I purchased a mattress online 6am in the morning , plus paid delivery charge , it took 12hrs for The Brick to confirm my debit payment in full . My bank did it in seconds and said “ oh yes look , here’s the withdrawal right here “ , the teller showed me the screen.
I showed him their e-mail about having to confirm the payment , this was at 12pm.
I had to take of my time further, and at my expense to confirm they had actually received payment in full , at the store , where , they assured me , not to worry , even though it was a mystery surrounding the delays , that they had the mattress i ordered and not to worry .
The language they use when you order online is that some sort of a confirmation has to be made by them , even though like in my case , they received the money right then and there at the very time i ordered it .
I was quite comfortable ordering from The Brick online at that time , not anymore , and is doubtful i would even go to the store to conduct a purchase . Thoroughly and utterly disappointing . I’m very upset , and have every right to be .
The mattress i ordered online is 13.5 inches thick, they sent a 12 inch thick as i had a measuring tape on me , as did the delivery driver , i would not accept the delivery . The store customer service , i was promised a called back in hours ,they didn’t .
Now it might seem that 1 1/2 inch difference should be of no consequence to anyone, not even me , but , it does . I spent time searching for what i knew i required .
Every step of The Bricks online experience as a first time customer has been awful . Luckily i kept my old mattress . This was a test , to see first , online , how they would do .
I spent my time confirming my payment with my bank and then with them in person and on the phone , i spent time , the morning of delivery moving furniture , only to have the wrong thing delivered .
Now , the issue is very simple , do you , The Brick , have what i ordered online ? Yes ? or no ? If you do deliver it without delay or , refund my money without delay , and in full .
A company that sand bags people, in order to delay doing the right thing , does not give me confidence in them. People aren’t stupid .
Sand bagging , as thee go to strategy , is bordering on being dishonest , there is little difference.
I thought if , it was a good experience online , i would go shop there again in person when i have the time.
Now , i have nearly $1,000.00 tied up including delivery & taxes, plus a trip in person , and time on the phone, and time at the bank , time reorganizing my home , time with the delivery driver , with a company where the right hand doesn’t seem to know what the left hand is doing .
What would you think if you were me ? They didn’t seem to know right from the get go.
I’ve since re checked the website , the very mattress i ordered, and did not ( to date ) receive , is still advertised . Same dimensions quality and specs and price .
From the get go , every step of my attempt to purchase one single item , in hopes of even more purchases in the future had this test run gone right , has been a real eye opener and given pause to what i previously believed about this company .
My observation , and thought’s were , before doing business with them was , this company is one of a reputable Canadian company with its act together. They advertise they give the distinct impression that they are on the ball.
Boy was i wrong !
Would you be happy if you were me ? As the saying goes , “ you never get a second chance to make a first impression “ .
