    I have called service times trying to get two chairs repaired. I called over a week ago requesting a call from a supervisor. I was told I would receive a call back within 48 hours. I called today and was told I just put the request in on yesterday. This is not my first time putting an request in to get an item fixed. The follow up with the company isn't good. I will be sending a letter to the corporate office in hopes to get a better response.

    I purchased new dining room chairs, and all 6 cushions started cracking at the seams of the faux leather material. I reported this to GBS 7 times over the course of 2 months. Never has GBS proactively contacted me back about this issue. GBS is determining that this is not a manufacturer defect, when in fact it is. ALL 6 CHAIRS HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME PLACE. GBS customer service refused on a number of occasions to provide me with the contact information for management. I had a 3rd party look at the damage and determine that it is in fact wear and tear. Needless to say, any damage should be covered, as long as it wasn't from a pet (according to the Dump). Fix or replace the chair cushions.

    Response from GBS Warranty Services

    Mr. Pavalon, we value your review. You contacted us to report cracking and peeling on the leather of all 6 of your chairs. You advised us that you think that the damages were from normal wear and tear. The protection plan that you purchased prohibits us from further servicing this claim because it does not cover cracking and peeling of the leather. You can locate this information under the important exclusions of your protection plan.

    Additionally, GBS advised you to contact your store of purchase to inquire about receiving service under the one year manufacturing warranty. We apologize that we were unable to service this particular issue, but we look forward to servicing you in the future.

    They have found every possible loophole to avoid covering the furniture that we spent $400 to get a protection plan for. From penalizing us for trying to repair a rip in the furniture ourselves ("you didn't call us within 30 days of the initial damage so we won't cover it"), to not cleaning a spill ("we can't clean it or we will damage it"), to not doing anything more to address the spill ("we're not responsible for what's under the outside fabric"). Do not do business with this company or buy a protection plan from them. They'll just waste months of your time and never do a thing to help you out.

    Full Details: We bought a sectional couch and love seat from Ashley Furniture in December of 2017 and purchased a 5 year protection plan from GBS Enterprises for the furniture. Most of the pieces have been great, no problems. But one seat for some reason has been problematic. It tore pretty soon after we bought it, so my wife sewed it to try to repair it. That lasted for a little while, then it tore more. This continued for a while, but now it's so bad we can't repair it anymore. So we called this company to utilize our protection plan, and they refused to cover the tear because we didn't call them within 30 days of the "initial damage" so it's not their problem. That seems utterly ridiculous to me. We're being penalized for trying to take care of the problem ourselves rather than costing them money?!?

    That same seat also had a wine spill recently, so we said fine, at least clean the wine spill for us. They sent out a technician who cleaned some of the seat but refused to clean in the area that had the rip, stating he wasn't allowed to do that as he might damage the couch further. He said he took pictures and sent them to the company recommending replacement because he couldn't clean that spot and the couch, of course, had the damage plus the spill. He said the company would be in contact with us within a few weeks.

    We waited and waited and never heard back, so I just called today to get a status update. I was told that they wouldn't be doing anything because they only cover the outside fabric, not the underneath part (sorry, don't remember the exact term they used), so this isn't their problem. I of course pleaded my case, because the torn portions of the fabric do still have wine on them and the couch smells like wine because of all the wine the technician was unable/unwilling to clean when he came out. But they won't do anything.

    Mr. Corbett, GBS has reviewed your claim filed December 26, 2019. Initially you called and reported that there was a tear on the right side facing seat casing of your reclining power sofa. During the recorded call, you indicated that the over time a hole wore in the casing. In lieu of contact GBS to file a claim, you advised the agent that when the incident first occurred as much as a year ago, you did not want to go through the hassle of the having it repaired or replaced. Therefore, your wife attempted to sew the material on her own, without the direction of GBS or your retailer. You informed the agent that your wife had to do so (sew the hole) three or four times, now resulting in a fist size tear on your seat casing. The agent explained that per your GBS Furniture Protection Plan, all stains and damages must be reported within 30 days to GBS, thus the damages were non-warranted.

    After being advised that the damages were non-warranted, you indicated that there was a wine stain on the seat casing. A technician was assigned and attempted to remove the wine stain from the right side facing seat casing on 12/31/19. Per the technician's report, the stains were removed from your seat casing, but the technician noted that there was a large tear in the seat, not indicated on the work order, due the damages being non-warranted prior to the creation of the service request. You explained that the technician told you that due to the tear, no further stain removal could be completed, as this would result in further damage to the material.

    Per your GBS Furniture Protection Plan, stains or damages, outside of breakage of the frame and failure of motors, etc., are limited to the upholstered fabric, leather or vinyl. The material used to provide shape or fill, such as the foam core, is designed to be covered by the upholstered material and not for direct contact when in use. In order to proceed, the tear to the seat casing would need to be repaired or replaced by a professional because the non-warranted tear is impeding the stain removal for the approved claim. We apologize for any inconveniences you have experienced. If you would like additional information about a service technician in your area for out-of-pocket service for the non-warranted damages, we can provide you with a list of technician's that will be happy to assist you.

    We purchased our bedroom furniture and living room furniture from Ashley and added the warranty from GBS. Big mistake! We were told it covered anything but pet damage. The very first time I called for service I was refused. I called to ask why and was told my photos were blurry so I sent new ones. Refused again. This time they said it was accumulated damage and I should have called earlier even though some of the damage I noticed for the first time was while I was on the phone with them and moved an object on the nightstand.

    I contacted Ashley who refused to get involved. I again contacted GBS and was told again that they needed more pictures even though I had sent them in. I asked for a refund since I had not had any service and was told it would be prorated and would take about two months. They would not give me a dollar figure for the refund. That would be determined after I put in paperwork for a refund and would not be known until I received a check in the mail. No negotiation possible. So Ashley will not help and GBS will not honor the contract. I am out a total of $350 for absolutely nothing. Do not purchase a GBS warranty! When it comes time to use it they will have every excuse in the book not to honor it.

    I’ve had the hardest time getting my bed fixed after it was broken. I was sent in circles. GBS would say Ashley’s Furniture is responsible and they would say GBS is responsible. It took about a month and a half to get the piece for my bed after reporting the damages and since it took so long another part broke causing the entire bed to collapse from the previous one not being fixed in a timely manner. Now I have the first piece but I have to wait for the second piece to be delivered in the mail before I can get my bed fixed. The fact that every time I called I was asked to resend or re-explain information that should’ve been noted and added to the account during the previous encounter wasn’t helpful either. To even get this first piece I had to speak to Ashley Furniture corporate office and tell them to call GBS on my behalf to even get anything done. The fact that it couldn’t be handled between the company and myself is extremely problematic to me.

    Where do I begin with this company. I lost track of how many phone calls I’ve had to make for an appointment or for someone to simply answer the phone. The first appointment was a complete waste of time when a tech was sent to repair a broken recliner, but instead of attempting to make the repair, he only took photos. After a week goes by and no follow-up from Ashley or GBS, I spend another 40-minutes trying to speak to someone to inquire about the repair. I’m then told the photos the technician originally took were incomplete and didn’t include the necessary furniture serial numbers. I’m then advised to make another appointment for just photos and no repair. To avoid further delay, I offer to take the serial number photos myself and submit them via email.

