    We called ********** and spoke to ****. We advised that we reviewed her cases and saw that we didn't provide her the model she had originally requested and offered her the option to do a return for refund and new order if she'd like. We are making a one time exception since it had been installed which is against our policy. Discussed it'd be a refund for the full amount and then a repurchase for the correct item (also advised it'd be a good idea to remove the c/b so she's refunded timely).While the induction that she wants is a bit more expensive and she wanted it for the same price, which we are unable to do, we did offer her a cart with 200 dollars off the price. We settled on initiating the return and sending a cart w/ the discounted price should she wish to order it when ready.

    I am rejecting this response because Ferguson has an obligation to cancel the order. At the time of purchase, the item was falsely advertised on Fergusons website as being in stock and available to ship, with language suggesting it was leaving Fergusons warehouse (not a vendors). Ferguson has an obligation to ensure its advertising is not false, misleading or deceptive. To the extent it is, and it was in this case, they are obligated to cancel the order and refund the money it has held now for almost two months. Further, Ferguson cannot stand behind an open-ended inquiry to a vendor who has now delayed shipment  three times, and almost two months. Ferguson needs to cancel the order. A complaint will also be filed with the state for false and deceptive advertising. 

    Business Response

    Date: 02/28/2025

    Thank you for your response. We are working on getting this cancelled. As we stated in prior communications, we do reach out to our vendors to confirm they haven't already shipped any backordered item as occasionally their lead times are incorrect. Once confirmed, which typically only takes 1-2 business days, we refund the item in full on our end. The associate you worked with previously has already entered your refund as well, so that should be posting back to your card used at time of purchase. 

    We appreciate your patience while we resolve this matter.

    Thank you for reaching out to Ferguson Home. We apologize for any inconvenience this back order may have caused. We work hard to provide accurate shipping information with our vendors, but sometimes back orders can occur. We do our best to communicate all updates in shipping timelines as soon as the vendor makes us aware. We do show that you spoke with a Build.com customer service associate this morning, and they put in a cancel request with *******************. Once that vendor confirms they haven't shipped your lighting early, they will confirm the cancellation, and you will be refunded for that product in full.

    I am rejecting this response because:

    The replacement vanity was offered, however, the removal of the existing, and the reinstallation of the replacement vanity would be more than what I paid for the original vanity, hence, why I was willing to accept a refund versus an exchange and having you pay the labor costs.
    Since this is a manufacturing flaw (a flawed vanity your company purchased from ***** ****** and sold to me), it is not appropriate or ethical business practice to have the consumer pay for a flawed product exchange. ***** ****** confirmed if I wanted a replacement drawer already assembled (which is all I asked for in the beginning), or a complete replacement vanity, I had to go through my place of purchase, you.

    As for the two-way phone call you mentioned, I had requested a three-way call between either ******* or **** in your customer support departments and a ***** ****** representative, and myself. ******* and **** both said they have no contact information for ***** ******, and I would have to call ***** ****** to locate a phone number. I find this odd at best, considering ******* was forwarded the email string from ***** ****** and your company has direct business dealings with ***** ******. Surely, someone in your company must have a contact phone number for ***** ******.

    Lastly, I am still prepared to settle this in court, but I was trying one last attempt to amicably settle this matter, at a lower cost to you.

    It is unfortunate this matter was not resolved at the lowest level, an assembled drawer, saving all of us time, money, and an excellent customer service experience.

    Thank you.

     

     


    ********* *******. After explaining my situation to ******* & having photos of the damaged replacement panels from ***** ******, along with another drawer getting stuck, not closing, I requested to have my vanity replaced. It appears this vanity has manufacturing flaws, a lemon, if you will, so ******* agreed they would send me a replacement vanity, but would not cover any of the labor costs.I already paid labor costs with my initial installation, and since this was a lemon vanity, I should not be responsible for any additional costs. ******* said that was their policy & would not budge, directing me back to ***** ******, as she did not know what their policy was.I was now caught in a web between manufacturer and seller, with no one willing to accept responsibility for the poorly made vanity sold to me by ************************* concern was escalated to another Customer Support Lead, **** ***** in **. She supported ******* & would not allow for labor costs to be covered under these circumstances.

