    Please if you are buying from Ashley Furniture and they tell you GBS is covering the warranty claims, don't believe anything they say. They will lie and tell you everything is covered, you will have a brand new couch. Unfortunately they do not cover anything for their warranty. They deny it and say got get it repaired.

    I purchased a 10-year warranty with GBS for an adjustable bed frame. At year 9, we needed service/repair due to a control box electrical failure. After 13 months of back and forth and several tech visits, GBS determined that they didn’t know how to fix the issue. So, they determined it was a cosmetic issue and not covered under the warranty. DO NOT USE GBS! There is no reason that it has taken over a year for them to determine that the reason our adjustable mattress is inoperable due to cosmetic reasons (which isn’t true…the real issue is the control box). GBS is scamming people and they should be avoided.

    Do not purchase this warranty through Ashley Furniture or any other vendor. We believed they participate in deceptive trade practices as they do not honor their promises of coverage; they will deny legitimate claims, give you the run around for months, are non-responsive, do not provide information in writing when requested, etc. Save your money, time and energy. This has been a horrible experience for us as we have been trying to get a resolution since March of 2024 and it is now July. Truly a horrible company.

    If you want to be able to depend on this coverage for anything accidental- you can’t. It was not worth the money. Any claim that needed to be made took going back and fourth, always escalated to arguing before anything got done and then the wrong parts would be sent, the communication would just stop. Most recently we had an accidental house fire from a stove knob being bumped on that covered our couch in soot. This isn’t covered because it ‘wasn’t an accident caused by the s person or pet. MAKE THAT SENSE. It doesn’t. This company is useless. The amount they charge is outlandish to then cover little to nothing.

    My husband and I bought an expensive leather couch and purchased an extended warranty through ProtectAll. The couch had a significant tear in the leather (14" x 10"), which is covered under the warranty. We sent pictures, and the rep told us that it was not a tear, but a seam separation. The rep would not listen, and kept repeating it is a seam separation and not covered. He further insulted us by telling us that we were not listening to him. I would never purchase an extended warranty from this company again. It is a scam.

Bottom line they won’t cover it. What good is warranty or insurance if they always. Come back with a gotcha denying coverage for this reason or that.

    1 star because 0 stars is not an option. Ashley furniture sold this "warranty". Ashley furniture should be held responsible for lying to customers and selling them false information as well. I attached a photo from Ashley's website showing a photo of a child coloring on the back of a couch as an example of a covered accident. I called GBS to tell them my 2 year old got hold of a marker and scribbled on the back of my "covered" couch (same location as the photo) and GBS denied the claim stating "it falls under misuse because the couch is not meant to be used for coloring on". What a joke!

    I escalated it to management who ghosted me. Now I'm taking to the web to report these scumbags everywhere I can. GBS is a garbage company. 400+ 1 star reviews on here and nearly just as many 1 star reviews on Yelp. How can they get away with this?

    We purchased a mattress and mattress pad to obtain the lifetime warranty. After 7 years, we noticed that the pad had deteriorated and there were small plastic flakes all over the mattress underneath the mattress pad. We filled a claim to get a replacement for the mattress pad and also noted there were a few small stains that went through the pad, likely due to the deterioration. We wanted a stain kit that we read about on the warranty and were not asking for a new mattress. They agreed to send a replacement pad but would not send us even a stain kit. I don't think the pad is worth the investment since they won't stand by the warranty even to send a simple cleaning kit.

    I bought several pieces from The Dump in suburbs of Chicago. Over $7k in furniture actually. I purchased the extended warranty and had no issues until about 6 mos in. One of the power recliner motors stopped working. So I called GBS and they said they would send a technician out. Three weeks later the technician shows up and takes a few pictures and leaves. He was here for no more than 5 minutes and tells us he will order a part, it will ship to us and call back to schedule an appointment to install it when the part arrived.

    Seven weeks later I call back to check on status and confirm a motor was ordered. The customer service representative, apologized and said they would "expedite" my ticket and someone would call me back in 3 to 5 days. Fast forward to now January and 5 months since my ticket was submitted and I still have not heard anything. I called again and they said they would "expedite" again, but could not advise on next steps since they had not heard back on the replacement part. I am back where I started and just keep getting the same runaround. I hope they listen to their customer service calls and realize how horrible their services are. Very disappointing that they get away with taking everyone's money.

    I chose a star because it does not allow you to upload the review with 0 star. I bought a set of furniture at Ashley Furniture in 2021, we put a protection plan on it since they told us that they covered any issue that occurred on the furniture, so we decided to buy the protection plan for 5 years in case something happened since the furniture has a price not cheap. It turns out that now, after 2 years and a little more, we contacted this company and they told us that all issues are excluded from the protection.

    Conclusion The furniture that Ashley Furniture sells is not of the quality that they promote, nor does the protection product have any quality. I also learned that when I buy some furniture again I will not return to Ashley Furniture, much less put in a protection plan, if the item I'll buy has a problem that I can fix I will do it, or replace it, but not waste my money on these "protections" that when you need they don't provide anything.

    I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with GBS Extended Warranty's customer service, and I must say it was nothing short of frustrating and disheartening. From the very beginning, it became evident that their primary goal was not to assist or provide support but rather to find any excuse to deny coverage. Upon reaching out to customer service, I had the displeasure of speaking with Andrew and Jesus, who seemed more interested in reciting a script of exclusions than genuinely addressing my concerns. It felt as though their sole purpose was to inform me of what wasn't covered, rather than helping me navigate the terms of the warranty or finding a solution.

    What struck me most was their apparent lack of empathy and understanding. Instead of working collaboratively to resolve the issue, Andrew and Jesus consistently emphasized what the warranty did not cover, leaving me with a sense of frustration and helplessness. It seemed as though their approach was designed to discourage customers from pursuing legitimate claims. Furthermore, the lack of transparency in their communication was alarming. Instead of providing clear explanations, I often felt like I was being given the runaround, with vague responses and convoluted reasoning. It was disheartening to realize that their customer service model revolves around deflecting responsibility rather than providing genuine assistance.

    In essence, my encounter with GBS Extended Warranty's customer service left me deeply dissatisfied. The dismissive attitude and apparent disinterest in resolving customer issues have undoubtedly tainted my perception of their brand. I strongly caution potential customers to carefully consider their options before investing in GBS Extended Warranty, as the supposed coverage may not be as comprehensive as advertised, and the customer service experience is far from satisfactory.

    We purchased our couch and two rocker recliners one year ago. Upon purchasing our furniture, we also purchased a warranty. On July 27th, we pulled our couch out to lay on the bed. Upon sitting down on the bed, the metal mechanism pictured, bent (with one person) rendering us unable to put the bed back into the couch. We immediately contacted the representatives from Protect All, the insurance company from which we purchased our warranty. Due to the bent metal mechanism, the bed was unable to fold back into the couch and was stuck in an upright position. For this reason, the representative ”OK’d” the removal of the bed.