    After another week goes by and again no follow-up call or email, I’m then stuck on the phone trying to confirm receipt of the pictures I submitted. As it turns out the photos were received, but now they need another photo of my actual recliner. This appears to be a common theme with this company by misinforming the consumer. I’m now waiting on a technician who was suppose to arrive by 3pm today and it’s now 4:06pm and still no word on his arrival. This company is very unprofessional and treats their customers like they have nothing better to do. I will never do business with Ashley Furniture (who sold me this crappy warranty in the first place).

    My wife has been contacting these people since January 4th and she has been getting the runaround. Today is the January 29th and I still havent gotten anywhere. Still today they finally told me that they dont call people back. They rely on the customer to call back. This is what I was told from Nathaniel so if they ever say they are going to call you it is a lie. I was told today to send them pictures of the recliner. The first lady I talked to was Tally. She told me to take a picture of the front the back and the front and my invoice and gave me an email and the email wouldnt go through.

    So I call back and this is when I get Nathaniel on the phone. He tells me they dont have an email by that so I get the claims email and he informs me that I have to find the serial number on it. So I call my wife at home and ask her to find it. She calls me back and tell me there is not one. So I tell Nathaniel that there isnt. He insisted that there was so he told me to call the place I bought it from. So I did and they told me it was in the same place so I decided well I'll look when I get home maybe she was just missing it. Well I'm home and looked at all the frame on the whole frame and there is no serial number under or on the chair. So if you ever are trying to get something done good luck. I hope you have a better experience than me. If I could still use the chair I wouldnt be as bothered but the frame is broken and I cant even use it. My claim# **. Invoice # **.

    I purchased a power reclining sofa from Haynes Furniture in June of 2018 and bought the 5-year extended warranty provided by GBS. In October of 2019, one side of the reclining sofa would not close all the way up and the other side made a groaning noise when reclined all the way. I put in for service, and they got a tech out within a couple of days. It all went downhill from there.

    I called them back on December 10, 2019 and was told they received the report from the tech on October 28, and ordered the parts on November 4. On January 21, 2020, I called as the parts had not yet arrived to check on the status. The agent told me the parts had not been ordered, and basically told me that was because I should have called them back sooner. I requested a call back from a supervisor, which I was told should happen in 24-48 hours. I called back and spoke to Ang'le on January 22, 2020. She apologized for the previous agent and told me the parts had been ordered. She indicated that she could not see where there was a supervisor call back requested, but would put one in for me, and should expect a call back in 24-72 hours.

    I called again on January 28, 202 and spoke to Antonio after waiting on hold for about 10 minutes. He indicated the parts had not been ordered, perhaps because the photo the technician took was blurry and the model and serial numbers were illegible. They may have transposed a digit of my phone number from a 9 to a 6 based on part of our conversation. He told me he would call me back the following day, which he did attempt to do, but I was unable to take the call at the time. I did call them back around 4:15 on January 29, 2020 and spoke to Michael, who indicated the parts had not yet been ordered because it was Chinese New Year, and the factory was not taking any calls. (A website I found indicated that Chinese New Year did start on January 25, and would not end until February 4.)

    I still hadn't received a call back from a supervisor. Michael did indicate that I could speak with an available supervisor, Kim, who was unable to offer any kind of compensation (I asked for a 3-month extension of my warranty based on this experience) and she said that could not be done. To sum it up, nothing seems to have happened on my claim for 3 months now, and I plan to call them quite frequently until something happens.

In September 2019, a small tear in the sofa and cushion were discovered. I immediately called GBS to put in a claim. When asked what the problem was that there were two tears in our loveseat. At first, I was told that my GBS insurance did not cover tears. When asked what did it cover I was told only the mechanical parts. At which time I informed the service rep that I have a copy of the insurance policy with me and it stated that it did cover punctures and rips. The rep then opened a claim for me and gave me instructions on what I need to do.

After two weeks with no response, About mid-October, I received an email from GBS Customer Care asking for met to call them. I contacted GBS and was told that the pictures I submitted were too dark and to resend them (the photo of the sofa was dark; however, the other photo clearly showed the tear).

I was told that he spoke with his manager and that the loveseat was not covered under the policy, because the tear was normal wear and tear. I gave up trying to get any assistance and thought I would go back to Ashley Furniture for help. I did not receive any help there either.

    We have done business with Ashley Furniture for many years. We always buy the protection plan that is offered. The few times we have filed a claim in the past were absolutely no problem. Now they use a company called GBS and they are a scam. We contacted the BBC about them not covering rips and tears in fabric furniture. They said the rips or tears are "thread separation" and they do NOT cover that. Their response to the BBB was a LIE! They stated that they were eager to resolve our problem.

    When we called them back to work toward a resolution, they said the claim was still denied and they had no intention of resolving our issue. They lied to us, the public who reads the reviews on the BBB and to the BBB. I also contacted ASHLEY FURNITURE about the company with whom they chose to do business and did not receive a response.

So, I called and GBS said it could take up to three business days for them to call me back. They called me back the next day saying that the tech is coming out this next day. I was like, “Oh, perfect. Before Thanksgiving.” The tech was great and he came out extremely quickly. He talked to my husband and they had conversations. He was in and out in less than 30 minutes, so it was all great. You can't even smell the yogurt.

    I made a claim via their website for a stain on my furniture, which is covered by the Warranty. I didn't hear anything back from them, so I called a week later because we, unfortunately, got another stain. The person I talked to was able to merge the two claims into one, claimed they had sent the info to the technicians, and I would hear back within 2-5 business days from the technician. Cool.

    2-5 business days pass. Nothing. I call back. They tell me to wait another 2-5 business days. Nothing. I call back. They tell me the technicians "have my information" and will call again in, you guessed it, "2-5 business days." They also gave me the phone number of the technicians, so I could call directly if I did not hear from them. I wait. Nothing. I call the technicians. They have absolutely no record of my claim. I have to call GBS again (for the 5th time?) and they claim "due to a system glitch" that my email did not go through to the technician. Cool! So now, by the time I will be able to see a technician, I will have waited over 6 weeks from making my original claim. They are not worth your money for the service they provide. I already feel that this was a huge waste of money and time and would not recommend them to anyone.

Once you contacted us, we were able to confirm that there was a backlog with the first company and assigned a second company who (after we called today) confirmed that you are scheduled for a visit on the 27th.

After the first part being shipped damaged. We finally received our new part on 11/13/19. I called and told GBS that the part had arrived. They told us that they would set up technician for an appointment to make the necessary repairs and that the technician would contact me within 48 hours. It has been more than 5 days and no one has contacted me. I don’t know any other way to express my disappointment with the services they provide.

    When you ask to speak to a supervisor they say someone will contact you with in 24 hours. That never happens. But when you submit a complaint through BBB or Consumer Affairs they respond the same day it gets approved and posted.

When he arrived (in no uniform and a beat up personal vehicle) he told me that the part had a tear in it and he could not install it. The technician submitted his report with pictures that same day. I have asked to speak with a supervisor numerous times with no call backs. I have to call and tell my story every time.

