I purchased a chair in Mid-July 2025 called the ***************** Glider from ****** Living. The chair cost $800.00. **************** informed that returns were limited to thirty days which I find is unreasonable. The left of the chair has pulled away from the frame. I love the chair.Customer Answer

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. Im truly sorry for the inconvenience this situation has caused.
After a thorough review of your case, weve confirmed that the report was submitted outside the standard return window, which means were unable to make an exception at this time.
Our records show that the merchandise was delivered on August 4, 2025, and the issue was reported on October 28, 2025.As noted in our return policy, all issues should be reported within 7 days of delivery.
In some cases, we extend this period to 30 days as a courtesy; however, this case falls beyond that timeframe.
For your convenience, Ive attached a copy of our return policy.
Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Were always happy to help.

I am rejecting this response because:it is unreasonable -- a company that charges over $800 for an item of furniture should have a window much larger than 30 days to ensure customer satisfaction. ********* stores I've checked in ********* do. It's obvious there was a flaw in the construction of my chair and it's getting worse. Also, since I love the chair, I have agreed to have it fixed by the company. Or replaced. Or money refunded. I believe that shows good faith by me. If this is a matter for small claims court or arbitration, I will agree to it.
PLEASE FIX MY CHAIR.

I purchased 4 smoked glass closet doors from Bison Commerce as a 3rd party vender thru ******. the doors were delivered late July there were 4 doors stacked on top of each other. however, I was unable to obtain help with installation within the 30-day guarantee time frame. and so did not discover that the bottom door's glass was shattered. when I contacted the company and advised them of the damage (that was obviously from the blade of a forklift) they asked for pictures and then a description of the door and then they would see if they had one in the warehouse and see about making an exception dragging it on until finally saying they were sorry but they would not help me. now I have taken the frame to a glass installation business, but they need to know the type of film that was used on the back. I have asked Bison Commerce for this information and now they are simply being evasive.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because I have received their "Boiler Plate" response already and have realized they are not in the "Good Business" business and have no concept of "customer satisfaction". My current issue is that I have had to take the door to a local glass business and in order to make a new door that matches the current doors they need the information on the film/tint that goes on the back of the glass and Bison Commerce will not even be kind enough to supply me with that information. My understanding is the local glass company I am using has asked them as well as a professional courtesy and have received no response.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your response.
I would like to kindly clarify that we did respond to the question raised about the film.
We were asked what type of film is being used on the back, and we explained that it is a decorative privacy film combining a frosted, opaque appearance with a smoky gray or tinted finish. This provides both privacy and an elegant aesthetic, while still allowing some light to pass through.
At this time, we have no records indicating that we were contacted by the local glass company.
If any additional information is needed, please dont hesitate to reach out well be more than happy to assist you every step of the way.

