I needed a delivery at a future date, when my lease was starting. Wayfair confirmed by phone it is possible, and their website states 30 days storage hold. When Fedex suddenly delivered items, Wayfair customer service started saying they cannot do anything and I should now solve with Fedex myself about taking it back and storing until needed date. It turned out Fedex will only hold items for 10 days and then ship back, charging the customer. Wayfair just dropped me and said they are not responsible for the third party delivery. Never buy there!

Was told if I would get their credit card I could have an interest free purchase. Never received my card and when I investigated the situation, I started a 4 hour runaround between Wayfair, Citi and Equifax. Somehow they said that my address and SS# were not correct and could not verify me. That seemed confusing since I received the safe at the my residence that I lived at for 12 years. When I asked Wayfair customer service how I could pay them in full, they said I needed to speak to Citi. I called Citi again and after another 45 minutes they ALLOWED me to pay my account in full and cancel the card that I would never have accepted if this was not an interest free card for the purchase. Avoid the Wayfair runaround HELL and by from a reputable company.

Horrible service
May 5, 2023

I ordered from wayfair a lot last year, I loved it for a good search engine and hight service. But everything was changed this yer. I got a damaged item which is impossible to use. Wayfair said it is not their problem anymore and I must contact the seller from 10 to 5 4 day at week by phone and ask what them for help. Another item was ordered, they charged more than $600 and said that it probably will be delivered in 2 months and I can't cancel my order because they started work on it immediately after my order submission. So, it was my last order and Im not going to work with them again

Be very careful before you purchase anything from Wayfair.
God help you if something goes wrong beyond their customary 30 day return refund policy.
All their suppliers have ridiculous warranties that basically don't cover anything and then Wayfair simply washes their hands and says sorry cant help you. In my case Bedroom set delivered end of Jan 2023. April 2023 the mattress supports came off the sides of the bed, manufacturer first said they'd send replacement parts rather than replace the entire bed. Then manufacturer decided not to cover it anymore because, " YOU WERE SLEEPING ON THE BED WHEN IT FELL APART" are you kidding me, and I'm only 195 pounds. Wayfair response, sorry we cant do anything thanks for shopping with us.

Purchased a very expensive 2 piece chair set ($355.00) for elderly couple at a religious community who was on a fixed income. They wanted this particular set of chairs so I purchased the chairs for them for Christmas. The chairs are falling apart just over a year later and Wayfair - after months of waiting on their customer service - finally called and said they won't replace the chairs - they say they are not defective but the chairs have had "Excessive Use". The surfaces show very light wear only and look completely new - but the hardware is garbage and falling apart! What a joke! This was a complete rip-off! Purchase from them at your own risk - Be Advised. You absolutely don't want to purchase from Wayfair! They stole my money and refused to warranty the garbage products they provided. Keep in mind that these chairs had five star reviews. This has to be a complete scam!

Full of lies!
May 4, 2023

I ordered an armoire on 4/19, and when I reached out on 4/26, I was told that the item is scheduled for delivery on 5/4. On 5/4 morning reached out again, as I didnt receive any call or email on delivery. First when I spoke to an agent I was told the item will be delivered next week. I requested to speak to a manager as to why I was being told incorrect information last week. When I spoke to the manager I was informed that the item is in back order and cannot be delivered before July. Full of lies!

Wayfair has horrible customer service. We recently bought a patio set. 6 days from delivery it went on sale, almost $250 less. They would not adjust our price. Only provided a $90.00 courtesy credit towards future purchases. They are not customer friendly and run under an unethical business model. They said we could return the patio set but it was already assembled and I'd have to pay a ton to ship it back. I will never purchase another item from them.

A bed was sent with 2 legs missing. The legs were not available to be sent. We asked for a refund and we're told to package and ship the bed back at our expense. Since we couldn't lift the bed for packaging or get the bed to a shipper ( we are old) we were refused a refund.

I bought a towel rack that was so flimsy upon arrival that it would not hold towels. The return shipping charge was $20 for something that weighed 3 pounds. It was that or keep the non-usable item for a 20% refund. Back to Amazon.