    I’ve contacted Ashley Furniture and they say they cannot do anything for me. I spoke to someone with GBS on Monday 11/4/19 and was told they would have to order another replacement part. But it would take a few weeks to get it. I’m very disappointed with GBS. I explained to the woman that at this point wit would be more cost effective for them to just replace my chaise lounge. She proceeded to tell me that I don’t set pricing and was very rude. WORST WARRANTY COMPANY EVER!!! I want a my furniture replaced and not have to wait 3 months for a repair.

    We noticed that the middle portion of our couch was kind of sinking and when we checked it out, we realized that the wooden frame had cracked. The middle part was the only part affected because the other frames on either end of the couch were all metal. So, we called GBS and scheduled. The reps came and picked up the middle portion of the couch, brought it back to the warehouse and put in a new frame.

    The only issue that we had was getting it back, which was a little frustrating. They were supposed to deliver it one day and then they said that they weren’t gonna be able to and they didn’t call back almost immediately to schedule a new time to come and drop it off. We had to call a couple of days later and we were going to just pick it up at the warehouse but they were able to bring it back and deliver it to us.

We've had the furniture for quite some time now and we didn’t know that there is a separate circuit breaker. At some point, it had flipped, and that’s why the chair wasn’t working. The guy told us that most people also don’t know about that because it’s in the couch itself, and not on the power box.

    After my husband and I had a lengthy conversation with GBS, they did finally decide to replace the cushions, not because it’s under warranty, but because of the giant run around they gave us from the get go and just for good business practices overall. I am now content. That is all we ever wanted in the first place. Would I get another warranty with them again? No, because it doesn’t cover as much as I’d like and before getting a warranty with them just be sure and do your research before signing up. I moved my stars up from 1 to 4 now because I feel that they did the right thing and made things right.

    Original Review: Oct. 24, 2019

    I recently bought a sectional and, shortly after buying it, my cat decided to pee on it while we were out of town. I purposely asked the furniture store, before buying the warranty, if they covered pet stains and the employee ensured me that they did so I went ahead and purchased it because I know that sometimes my cat can be a jerk. Anyway, after I found out that he peed on the couch, I gave GBS a call to come out here and solve the issue.

    A guy finally came out (after weeks of me calling and calling). Then he tells me that he can’t get the stain out and that he would just order me new cushions. I called GBS the next week and they told me that someone would get back to me in 72 hours. Well, no one ever did, and this happened literally week after week. I would call, they would tell me that someone would get back to me, and they never did.

    Finally today I spoke to someone who told me that they don’t cover the actual cushion itself, only the cushion cover!! What?! The urine is soaked into the cushion itself, like a sponge! I wouldn’t have been this ENRAGED if they told me this from the get go!! The telephone operator told me that I’m going to have to go back to the furniture store to buy new cushions. I’ve literally had hardly any place to sit on my couch, for over a month (because there was urine on 4 cushions)!! I am normally not the type to get this upset, but this is INSANE! I’m finally getting my husband to call today to speak to a manager. Hopefully something good can come out of this! DON’T get a warranty through GBS!!!

    After calling about deep scratches a week or two before I made my claim I was hopeful. Why? Because, two years before I made the decision to purchase a living room couch set, I was assured that if I buy the expensive GBS warranty I WILL be covered for any future damages no matter when or how it happens. As long as it's in the five years after buying this so called "protection plan". Ok, so, after reading other negative reviews of GBS it became really clear that this "protection" company will make up any excuse or interpretate their policy to anyone in a way that sees them fit to not honor their so called protection. To sum it up, I was denied or, what they like to say, that I'm not warranted.

    Why wasn't I warranted? Well, the first lady said that the claims adjuster denied me because the scratches are not completely torn through the seat covers. How did they know? Well, because I sent them photos of my couch. And, I taken those photos at angles that they wanted to see the couches in. Then, the CSI detective at GBS used some tool to analyze the pictures I sent to them. This tool made the pictures seem as if that GBS forensic officer was actually in my house physically inspecting the damage on my couches and determined that these scratches was not torn through. Therefore, my couches were not warranted. Technology, it's so great! Of, course I asked to speak to a manager. One wasn't available???? So I was told that I would get a call.

    Got a call three or four days later from a lead. Guess what? She used the same script as the last lady. Only this time she said at first that scratches are not covered. Then, later in the phone call, I wasn't warranted to something called accumulation. Accumulation. That word gets thrown around a lot on this website. Am I right? Of course I am. Anyhow, she continued to tell me that THEY determined, yet again, that by looking at the pictures that the damages were caused over time. Wow, these people must be living with me without my knowledge. All the while looking at my couches watching these damages occur since the day they were delivered to me. I disagreed. I mean I'm not the only one that finds this ridiculous.

    So, once she figured that the excuse given wasn't working she then said that it wasn't a single incident. Basically, if I had one, just one, scratch. Maybe, they would cover it. However, it's really clear that I have more than one scratch. They call it me having multiple incidents. They don't warrant anything that has more than one incident. Which tells me that any future claim I make on my couches from here on out I will be denied. Because they would take my first claim into consideration and add it to the new claim this, being multiple incidents. As you probably guessed. Nope, didn't agree. I asked to speak with her manager.

    Couple days later. I was at my place of employment that stands behind their core values and integrity where I got a call. I couldn't take it. But, she (Karen) left a message. With the same scripted reply from the other monotoned GBS employees that clearly hate their dishonest job. That I am not warranted. For the reasons I stated above. GBS has a motto. "Relax, you're covered". Or, something like that. Their website tells their potential clients that they stand by their core values, their commitment to serve, and integrity. I feel, like so many others on here, that they are not honorable.

    I regretted ever having GBS protecting my furniture that I'm paying my hard earned money for. They encourage furniture store employees to lie to their customers in order to gain their business. Does it bother the salesman? No, he's in it for the profit. GBS needs to be held accountable for the bad business they practice.

    Mr. Ortiz, GBS would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences you experienced while filing your claim. We have taken an opportunity to review your claims for the damages to your sofa, loveseat, living chair, and ottoman. You reported scratches to the leather on several different areas ranging from the seat casings and arms. Photos were requested of the damages.

    Upon review of the damaged pieces of furniture submitted by you, there were several scratches noted all over each furniture item. You were informed that the damages were non-warranted due to an accumulation of damages that could not be attributed to a single incident and for the scratches that do not penetrate the leather. The scratches seen in your photos are multi-directional and several of the scratches are grouped in lines of three and four adjacent scratches. where some even are overlapping new and older scratches that have accumulated over time.

    We appreciate your feedback regarding your interaction with our staff and look for ways to improve our customer service experience. We have provided the necessary feedback to the agents involved. Again we extend our sincerest apologies regarding your experience. In regard to the reported damages for claim 344484 and 344108, the damages you reported are non-warranted under your terms and conditions and are not eligible for repair or replacement. Please be advised, we can provide you with information for a technician within your area for service at an out-of-pocket expense.