    It is in Protect All’s warranty information that if we ‘do not protect the furniture from further damage,’ the furniture will not be covered by warranty and the representative was in agreement. The couch being stuck in the upright position would have posed a safety risk to our family and the weight, undoubtedly, would’ve caused more damage to the cheap metal used to manufacture it. Protect All scheduled a video consultation a week or so later. During the video consultation, the representative apologized and said that the next phone call we would be receiving would be within a week from a technician to schedule a time to come out and repair the couch. The next contact received was over a week and a half later and it was not a phone call. It was a cold email, denying our claim, stating that the reason they wouldn’t help was because we “removed the mechanism.”

    Despite getting clearance from the representative on the night it occurred, this is their reason for not honoring the warranty we purchased. I’ve also tried to contact Ashley HomeStore several times in an effort to get it fixed under their mechanism warranty, which should have been good for 3 years, to no avail. The individuals I have spoken with on the phone have been as equally cold as their emails. Representatives from Protect All, refusing to escalate or transfer your call. Representatives from Ashley promising a return call, without intention of doing so.

    We have a protection plan on a sectional approx 18 months old. On 7/12 I had an accident and fell and spilled wine on the couch. Naturally the wine splattered when it hit the floor and hit multiple pieces of the sectional. Upon calling the agent indicated this is typically covered under our plan, and after reviewing the plan it in fact is covered. An agent was sent to our house which spent less than 5 minutes just to take pictures. There was no attempt to clean the accident.

    After the agent left, we received an email stating they are choosing not to cover us. After calling the representative explained that our damage was "too extensive", and that it would have been covered if only spilled on one piece. The contract does not specify that it must be one piece, in fact the contract specifically covers all pieces.

    I purchased a dinette set from Haynes Furniture in Virginia Beach, VA in October 2021. The dinette set did not hold up well over time, and began to show surface water stains and bubbles in January of 2022. The fabric on the chair would stain when you tried to clean it, one chair broke in the fall of 2022. My husband tried to fix it by screwing in the bolt but the bolt kept coming loose, thus the chair broke again. I called Protect All by GBS to make a claim to get my dinette set fixed or replaced, and they denied my claim and said they would not do anything because the first incident was not reported the first 30 days after it occurred, and anything else would be considered an accumulation and would be denied for that reason.

    I looked up this company online, and they have a 2-star rating because of their rigid terms and high denial rate on claims. I am convinced that they are in business to collect payment on protection plans they have no intention of honoring. As a Protected Air Force veteran and educator I like to support the local and national economy, but I really feel hustled out of the $200 I spent on the protection plan when the dinette set was only $600.

    Not sure I can say much more than all the other 1 star reviews on here. This company is an absolute scam. I was told by Ashley Furniture (who I'll never buy anything from again either) this plan would cover everything. Guess what it doesn't cover? What happened to my couch. A rip in the edging of the cushion, what they call the piping. Yet the plan says they only don't cover tears to the seams, which I don't consider this a seam and it's not a matter of the fabric pulling away. I just found this out after a month of back and forth with them via phone, email, and website. The customer service people (person?) you can't understand and everything is a chore.

    Finally today he told me they hadn't received the pictures I sent in, so I had to send them via text. 10 minutes later he's telling me sorry they don't cover this and here's a number for a company who can fix it out of pocket. To say I'm furious is an understatement. I'm sure I'll get nothing out of it, but I'm taking this as far as possible because these people are scam artists. Don't ever buy anything from Ashley and NEVER purchase a protection plan from GBS.

My fabric on my sofa is coming apart. I called one warranty company and gave them the info and pictures and state they would call or email me back with the info to get it taken care of. I got an email three weeks later stating that they were the wrong warranty company. To call GBS.

    So I called them and told them all the information and pictures and they say that they won't fix my sofa because I waited too long, and that it was normal wear and tear. I have holes in the fabric and the fabric is fraying. It's like one day it's fine and the next there is a hole. I use nothing on my sofa. No sprays or anything. So, this shouldn't be happening. I was told when we purchased this warranty that no matter what or who damaged the sofa that they would cover it. Warranty companies are such a scam. I should have known better to buy it, but paying over 2000 for the sofa I thought it wouldn't hurt.

    I recently had an absolutely horrendous experience with the furniture protection insurance I obtained from Ashley Morris Furniture a couple of years ago. Let me tell you, it was an utter nightmare dealing with their so-called customer service, especially when I needed them the most. After purchasing a sofa worth $2700, I encountered an unfortunate accident that resulted in significant damage to the wood frame, rendering the sofa completely unsafe for use. Naturally, I contacted their customer service line, only to be put on hold for an excruciatingly long hour. Finally, I spoke with a representative named Jeremiah, who seemed disinterested and oblivious to my concerns.

    Jeremiah repeatedly asked if there were any damages to report, even though I explicitly highlighted the critical issue of the wood frame damage. Frustrated, I relented and mentioned two minor issues after his persistent questioning. To document everything, Jeremiah requested that I attach photos through an emailed link and assured me of a prompt response. However, to my utter dismay, I received no follow-up communication whatsoever.

    After waiting for what felt like an eternity - 9 calendar days to be exact - I summoned the courage to call them back. Yet again, I was subjected to an infuriating 45-minute wait before being transferred to a supervisor, who coincidentally was also named Jeremiah. This Jeremiah informed me that they were facing staffing shortages, resulting in significant delays in handling customer inquiries. He requested an overall photo of the sofa, seemingly oblivious to the actual damages I had reported, and promised a response within 5 business days. However, as expected, those days came and went without any sign of communication from their end.

    Growing increasingly frustrated, I reached out again after 7 business days, insisting on speaking with the same supervisor, Jeremiah. Astonishingly, Jeremiah's tune had completely changed. He callously declared that the damages wouldn't be covered due to the multiple issues I had reported. Despite my repeated explanations that the primary concern was the wood frame damage and the other two issues were merely secondary, he dismissively categorized them as "accumulated damages" and denied coverage.

    To say that this entire experience was a complete ripoff would be an understatement. It is deeply disheartening to think that they believe they can deceive consumers while escaping the attention of consumer protection agencies. Moreover, it reflects poorly on Ashley Morris Furniture for associating themselves with such unscrupulous and unreliable insurance companies. I am genuinely astounded that they were unaware of the damaging impact this would have on their reputation.

    To prove their intention to cheat they go by several names - ProtectAll, GBS and many more. In conclusion, I strongly caution against purchasing furniture protection insurance from this company. Their abysmal customer service, endless delays, and deceptive practices have left me feeling utterly cheated and utterly disillusioned.

    We bought our couch 3 years ago (2020) from Ashley Furniture and bought this 5 year protection plan because it seemed reasonable to protect a $2500 piece of furniture. I just called today because of a rip in the chaise lounge cushion. The customer service rep asked me a series of questions so he could “file a claim,” but then said the claim was denied because of “accumulation of damage.” When I told him I didn’t care about the pilling and other wear that he’d asked about on the couch but only about the rip, he told me that it was “too late” and that he wasn’t allowed to go back and change any information, when it was his questions that led me to reveal the fact that my couch had aged over the last three years.

