EDIT: Very quick response from the customer care team. I was able to reschedule for next week the morning after the incident. I really appreciated the help and quick response, and added a star for that. I'm hopeful the installation goes well next week and revisit my rating then.
EDIT 2: Installation went well. The two guys were able to move the furniture up the stairs. The customer care team was following the case closely, which I really appreciated.
I generally don't leave reviews, but had to make an exception. Today, a Samsung fridge was supposed to be delivered. The delivery truck with three individuals arrived, and as soon as they arrived, they started to complain about the flight of stairs. They immediately said that this job would require tips, which they would have gotten had they not been this brazen or rude.
My mother said she thought she paid the installation fee, and the person got very annoyed and went downstairs. My dad followed him down, and the installation person started to talk badly about my mother for simply bringing up the fact that she paid an installation fee. My dad told them about another entrance that would reduce the set of stairs and even offered to help bring the fridge upstairs but nothing. He even asked them to just leave the fridge downstairs and we will take care of it. My dad, thinking they would at least agree to leave the fridge, went upstairs to get everyone for the fridge. By the time we were downstairs, they had left without a word. We never even got to see the fridge.
Honestly, I generally don't think racial motivations, but my parents aren't that fluent in English. I'm left wondering if my parent's difficulty in English made them brazen enough to demand tips before even attempting an installation and leaving like that without even a delivery of the actual product. They may be asian with limited English, but they do tip well. We tipped the mover guys well, individually mind you, just this morning. I'm so upset that I wasn't with them during this whole ordeal to mediate, but that shouldn't have been a necessity.
I contacted through the live chat and my case was "elevated" to resolution team or something along those lines. I was supposed to get a call back sometime today, but it's 8:30 pm. No calls. I have to contact them again for a solution.
Terrible experience.