    GBS is a joke. I have 4 dogs that urinated on my area rugs. I called in to report the stains. I specifically told them to make sure they send out a true carpet cleaning company as they are large area rugs. They sent a furniture cleaning company that walked in with a Little green Machine made by Bissell that is a handheld machine for extremely small spot removal.. You can buy this machine at your local Lowe’s or Home Depot. The tech was at my home for less than 2 min. He didn’t even bend down near the carpets, he stated he doesn’t clean carpets and snapped a few pictures of my rolled up area rugs and left.

    I called GBS as soon as the Tech left to request another company come out ASAP to get these carpets cleaned. Their response was “We have to wait for the Technician's report before we can schedule another company, it could take anywhere from 72 hrs to 3 weeks depending on the technician”. Are you kidding me, worst customer service ever! I wait till the following Monday (5 days later) and call again. Note.. I’m on the phone for 46 minutes this time with a rep that keeps putting me on hold to converse with others regarding my claim.

    At the end of the call, she states "I’m sorry, but the tech's pictures show multiple stains which means it’s a build up of stains and you didn’t call in with each stain so we can’t help you”. Ummm, I did call in and stated there were multiple stains to report, I have 4 dogs. Once 1 pees, they all pee to make their mark. It took you 2 weeks to even get a tech out to my house to clean the carpets, and you send a tech that doesn’t even clean carpets. So you can imagine what the stains look like after 2 weeks of sitting on the carpet, of course it looks like there's a build up, because the stains have now been on the carpets for 2 weeks!!

    I’m sorry, but no one can look at a rug with urine stains and tell me that one stain happened 5 days ago, one stain happened 3 days ago and the rest are from a year ago! That is complete boloney! I called in multiple stains on the same day as I found them, and GBS couldn’t get a tech out for 2 wks. GBS is a joke and does NOT stand by their warranty. At the end of my call I demanded to talk to a manager and The Rep states "All Managers in the escalation Dept are on calls, someone will get back to you in 24-48 hrs”.

    She stated, "I can give you some numbers to local carpet cleaning companies in your area that you could call, as you will have to take care of this damage yourself, it’s not covered because it’s built up." I’m seriously fuming. I wish I could upload a picture on this review, because the only stains showing are the ones on the padding. The carpet has multiple colors and you can’t see the stains, you can definitely smell them though! Don’t be fooled into buying a warranty from this company! It’s a farce!!

    Purchased a sofa and loveseat from Ashley Furiture along with their warranty. After about a year the leather started cracking and peeling off the furniture. I filed a claim and was told “cracking and peeling” was not covered and not a defect. A few years later we had a incident where a child got mad and thought it would be funny to poke holes on one side of our sofa (not even our child). I filed a claim for the holes and rips and was told that it wasn’t covered because in the pictures I sent the material shows “stress wear” where rips could occur and mentioned the claim I had previously filed. I explained that wasn’t the reason why I filed the claim...

    I understood that yes we’ve have the furniture for several years and it has some wear on it but I filed the claim because of the incident that happened to it. The rep very quickly told me that he could not have the claim reviewed again because once a decision was made it was final. I continued to tell him I wanted it reviewed for the CORRECT REASON in which he finally said he would “expedite” and someone should be contacting me within 48-72 hrs. I have a feeling that I won’t be contacted and I will be the one contacting them. So far this warranty sounds to me like a scam and a waste of money!!!!

    I bought a new sectional couch on 7/12. With two toddlers in the house, it didn't take long to get food/drink stains on one of the cushions (7/20). I reported the incident that day via their online form. I followed-up via email the next day. Both were non-responsive. So I called 3-5 business days later and it was explained to me that I shouldn't use the online form due to its unreliability. Don't get me wrong, all of the customer representatives were extremely nice and a pleasure to work with. But after 10 phone calls, 3 online chats, and over 30 days later, there has still been no action taken to send a cleaning technician.

    Now I'm being told today that the item they would rather replace is no longer made by the manufacturer. This is upsetting because I could have cleaned the stain myself and not wasted so much time on the phone chasing people down. And in the long term, I paid for a warranty that cannot do what it promises: "In the event that we're not able to clean or repair your furniture, you will receive a replacement. It is that simple!" No part of this process has been simple, my problem is still unresolved, and I paid for this inconvenience. Very disappointing.

    GBS warrantied me against stains and spots on my indoor furniture and if there was any mechanical problems with the furniture, I can call. I've had a issue with one of the recliners as well as removing the stains and spots after three years. I have a five-year plan with them, so I put a call into them. Their representative was very informative and she gave me some additional information about a couple of pieces of furniture they had me listed for, which I did not purchase. There was a miscommunication about the items that I purchased, so I had to dig back three years. I pulled out my original invoice and faxed it to them because what she said that was on the computer that I needed to be cleaned is not what I have in my house. She said once she received the information, she would update the account. She was very nice about it, but it was just a little obstacle of making the call run smoothly.

    Other than that, they called the next day and told me that the tech would be there the day after that. So, it was very prompt even though they said it would take five to seven days. The tech also did a good job at what he did, but he's not done. And this has been going on for two weeks. I was getting ready to put a call into GBS to find out what's gonna happen next. I don’t wanna be pushy or rushing, but I feel like he needs to complete it. He said that my one piece of furniture is mechanically broken and he needs to order the part to fix it. And within 7 to 10 days, the part should be arriving to my house. But it's past 10 days now. He also said that when it gets here, it was gonna be a very large box. But I'm home every day and no box has arrived. When it gets here, I'm to call the number and they will either send him or another service technician out to repair the furniture.

    So, as far as I'm concerned, the job is not completed and no one has called me back yet. But I'm gonna give it another day or two and I'm gonna put a call in because then I can honestly say it's been three weeks. If he said it needs a fix and I'm under warranty, they gotta come fix it and overall, I'm a little dissatisfied with my experience.

    I wish I had read other reviews before purchasing the warranty from Ashley Furniture. What happened to me is EXACTLY what happened to so many others. I had one large spill from a glass of hot tea and it was not covered due to "accumulation" of stains. Never mind the fact that it took them over a month to send someone out to come look at our couch. The vendor they sent out flat out told me that he was recommending they send a new seat cover due to the size of the stain. The GBS rep had the audacity to tell me that "the vendor stated it was accumulation" - which is a flat out lie.

    Now they tell me I have to give them a receipt from a professional cleaning before they'll cover anything again. But I'm confident they'll find some way to still weasel out of covering anything else. I mean in the fine print it says if someone else treats the furniture in a "not approved way" that it isn't covered - so I'm sure they'll just claim that Stanley Steemer screwed up. I honestly feel bad for anyone who works in customer service at this company as I'm sure they are all aware the policies this company have to effectively never cover anything are unethical at best.

    Ms. Mavrak, thank you for the review. You called to report stains to your chaise, wedge and loveseat. We immediately assigned a technician to assess and remove these stains. You stated that, during the visit, the vendor/technician said that they recommend a new seat cover be sent. After the visit, GBS is the only party that can make decisions when it comes to the course of action that needs to be taken based on the terms and conditions of your protection plan. After reviewing the photos, there are damages to the seat casings, cores, inside back cushions, and outside arm of the furniture. Based on your protection plan, that is an accumulation of stains and damages over time and not consistent with a single incident.