    I felt tricked and even embarrassed that I had been so naive. What good is a 5 year “protection plan” if it doesn’t protect anything after there is wear on other areas of the couch that I don’t even care about compared to the rip I had called about? What a waste of money. Don’t get this worthless rip off “protection plan” that left us totally unprotected.

We filed a claim on February 14, 2023, provided pictures and received a denial. This furniture cost us almost $5000. One of the cushions on the side is tearing. We have no pets, we have no children and we are not overweight for this to happen. I have tried twice by re-opening my claim, and it continued to be denied, according to them, if the furniture would be punctured, stained by urine, blood, pen, crayons then they will cover.

    I purchased a warranty for my furniture a couple of years ago. I filed a claim and sent pics. It’s amazing what they will pick and choose to cover in their warranty. I have some deep scratches on the armrest of a leather recliner. Scratches that will soon become worse and reveal the stuffing inside. They refuse to fix it so it won’t get worse, but yet if someone smokes a cigarette and burns my armrest, they’ll cover that. It doesn’t make sense. It’s funny how when we bought the furniture, the salesman promoted the warranty, saying, “If anything happens, we will fix it.” No, they won’t. They just lie to get your money.

    I wish I could leave ZERO stars to GBS and Ashley HomeStore. Everything looked so good at Ashley. But after only 4-5 months, veneer began to come off our dining set table, screws fell out of the seat cushions and a sofa sleeper severely began sagging in the middle. SADLY we purchased the extended warranty by GBS for $179 dollars, which resulted in nothing but futile attempts to receive service. Despite repeated calls, we were given the runaround and always denied, actually, ignored.

    To top it all off, I recently mailed a letter along with photos of our defective dining set to the CEO of Ashley, Todd Wanek, and was punted to "escalations," who denied me any help. Though our measly one year warranty was expired, our extended coverage remains active. Ashley could have used their clout to at least intervene with GBS. Instead, Ashley merely said that I need to pursue the matter on my own. Shameful. I will NEVER purchase anything from Ashley again and wholeheartedly do NOT recommend the place to others.

It was defective product they ignored it and here we are we filed a claim again. Technician came, he told he will request parts and they will come directly to our home, almost one month nothing. So, we called GBS and we were told it was not covered because it is because of ABUSE. So, we talked to the agent almost like 1 hour and she ordered the part. But she told us for the tears they are not tears in their eyes they are just holes. I mean if fabric gets tears and if that tears get wider. That’s not a tear for them it is a hole.

    My recommendation is to all customers DO NOT PAY this for FAKE protection plan, they are protecting only their back not your furniture. They try to find a way to not cover anything. It is nonsense. It is kind of you are paying to not get covered for anything, that’s guaranteed.

    Like every single person who has written a review about them, I was persuaded to buy the 5 yr warranty by the salesperson at Ashley in Tupelo, MS. It sounded like solid advice because the plan covers everything for five years. Just like everyone else, my claim was denied sight unseen. First, they just replied that they didn’t have any contractors in the area that could get by and look at my couch. I guess they were just going to leave it at that. After calling and complaining, they finally sent someone out who looked at the couch for about five minutes and said that he was going to recommend that they replace all the cushions and covers.

    A week or so went by and we didn’t hear anything. When I finally called GBS, I was told that it wasn’t covered because it required the entire couch to be cleaned. Nowhere in the plan does it say that is not covered. Everything happened in one single incident. I could go on and on but the moral of the story is don’t buy any furniture from Ashley and don’t purchase any warrant that is services by GBS enterprises. I don’t really even think they exist.

    I purchased a 5 year premium warranty from The Dump in March 2018. The Dump transferred responsibility for warranty claims after 1 year to GBS. The original terms and conditions I viewed upon purchasing the furniture did not include restrictions to exclude furniture frame defects, nor did it include a requirement to submit a claim within 30 days of problem occurrence. However, when calling GBS to honor the warranty, they refused to repair the furniture, citing their new terms and conditions requiring a claim be submitted within 30 days of noticing a problem with the furniture, and also re-defining the furniture frame to exclude internal frame connectors and joining. Three different dictionary definitions I was able to find include "furniture frame" are:

    1 ) Furniture is made by joining pieces of wood together.
    2) The furniture frame gives the structural support and determines its basic shape.

    3) A frame is the structural support or the basic shape of a piece of furniture before it is upholstered, stained or veneered.

    All three definitions include the joining parts of a sectional couch, which includes the internal joints and connectors. Some of these connectors are broken and under warranty, but GBS fraudulently claimed that since a sectional couch can be separated into different pieces, these connectors are "external ornamentation" and are not covered. However, the couch cannot function or retain its basic shape without these connections joining the different sections. This is a breach of warranty and fraud, not to mention dishonest, by altering or adding to the original warranty terms, and attempting to redefine the furniture frame to excludes its basic components.

    I purchased a warranty on my sectional from GBS. The arm and back of the couch broke and so I submitted a claim. They referred me to a third-party technician. The technician was on-time and very kind. He told me due to the location of the break, he was unable to repair my couch and so he put a temporary fix using wood glue but said it would not hold over time. He said that the couch was unrepairable.

    When I contacted GBS to follow up on what needed to be done, they said that the technician reported that the couch was fully repaired and included in the report were things that he did not do (such as putting screws to secure the couch). When I notified them that the technician did not put screws to fully repair the couch, they sent him back out. He came back out and told me there was nothing more he could do and again said it was unrepairable and that he was including that in his report. Upon contacting GBS, they again told me his report showed that the couch was fully repaired. Either GBS is not being fully transparent with me or the technician is not— either way, this has been a frustrating experience in attempting to repair my couch.

I made a claim for a huge spill 3/22. Two weeks later he said he'd come in 3 weeks. He took a picture of the couch so wet that all you could see was water. When the couch dried, many stains remained. I called immediately to ask for someone else. He came and took pictures, then I was asked for pictures.

    Six weeks, 5 calls, and different answers every time, I got an email that it wasn't covered because it was "accumulated" damage. They are so stupid they don't know what that means. Common sense tells you you can't accumulate stains in exactly the same place that was "cleaned" a few hours ago. I've filed a complaint to BBB. The furniture store is going to escalate the claim to try to get it fixed, then get me a pro-rated refund. I'm not expecting anything from these idiotic, money-grubbing people who make no effort to provide service as promised.

Customer service rep denied some damage on a sofa because they are multiple punctures on the fabric and they don't cover multiple instances, when I asked what is the meaning, he said it has to be just one puncture or tear, not multiple, so basically if you have an accident make sure it is only one hole or one puncture or they assume it is a pet or a shark attack. Claim denied based on assumptions, not what I was explaining happened. Contacted a manager and it seem they read from the same "script" making assumptions that the damage was done by a pet/shark based on a photo. They will make any excuse on the rainbow to not honor their supposedly warranty. Waste of money and time.