This business is operating illegally and has despicable "policies" clearly designed to defraud customers. They sent me a table that had a manufacturing defect and refused to assist with returning the item, saying that I would need to pay for return shipping myself (which is about 2/3 of the cost of the item, plus would require me to carry it a long distance and it is heavy). That is completely illegal. They cannot send defective or damaged products and force you to go out of pocket for a return. Contact law requires perfect delivery and everything to the exact specifications. The buyer is not responsible for the seller sending damaged or defective items. The seller is. They need to issue a full refund without requiring a return of the table or send someone to pick the item up and pay for the shipping. There are no other options. That is what is legally required because of the defective goods sent and I am declining to keep the item in the condition it was sent in. That is my legal right. Above all of that, their customer service seems to be designed to frustrate you and make you give up. It took over a week of back and forth with no actual resolution. They repeatedly ignored my statements and took days to reply. Absolutely horrible and seemingly fraudulent. Screenshots of the entire exchange are attached.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: The business continues to ignore the requirements for damaged items. See attached email confirming the conversation I had with ******. They advised that I need to pay $200 out of pocket and then the seller is supposed to refund my return shipping cost for damaged items. Their position is that the only reason that the seller can't/won't send me a prepaid label is because they have no way to coordinate that through the ****** website, not because they say they won't pay it when they do get the item. They say they can't do anything else until the seller does in fact refuse to pay once they receive it.It doesn't even make sense that the seller would refuse to do anything except to send me even more extremely heavy items, other than because they overcharged for the table in the first place and want to keep the pure profits. Why would they pay out of pocket to send me a part for free when that part will cost $100+ to ship and then lead to even more waste (both of an identical but not fully functional part that would then need to be thrown away, adding to landfills, and with my time because I have to take the entire thing apart and start over and just hope there aren't other issues with what they send). They also have said multiple times they are not going to follow the ****** requirement. Unfortunately, ****** will not do anything until they refuse to do it once I actually go out of pocket for this, despite them saying many times they will not be abiding by ******'s policy for damaged and defective items (which is what the literal law is).
Furthermore, at the beginning of this interaction I asked for the reasonable solution that would save everyone $100s, not be terrible for the environment with unnecessary shipping, and cause more extreme delays. That was a partial refund. The seller refused and continued making excuses for delays in processing and responding that I needed to try things that made 0 sense and I had already said I tried. For example, they "helpfully" told me that I need to put the s**** in over the top of the leg attachment, not under it, as if I was a complete idiot. Who on earth would think that in order to attach something, you have to s**** something below it...? There would be no connection between the two items. I can only think that they were intentionally delaying even more to frustrate the process. There is no other reasonable explanation.
I am not leaving my money with these scammers. I would have accepted the partial refund that I initially asked for had they not been intentionally slowing things down and hindering the entire process for a full week. The only acceptable solutions are to send me a full refund without requiring a return or to cover the cost of return shipping and then send a full refund. At this point, I don't even believe that they will give me my money back if I DO return the item given how dishonest and intentionally difficult, they have been.

I ordered a dresser from ******* (Bulwark dresser in walnut). I could not put it together so I ******* to see if I could return it. They said yes and sent me a label to return it. I tried to print off the label, but my printer was not able to do so. I called and they said that whoever picked it up would be able to pick it up and leave me paperwork for the dresser. When the man showed up to take the dresser, he said he would take the dresser and be right back in with the paperwork. He never returned with anything. I didn't think anything about it but two weeks later I called ******* to see why I hadn't gotten refunded for the dresser. The person I talked to said not to worry that it just hadn't gotten there since they were backed up. Not to worry and give it a couple of weeks and I would be fine. I waited again and called back. This time I was told to call the delivery service. I called ***. do not know this was not the company who delivered the dresser. They said they couldn't do anything without a tracking number. I explained that the driver never left me a ticket for the dresser, and I had nothing to prove I sent the item back. I called ******* and they wanted the tracking number, and I told them that I could not do that since they never gave me a ticket for the return, Then I found out that they went thru Fed ex and they wouldn't even talk to me unless I had a tracking number. All I could get was a robot telephone agent and no other listing. I called Bulwark but the person I talk to told me there was nothing they could do since I didn't have a tracking number. Please help.

I am rejecting this response because: I am aware of your 30-day policy to return an item for refund IF I changed my mind, or the item was damaged. This is not the case, it is a situation of selling a one thing (King bed) and delivering a something else (California King). You advertised a King bed and sold me a California King. The wrong item was sent, specifically I ordered a King *** and you sent a California King.This wrong item was initially accepted because the shipping box and contents were in good condition. It only became apparent that the incorrect item was sent when the bed was fully assembled - at which time I immediately notified Bison Commerce of the error. The manufacturer has confirmed the order that was filled was a CA King. I have provided several pictures to Bison commerce of the fully assembled bed showing the dimensions are in fact a CA King.
I am only requesting to receive what I paid for. Bison Commerce, admit the error and correct the situation.

On July 7, I placed an order from Bison via ****** for a crib at the price of $119.99. Bison shipped the crib on July 8. Later that day, someone from Bison emailed me to say that my order was cancelled and "It seems that your order got lost in transit, and regrettably, we don't have any stock available to send you a replacement. However, I want to assure you that we've taken care of your refund, which should reflect in your account within the next few days." I followed the tracking via ***** (tracking number ************)- the item was NOT lost. In fact, ***** stated that Bison contacted them to return the package to the sender instead of sending it to me. So, the representative from Bison lied about that. I then went to the ***** website, and it shows that they have plenty of the item in stock - at a price almost 3x the amount that I paid. They are selling it for $329.99 - ************************************************************************************************************. They are refusing to send me the crib at the price that I paid, they only gave me a refund for it and won't honor the original sale. This is shady practice, not only did they lie to me twice - about the status of the shipping but also not having the crib in stock to replace it. I want the item for the price that I paid.Business Response