    Your previous claim was deemed non-warranted for reporting time frame. If you would like to file a future claim, those damages would have had to have been addressed as an out of pocket expense in order to bring the affected pieces back to factory standard.

    Your protection plan covers most damages and stains not mentioned in the exclusions. Those damages need to be reported within 30 days of notice and warranted in order to be repaired.

    The warranty they offer is a joke. When I was sold the warranty, I should have realized what they offered was too good to be true as she implied any possible accidental damage would be covered. I have had this furniture for 2 years and the very first time I called, it was immediately evident they were going to find any reason they could to deny ANY claim. In addition, this was the first time I heard the rule about reporting damage within 30 days, then she proceeded to question me about stains, which was NOT why I was calling. I asked her, why does it matter about stains? I'm not calling for that! Now that I see other reviews, I understand that this is yet another tactic to deny any claim. Completely worthless. Will never purchase any kind of warranty from this company again.

    After being on the phone for almost 30 minutes and thoroughly interrogated, she provided a claim number and then proceeded to tell me my claim would not be covered as the plan only covers stains, burns, punctures, etc., NOT frame damage. Then why did you waste my time??? What is the point of a claim number that will not be covered?? Oh yeah, because then if I try to file a claim that might be covered they could deny unless I provide "sufficient" proof that previous damage that was not covered was fixed. What a joke.

The repair guy called me back within 24 hours and then scheduled a visit within 24 hours from that. When he came, he did a great job. He took care of all the spots that I showed him.

Several months later, another chair leg broke. In March 2019 I contacted the company that I purchased from and because it was over the 1 year from date of purchase they directed me to GBS directly.

    I contacted GBS in March 2019 and provided all of the information requested, along with photos. The woman said that I'd be contacted about the options that I had and if they had another chair for replacement. I contacted them in April 2019 and was told that it was being worked on. I contacted them in May 2019 and again was told that it was being worked on but it didn't look like they had a replacement.

    In July 2019 (kids baseball season was consuming life) I called again and was told that the issue was never pushed to the next level. The woman that I spoke to was wonderful and said that I'd be contacted within 2 days. I was contacted this time and offered a few options because a replacement chair was not available. They did offer a credit to replace all 6 chairs but I don't believe that it was at the full price that I paid ($930 they offered). I went to the store and that amount would in no way cover the cost of 6 new upholstered chairs. I did not want basic wooden chairs so I kept the 5 remaining chairs and took the 1/2 credit.

    We purchased a GBS plan for a couch, a love seat and a dining room set. We called for service due to stains on the fabric and the process went fine. However, I think the ultimate service provided was less than what was expected. The crew showed up with a spray bottle and a rag, which to me just did not feel like it was sufficient of what we paid for the warranty. I would have expected a steam cleaner or something that was a little bit more thorough. They showed us the product they were using and gave us the specifics so we could even purchase that on the side so we can use it in the meantime. But it was disappointing that it was such a minimal approach to the issue. And though most of the stain is gone, it may have gone a little bit worse on one of our dining room chairs. As they were scrubbing with a rag, it spread the stain to be a much wider outline now, whereas, it was much smaller.

    I bought a warranty protection plan from GBS for the couch, loveseat and ottoman. I called for a service request and the customer service rep was nice. A technician was dispatched in less than a week. He said that they could only clean what I specifically put on the request, which was okay but he cleaned some extra stuff anyway, which was cool. However, as a warranty, it needs to be all cleaned. I shouldn’t have to be specific about it.

    I purchased a reclining loveseat for $1000 from Ashley Furniture and it was junk. I purchased the GBS 5 year protection plan which even covered power, which this recliner didn't even have. The reclining back blew out after probably 2 years. It was halfheartedly stapled in three places. GBS told me this wasn't covered. I was able to repair it myself luckily. Last week I noticed a 1" tear in it so I filed another claim with GBS and sent pictures. I also noticed a seam in the foot rest was separating so I added that. The vinyl in the seating area was also a little worn in one area so I added that too. GBS denied my claim because there was problems in multiple places and you have to report any defects within like 30 days. I said if you will just fix the rip I'll be happy and they refused. It wasn't worth the paper it was written on.

    I have issues with the policy for my two year old leather love seat. There is a rip between the fabric and the leather on one of the seat cushions. That caused rips in the leather along the seam.

    We went to Ashley Furniture and we got the warranty with GBS since that was all that they had. The furniture we got is a light green color and we figured it was gonna be easy to clean when we bought it. Recently, we contacted them to have it cleaned then a guy came out. He was a nice guy and he cleaned it the best he could. But he just used the Bissell that you can get at the store for 50 bucks and once he cleaned it, he took a picture while it was still kinda wet. I liked him a lot but after he left, the next day when we looked at it, I wouldn't say it was really clean. But it isn't all bad and it's not like the house is gonna fall down if it's not clean.

    Other than that, when we called them to have the furniture cleaned, their rep was very particular about what areas we wanted to clean exactly. But I couldn't just say the back of the couch or the right armrest and below. She was directing it to specific points and that's hard to articulate unless you know the bits and pieces. But I'm not a furniture salesman. If I tell you everything on the right side or below the armrest, to me, that's just an area. So, when the guy gets there, he couldn't clean what I was trying to tell the lady to clean because it wasn't listed on his invoice. But it's a loveseat and it was sitting there. It would take him a few minutes but he couldn't do it because it wasn't on the work order.

I called them and they had a technician come out and assess the damage to the table. It was a gouge and a scratch that penetrates the wood. He did find some minor scratches on the surface but according to the contract only items that perpetrate the finish will be fixed. Of course I have been working with them multiple times and get the standard stock answer - no they will not fix it. The contract sounds great when you purchase it... Keep your receipt and call within 30 days and they will fix or replace your damaged item. Well when you think something is too good to be true it is.

    Ms. Riley GBS has taken the opportunity to review your recent claim for the dining table. Originally you reported damages to the dining table top. A technician was assigned and provided his assessment of the dining table. Per the report and photos. There are multiple scratches, gouges and chipping all over the top and edges of the table. His report indicated that this damage was accumulative and therefore not a result of single incident. Any damages or stains that have accumulated over time are non-warranted as it is the customer's sole responsibility to provide routine care and maintenance of their furniture. GBS would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences you have experienced. The damages are non-warranted and not eligible for further action to be taken to repair or replace the damaged table under your recent claim.

I was like this is ridiculous and I’m calling regarding the table and she said that, "After every single scratch you should have told us within 30 days. Now it’s accumulated and we will not fix it".

    If I had simply googled the company GBS Enterprises prior to the purchase of the extended warranty I would have second guessed the decision. After several parts of the frame of my couch broke I called GBS to file a claim. GBS was provided with all of the requested information. Within a week a technician came out to view the problem and stated that it could be repaired and was covered. He stated that I should expect to hear from them soon and parts would be delivered to my home. This was the end of March. At the end of June I called GBS to inquire about the claim only to be told that it would not be covered because the frame damage was metal, and that my warranty only covered wood frame damage. I discussed with GBS about how there was indeed wood and metal that damage.