    I purchased a warranty plan for furniture that I purchased from Ashley Furniture 2 years ago. I have been attempting to file a claim for over 3 months now and I cannot get ANYONE to return a call or a email. I am growing increasingly frustrated with this company. I paid $300 for this warranty and to not be able to get a hold of ANYONE is very aggravating. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have purchased this service.

They don't even bother or even send someone to check and simply denied it's normal wear and tear. I would recommend not but these kind of protection plans. It's complete wastage of money.

    In August 2019 I purchased a sleeper sofa and added a 5 yr protection plan by GBS. I filed a claim on 10/20/2021 and received a disapproval in less than 2 minutes. I contacted the company by telephone immediately and my claim was also disapproved then. My claim was for where the family cat had urinated on the couch. When the incident happened we tried our best to clean it using over the counter products. I removed the stains but the odor remains. I was told that because there were no stains that it was not covered. It clearly states in the product that the coverage includes damage from pet bodily fluids. It also asks you during the claim process if you did anything to try to correct the issue, which I told them I had used OTC products to clean the area.

    This company is all about playing on words in order to disapprove claims. I then asked the lady to cancel my remaining contract nd refund the remaining funds. She said she needed the invoice, which had been included with my claim. She told me that since the invoice was handwritten that they could not accept it as proof. It seems that this company has the answer for anything that would cost them a penny out of their pocket. This company is nothing more than a scam to rip people off. DO NOT PURCHASE A WARRANTY FROM GBS.

    If by any chance a furniture co. offers you a coverage with GBS protection decline it. It is worthless. I called to report a problem with a couch that I bought at Ashley furniture 2 years ago, the insurance was for 5 year protection. The frame has twisted due to faulty craftsmanship? And they wanted to know when this first happened. After I started going to my chiropractor weekly for having a twisted back he saw the defect in the couch.

    When I reported this to GBS they asked how long has it been going on "pick an exact date". I told her I did not know but for the sake of argument I picked June 19th since that was the first time I saw my chiropractor for the first time in a long time. She said they would not honor that claim since I did not report it in the first 30 days of happening. Couches deteriorate slowly, and the frame subsides slowly, it did not break. Now I have to pay Ashley Furniture to fix my couch with my money. DO NOT BUY GBS PROTECTION, BEWARE.

It has been impossible to get someone on the phone. I have been told they will not cover because they do not cover frames, yet it is clearly stated in my plan paperwork that frames and structural damage is covered. Also, I am not even 100 percent sure the problem is a frame. All I know is I heard a loud pop on the couch and it now sits lower. This is accidental damage to a part or mechanism of the sectional.

    Hi, We purchased a furniture protection plan with an Ashley couch. Kids at our home were crafting decorations for a birthday party and ripped a couch with a box cutter accidentally. We called GBS for the protection plan. My wife whose first language is not English filed the claim. First an agent denied it saying it was frayed not cut, but the photos clearly showed it was a cut. We spoke to supervisor named Erica, she first claimed she will review call and get back. After reviewing a one hour call, she got back saying it was denied because my wife used a word 'play' instead of 'craft project'. She also asked me to take responsibility of my wife if she does not know English. She was unprofessional and racist. Also, she told me that she is the only supervisor and I cannot complain about her to anyone. They use tactics to fish for words to deny the call. English is not the first language for my wife and I, and it seems racist to pick on words to deny claim.

    Please do not buy this warranty. If I could give a rating of (-5 stars) I would. I paid extra money for a 5 year warranty from this company GBS that my sales rep sold to me. Now 2 years later when I need my nightstand and dresser drawer repaired my claim has been declined by GBS. I am now being told they will not repair the damage because it’s more than 1 scratch and the damage appears to be normal wear and tear. However, I was told by my sales rep this warranty would cover any damages on my bedroom set. (DO NOT BUY THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY.) It’s a complete waste of time and money, nothing will be covered when you call in to make a clam despite what your sales rep is telling you.

    I am so disgusted with both Ashley furniture and GBS at this point. I was never given the warranty info the day I purchased the furniture to know what would be covered or not covered. When I asked for a copy to review for my records I was told GBS had not sent any to the location for customers at this time. I will never buy anything from Ashley Furniture again. I paid over $3500 for poor quality cheaply made furniture that will most likely need to be replaced within 5 years of buying it. This company and its warranty is not worth your time or money.

    This warranty is a scam. I purchased a sectional sofa with an oversized ottoman from Ashley Furniture at Naperville including a five-year a full coverage PREMIUM plan (ProtectAll By GBS). At the time of purchasing the furniture, I asked the sales person if the ottoman is strong enough as it seems that is not, he said any issue with the frame will be covered by a protection plan. After less than 18 months, the ottoman decking started to go down. I filed a claim to the GBS Warranty Services.

    An assessor visited the furniture and said the frame material is defective. It is supposed to have strips under deck to support it and avoid this issue, he said. But this is my observation, the company must make a decision to repair it and replace it. But after a week I got an email that denied my claim. GBS says "Decking Damage – Per the terms and condition of your protection plan decking damage is not listed as coverage on your protection plan and as a result is deemed non-warranted.". It is such a ridiculous excuse. There is no explanation for not covering decking damage in warranty policy as well as Ashley's website. The assessor also verified this is the furniture issue.

    Then I went to Ashley to find my sales person that I couldn't find. I talked to another sales person and explained the issue but he said you must follow it up with the GBS Warranty and Ashley is not responsible for that. I asked him why you sell something that you know will be damaged very soon because of the lack of quality. Finally, after a long conversation, his point was that this is kind of Ashley's policy to keep the cost low by sacrificing furniture's quality. They also outsource warranty to a 3rd party to deviate customers' dissatisfaction from their company.

    We purchased a sectional leather couch from Ashley Furniture. Sales rep said we should definitely purchase the warranty just in case. I asked about the damage it would cover to the sales Rep before buying the warranty. He said it would cover all accidents to the couch. Well, we had an accident with one of our grandkids taking a knife to the couch. It ripped it in 3 places. I took some leather tape to hold it together and filed a claim. GBS denied the claim saying because I put tape on it they will not cover it. They also denied because it was not normal wear.

    The reason people buy accident protection plans are for accidents!!! I am a business owner myself and would never operate my business like this. I cannot believe they denied my claim. After looking the company up I see this is normal for GBS. Ashley Furniture is a part of this corrupt selling of warranties. I will never buy from them again.

A year and half later (July 1st 2021) the headrest motor stopped working and it was stuck in a forward position which made it extremely uncomfortable for our necks. I contacted GBS and filed a claim. A tech was sent out by one their contractors who advised the motor needed to be replaced. GBS said the motor would arrive at my home in 2 weeks. Well that never happened. I gave them another week and called and asked why hasn't it arrived. They said no that's not the case, parts take up to 4 weeks. The part never came so I called again and was advised the part will arrive on 8/26/2021 and she promised. I said thank you bc my husband has been in the hospital since 8/3 and it would nice if he had a comfortable chair to sit in when he return home. It's the only chair we have In our living room.

