      I purchased a pergola for my yard in May. I received a delivery of one box. Prior to delivery I received a tracking number from ***** so I knew it was coming. I thought nothing more of this until we finally had the opportunity to remove the old gazebo, rebuild the deck and were ready for the new installation. We quickly realized there should have been two boxes. I checked in my office to be sure there was no other box accepted in my absence, nothing. I checked with neighbors to ensure they hadn't received it in error, nothing. I checked my email for another delivery notice, nothing. I called ******* who said that the sender would be contacted for resolution. They stated that the two boxes were delivered, one on May 25 and one on May 29, this did not happen, I only received one and I only received one tracking number. They have now said there is nothing I can do except contact police which makes no sense as it is not going to solve the problem. I requested how much it would cost for me to replace the missing box 1/2 that I did not receive, nothing. I asked for a return label and a refund to be processed but have been ignored. After further investigation I looked on their site and this pergola is no longer available, which may be why they are taking the position of my contacting police. I have bought from them before but assure you I will never purchase anything from them again.

      The parcel never arrived. They said a family must have taken it. Ridiculous! The photo the driver took was supposed to be of our “mailroom” it was just of exterior siding.

      Hello,

      We are truly sorry to hear about what happened with the package delivery as per your complaint.

      I've contacted ***** to provide us more details with this incident. According to them, the item was delivered to the address on file and left it at the mailroom area on June 24th. 

      On the same day, ******* or **** (husband) called them up and opened an investigation for this package.  Then on July 4th, while it is still under investigation, **** spoke with ***** Case Manager and told them that they got the package already.  No other action is needed after that.

      Thanks,

      Aosom carelessly packaged a box with a greenhouse in it for shipment to my address with staples exposed, facing outward. The box damaged my property (I.e., front porch) causing hundreds of dollars in damage. Aosom is unwilling to accept responsibility and ignores my request to speak with a manager despite countless requests. Their decision to deny my claim is flawed and their rationale is non-sensible. They did not even ask for evidence before denying my claim, which would show them they are liable. They are leaving me to chase after the courier who they hired and put this on me, which is completely unacceptable. I did not hire the courier, they did. Had it not been for Aosom’s careless packaging this situation could have been avoided. Now I am left with damaged property that I have to fix out of pocket. How is this company still in business?

      Hello,

      My sincerest apologies for the delay in responding to the complaint. I fully understand that your time is valuable, and our delayed response has been an inconvenience. We experienced an unexpectedly high volume of customer inquiries and other issues during the past weeks, which caused a backlog in our response time.

      We have explained it from the previous emails and suggested to escalate this issue to the appropriate department with ***** since it occurred during the delivery. If there was negligence and damaged to the property at the time of delivery, it should be addressed to *****. They should have handled it with care when dropping of the package at the location.

      Again, we apologize for this issue and thank you for understanding.
       
      Thanks,

      Aosom Canada.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:


      the careless packaging of the parcel by Aosom (I.e., staples protruding from the box) is the reason this situation resulted. I did not contract the services of *****, that was done by Aosom, so Aosom should be handling this case on my behalf. I have been chasing ***** for going on 2 months now - I should not have to deal with this and Aosom should liaise with ***** to seek a resolution on my behalf. Aosom has washed their hands clean of this which shows their lack of professionalism and failure to be accountable to their customers.

      Hello,

      Thank you for email and for following up.

      In regards with this incident, I just gathered information from ***** and according to them, the customer filed a claim back on June 8, 2023.  Claim was rejected and closed on June 15th.  You can only file a claim if package was damaged upon delivery as per ***** advised.

      On May 17, 2023, another claim was opened by our Aosom representative. According to ***** agent, there is a representative working on this case under Case# *********. I requested to give us an update as soon as possible since that it's been a while now. They will provide us the update within this week or early next week. 

      Regardless of the result, we will notify you as soon as we can.

      Thanks,

      Hello,

      We wanted to provide you with an update regarding the ongoing investigation with ***** regarding the issue we reported.
      We understand that this situation has been inconvenient for you, and we sincerely appreciate your patience throughout this matter.