    At this point, they stated that they could not cover this because it was a manufacturing problem and that I should have filed with the manufacturer in the first place. After insisting to speak to a supervisor, I asked to be referred to where in the terms and conditions the frame coverage was specified wood only coverage. After being put on "hold" I overheard the supervisor discussing my request with another employee and was mocked and told that "She's out of luck". The supervisor came back on the line and stated that the metal that was broken is actually classified as "decking" (Three prior associates of GBS had NEVER mentioned this) and that decking is not considered part of the frame and would not be covered. Again, not stated in the terms and conditions.

    If you have made it this far reading this review, just know, literally every platform that you are able to read reviews about this company like the BBB, Yelp, Google, Consumer Affairs, all have TERRIBLE reviews that ALL say the same thing. GBS Enterprises will go out of their way to avoid providing the service that customers are paying for. They quote false things from the terms and conditions document and when asked to show the consumer where the information is located, they will continue to twist your claim and words in such a way that they refuse to help. They have core values that the employees do not reflect and absolutely refuse to make this situation right. Just look at the reviews closely and know that they speak for themselves.

    At first, I thought it would be something like a week before anybody could come. I thought, “Oh, god.” I depend on this recliner. In fact, I sleep quite a few nights on it because I have problems with my legs sometimes. I really need it. But the people called me from the store and said they would be up that day.

    I had a spot on the couch and the person that came out couldn’t understand why we had to call. He said that I needed to go back to Ashley Furniture where I purchased it and they have in-house technicians that would take care of it. Normally, he doesn’t get a call until something is out of warranty. He didn’t really wanna be there and he had an attitude.

    He did not know what he was doing and said that the stain must have a grease base to it. He went out to his car, came back, and proceeded to start spraying all over again. He got the whole cushion so wet. He said that it's gonna take 24 hours to dry. Then he stood it up and the other cushions around the couch and he just left in the middle of the floor and left. I've got a leather recliner that sat next to the couch and I ended up having to wipe that down also. After he left, he did not remove the spot completely. When my wife got home, she had to mop the whole floor where he’d been working. He was a total jerk because I was sent a picture of the man when he’d be there.

    I called Ashley and explained everything to the young lady I spoke with. She said that she can have an in-house technician out on Friday and this was on a Tuesday. That man put booties on over his shoes, he came in and took care of the cut that was in it from the delivery company unwrapping it, cut it with a box cutter. Then he spent 10 minutes on that stain. He spread like a movie blanket around that and kneeled down on it. When the man left, I couldn’t even tell he’d been there other everything was 100%, whereas the person that GBS sent was a total fiasco. Nothing was accomplished at all, being totally honest. I feel like it was a waste of money. In the future, if I have to use GBS service, I will request that they do not send him and send somebody that cares.

And when we did, we gave the same information that was on our online claim. So, we concluded that they didn't see the initial claim we submitted on their end or maybe it wasn't processed in time. But they came and took care of the problem. They cleaned up the stain perfectly and it was pretty quick. They also gave us instructions on what to do afterwards.

    I purchased a 5 year warranty for my wooden table. I called to file a claim. There were 3 different marks on the table top. Marks covered under the warranty. They had me send photos and then denied the claim using the vague reason of “accumulation”... because all the marks are on the table top. She said if the marks were on different parts of the table, like on different legs and the top, then it would be covered under warranty... which makes absolutely no sense. This “accumulation” is not explained or outlined in any of the warranty paperwork. It’s clearly something they use to arbitrarily deny claims. I am extremely disappointed in the horrible business practices of this company. Shame on them for scamming customers by making up ridiculous vague reasons to deny claims.

    Ms. Carter, your review is appreciated, and we want to apologize for any inconvenience that you might have experienced during your interaction with us. We filed a claim for the nail polish, food oil, scratches, some marker and chipping along the tabletop based on the information that was provided. After looking at the photos received, the damages depict an accumulation of numerous types spread out across the tabletop. Your protection plan covers for an abundance of damages of which accumulation is excluded. The protection plan describes accumulation as “…damage that cannot be attributed to a single occurrence" and reported within 30 days of notice.

    We would be more than happy to provide you with some out of pocket options to repair the damages on the tabletop should that be something you choose to pursue it. for any additional questions or clarification regarding your protection plan, feel free to contact us during normal business hours.

    Contract breach by warranty claim denial under the warranty terms agreement. Purchased their 5 Year Protection Plan, at Ashley for $4,200.00 coverage. Recently wanted to file a claim for one of the end tables that were purchased. After I noticed finished veneer top surface cracking, bubbling and peeling and lifting off, so called and explained. However they bluntly denied the claim right away, saying, "the wood frame is not covered" without even bothering to ask for the details or pictures. I clearly had top finish/veneer damage, for which the warranty terms clearly stated under "covered" damage - "Checking, Cracking, Bubbling and Peeling of the Finish or Lifting of Veneers". Even after speaking to supervisor didn't help. They just try to evade/dodge claims at any cost.

    Mr. Abdukhalikov, We were able to review the details of your claim and apologize for any inconvenience that you experienced in the process of filing your claim with us. During the initial call, your verbal description of the damages was "swelling, bulging, and cracking of the wood” which are non-warranted under your protect plan. But after further investigating, and review of the photos, the crack only affects the bubbling portion of the veneer and not the wood underneath. Being that racking and bubbling is covered, a full replacement order has been sent to the store in order to resolve the damages to your table and they will contact you shortly.

    I called GBS to have the rug cleaned. I also had them when the table had a scratch that needed fixed. We had to wait for a week to have the technician come out. The couch had a burn that they fixed, but we had to wait for the part to come in, so it was a little longer on that. We have an ongoing claim right now. We've been waiting on the part for a couple of months. But they said since the part is on backorder, they're just gonna give us a whole new table. Overall, GBS was good.

    We purchased coverage on a new sectional sofa because it is light colored and we have small children. According to the warranty, if the technician cannot get a stain out, the piece will be replaced. Well, not so much. Our 1 year old wrote on our sofa with a marker and my wife called in a claim. The technician came out to attempt to clean that spot as well as another spot we reported. He told us he’d report this to GBS and then they’d have to set up either having new upholstery put on or just replace the pieces. He told us to follow up with GBS, which my wife did. However, when she spoke to the customer service rep she was told the claim was denied because the technician stated the stain must be “accumulation.” He never once said anything to us along these lines. In fact, he sounded quite the opposite and that the pieces should be replaced.

    My wife followed up again about the claim and was told this time that they agreed with her, that the marker spots was not accumulation, and that they would check if the pieces are available. The representative went so far as to tell my wife “I’ll be with you every step of the way.” Well, after 3 weeks of no calls or notification, my wife followed up again only to be told there was no record of her conversation with any rep or supervisor about replacing the pieces.

    I called them again today to follow up. They’re denying the claim saying that a marker stain is accumulation? How is a marker stain accumulation? I find that this company is happy to take your money and then only provide the minimum coverage... sending a technician to try to clean it. When I asked to talk with a supervisor I was told he was going into a meeting and that he would call me back, but would only tell me the same thing the rep had already told me. I highly doubt I’ll even get the courtesy of a call back.