    The part never arrived. I gave them 2 more days and then called again. They said, "We don't know when it will come. You need to call Ashley furniture." I called Ashley who said it's GBS responsibility. They contacted GBS for me and said someone would call me from GBS IN 2 DAYS. NO CALL. CRICKETS. I called and the staff didn't know anything, didn't know what was up with the part, said she would escalate to a supervisor. Again Crickets. So I emailed the company. A person got back to me and said a supervisor contacted the retailer and is waiting on a answer? Of course no follow up on them even after I emailed her back and told her I was contacting the Better Business Bureau and the insurance commission. Still no response. I have filed a complaint with BBB.

    What frustrates me is that I will have to wait several days for a response to BBB by GBS and they will probably say a part will arrive in a few weeks and so the cycle continues. And I'm out of 150.00 for a useless warranty and over 800 for a recliner We cannot use. Very upset right now. My husband has been very ill for a while now and to have to go back and forth and be treated like a non person is very upsetting and hurtful.

I assumed that I would receive the warranty information when the furniture was delivered on 8/21/2021 (it was on backorder).

    On 8/21/2021 the delivery people explained that they were not provided the document to give to me so I visited ashley homestore on 8/22/2021 to obtain a brochure as having a warranty with no documentation is worthless as they could state that anything that occurs would not be covered and I would have no recourse. Again I was told that ashley had no brochures provided from gbs. I contacted gbs this week via phone (week of Aug 28, 2021) and have emailed several times but have received only a promise via text by a representative that someone would call me asap. I only got a text response because I gave a dissatisfied rating of their customer service via text when they initiated.

    I called ashley customer service on 8/27/2021 and explained to the representative that I want to cancel the warranty from gbs that ashley furniture had sold me and was told that I needed to visit the ashley store in person to get the cancellation and refund. I visited ashley homestore 8/28/2021 and was told by a manager that they cannot cancel the warranty after the furniture is delivered-so now I am attempting to see what can be done through ashley corporate office. I was also told that if I disputed the charge for the gbs portion of the ashley invoice I would be "Sent to collections."

    After about 3 months with the rugs, we noticed a lot of these issues starting to occur and after months of arguing with Ashley's, we decided to never shop there again, but always held on to hope that GBS would help us when we really needed it. This was an incorrect assumption. I literally just got off the phone with a GBS agent And to my genuine surprise, the very rude agent refused to help me. She had me go through the whole process only to at the very end tell me that my claim would be denied. The manufacturing damage was due to Ashley's, but the staining and cleaning should have been handled by GBS which it was not and for a certain will not be. I paid for a 5-year service plan and now I'm left with nothing. They do not cover literally anything having to do with the rugs, only light staining. What a terrible rip off and a terrible company.

We are reasonable people who understand you can’t always get your way & we don’t expect that. But when it comes to insurance companies/warranties/etc. that we & others are talked into buying as a means to protect an investment, we do expect that a “good faith” effort will be made by the company to resolve their customer's problem when it is supposed to be covered by the policy they paid good money to have in case it’s needed.

    In fact, it was my hope & intent to change my previous review to 5 stars after I got a response by the company from it. By the way things were communicated in their response, it did seem as if they were at least making a real effort to resolve our problem. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be cohesive communication internally with their reps because I have been told conflicting info repeatedly & as of today, we are now back to square one… Exactly where we started when the initial review was submitted. Not to mention the amount of my time is have wasted on trying to get this taken care of. That alone has cost me more money, so I will not be putting any more time & effort into trying to work on a resolution at this point. It’s highly disappointing & I do hope this will help someone else from getting into the same situation when buying furniture. Do not let them talk you into purchasing this warranty, most especially if you are on a budget!

    Original review: I asked so many questions prior to purchasing this warranty, to the point that it became kind of a joke with the employees! I was assured my new sofa would be covered if we experience problems with animal fluids, etc. so against my better judgement, we splurged for the 5 year plan to cover this expensive furniture. I have not made any claims whatsoever until recently & never received a response to my first claim.

    I called to check on it a couple of weeks later & was told they will not do anything other than clean the outer material of the furniture. No deeper than that, which isn’t of much help. Needless to say, they still have yet to send anyone out & I have actually just filed a subsequent claim which I don’t expect to go much different. But I will definitely come back to change my review if it actually does!!! It seems they get away with ripping people off because there is no one to hold them accountable considering people don’t tend to file bad faith lawsuits on lower amounts like this, but perhaps it is time for “we the people” to finally put an end to this type of bad business practices.

F&F reportedly only has a single employee (who lives in LA) capable of repairing electric lift chairs and this representative reportedly only visits the SF Bay Area a couple of days a month.

    Since there was no ETA from GBS or F&F (after many phone calls) regarding my repair after three weeks, I was required to purchase a second electric chair ($1,000) since my wife requires the chair with the electric lift feature to meet her mobility needs. GBS told me that a replacement chair would not be provided by GBS unless parts are no longer available - even if it takes a year to resolve the issue.

I spoke with Ashley Furniture reps who referred me to these guys with whom I have paid. I called GBS and I am unable to get through for at least the last 4 weeks every time I have called. At this point I may as well go buy a bottle of leather stain remover. I do not feel that the protection plan is a good way to go, being that the status of my claim has been closed without a call or status. I am totally dissatisfied with their service.

    I am asking for an in-store credit of what I paid for this service, because it is not worth it. It is a lot of work and once completed this is what I got. "A closed status" without even speaking with me. What I desire is a refund! I could buy my own stain remover if this is the service I am going to get. It is a sad issue when Ashley Furniture store is the one who hired them to take the business, and yet Ashley Furniture store will do nothing.

    About two years ago, I spent almost $4,000 at Ashley's Furniture plus I purchased the 5-year warranty because it was a large purchase. Recently I noticed some wood chipped on the front and side of my daughter's white five drawer chest. Last week I filed a claim and sent the required pictures and receipt. A few days later I receive an email asking for clear pictures. However before I could even send them additional pictures, I receive another email within 2 minutes of their first email stating my claim was denied. I would have never purchased the warranty if I had known it does not cover the basic chips. I will no longer shop at Ashley's furniture nor will I purchase a warranty from GBS.

    This is a real nightmare. I have paid $369.99 to cover any possible damages to my bedroom set, which was a very expensive one. Now that I needed the repair, I struggled for almost a month to file a claim, and now they keep requesting information and pictures, when I respond with the requested information, they send me another email requesting more information. It is almost two months now, they do not want to repair the bedroom set and they are just making it impossible!! I do not recommend it at all, it is much easier to hire someone to fix any damages later than going through all this humiliation.

After I saw how the chair was put together with staples and not with screws, I would definitely recommend GBS to people who buy the same chair I got.

    I was a little worried because of the unwritten rule that what happens to my furniture has to be an accident. It's not like anyone's going to purposely break their furniture so the rule is silly. Things go wrong. Other than that, we utilized our GBS warranty when the electrical cord was broken in the headrest. I was happy with the customer service because they were quick.