    Thank you for reaching out to Build with Ferguson via the Better Business Bureau. At Ferguson, we strive to provide accurate website information at all times, and are regret that this was not the case with this order. While the Ferguson Sites strive to provide accurate product and pricing information, pricing or typographical errors may occur. The Ferguson Sites cannot confirm the price of any item until after you order.  In the event an item is listed at an incorrect price or with incorrect information due to an error in pricing or product information, the Ferguson Sites shall have the right, at our sole discretion, to either contact you for instructions or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. Prices and availability are subject to change without notice. As the order was not caught during fulfillment, as is should be, we can make an exception in the return for flooring and/or a refund of this order, which is typically non-returnable in most cases. We can also offer you a discount if you wish to proceed with purchasing additional sheets of flooring. We verified with the manufacturer and the information we have on site is accurate at this time and we are unable to verify when the glitch you saw occurred. 

    Again, we apologize for any frustration this may have caused. 

     

    Sincerely,

    I am rejecting this response because: Build.com business relationship with their suppliers should not adversely impact customers. When ********************** states that the product is in stock and in fact it is not - the customer should not end up with their money taken for an extended amount of time. As far as I am concerned build.com took my money and not returning it due to their internal business issues. This is unacceptable.

    Thank you for your response. We understand your frustration and apologize for the inconvenience. We do charge prior to shipping, as we are a retailer who ship from various vendors around the **.

    My sincerest apologies for the inaccurate credit amount. It appears our system had an issue with a partial prior credit and I'm working with our finance department to ensure all you paid is credited and that will be resolved ASAP.

    Business Response

    Date: 12/30/2024

    We apologize for the delay with the cancellation. We are an ********* retailer and work with many vendors and manufacturers. We have submitted a cancellation request for your order to the vendor. Once the manufacturer confirms that it can be cancelled on their side, we will be able fully cancel the order and issue the credit. This process is to ensure the vendor hasn't miscommunicated the original ship date, and the item has not already in fact shipped. If for some reason we are unable to cancel the order and it has already shipped, we will notify you immediately. If the item has been shipped, once delivered, you can contact us, and we would be happy to set up a return for you. Again, we apologize for the delay. Due to the holidays, there can be a slight delay with processes as many other vendors are closed. We will reply as soon as we have updated cancellation information and you will be refunded.

    I received another email this morning. They arrive around 8:01 or 8:02. There must be an IT issue that is being missed on your end. At this point I think it's best to delete all account information under my name/email. Maybe there's someone on your end who can escalate as I am sure others must be having this same issue.

    Thank you for your message.

    The customer called in to our call center to state that she didn't like the quality of the pendant lighting. Our associate offered to set up a return, however, we do not cover the cost of the electrician. Customer declined a return being set up. We also offered the manufacturer's phone number, as support, which she declined. We can offer her a return and refund, but she will need to send the items back to us. We are happy to waive return shipping as she mentioned in her prior statement.

    I originally placed Order #******** where the product price was matched to market value at $29.99. I wire transferred Build almost $15,000 to pay for it but they cancelled my order days later anyways. I cancelled the wire transfer to recover my money and tried again with a smaller order.Order ******** was created by Build and the product price was higher ($32.58 each).All Im asking for is a $699.30 ($2.59270) partial refund to match the previous pricing I had (quoteNumber 3X34M7FRW8).Im also willing to accept another 24 qty for no additional charge to make up for the difference.

    The original order was unable to be completed and was subsequently cancelled and refunded a month ago. This new order was paid in full and the price at time of purchase had gone up $2.50 per unit. We are unable to discount the order as it has already processed. We can cancel and refund in full if the customer prefers.
