merchandise I had to wait a day wasted day for us the wrong merchandise to come now I have to wait for the trucking company to call me to schedule another day where they can come pick it up so now I'm wasting another day and in the meantime I'm going to have to make a payment on merchandise that I don't even have because it will take approximately six weeks to figure out how to give me back the refund. The supervisor was so polite as to offer me the opportunity to order from Hayneedle again which I told her that will never happen and that I will be leaving the reviews on the Internet rest assured so this doesn't happen to any other innocent people

While searching for furniture sets on the Internet, I came across Hayneedle website. Their inventory comprised of furniture variants including tables, chairs, beds, room dividers and wind spinners to name a few. I urge you to check out this website, for among different brands, you can come across the likes of Red Ember, Boomer and George, Island Bay and Coral Coast. Another characteristic that caught my attention was the sale that enabled shoppers to save up to 65%. Among the collection, you can find indoor furniture as well as outdoor furniture and an assortment of patio items. Log on to the site for details.

Some of their products are trash but if you stick to the reviews you can usually avoid bad items and actually land some really good deals. One of the bright spots of Hayneedle is their eye-catching website, which begs you to turn the page and keep shopping. Hayneedle is pure fun, good on you!

However, this immersion begins to fade a little when you make the 888 call to their customer support, which feels more like a group of people who can only see what you see. Each interaction yields inconsistent results which begs the question of standardization within the company. Their actual ability to modify orders is surprisingly limited. Level 1 and level 2 representatives are unable to change anything or combine orders placed within minutes of each other. "Made a mistake? Cancel the whole thing and try again" is the approach here.

We have not tried to return an item before, fortunately we haven't needed to.

Tip for consumers:
Read the product reviews. For the most part, they are spot on.

I placed an order for a swingset glider and orbit swing without reading any of the reviews. The order confirmation stated an estimated delivery date of 7/19. By 7/17, I still had not received a shipping confirmation and began to worry after reading reviews of the company. I contacted customer support via email to ensure that the order was not being held up. I received a response the next day indicating that my order would be shipping that day and would be received the following day. I was a little skeptical but the order arrived on time with all pieces and no issues.
I'm giving them an average rating because of the lack of communications up to the day before the item was to be received (the order was placed the week prior).
To be honest I'm not sure that I would buy from them again largely based on the bad experiences of others. I'm not sure if my experience was just luck.

Bought some bar stools and was overcharged for shipment. After discussion with shipping company they informed me that Hayneedle had entered the wrong information. Contacted customer service provided documents showing overcharged amount after several weeks they refunded me the amount.

Not bad actually. I ordered a room divider from them. It arrived on time. A day later my roommate had temper tantrum and punched a hole in it. I called Hayneedle and told them that it fell down and broke (lie). They fell for it and sent me a new one free of charge. :)

I order a bicast leather chair and ottoman that were described as brown and medium softness. The item was actually black and no where near medium softness since it was as hard as a board and was also very plastic looking. I contacted Hayneedle and they got back to me quickly and told me to donate the item that I didn't need to return it and they would return my money. They did refund my money and am going to donate chair. I think the chair is really cheap if they didn't want it back but I got my money back so I'm satisfied.

Ordering was easy. Now I am working on a return for damaged furniture.