    Our outdoor sectional purchased from Ashley’s Furniture was delivered June of 2019. We were convinced to purchase the warranty that would cover accidental damage on our “weatherproof” outdoor furniture. In May 2020 we noticed rips beginning to show on multiple cushions and contacted GBS. Contacted again in July 2020 with no solution. Rips turned into holes real quick and contacted again the beginning of this year. They finally sent a technician who was very friendly and helpful. He stated he was going to recommend all new cushions for our outdoor sectional.

    After attempting to get ahold of GBS multiple times after technician visit and waiting for 1 hour on the phone we finally touched base with someone who stated we have “accumulated damaged” and it “wasn’t covered”. If they had sent someone out in May of 2020 when we requested it it wouldn’t been handled so of course the damages “accumulated “. Ridiculous! Won’t ever buy from Ashley furniture or a warranty from GBS again!

    I purchased a leather couch set from Ashley Furniture. I bought the protection plan because the rep stated if anything happens to our couches, it will be covered. We read through the pamphlet on GBS and that seemed to be true. One day, we found a large stain on the headrest of our couch. We guessed it was from something in someone's hair. We contacted GBS and they sent a technician out, who confirmed it was a stain and would need to be repaired. A few days later, we found out the claim was denied because this was not a stain but color loss. We were told the technician is not trained to make those decisions. So someone on a computer somewhere decided to deny our claim because GBS can change the definition of a stain as they see fit. This is a complete joke of a company and a scam.

    Last year, I purchased 5 year protection plan along with my sofa.

I made my 1st claim this month. It got rejected because there are more than one stain. When I called the tech support, she mentioned that GBS only could accept only one stain. Any more than one stain in the picture, it got rejected.

    In this case, if my daughter spilled more than one stain in one incident, it does not cover. Second, that's mean that I need to make a claim so often because every time there is one stain in the sofa, I need to file it. Lastly, during this pandemic, we should limit a visitation to someone's home. In this case, if GBS wants to make a claim for one stain at one time, how many times in one year, the technician come to my home? Overall, the policy does not make sense.

It was sent July 6th, 2020. They (BBB) responded within days of receiving our letter, informing us of what they were doing to follow-up with GBS.

The claim was filed July 9th and the repair was not done until after September 25th. Both times, we were left with a recliner that didn't work for the whole time. Both times, I had to spend hours on the phone to get any action.

    The leather is cracking on the couch. GBS is claiming that in the fine print it says the leather isn't covered unless the rip goes all the way through. I made the assumption that if I bought a warranty for 5 years, I could be assured the couch would last for 5 years, but I guess it has to last with the leather cracked and poking you.

He explained they would fix anything including water stains, mechanical issues, scratches, etc. I have some water stains on my nightstand, the drawers under the bed no longer pull out (broken mechanisms) and some scratches on the top of my dresser and headboard. All things covered under the warranty on the pamphlet they gave me when we purchased.

    I filed a claim in January 2020. Crickets... I called again and sent pics, Denied. I called again and they finally sent company out to take pics in September of 2020. They finally send another denial. "According to terms and condition of your protection plan, the damage reported is considered accumulation and pet damage." This is a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY... and this has ZERO pet damage. This company does NOT stand behind their warranty. At all. I will never buy another warranty again. Complete waste of $500.

    I got a sectional and I bought GBS Warranty for it. My dad is in and out of rehab right now and was crashing on my couch and spilled chili all over my couch one night. I needed to get that fixed because I'm not down with chili stains on a couch. I had another warranty company with a different sectional that I had before, and that was the worst experience of my life. GBS was so easy, and they were quick. It was effortless. I almost felt like I had to do nothing. It was nice.

    I spoke to two representatives and both of them were great. I had to do a return and exchange my couch when I first bought it. The guy was super helpful, super quick and made me feel really comfortable. Then I didn't realize that I didn't tell him it was an exchanged couch. So, when I went online, I was logged in at the same time, and I could see the claim immediately. I didn't realize that it was the wrong type of couch. I called back and the girl that I talked to was really helpful. She even gave me a number to text the pictures to. I was able to send everything super quickly. They were so nice and they laughed with me, too. GBS is excellent in every way. Even the guy that came and did the service was great, too. He even showed me what to do to make sure that the couch piece would dry because it takes a while. He was super nice.

    After/while, purchasing our sectional sofa from FFO in St Joseph MO, the salesman talked us into the extra warranty. He explained they would fix anything, breakdown, replace sofa if it was broken. We have had the sofa a year and a half and we started having problems within the first 5 months with breakdown. The FFO manager gave us new cushions and has been wonderful. He told me to contact our warranty company and explain the frame and the wood that was sticking out of our couch. We did...it took them roughly 10 months to send someone out (they said there wasn't a technician in our area). Finally after calling and calling, they sent someone out.

    The technician took pics and said our frame was loose and that wasn't covered. You can clearly see the frame is broke and the wood from the frame is sticking out from the couch. Please do not use the company. They will not stand behind their warranties and will put you off and make you wait. They have not tried to make it right!!

    This warranty has been useless. Shortly after purchasing my furniture I noticed a tear, some discoloration and a few other repairable issues. I reached out to GBS and started a claim. Months later (8/2019) a company came out. I thought they were going to make the repairs but they just took some photos and left. Months after that I began calling to find out what the status of my repairs were. I've been calling ever since (at the time of this review it is 9/2020). No one can expedite my call past the initial customer service level. Everything I call I have to listen to the same song and dance about them needing to order the parts and none of the reps think it's odd that each of them are saying the same thing but it still hasn't been completed yet.

    I just want a resolution. I want someone to acknowledge that this is unacceptable and terrible customer service. I want to speak to someone other than a call center 1st level customer service rep who can't seem to get me a real resolution. I want to call and know that I've spoken with someone who can deliver results. I've heard the same song and dance for way too long. I'll never buy another furniture warranty and am strongly considering learning how to initiate a class action law suit because this seems very procedurally rooted and most certainly I'm not the only victim of this company.

I filed a claim through GBSEnt.com and received a reply that said the hardware damage was not covered under the warranty we purchased through Ashley Furniture in July 2018. Issues such as this should be covered under warranty given that it is not a piece of furniture that receives a lot of daily use (ie sitting on a couch or food/drink on a table) and the chest of drawers should be able to handle more than 2 years of being opened once a day; the drawer is unusable with this issue. Having to pay for someone else to repair this is unacceptable given that we paid a lot of money for this warranty when the furniture was purchased.

They gave me a phone number to call, which was the warranty company, and I asked for the people to come out and look at the chair.

    GBS Warranty had somebody out here quickly and they were very friendly and professional. I've got a lot of stuff going on, so my communications with them was quick.

If they're coming out, why can't they just clean the entire couch? I was under the assumption that protection was to clean my couch, so they could come out and clean my entire couch. That's what I thought I got. The guy that sold me at the furniture store told me that and then when I called, it's something different, so I'm really upset. The guys from GBS were okay, but it was nothing special that they did. I thought that they would come in with a steamer machine or something, and all it is is some type of brush with a cleaning solution. I could've done that.

