Not exactly sure where to begin, but here goes...
Friday the 14th of November we go to NFM and pick out our refrigerator, we arranged the specifics through a salesman and finalize everything with that same man, he was named Duane. We explicitly stated that the doors of our old refrigerator MUST be removed in order to take it out of the kitchen as it was too large, and likewise with the new refrigerator to get it in.
Monday the 17th, my spouse gets a text that states that, "The delivery crew is 13 minutes away." I drive home from work as fast as I can to be home on time to meet with them. 50 minutes goes by and no one has shown up yet. I call customer service and they state that the driver is 10 minutes away. They finally show up, and the man that I first engage with is not in a good mood; doesn't seem to want to be bothered. Ok..great, here we go. That man comes into the house and starts looking at the old refrigerator and wants to know where we want to move it, I show him the basement. They bring the new refrigerator inside the house, set it in the living room and state that they cannot remove the doors from the old refrigerator and that we have to do it. I call customer service to explain my discussion with Duane but while I'm on the phone with them, the delivery guys leave.
So...I now have to disassemble the refrigerator myself. I finally get it apart and moved to the front porch. Meanwhile, all of our food is in a cooler in the dining room. The new refrigerator sits in the living room.
I leave the house and drive back to work and call customer service. I state that I want different people to come back to the house and to move the refrigerator into place, and that they need to REMOVE THE DOORS to get it in without scratching it. They state that they will send someone tomorrow.
Tomorrow comes...I am at work and my spouse and her parents are at the house waiting for the new movers. They show up to move the refrigerator but do not remove the doors, scratching the freezer door so badly, and a few other spots. My spouse calls me and tells me that they thought they could get it through the doorway without scratching it, also they chipped a ton of paint off the door frame that I now have to fix.
I call customer service again. They state that if we want we can keep the refrigerator as is and they will comp us some money to use as in store credit, if we wish. No thanks. They are sending a new freezer door tomorrow, apparently.
All I got was a generic, "Sorry for the inconvenience." Inconvenience? You've cost us money, time, and huge amounts of frustration. All of our food is spoiled and it has to be thrown away, we bought a $120.00 cooler to store our food in for just a few hours, we are now approaching day 3. Our door frame is scratched to hell and our over $2000.00 refrigerator is scratched so bad they have to replace a door. It is also scratched elsewhere, and no one had offered any sort of discount other than that they are waiving a $25.00 relocation fee for the old fridge. I doubt I'll even hear from anyone in management. I have been in the property management industry for 17 years, and I promise you, NFM has not done right by us. We have been purchasing from here for 15 years now, and to be honest, it might be time for us to cut up our credit card. I am going to tell EVERYONE about this experience. Check out these pictures.