Hello,
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this situation has caused.
Please note that we experienced internal issues related to the product. Initially, we contacted ***** to investigate the status of your shipment, and at that time, we were informed that the package might have been lost in transit. Based on this information, we sent a notification confirming the loss and processed a full refund for your order.
Shortly thereafter, the package was located and resumed movement through the shipping process. However, since the refund had already been issued, we were required to reroute the shipment back to our warehouse.
Additionally, please be aware that we sell our products across multiple marketplaces, and prices or stock availability may vary depending on the platform. When we advised that the item was out of stock, this reflected the status on the specific marketplace where your order was placed.
Regrettably, as a full refund has already been processed, we are unable to send a replacement for this order. However, you are more than welcome to reorder the item at your convenience.
Please kindly see the proof of the issued refund attached.
We truly understand how disappointing it is when an expected item does not arrive, and we deeply regret the frustration this may have caused. Please rest assured that we are taking steps to improve our processes and prevent similar issues from occurring in the future.

On 05/30/2025, I online purchased a furniture item of mirrored wardrobe from bisonoffice.com under order # *******. The price of the product was total $232.08. I received this delivery on 6/9/2025 via ***** tracking number ************. 3 days after on June 12th, I contacted BisonOffice.com to provide me RMA number to return this item back as I found lot of defects, very poor & quality product and missing items such as mirror in it. Attached is the entire conversation of email. On May 30, 2025, I placed an online order for a mirrored wardrobe from BisonOffice.com under Order #*******, at a total cost of $232.08. The item was delivered on June 9, 2025, via *****. Three days later, on June 12, 2025, I contacted BisonOffice.com to request an RMA number to initiate a return, as after assembling I found the product to be of very poor quality, with numerous defects and missing component, such as mirror itself. Attached are the complete email communications regarding this issue, including the reason for the return and a copy of the purchase receipt.Despite the evident defects and an extensive back-and-forth with BisonOffice.com as detailed in the attached email correspondence, they issued me RMA #******* however, they are refusing to provide a return shipping label and are insisting that I cover the return shipping costs myself. When I visited *****, I was informed that the return shipping would cost approximately $400 due to 2 bulky packages of furniture items, which is significantly more than the original purchase price of $232.08. This is unreasonable and unfair, and it has caused me considerable stress simply trying to return a defective product. Ive also attached a snapshot of their 30-day return policy here. Kindly assist in resolving this matter please. I am requesting that the business provide a return shipping label, along with full reimbursement not only for the defective item but also for the undue stress and effort I have experienced throughout this process.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because I do not wish to keep this poor-quality item and am requesting a full refund. Your policy does not indicate that return shipping is the customer's responsibility. It states, "unless we agree otherwise, you will be responsible for the cost of return." I fail to understand why BisonOffice is unwilling to agree, especially given that this product is defective, missing items, unattractive, and lack of numbered tags.Here I mentioned this the reason of return:
--------
There are several issues with this product. The quality of the material is very poor. For example, in areas like the door hinges, when I try to insert a nail, it immediately pops out due to a lack of grip. As a result, the door hinge can't be secured. I attempted to use a slightly larger nail to create some grip, but it ended up coming through the other side of the door. Similarly, in other areas, the wood splintered when I tried to insert nails, leaving no stable place to secure them.
Additionally, the doors don't close properly because they lack magnets to keep them shut, resulting in them remaining open. Another problem is that the holes for the sliding drawers are misaligned, causing both drawers to overlap and preventing them from closing unless I manually adjust them each time.
Also, to let you know, the mirror is missing in the package. Furthermore, the door and drawer handles are of very cheap quality and can break easily with a general push. These are the reasons of return. It took a lot of hard work at my end to assemble and disassemble everything.
--------
At one point, I was even willing to cover the return shipping costs, provided BisonOffice would send me a return label. Companies like yours typically have agreements with shipping providers that allow for cost-effective shipping, and you could easily deduct the shipping fees from my refund. However, you refused to do so. As it stands, ***** is asking me for $400 to ship back a $232 furniture item, which is completely unreasonable.
Given these disappointing circumstances, BisonOffice should agree to provide me with a return label. This has been my first and last transaction with your business, and I am extremely dissatisfied.