    Original Review: July 11, 2020

    Complaint Description: GBS is a fraudulent company that does not adhere to their warranty they provide in order to steal money and harm consumers. I bought a kitchen table 2 years ago from Ashley Furniture Homestore and I bought an extended warranty to make sure I was covered! The warranty is from GBS Enterprises LLC, but they won't stand behind it. I had significant water damage to my table (which is covered), but they denied my claim. The reasoning was because there were two small scratches where the paint had rubbed off the table. These scratches are also covered. They told me that since I did not file a claim on the scratches, which are not visible unless you are studying the table with a magnifying glass, they will not cover the water damage.

    I called their call center in Florida and spoke with Roger **, the manager, It almost seemed as he took pleasure in explaining how I would not be covered because of some technicality of his interpretation of the warranty. The warranty specifies damages won't be covered if they are deemed an accumulation and not specified to one event. This clearly means wear and tear over time, but they have manipulated the wording so that as soon as you get the warranty they can just deny your claim and keep your money. I never asked for the two small scratches to be fixed as they are so small you can't see them. But they used this as an excuse to deny the claim and keep your hard earned money. They sent a technician to my house who told me this was going to be covered and it was as clear as day and night. They still denied my claim.

    When I spoke with the manager Roger he said the frame would still be covered but not the table itself. So the frame got damaged and a piece was chipped. Again clearly covered under the warranty. Even after the manager said it would be covered they lied and denied the claim. I am disappointed that Ashley Furniture Homestores would work with such a horrible company like GBS Enterprises that clearly has no intention of delivering on any of their promises and what their contract states. Both of these claims have been filed in the last month. The warranty was purchased from Ashley Home Furniture Store and they told me no matter what happens I'll be covered. Again another lie.

I thought that they were gonna clean the whole thing, but they told me it was just spot cleaning, so I still gotta get it cleaned later. Still, when the guy came out, he cleaned where the spot was and he did a good job.

    We bought our indoor couch from the Ashley Homestore in November and they offered a five-year warranty as a bundle on top of our couch purchase. When we had a stain on the couch from our dog, I called the number that I got with the warranty and they asked a few questions. They then said that it sounded like it was covered and they would send someone out to clean it. A few days later (early the next week), someone came out from a company and cleaned the couch, and then the stain came out, so we were happy with it.

    The problem that we're having with the kitchen table is not ever gonna go away and my frustration is more with the people I’ve talked to at the store, and not with the warranty. Every time they say they'll send somebody out, it takes a month for someone to show up and they do a touch up. This doesn’t feel like they're fixing it, but when I talk to the store, that's just always the answer. It has been a long process in trying to take care of this table and it's frustrating. A second tech that has come out to work on the table said that the issue happens from water. I asked if he was telling me that I couldn't put a cup on a kitchen table and he told me to use a coaster. I then told him that it was unrealistic. When you buy a kitchen table, you expect it to be able to handle breakfast, lunch and dinner.

    I feel like I just got a funky one, but I'm just going through the motions. Another thing is that with the touch-up markers, it’s like the whole thing has been retouched up and he put a finish over it. Besides that, I haven’t paid attention to it and I don’t think I’ve seen much since, so we’ll see. He got it cleaned up for now and then he called in to talk to somebody at Ashley. They then transferred him over to GBS, and he said they were gonna make a claim and then get ahold of me again. That was before the 4th of July, and I've never been contacted since then. Still, the guy was great. He was really helpful too.

    We purchased top grain Italian Leather Couch & Loveseat (Damacio brand) from Ashley Scottsdale-Arizona store and got a 5 year extended protection plan. We noticed few heat marks and dye transfer at few places on the Sofa within 22 months of the purchase, for which we filed a claim to GBS. We submitted all the photos as requested and they did approved the claim for a full replacement.

    Within few weeks, we also noticed similar issues on the Loveseat and reported it to GBS & submitted all pictures for that too. After few follow up on the phone, GBS approved the 2nd claim too for full replacement and asked us to wait for an email confirmation. We waited and when we didn't received anything for days we called them and they simply told us that they have rejected both the claims, even after the 1st claim was already approved by them on a written email confirmation and 2nd was verbally approved.

    I asked them to send a email with a reason of denial, for which they verbally denied and just told that both the claims are rejected. This is highly unethical from GBS as they denied something which they have already approved earlier. They kept the customer in dark & gave false hope that they would replace the Sofa which they later denied. They didn't kept their words. There is no use of taking the warranty plan, we don't recommend it. We are highly disappointed.

    Bought the warranty in 2018 because the salesman at Ashley Furniture told us about how great GBS is... Well he must not have their insurance because they will come up with every excuse in the book to not cover. My latest denied claim was a burn mark from a pizza box, should be covered right because that’s what the book says? Well guess again. They had me send pictures for review (this is where they get you). If they see any scratch or mark you're denied! I had a pencil tip size mark on the table, because of that, I have to pay out of pocket to have this under warranty again. And if I go this route I also have to submit a receipt and more pictures.

    Before you submit picture be careful because they will zoom in on every single spot. Also if you have a spill on any furniture Do not touch it. They will deny if you do. I asked an associate Cassandra if I could speak to a manager about this and to have them circle the spot that she claims to be damaged she said this is something the supervisors do not do and she’s never seen them do. How am I supposed to fix it if I don’t know exactly what they are talking about so I know what all needs to be fixed? I don’t want to fix the pencil tip mark that I saw and have them tell me it was something else, seems like they want to send me on a Wild goose chase if you ask me. Total waste of time and money.

On both claims they denied the claims, and said that my coverage didn't include these types of damages, when their brochure clearly indicates that they do. The brochure that I was given when I agreed to pay the $299 for the coverage, specifically states that they repair rips in leather and cracks or separation of pieces of wood. This is not only their failure to make good on their promise, it also reflects poorly on Ashley Furniture Stores for offering this type of coverage, when GBS refuses to fix anything. Do not buy this coverage because they will always find a way to deny the claim.

    It’s a five-year coverage and if anything rips, if we spilled something or any time the couch was really dirty (especially with brand-new blue jeans that stain) and we needed it cleaned, they would come out and clean it for us.

    I purchased this warranty when I bought new furniture from Ashley Furniture. Couch is 3 yrs old. Has rip in top of arm cushion and in 1 seat cushion. Company says that rip in cushion is normal wear and tear because material folds at same place every time it is sat upon. The rip in the armrest they are telling me was caused by inferior construction and/or material. This furniture is a sectional with ottoman. There are 6 cushions that are sat upon,and 6 cushions that are on the back of sectional. All other cushions are totally fine (no rips or tears). Dis-proving the bad material or bad construction theory. Have already been thru BBB and their final response was they will not cover anything.

