Used multiple times, never had an issue luckily

I've bought a few things from them. The items and the service were both absolutely fine.

Same!

How about sharing yours so we know where you're coming from?

I've ordered several things from them and never had an issue. Well, I had problems with a garden set that arrived damaged but they sorted it quickly and told me to keep the damaged (but usable) set as well as the replacement.

I bought some bedroom furniture for Wayfair. It turned out to be cursed. First night I slept in my new bed. I hear a noise outside, went to check the garden, came back inside to find I had put my foot in a dead hedgehog and was wearing it like a slipper. Vic.

I bought a picture at Christmas, it arrived quickly and I love it. The first time I’ve used them, and will again, but by god you get a lot of follow up emails!

Roselilly36 · 10/01/2023 08:06

Only bought a few things from Wayfair, everything arrived on time, was happy with the quality. Would order from them again.

TeeBee · 10/01/2023 08:10

Never had any issues and the customer service has been fine.

picklemewalnuts · 10/01/2023 08:16

I've never looked because I begrudge having to sign up first!

IneedanewTV · 10/01/2023 08:20

Always found them very good. Sometimes have stock issues but money is refunded quickly.

Smartstuffed · 10/01/2023 08:24

Never had any problems with Wayfair - never bought anything!

Ordered a sofa from Wayfair. When it arrived it was clearly broken before packaging, packaging intact but beams of sofa snapped.

We called them and they sent out a free replacent next day delivery 🤷‍♀️.

Customer service was excellent.

The second sofa was still uncomfortable but that's a lesson in trying before buying.

This really made me laugh after a stressful morning so far.

I've ordered a bed for DD recently, very cheap and so far it is doing the job.... maybe too well as I'm having hell getting her out of it in the morning.....

I ordered a ottoman from them it arrived 2 days late this was the couriers issue but it arrived damaged and bits missing. Wayfair sent a replacement arrived the next day. I had to chase the collection of the damaged one but they eventually picked it up. ( courier issue again! ) Customer service was excellent. Product was great!

illiterato · 10/01/2023 08:40

Well the desk I bought took way longer to put together than it said but there might be an element of user incompetence there as well :-). Usually they’re fine.

unlike the bed I bought from Next which I ended up gluing together because the pre drilled holes were way too big for the bolts. If we move I’ll have to smash it up with a sledgehammer.

merrymelodies · 10/01/2023 08:54

Where I live they're about 3x the price of what other places charge. Bought a desk for DD there about 5 years ago and when it was delivered, they just dumped the (unassembled) heavy thing outside the front door! We had to hire someone to lift it up to her room and assemble it for her. ££££

Hoppinggreen · 10/01/2023 08:55

Sorry but I find them really good. We have ordered a few things over the years and once when we ordered a desk and it was slightly different than the photo when it arrived they collected it and sent a new one next day. When that still wasn’t right they refunded me 20% with no argument

Itschristmastimeinthecity · 10/01/2023 09:12

I will never in my life shop at wayfair!

first of all, I think their prices are extortionate and their quality is rubbish! I get better bang for my buck from the likes of Dunelm.

Secondly, they lose your parcels (well Evri does - But Wayfair is still liable!) and they don't even bother to keep you updated.

I ordered a clothes airer and it took months to get response from them about the whereabouts. Their customer service reps don't seem to know what they're doing. It's a mess. I finally received a refund after they realized it was lost. And guess what what comes rocking at my door a few weeks later? The bloody airer!

I want nothing to do with wayfair.

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 10/01/2023 09:13

Bought my kitchen chairs and stools from Wayfair, came on time, easy to put together. Have been perfectly fine ever since.

MadameSzyszkoBohusz · 10/01/2023 10:02

We ordered a few things after Christmas, including this lamp which I'm really pleased with - came in pieces in a small box but was really easy to put together.

We also got a couple of barstools, which even my non-handy DH managed to assemble without help, and a new wool rug. All delivered promptly and efficiently.

Wayfair - it couldn't get worse

Love the chair and the light!

I’ve bought a few things. All were excellent.

the website is vastly superior to most because it lets you filter by dimensions on furniture. Why more sites don’t have that setting I don’t know. It’s why they keep getting my business.

SmartWatch · 10/01/2023 19:15

Everything I've ordered from there has been fine and as described.

Not used Wayfair myself, but I fell out of a canoe once and nearly drowned. I wouldn't want to experience that again.

Also stood on some Lego.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 10/01/2023 19:21

Both things I've ordered from there - a desk and a bookcase - were delivered quickly, were easy to put together and are good quality. I'm planning to order from them again soon
