Wayfair did this longtime customer dirty. First of all, I ordered a sheet set labeled in the description “Egyptian cotton”. When it came in, it was “long stable cotton.” I didn’t open the set but immediately got on a chat with a guy who basically told me it was close enough since it was “Egyptian cotton quality.” The best he could do was offer me a 25% refund. I asked for a second opinion but was rudely asked why. I told him it was false advertising for one thing. In the end, I had to accept the 25% or nothing.
After washing the sheets, they came out all wrinkled and stiff, very uncomfortable. I called Wayfair back and the lady told me the same thing- “Egyptian cotton quality” with an attitude like “what’s your problem?” I got nowhere so I called my credit card company and filed a dispute. Wayfair challenged it and won, all because I accepted the 25% refund. It was a done deal or so it seemed.
I had to call Wayfair back to tell them what a rotten deal I had gotten stuck with and talked with a man named Jody. When he saw the person’s name on the chat, he said “Oh, Jermaine. That’s the problem. Those guys from Jamaica don’t know what they’re doing. He should have sent you a return label immediately instead of giving you a 25% refund.” (I personally have no problems whatsoever with Jamaicans.) He proceeded to apologize all over the place and said I was right, he would give me a refund. No problem… except I would have to call my credit card company to close the dispute, then wait 3 months for it all to be processed. He encouraged me to call back after that time period if I hadn’t gotten a refund. Of course, I never got the refund.
So I called back to find out my account was locked because they said they hadn’t heard from my credit card company stating that I had closed the dispute. I was instructed to call the credit card company about the matter. So I did. I was told by the company that they had sent Wayfair a letter the very next day after I told them to close the dispute. So I called Wayfair back yet again and even sent them a photo of my letter from the company stating the dispute had been closed per my request. Guess what? Account is still locked.
I talked with a lady today that was able to unlock my account but since the transaction was so far out by this time a refund is unlikely. Do you see what they did? It seems to me I was purposely told to close the dispute and wait 3 months because then it would be outside the window of opportunity of ever getting a refund. Slick.
They’ve since changed the description to “Egyptian like quality” on their website AND they’ve changed my invoice where the initial total I paid and the 25%’refund I was given no longer show up. All it has is the balance which I have so desperately tried to get them to refund me.
Underhanded? Yes. Dishonest? You bet. I will never ever order from Wayfair again and I highly recommend that you don’t either!