    So, to sum up, if you plan on sitting on or using your furniture warranty will be voided because material bends when its sat upon. If you point out that armrest is never sat upon, they will change their story and claim that it is faulty construction or faulty material. This decision by GBS has been made without anyone even coming out and looking at furniture. Contacted store where warranty was purchased and they told me the rips are a prime example of what should be covered by warranty. (Rips are in middle of panels, not on seams) which the pamphlet says is covered. GBS still will not cover. Do not purchase warranty from this company

A review of your photos of your Sectional Sofa was completed. The photos shows the leather areas of the seat casings has cracking and peeling of the material. Although your furniture is classified as leather, the model number 2010067 Ashley Furniture Alliston Durablend - Salsa Raf Sofa is a blended material which provides the appearance of leather. There are several variations manufacturers will use to complete this effect. Some that have trace amounts of genuine leather and others will have no leather products at all. Please see your tag for what materials were used. This material may appear different when it cracks and peels and will not all result in the same effect. On your furniture fissures have created from the creases/folds in the material. This caused by the material to separating from its back lining and eventually crack open and peel away. Bubbles can also create, thus separating the two layers and again causing the same type of damage.

    Your GBS Furniture Protection Plan excludes this type of damage, cracking and peeling of leather, resulting in the claim being non-warranted. Your GBS Furniture Projection Plan does not provide coverage for damages that are the result of the workmanship or craftsmanship of the materials used by the manufacturer.

I filed a claim in January 2020 and sent in several pictures showing that several pieces had the same stain.

The technician left the house since he couldn't complete the work order. He said that he would submit his photos to GBS and they will be in contact with me. 1 week after he left I had called GBS and followed up with the technician's review and they had said, "We haven't gotten any word from him and will contact you when we receive it."

    2 weeks later I call back since I haven't heard from them and they said, "We got the review from the technician and it looks like there are several different stains on the different pieces," so they couldn't do anything for my claims. I tried to discuss with Carlos on the phone from GBS claims department and he was saying there isn't anything they can do.

    Hi. Purchased this protection plan from Ashley furniture. At date of purchase the protection plan was advertised to be extremely flexible and valid for up to five years. After three years of owning the couch and coffee I called in my for my first claim. I was unable to find my paperwork so I did not call in right away. When I did finally call in they asked me how long ago the damages were done. I told them I could not say for sure but I had been looking for the paperwork for a while. The response was for me to send in pictures and a manager would reach out to me as soon as possible to expedite the repairs.

    Upon supplying the pictures I received another phone call letting me know pictures were received and a service rep will reach out to me soon. Instead I got a phone call from a manager saying that services are not covered because on a recorded line I told them that the damages were possibly done 30 days ago. I asked her politely why they have that policy since it is clearly not in favor of the customer. Her response was rude, and fully loaded with attitude. She told me that I signed a legal document and there is nothing she can do and I was making this matter "personal". She told me she didn't have much time to talk about this matter and she was the highest level manager I could talk to about the situation. All in all this is a scam don't buy it.

    We had an oil-based stain on our couch. We put in a claim and the contractor who came was very professional. He got the stain out of the cushion and used the tools that he had to do that with. But I was a little displeased with the chemical that he used on the couch. The solution had a very strong chemical smell and probably toxic. He sprayed the stuff, scrubbed it and had to spray it a few more times. It was a terrible smell. My husband asked him to get it out of the house and that it was gonna make all of us sick. So we had to move the couch into the garage overnight because it stank up my whole house. We also opened all the windows in the house for at least a couple of hours. Still, they did their job and they were quick and prompt. But if the solution they used is the one and only way to get the stain out of the couch, I would suggest that they move the piece outside of the house.

    Bought a couch less than 2 months ago. Fabric is fraying separating from the cushion. Rep on the phone was rude and said it was not covered because it was not a stain, burn, tear, rip or puncture. Of course they offered to send a tech out with me paying out of pocket expense. When I tried to reason with the rep she continued to get louder saying pay for a tech to come fix it. What a waste of money!! Never again!!

    Mr. Rivera, GBS appreciates your feedback. As you indicated in your review and with the photo you submitted, your seat casing is fraying. While your GBS Furniture Protection Plan covers for rips, tears, and punctures to the material that occur by single incidences, or accidents, during normal residential usage, it does not cover any fraying of the material. Although the damage is non-warranted, GBS understands your concerns regarding the damaged material being a blemish on your furniture item. We offer all of our consumers that have non-warranted damages or stains information for technicians within their area, this is done as an opportunity for our customers to have access to professionals for furniture repair that can service them at an out-of-pocket expense.

    I have a five-year plan for my sectional and my first claim was a spot on my ottoman. I called GBS, and they were very good and responsive. They followed-up too. The tech came out in the next couple of days and it was good enough for me. I wasn’t in a rush.

    When I called GBS Warranty Services to file a request, the woman who helped me was very nice. I didn't have my information from Jordan's and she called Jordan's for me. She was very quick and efficient. Somebody from GBS came within three or four days. I love my GBS warranty. It's so worth it.

    The guy who did the service was very nice, polite, and treated me well. He took care of the problem, but there is still a little smell. I thought he would clean the cushion not only for the outside but also from the inside, or maybe change for a new one. If GBS could clean more, it would be better.

    Mrs. Silva, thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you were pleased with our service and satisfied with the cleaning. We apologize that you are still experiencing a little odor. Although the protection plan does not cover odor, our technicians thrive to deep clean the stains while attempting to remain within the cleaning code of the fabric or leather. Thank you so much for being our customer, and we look forward to servicing you in the future should you need us.

    I did the five-year GBS protection plan. I called them since I wanted to know if my couch cushions could be replaced. They have been damaged by my one-year-old daughter. There were many stains. The rep from GBS was really helpful. It didn’t take a lot of time, so I appreciated that. A service technician was dispatched the same day. It was really fast. But the protection plan did not really meet my expectations. I pay almost $400 and they just cleaned it. The cushions look clean, but I thought they were going to get replaced because that was what they promised me. I'm always hesitant to get protection plans because of that reason, and they told me that they were going to replace everything and all these amazing things. They should be clear on what they cover.

    Mr. Rivera, the GBS Furniture Protection Plan is a 5 year service plan that covers for stains or damages that result from normal residential usage. These types of incidences are not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. As per the terms and conditions, if the qualifying furniture becomes stained or damaged, you are to file claim and a service technician will be assigned to correct covered stains or damages. If the technician is unable to remove the stain or repair the damage, then parts can be ordered. In your claim, the technician was able to remove the stain therefore satisfying the claim. We apologize if there was a misunderstanding of how your GBS Furniture Protection Plan works. In fact, your GBS Furniture Protection saves you money. Average technician visits can cost approximately $150 per visit. Your GBS Furniture Protection Plan covers the cost of the visit and parts, when needed, up to the 5 years. If you would like additional information about how your GBS Furniture Protection Plan works, please feel free to contact our Customer Care Team.

    I purchased a couch a little over a year ago and purchased the 5 year warranty plan with GBS. One of my cushions has developed a separation along a seam and they denied my claim. Save your money, the plan is a waste!
