This is to expose scam run by Ashley furniture stores through broad river rental warranty.I brought sofa,loveseat,chair,coffee table from Ashley in 2021, they coaxed us into taking their diamond care warranty.We had some damage on 3 pieces of furniture mid Feb so filed 1 claim on 21st. It was denied saying its bundled. Please note the clause G in screenshot 1 (important later).On 24th, I filed claims on each.All 3 claims were denied. I called their support & was picked up by a lady who had difficulty communicating,I asked her why the claim was denied.Her response was-based on your pictures,claim is denied. I asked her why but She couldnt say any other line beyond that & transferred me to supervisor.He said claim was denied because it was glue, staple or seam coming off. I said its none of that & then he said buttons are not covered.I said no buttons on my couches.His story changed to-dont cover decoration.I said there is no decoration on sofa & the piece coming off exposes the wood. He said he doesnt care, its not covered.Then he picked on coffee table.I pointed him to the screenshot from Ashley on coverages stating cosmetics are covered.He said he doesnt consider nail polish remover as cosmetic.Please note the clause G in screenshot 2 (important later). I pointed him to the fact-Under Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act), nail products are regulated as cosmetics [FD&C Act, section 201(i)]. He again said he doesnt care.He then started laughing and mocking me and transferred me to a supervisor who disconnected the call.I had the patience and courage to talk boldly to their support though they mocked me.Most of the time warranties are taken by older folks who might not understand the scam.Its pity a huge furniture business as Ashley would partner to scam people out of money! This needs to be addressed, please help make people aware of this scam.Note screenshot of how the clause changes in terms based on what customer files.Business Response

I purchased a bedroom suite in July. The drawer under the bed is sticking and doesnt move . I called in January as it was covered by the store for a year. I was told to wait for the parts to come and call back. They arrived in early February. I called to schedule the repair and was told they had no schedule and to call back the following week. I did and was told there are no repair schedule available and I would get a call back. No call so the following week I called again was told the same. My husband went to the store last week and was promised that someone would call and that we would get a partial refund for our trouble. Its been another week and no call. It is now a month of not getting any repair scheduled. I need this to be fixed or exchanged for a new bed.Business Response

Purchased furniture and the furniture protection plan November 2021. We attempted to submit claim for damage done on our coffee table only to be told since we are no longer within that state and are unable to get to that store. They are unable to help us. In reviewing the 2 pamphlets the store provided, none of it states we need to be in that location. I live within 1 mile of another Ashley store in my new state and are unable to get a replacement here. Additionally, we knew there was a potential for moving with our job and the salesman indicated it could be used anywhere. I'd like a full refund of the warranty amount or replacement of my coffee table.********************Business Response

Dear BBB Representative,
Thank you for reaching out regarding this complaint. We would like to clarify that the complaint has been directed to the incorrect Ashley licensee. The customers purchase was made in ********, and as such, this matter should be addressed by the appropriate Ashley licensee operating in that state.
We kindly request that you redirect this complaint to the correct Ashley location in ******** so they can assist the customer accordingly. Please let us know if you need any further clarification.

I purchased a brown wood bed frame from Ashley Home Furniture Outlet Store on August 1st, 2024. When I received the package, the wood inside was splintered and broke. I contacted the company and was able to order replacement parts. I had the bed frame until January 2025 when it broke when one of the side rails splintered (photos attached). I chatted with the Company's chat feature of their website and they agreed it was not my fault, and they ordered me replacement parts (order #*******) on January 12, 2025. They told me that the order would be shipped within ***** days, and that a tracking number would be texted to me. 10 days later i chatted them again, when they told me I was lied to and that they don't even have the capability of texting me. I have since checked weekly for an update. on 2/7/2025, i checked again and they said they had an order number, but that it would not be able to ship or be delivered until the end of March 2025. I asked if i could pick up the parts from the warehouse and they said they would check and call me back in ***** hours. I never heard back. Today, 2/17/25, I checked again and they said there was still no update and that they needed to check with the warehouse and that they could call me back in ***** hours. Ultimately, I purchased a bed frame that I expected to use, and I have not been able to for months due to a manufacturers defect that the Company said they would fix. It is unfair to me as a customer to purchase something, and have the company give me a run-around for months to get a resolution. They will not help me, have lied to me multiple times, and I am demanding a refund from them for the product I purchased that they are unwilling to make me whole for in a reasonable amount of time.Business Response

