I ordered a couch on September 3rd, online. The potential delivery week was the week of Thanksgiving, which was great because I had family coming into town. The week of Thanksgiving came and went and I checked the tracking on the website and the date had been pushed to The second week of December. I called their customer service line and was told it was due to the popularity of the item but that they would waive the delivery fee for the inconvenience. As the second week of December was approaching I never got a call to schedule delivery and once again I checked the tracking and it indicated the last week of December. Again no call, but I did get an email that if I did need a couch in the interim to call them and they would see what they could do. Having this option over Thanksgiving would have been beneficial but it was never extended. I did call in and sat on hold for about 15 minutes and decided it wasn't something I wanted to spend anymore time on. I then called and told them I wanted to cancel the order and good thing it was such a popular couch, they shouldn't have any issue selling it. I was told that since it wasn't on American soil, I couldn't cancel it, that I would have to check back and call them back when I saw that the couch was in the U.S. because at that point my card would be charged and I could cancel. The last week of December came and I checked the tracking online and the date had changed to The last week of February. I called once again and told them I did not want the couch that I had intended to go elsewhere. I should say, in the meantime I did buy other items from WILLIAMS Sonoma and all were delivered on time. I am a good customer. I have their soaps, candles, I bought my pots/pans, coffee maker, cutting board, and a ton of other kitchen gadgets from them for my new home.
It is now March 6 and I have yet to get a phone call on this couch that they charged my credit card for back on Feb 11. I just looked and I saw that they did a return for a portion of the charge on February 20.
I'm so frustrated. It's clear that service isn't their strong suit.