I reject it because I find it unacceptable that BisonOffice expects me to cover $400 in shipping costs for a $232 return. This situation is both unfair and unreasonable.
Their return policy does not state that I would be responsible for shipping costs. It mentions that if they don't agree, I would be liable, but given the circumstances, I dont see why they wouldnt agree to the return. If this issue remains unresolved, I will take legal action with an attorney.
Sincerely,

I placed an order via Amazon for a Bookshelf ORDER # ***-7627548-1553806. When I received the order I hired someone to assemble it. As the item was about a quarter of the way assembled the assembler found that one of the legs was broken and called me to show me. When I went in to see the broken item I could see that it was the wrong item. We took pictures and I immediately reported it to ****** and requested to return the item. I explained that I received the wrong item and on top of that it was damaged. ****** sent a request to the seller ***** Commerce requesting they set up a return pick up. From that point on Bison has been stalling and just continues to ask for the same information over and over and not paying attention to the information they are being provided. They keep saying they are investigating. They are trying to steal my money and that is not acceptable. I want a full refund on what I paid and should be reimbursed the money I am out for the assembly that could not be done because I received the wrong item. This company should be scrutinized for their manner of business. I see they have multiple complaints regarding the same issue{sending the wrong item and not wanting to refund the customer and purposely stalling the return process} this should be addressed as well.For the record I have gone back and forth with ****** and Gabbie. I then called and spoke to **** and asked for the manager which I was told is ******* and was of course told she was not available. How convenient! I am looking for my full refund and to be reimbursed for the money I am out due to the attempted assembly that could not be completed since the wrong item was sent. $320.86 {****** item + ****** assembler}.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
I want an explanation on1)Why I was treated as I was and why your team played games and delayed properly handling my issue days?
2)Why was I continuously asked for the same information over and over again?
3)Why even after speaking to ******* and being assured that all that your company was waiting for was for the warehouse to confirm whether they wanted the item back or not and that nothing else was needed from me I was again asked for additional information?
4)Why did ***** refuse to allow me to escalate my call? She would not allow me to speak to anyone else and hung up on me in the process because I(in several calls) insisted on speaking to ******* or another manager. ***** would never allow me to speak to anyone else. In fact told me to call back next week. What kind of ridiculous answer is that!?
Worst experience and service ever! I have filed an official complaint with Amazon Executive Team as well. I spoke to them last week.
I would like a phone call to discuss this and my wasted time due to your teams games and incompetence. Sure they got paid to mess with me but I surely did not get paid to waste my time on the numerous messages back and forth, several several calls and all the duplicate pictures that were requested.
Lets see what your company has to say about that and how it will be resolved? Maybe ****** and ******* pay should be docked and I should be compensated using their earnings!
I will be expecting a call ************.

On March 28, 2025, I placed an order with ************ for two ****** Specialty Easterbrook end tables.I received two identical boxes labeled ******, but only one contained the correct Easterbrook tables. The second box contained a completely different and significantly cheaper item: the ****** Regent end table, as confirmed by the included assembly instructions.I immediately contacted ************ and provided photos of the incorrect item and its packaging, as requested. I was told they were waiting on their warehouse team to determine whether the item would be replaced or refunded.Over a week later, they asked for additional photos of the correct items packaging, which I could not provide because it had already been recycled. At that point, they informed me I would need to return both items and pay a 15 percent restocking fee plus shipping, even though I never received the correct second table in the first place.The item I ordered is currently listed on their website at $399, while the incorrect item they sent is valued at just $69. I am seeking a full refund or proper replacement without penalty, as the error was on their end.Business Response

Hello,
I hope this message finds you well.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by receiving the incorrect item. We understand how frustrating this must be, and we truly appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter.
To rectify the situation, we are prepared to offer a full refund for the incorrect item without requiring its return. However, at this time, we are unable to process the refund due to the chargeback that has been initiated on your account.
If the chargeback dispute were to be closed, we would be more than happy to proceed with the refund process immediately.