    Mr. Beam, we appreciate your review. A claim was filed for the milk, dry erase marker, and the ink stains to your recliner. A technician was sent out in an attempt to clean the reported stains. According to his tech report, he "...removed 80%" of the stains and was unable to remove the rest. In his professional opinion, " these stains are the result of accumulation... This amount of stains (resulted from) a build up over time." According to your protection plan, accumulation is non-warranted and is the reason we were unable to proceed further with the claim.

    We have had our furniture for 2 years and a seam came undone (it didn't tear or rip) and we needed it fixed. I called to see if it was covered because we go the "protect all" coverage. Now you would think something as simple as that would be covered but after 30 minutes on the phone and the agent reading the entire brochure they denied my coverage. Now I know the brochure says they cover "punctures and rips (excluding seams)" BUT my issue is not a tear or puncture... it has simply come undone. What is the purpose of a protect all warranty that won't cover something as simple as this? We have spent $300 on this warranty and I have a feeling it is a waste of money.

    I do not recommend this service to anyone with children. I paid good money for my couches and the extended warranty. I have little children and did not both to call in a claim for stains or small rips in the furniture. I called in my claim when I had moved the couch and the plug for the electric recliner ripped out of the motor. They offered to send out a technician to fix the damage but apparently due to their being rips and other minor damages he could not repair it. The technician told me he would send the photos to GBS and they would get back to me.

    When I called the representative placed me on an extremely long hold while she spoke to her supervisor who told her to deny my claim. When I asked why, it was due to the fact that there were multiple damages and it appeared to be over a long period of time. I then asked her if I was supposed to call as soon as my 2 year old spilled juice on it. Which I was informed that is exactly what I needed to do. I explained that I have children and was not going to utilize a warranty for a small cosmetic issue. Apparently the warranty is only good if you call immediately upon any issue. So I highly suggest if you buy a warranty from this company that if you so much as sneeze on the furniture you call in a claim immediately.

    Mr. Maskell, GBS has taken the opportunity to review your claim. You originally filed in January for a claim on your damaged furniture purchased in 2014. Your claim was filed for what was you described as dissolving and worn away leather of the sofa and oversized chair. You were informed that the damages were non-warranted, as the plan does not cover the breaking down or wearing of leather, which also includes cracking and peeling of the leather. However, photos were requested of the damages for review, as a good faith gesture.

    As of May 7, 2019, photos had not been received and GBS attempted to reach out to you regarding your claim and the photos that were previously requested. An email was sent to you dated May 18th, requesting that you contact us for more information. Upon reviewing your photos you submitted, you were once again informed that the damages were non-warranted for cracking and peeling.

    Your GBS Furniture Protection Plan, covers for damages or stains that are from single incidents that are not the result of the craftsmanship of the furniture or are the result of any flaw or defect in the material. As a courtesy we have spoke to you today, prior to receiving your review to request photos per your retailer's request to see if there are any options for assistance since the damages you reported are non-warranted. The only photos GBS has received do not show the furniture in its entirety and are only limited to the close up of the damaged area. Please provide the requested photos and the skilled GBS agent will be happy to work with your retailer to assist you in this matter.

After 4 weeks it had not arrived and I called GBS. They said that we were supposed to order the part that the technician could not order it. On May 15, 2019 GBS customer service person assured me that the part had been ordered and it should arrive in 2-4 weeks. Then we were to call GBS to have a tech come install it. On May 24 Weir's Furniture, where we bought the chair and who sold us the policy, called and said that they were ordering the part and it would be here in August.

    The GBS warranty is catch-22. If there is something small that happens, the warranty is great. But if you're having a lot of problems, it's a hassle. But it's worth it. I've had a bunch of claims. When the footrest piece on the recliner broke, they came out and fixed it, and everything was fine. But then I got some rips on the side of it. They had a guy come out and he reupholstered part of it. He was supposed to come back and finish the other part but GBS ended up denying the claim. I was told GBS was not covering it and the recliner was never fully put back together right. They said they wouldn’t fix it. But what am I supposed to do with a couch that's not put back together right? It is what it is though.

    Finally, they said that they had somebody come out but the guy was saying that was not what he was here for. He's like, “Now, you have to call back.” The service is good but it's a hassle. When you file a request, they usually get in touch with you fairly quickly. Then a service technician is dispatched whenever somebody is in the area basically. But every time, it's somebody different. I've had five people in the five times they've come to fix the couch. One guy ordered the parts then a different company came to do the work. Then you wonder why it doesn’t get done right. That would be my complaint. If one guy orders the parts, they should have that guy come back to actually fix it. Sometimes, you're trying to explain what's going on. But it would be nice to have one person come out, look at it and order the parts then come back and fix it, not a different company all together.

    I live alone and I was getting ready to have a second cataract surgery in just four days. I had one a week before, and when I had those surgeries, I have to sleep in the chair. I can't sleep in the bed. And the chair wouldn't move at all. It was like dead in the water. I talked first with the factory for the recliner chair then I talked to Jordan's who then told me to call GBS Warranty Services first and so I did. Then Jordan's sent their person to fix the chair.

    When I called GBS, the lady I spoke with was very professional. She got all the information down. I explained to her exactly what the chair was doing. I told her about what the technical people had said at the factory. And then, as we were hanging up, she said, "Okay, a technician will be in touch with you." She said it would be six or eight working days, and this was like a Thursday. And I was demoralized because someone will be in touch with me to schedule a visit. So considerably, it could have taken two weeks before somebody came out.

    I started to cry, and I don't do that very often, but I was feeling overwhelmed. And she said, "Well, I'll put a note on here that if anybody can speed it up, will they please do it." And so, that was where we left it. But I like the idea of them being able to review request from people like me on a case-by-case basis. In normal times, I would not be in a panic mode. I could wait two weeks for a technician to call me to set up an appointment or I should say six or eight days to set up an appointment two weeks from when I called. But I was really under the gun with that one. And subsequently, it turned out that I had complications with this second surgery, and I would be really in bad shape if I didn't have this chair operating like it is now.

    I was in charge of engineering and maintenance for big corporations and then, my last job was with a major hospital in Boston in that same kind of job. And I think when I was scared, I would have appreciated the person reaching out before I burst into tears to say, "Let me see if there's anything I can do to expedite it," rather than getting the standard answer of six to eight working days. She also did have a very accent. She was a little bit difficult to understand, but I've traveled a lot and I just couldn't figure out where she was from. And I finally just decided I'm gonna listen to her carefully, and I did, and it was fine.

    Still, I was a lucky duck this time because I'm sure that the piece that was replaced was a big ticket item considering the cost of the chair. The chair, as I recall, was maybe around 2,000. It could have even been more. And the issue was what we call an adapter. It's like the black box on the floor and it wasn't like some of the wire needed to be connected. It was a fairly substantial piece of equipment that makes this chair run. And it's running beautifully now.