Having already spent 3 plus hours of my life dealing with the most incompetent Company one could imagine, let me just say that this was my first (and last) time ordering from Wayfair. To call it a "nightmare" is a gross understatement. They sent me the wrong size mattress and I've now spent over 3 hours of work and my lifetime trying to get it picked up. I've spoken with supervisors and with managers. Suffice it to say that nobody has any clue of what is going on and there is no coordination at all. It's like being gaslit every time you speak with a different person. You get transferred endlessly and then start all over again. I only ordered from Wayfair by default. Had I read their reviews, I never would have done so.
Horrible, horrible systems are in place, and can't believe they are still in business. I just tried to add an image but it's not large enough.

I ordered a shelving unit for my pantry last august. What they sent me was a small table for a tight corner by a sofa. I finally got the correct item but they refused to take the small unit back and told me to donate it to a charity. Then they started billing me for it. 9 months later, three letters to Citibank and numerous phone calls which have lasted for hours they have billed me late fees etc. finally to get them to stop harassing me I paid $188.00 for a shelf I never ordered that they refuse to take back. The initial cost of the unit was only about $60.00. They've ruined my flawless credit record and refuse to reinstate it. I still have the item that I would gladly return but they won't take it

Be careful using wayfair with a third party checkout that they've partnered up with because their website tends to glitch, you will get charged and neither party will refund you. I'm currently dealing with this mess over an $800 order, they have stolen my money claimed there is no existing order and have told me to contact the vendor (afterpay) that took the money, that vendor told me to contact wayfair, now im currently out 800 and both parties have been giving me the run around and neither is trying to issue me a refund

Last year I gave a poor review of Wayfair and despite that, I took a chance and bought three items online. Out of the three, only one of them I was able to use. One item that didn't work properly, I was given the option of sending it back for a full refund or for a lesser refund if I didn't return it. I took the latter option. The most expensive item (over $200) was missing 7 different types of hardware, so I was unable to put the furniture together. At first, I was told I would have to contact the manufacuturer and that they would send me their email address which Wayfair DID NOT do! Then they sent an email survey asking me to review these products, and I gave them a terrible review. Long story short, after more than a month, they finally sent me a replacement, but it wasn't worth all the hassle, so next time I'm going to pay attention to my own reviews!

I have an Airbnb business that I started 2-1/2 months ago and I saw that Wayfair had business prices on things I needed for my business and also for my own household. I discovered that not only most items were poor quality, but the photos were misleading. For instance, I ordered red towels and bath mats and the photo on the website showed both colors matched. However, as you can see from the photo I took, they certainly DON'T match. This isn't the only time this has happened. After my last unsatisfactory order arrived, I decided to stop shopping with them. I went to their website, turned off all my notifications and still got emails. I sent two messages to "unsubscribe" and I still got emails. I CALLED, told them to STOP sending me emails and I'm STILL getting emails! They are a nuisance, have poor quality items and I advise you NOT to shop online with Wayfair.

I have been ordering furniture and household items from Wayfair for years without any problems until I ordered a large cat tree and it arrived broken in one spot. The delivery person pointed it out to me and said he would make a quick call. He returned and said Wayfair will ship a new one to me. The new one arrived with the same issue. The furniture itself was very solid and well made but I noticed both pieces were wrapped so tight (looks like wrapping from the factory) that the cat post broke in the same place on both pieces. After contacting Wayfair I decided to keep the cat tree but they gave me a good discount on the original piece without me even asking. I rarely write reviews but I'm actually really pleased with my purchase because everyone I dealt with from the delivery people to the customer service seemed to really care about making me happy and getting things right. I was surprised to see all the negative reviews on here but maybe Wayfair listened to the reviewers in the past because at the moment I find their service top notch and will continue to order from them.

If a company is not going to honor its word from the moment you land on their page, then there's no reason to trust them any further. Regarding their sale on April 26, it is stated on their landing page, "The year's biggest sale - everything shops free." At checkout they charged $52 for shipping a lamp. A Help window popped up stating "We are standing by, ready to answer your questions, place orders, and more. *******661.
Wait time: ~ 1 min
I waited 8 minutes - no telling how long they'd have kept me hanging, but I had more important things to do.
So, obviously, no sale. Their customer service ratings could hardly go any lower, and now I must agree. Wayfair is misleading at best, and I'm not about to stick around to see how bad it can get.

Worst site EVER
April 26, 2023

I have ordered only 2 times from them and both times I did not get what I ordered. This last time they cancelled my order and were just going to keep my money until I called for a refund. What a joke, I should have read the reviews before I ordered. I would not have dont it seeing the bad reviews. Horrible site who just want to take your money and never send the product.