The table set that i received was damaged. The delivery driver, told my son to sign the documents for an exchange which was a lied. Now I'm stuck with furniture that's damaged because of the lie that the driver told to my child about signing for a replacement. This is the first time I have every bought anything from this store. I'm not asking for money back, I only want an exchange. They will not exchange the furniture after being notified on same day of delivery about the damages. I dont want a $200 store credit nor a refund of $150.00. I want what i paid for. This went from having an awesome experience to a nightmare. I only want an exchange.Business Response

We had furniture delivered that the drivers knew was damaged and they deviously masked it and got my wife to sign for the delivery. When we realized the recliner was dropped and destroyed on the inside, we called immediately and now they are dragging their feet on replacing the chair because we signed for it. The drivers should have told us they broke the chair and not delivered it.Business Response

Dear Better Business Bureau,
We appreciate the opportunity to address Mr. *********** concerns regarding their recent furniture delivery.
Per our policy, once furniture is accepted into the home, it is eligible for service through our Master Craftsman team rather than an immediate exchange or return. In this case, the guests recliner was reported as damaged after delivery, and we have since ordered the necessary parts to restore the item. If the recliner cannot be fully repaired after this service attempt, we will proceed with an exchange.
We remain committed to assisting the guest and ensuring a satisfactory resolution. Please let us know if any further information is needed.
Best regards,

I am rejecting this response because:
Delivery people were deceptive when they delivered the piece knowing it was broken. This is not a circumstance where policy comes into play due to dishonesty.The master craftsmen said himself, There is no way the delivery people couldve delivered this piece without knowing it was broken
What I am hearing from You is that as long as the drivers get a customer to sign for the goods its ok to lie cheat and steal to do that and I have 0 recourse to get a new piece like I paid for?

My wife and I went out looking for a couple of couches roughly 18 months ago and found a love seat couch and another one that sits three for our living room. The sales team was really nice and helped us find everything we wanted, including a warranty. Well, you know what did me in? That's right, the warranty. If something spills, it's covered. If something rips, it's covered. If something breaks, it's covered. If they can't fix it, they will replace it.Well, apparently not. I called their 5 ************ to submit my claim. The third-party company came back and stated the claim was not within their warranty. This is where I got upset. I called the 5 ************, which is the name of the company, and asked why this was not covered. They stated the rip throughout the liner was not in the scope of the warranty and they couldnt see any damage from the wood on the side since its in the lining. Then, I decided to call Ashley Home Store customer support. They were polite and looked into the matter. After submitting more pictures to their support team, they determined that the wood damage could be fixed by sending someone out to my house to fix that section of the couch. However, they wouldn't be able to fix the lining of the couch because it is not in the manufacturer's warranty. This lining is the only thing that holds up the area in which you sit and is the main issue.The support team said they couldn't help. They stated in five years you will have 400 dollars to spend since it can't be replaced. I won't be going back to Ashley Furniture again. I feel my wife and I were manipulated at the store into buying furniture that is frankly not worth the money because we were guaranteed that our couches would be fixed if there are any damages. It seemed like a good deal considering we didn't expect anything to happen to our couches. I feel this needs to be shared with other potential customers. ****** ******************** stores lie to their customers, check their store reviews.Business Response

Good afternoon,
Unfortunately, we are unable to assist with claims made through extended protection plans. The guest will need to work with the team at the extended protection plan directly for further assistance in filing a claim.
Because this item is no longer covered by the manufacturer warranty, we are unable to assist with filing a claim through the manufacturer warranty. If a claim is made for an issue covered under the warranty while the warranty is still valid, we can assist with service on the item.
We have provided the guest with information to pay for the item to be professionally restored if they would like to go that route.Thank you,
Ashley | Customer Experience Team?

I am rejecting this response because:
This item is still under manufacturer warranty, and the sales team at your Ashley Furniture store stated if there was any damage that it would be either covered by the manufacturers warranty or through the extended plan. There was no mention that the ***** had exceptions to its coverage. And if there are then you were sales team is misleading customers. Looking through your reviews online there are multiple one star reviews for this exact reason.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
This response does not help me in any way other than to state that the company is not liable for your companies deception in how your sales team operates. You then push the complaint down to well just review our policies. As the customer, I expect more and feel that the company should honor their protection plan.