      As of our most recent communication  with *****, we are still awaiting their response and resolution to the matter. Please be assured that we are actively following up with ***** to expedite the investigation and reach a satisfactory conclusion as quicky as possible. ***** should also be accountable on how the packages are being handled and delivered to the customer. We are doing everything to move this investigation forward.

      We will be in touch with any updates as soon as we receive them from *****.

      Thank you for your patience and understanding.

      On May 5th my husband ordered me a portable green house and a wood planter from Aosom. The total cost was 345 dollars and change. With both of them being roughly the same price of about 150 to 170. They were both supposed to arrive within a week for my mothers day present. I received notification that ***** would be delivering them. My wood planter showed up but my greenhouse planter did not. I thought that was a little weird as they should've been delivered together as they came from the same place and delivered to the same place. I contacted the company through there message system as was told to just wait as some things were delayed and should arrive shortly. I waited almost a week and contacted them again. This time they said it got lost and they would ship out quickly. I waited and within a few days they say they have shipped out a replacement and should arrive within 4 days. I wait and the end of the week I go on tracking to find out it has been delivered but I notice no picture for proof just delivery so I call ***** and they tell me it got delivered to the same address as the company! I don't know what I am supposed to think about this but a package that's almost $200 this is completely unacceptable!

      Purchased a gazebo on May 21st. Supposed to be delivered May 25th
      420.00 spent
      Order not received. Asaom keeps blaming the issue on their courier *****. ***** states they don't have my product. My product is still in limbo. All asaom canada did was create a label for my shipment but haven't actually contacted their courier to pick shipment up. I keep getting the same answer everytime I finally get a response back via email. Asaom won't pick up their phone they will not call me back . I requested a supervisor. I've requested a refund. Nothing they just keep saying ***** has my item but they do not. Asaom canada has not tried to resolve anything whatsoever. This is increasingly frustrating.

      We bought an outdoor Gazebo from Aosom Canada in January 2023 for $366.11 as it was a good sale. For our new home that we were moving into in spring 2023.

      We opened the box and verified that all was enclosed as per the installation manual. All was there; however, we did not open the plastic bags that contained the screen and the canopy fabric roof.

      When installing the gazebo this pass weekend (May 21st) we noticed that only the large canopy was included, and there was no small canopy top.

      We emailed Aosom theough their website since it was a weekend, they responded that we were passed the 90days manufacturer warranty. We then tried to explain again that we loved the gazebo and we were not complaining of any defect, but that the shipment was incomplete as part of the roof was missing and what good is a gazebo without a full roof. They again said they couldn't help us and provided a telephone number to call.

      I tried all morning (May 23rd) to reach them. But Noone ever answered and the call was automatically disconnected, as there is no voicemail apparently. It is impossible to speak to someone.

      I replied to the last email, to inform them that I had no choice but to file a complaint with BBB.

      I would really like to receive the small portion for the roof, I love the Gazebo, or it is garbage.

      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The item they are talking about was an order for only the canopy which I bought through ******, that also didn't have the top (small) canopy portion. I purchase this because I needed it for a family gathering. 

      The one I sent through BBB was the full canopy with frame & screen, that did not receive the small canopy portion for. They said it was past warranty, but it is not a warranty issue,  they never sent me the full product. 

      Since this has now happened twice in two separate orders, one would think that someone is not doing their job well in boxing the material for their canopies.

      In any case, I sincerely hope that they provide me with the small top canopy for my order placed in January 2023.

      I ordered an ******** patio umbrella and an ******** umbrella base on Saturday May 20th in two separate orders. Charges have gone through on my credit card yet no email with order confirmation has been received for either order. I contacted customer care within the hour of ordering and have been told they cannot locate my order with my name, email or address and require an order number. Clearly I don’t have an order number if I never received a confirmation email. They seen unwilling to assist but have no problem taking my money. I have provided a ********** ** the charges to my card but that still isn’t enough. Extremely frustrated and will be disputing charges as fraud on my card if this is not resolved

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
