The worst experience that I have had and your service representing you are only making your business worse as they represent themselves. I hope that you will get them better training.

THIS COMPANY IS HORRIBLE!
November 17, 2023

This company is horrible! When I placed my order, I was told that I needed to make a DOWNPAYMENT on my order, when I clicked on the option, it took the whole damn amount out ($344.99). When I finally got in touch with someone, it was like I was crossing the line because I got upset and I told them that the company was promoting false advertising and that I wanted to cancel my order and get a full refund. In the FAQ's, it explains the down payment requirement and that is TO PAY A PORTION of the order total. The second person I spoke to about it just took notes and transferred me to another department. Why in the hell do they hire people to just take notes? I get the next department and they had to put me on hold for about 10 minutes, just to come back and tell me that the credit was approved and my debit card was charged. I finally got my order canceled, so I thought, and was told that the order number was my confirmation number. I called back 2 days after that to check the status and my damn refund was never issued! There should be a negative rating you can put on these types of companies. AND WHAT KIND OF COMPANY DOES NOT ALLOW YOU TO SEE YOUR WHOLE ACCOUNT NUMBER

I made a purchase and and told the Sales Rep That I would be making monthly payments, When I checked My Debit card THE FULL PAYMENT WAS TAKEN, TILL THIS DAY I AM FIGHTING TO GET MY MONEY BACK ON MY CARD FROM THE CREDIT DEPARTMENT. THE PENDING DEPOSIT DISAPPEARED NEVER TO REACH MY BANK ACCOUNT, LET ALONE THE REQUEST WAS NOT COMPLETED THE DAY I BROUGHT THIS TO MONTGOMERY WARD'S ATTENTION. I HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE YO YO EFFECT. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS VERY RUDE,( HANGING UP ON ME) INCLUDING THE ALLEDGED SUPERVISORS. BUYERS BE WARE

Horrible product
October 20, 2023

Purchased a outdoor antenna when we received it the coaxle that comes with it was broke and the end piece was not pulled thru. The antenna does not work nothing comes in more than 10 to 15 min at time.husband has moved it everywhere many times trying to get it to work. Very dissatisfied with it and will not recommend it to no body. I really feel they should refund our money or send us another one and we also have five towers all around us so we should have no problem getting reception.

Long time customer

I have been buying from Montgomery Wards for a few years now. Both my sister and mother have been long time customers for as long as I can remember. We have never had a problem with customer service or returns, shipping label always comes in my packages. I had purchased the wrong size curtains,easy return and credit refund,

Customer support
September 12, 2023

Yes, I give Macgomery ward a two star rating because no where does it say that you are not allowed to make multiple payments and then not count towards your next payment it does not say anywhere that you can only make one payment per month because if you don't, then you'll get a late fee I had a customer support team member argue with me pretty much denied everything that I asked refused to let me talk to a supervisor and then when I was getting the information to return my product and get my money back, he hast to transfer me to another department and he transfer me to a supervisor And that supervisor that I talk to you took my five dollar late fee off got me to keep my product and I finish paying off my bill except for the five dollars now if he would've done this they probably could've got a four or five star rating from me They got it too and that's because the supervisor was helpful but I will never order from this company ever again.

I bought a bed from this store it was NOT what they advertised it. I setup an auto pay because I was having surgery. So Montgomery Wards tried to get an UNAUTHORIZED payment a week before the authorize payment was togo through. So they tried to withdraw money in Aug and then sent me a statement that they would be withdrawing another payment the 5th of Sept. So they wanted $100 BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. DO NOT DO AUTOPAY THEY WILL TAKE OUT 2 PAYMENTS.
My next step is to get in touch with my Attorney and make sure this company stops ripping ppl off.

I received the Montgomery Wards catalog with the pre-approved offer of $400 that nobody gets and ordered something primarily with the hopes that it would boost my credit score. As expected, I received a letter asking me for 50% down on my order which considering that the items they sell are often beyond retail and are of the poorest quality they could possibly find, the half down there requesting which includes their obscene shipping charges handling charges etc easily pay for the items for which I received. One of the items, a copper fit massager they charged me $79 for broke within the first two weeks and I have since seen them sold elsewhere even in other catalogs for $34.99 or less. This version of Montgomery Wards has absolutely nothing to do with the catalog company and department stores of the past. That company was actually reputable and decent. These people have bought various brand names but they are owned by a company called Colony Brands Incorporated which have other scam rip off catalogs where you are also pre-approved for $400 yet they never give financing for $400 to anyone ever no matter who you are. And as for the boost to my credit score I was hoping for by never being late on a payment and paying more than the minimum do, that did not occur. Apparently they do not report anything except possibly if you are delinquent. I willingly paid far more than what I received with the hopes that it would boost my credit, but I did not even get that. I will not ever be ordering or recommending anyone else to order from any catalog from these people which includes Montgomery Ward, Seventh Avenue, Swiss Colony and others. They are all just the same scam repeated. Non-existent pre-approved credit overpriced crap, super high shipping charges, and no boost to your credit score. If you really want to boost your credit score I strongly suggest requesting a secured credit card from discover or capital one. I have three credit cards from both of them and they have done a lot to boost my credit score. The interest rates may be a bit high but at least they are not criminals like the people that Colony Brands Incorporated. And with Discover, you get your security deposit back if you make your payments on time and do not go over your limit. And as an added bonus, both Capital One and discover provide free credit scores that are constantly updated. I paid on time and more than the minimum amount often double the requested amount to the Wards Catalog people and it did absolutely nothing for my credit score. It also did nothing that allowed me to actually benefit from any approved credit amount as my two orders placed since then both resulted in my getting a letter requesting 50% down which includes the obscene shipping and handling fees. Never again!

I am very upset and unhappy with Montgomery wards online, they give you credit, when you make several orders they flag your account and cancel sale, then they tell you its for protection, then they tell you cant order for 15 days, or if you do you make a down payment, so when you make the down payment, its not a downpayment at all its the whole amount, when you cancel it, and try to refund your outside credit card, they don't, or your waiting over twenty days for a refund, then, when you call them, or someone from the credit dept calls you, you get disconnected, when you try and call back, you cant even request top talk to the person you were talking too, and every agent you talk to, says something different entirely/both depts confusing service, the answers they give are different every time

Christmas Tree
November 25, 2022

Received a Christmas Tree I purchased from Montgomery Wards for a pretty hefty price and it is the most pathetic unacceptable looking Tree I have ever seen. I will be contacting a lawyer and will nor pay for this product. Shame on them they are thieves and I am appalled they would steal from people. Shame on them. It looks nothing like they portrayed. Shame Shame Shame
