      Complaint Type:
      Delivery Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Around March 3, 2024, I ordered the ******** ****** **** Bed in Queen size from the Frontgate website. I paid $3504.60 in total, which included delivery to the home (not assembly). A third-party delivery company delivered the item to me on Wednesday, April 10th. The delivery team unpacked all of the items and removed the boxes. The items (headboard, footboard, and rails) were fine, except there were no assembly instructions or hardware to assemble. The delivery crew confirmed there was nothing in the boxes. The crew left, and I contacted Frontgate by phone. The customer service associate was pleasant but stated that the hardware was unnecessary and everything I needed was on the bed. I highly doubted that, as this was a very heavy bed, but I asked for assembly instructions. Per my request, those were emailed to me promptly. However, once I received those, I did, in fact, find that hardware is necessary for assembly (bolts, washers, and pins—there should have been at least 8 included for assembly). Thus, I immediately contacted Frontgate back via phone and was told that "someone should be calling me" about arranging a separate delivery for the necessary hardware. That was six days ago. I have been sleeping on my couch because I cannot assemble this expensive bed. (I had removed my old bed prior to this delivery on the inaccurate assumption that such an expensive item would be properly delivered.) Today, April 16th, almost a week after delivery, I emailed Frontgate to inquire about the status of the hardware. Tina in Customer Service responded that there was no hardware necessary to assemble the bed. I emailed back that hardware was indeed necessary (sending a copy of the assembly directions that I emailed showing bolts, washers, pins, and a wrench that should have been included.) I received no response to that email, although it's been several hours. At this point, I have no idea if the hardware is coming and if this bed can ever be assembled.

      As you can clearly see by the multitude of comments, this is a terrible company to do business with. They are very big into bait and switch scam tactics. I have purchased from them before and thanks to my own stupidity I went back again. This is now the 3rd time in a row they have pulled the bait and switch tactic on me and it will be the last. I was in the store and was interested in buying some outdoor furniture. The sign said all outdoor furniture was on sale for 50% of the tagged price. There were dozens and dozens of items on the floor in this category. There was one outdoor couch in the front of the store as well. The sign said no further discounts applied. As they were also running an additional 10% off sale if you brought in a piece of clothing I assumed you would only get one discount. I asked the person at the desk if the 10% also applied to the 50% discount and his answer was yes.I went home and measured to verify it would fir since they do not take returns. The following day I drove the hour back to buy the items with my trailer in tow. When I asked to purchase it I asked again if the 10% discount would go on top of the 50% discount. The employee said the item wasn't on the 50% sale. I asked how it couldn't be as it was clearly outdoor furniture. His answer was it was "new" and everything else was used. This is an OUTLET store, why would I need to ask about every item to verify it was new or used. I said there is nothing that states it doesn't apply. He showed me a little note that said further discounts didn't apply. This was why i had asked the guy the day before. Further more it was not even on sale. On the Frontgate website it had the same item on sale for $300 less! Talk about poor customer service! Not only do they lie (as they did the past 3 times) about items being on sale, they actually charge more then their own website! For a premium brand they have 1 star customer service. Never again will I go there.