I wish I could provide pictures on this site to show how ridiculous the furniture looked. I paid 1,700 for the furniture and another 200 for the warranty (which I guess covers nothing). GBS was rude (Kim was the supervisor I spoke with). I encourage people to not waste their money on this service, as it is an entire waste of money.

    Purchased a sofa at Ashley's Home Furniture in 2016. Nice piece of furniture. After 2.5 years of minimal use, sofa still looks new, it developed a sag in the middle where it sinks 3+ inches when you sit on it. Anyone sitting on the ends finds themselves leaning toward the middle. Called the GBS warranty folks. Cooperative and sent a technician out to look for "frame damage". He found a spring that had become undone and reconnected the spring. No other damage was apparent. However this did not fix the issue with the sofa. The technician took photos and said I would be contacted in 3-5 days by GBS. They said they would send me a copy of the warranty in my email.

    5 business days went by. No contact. Gave it another 3. I called them. They didn't have all the information from the technician and would call me back. No call. Gave it a couple of days then I called them. On a side note, the emailed warranty copy never arrived. Claimed that the technician information was still not all available. Then we got into a discussion of the warranty. The person on the phone said that this was classified under "resiliency" and not covered by the warrant. Didn't have the technicians report nor photos. Still, they knew the issue. I asked how to appeal the decision and was told there is no way to do so. Basically I was out of luck. I will be pursuing this further via Ashley's and GBS.

    After getting the run around I am now being told that my furniture will not be replaced because there is more than one scratch on the table which they consider normal wear and tear and it's not covered. The chairs aren't going to be replaced either because the cross bars didn't fall off in one incident. GBS protection plan is a SCHEME!!! I will now be getting a lawyer involved with this situation. Ashley Furniture also told me they never received the report from GBS so they can't move forward, GBS is telling me they sent the report so I asked for the report to be resent which I was then told by GBS they would have to contact the tech that came out and did the initial report. Save your money on the protection plan as they will find every way around it to not fix or replace your furniture. Skip from buying from Ashley Furniture altogether. I thought I was getting a step up from Bob's Furniture. Apparently I was wrong. MONEY WASTED!!!

    We purchased a sofa and loveseat. We decided to purchase GBS protection plan since we have small children's and bodily fluids are covered under the protection. I called them and after a month they showed up but my claim was denied because I had an accumulation of stains. Technician told me to just flip the cushions over so that I don't see the stains. Wow.

    Fast forward to now. There is a big obvious stain that needs to be removed in one corner of the sofa. That claim was automatically declined because 1st I need to pay a professional cleaner to clean both my sofa and loveseat then send them that technician's report so that they can move forward with this new claim. So why did I pay for their protection if I still need to get my furniture cleaned by another company? What does this new huge stain have to do with my previous stain? Big waste of money. Do not purchase this protection because there is no protection at all. A BIG SCAM.

    Mr. Denis, we appreciate your review. You initially contacted us because of the food stains on your sofa and loveseat. We sent a technician to repair the damages, but he was unable to do so due to the accumulation of stains on both pieces of furniture. You called us back not too long afterward for a second, different, claim which was immediately deemed non-warranted because the previous accumulation was not addressed and brought back to factory settings.

    Your protection plan covers one-time accidents that fall within the coverage guidelines where it states: “This Plan is not a service contract and does not eliminate the need for routine care and maintenance of Your Furniture…” Instead, it warrants that every single stain or accidental damage be reported within the 30 days of noticing it instead of letting the stains pile up or accumulate.

    Circumstantially, since the first claim was non-warranted due to the accumulation of stains. For us to service any additional damages, the sofa and loveseat have to be brought back to factory standards in the form of an out-of-pocket cleaning.

    We will be more than happy to provide you with a list of options in your area should you choose to pursue that option.

    I purchased a sectional through Ashley Furniture and was told to also purchase warranty coverage through GBS. After having the sectional for less than a year, the microfiber ripped in two places. Despite calling numerous times, filing claims as per the instructions and in the time frame stated on our warranty, GBS has yet to correct the problem. They always say the fabric will be shipped in 2 days. It has now been over 6 months!!! No response or help from GBS at all! We just keep getting the runaround and now the rips are so awful that one part of our sectional is ruined. Here we are stuck with a sofa we are still paying for, with a protection warranty that was a total waste of money and no help at all! If I could give this company 0 stars, I would and I am not one to complain or speak ill of companies.

    I spent roughly 800 dollars on a protection plan through Ashley Furniture. This is a GBS Enterprises product and was explained in the store that anytime I have damage to call and file a claim within 30 days in order to get it approved. I made my first call in regards to scratch damage and a stain in my couch. They approved the claims and sent out a tech to remove the stain, then after 5 minutes of work the tech left saying he had to come back to block off time for the furniture damage.

    After receiving no calls back GBS had secretly denied my claim and never called me to communicate that while I was waiting for the next scheduled service time. For that matter, GBS has never called me back a single time for anything. I cancelled my policy because they are dishonest about their business practices and about what they have already agreed to do.

    I cancelled on FEB 4th, as a matter of procedure to make it as painful for cancelling customers as possible they only allow a cancellation letter to be sent via the mail which GBS has to generate. After calling back about this letter getting sent to me on Feb 15th, Mar 18th, and April 18th they said they mailed a letter on Mar 29th (which of course I never got). In each of these calls Feb 4th, Feb 15th, Mar 18th, April 18th I asked for expedited service on my claim processing and that letters be sent immediately because I was so dissatisfied. In each phone call they assured me that it had been expedited and that they were waiting for information from the cancellation department.

    Julian **- Supervisor - in my April 18th phone call again assured me information regarding post office information and that again I would get another letter in the mail in the next 10ish days. From that point I have to sign the letter, mail it back to them, and once it reaches the accounting department and they cut me a check it will take another 14 days to get my money back...

    Think about how insane this is. It takes from Feb 4th to June 1st estimated money back. In order to cancel a policy and get your money back. It also took 4 phone calls regarding one single issue of getting this letter in the mail. This company is in the business of defrauding customers by wrongfully or dishonestly denying claims, and then punishing customers who just want to exit and get their money back. I intend on following up with the AGs of each state this company has a location in, for further investigation. Look at the 140 complaints just on this website with this business. This is egregious.

    Mr. Vaughan, we appreciate your review and have reviewed your claim. You contacted us to report multiple minor scratches and damages to your furniture. During the call, you stated that the damages are from a while back but with the hurricane and other reasons, you were unable to call in. Your main concern was to have someone come out and check the damages since some of them were assumed, by you, to have derived from defects. During the call, we explained that some of the damages were non-warranted. We sent out a technician for the damages that were warranted. The photos and tech report from the visit display damages that are non-warranted and, also accumulated. After the claim, you requested the compensation of your pro-rated protection plan price which was also reimbursed back to you.

I just noticed a piece of wood chipped off my chair. I also had some scratches on my table. I was asked how did this happen and I told her that I do not know. I submitted my pictures.

    Two days later I called again because no one reached out to me. The lady reviewed my claim and stated that my damages did not look accidental and there were multiple scratches. "We're not going to be able to help you." I asked to speak to a manager. At that point I'm very upset because that was not what I was told before buying the warranty. The manager told me the same thing. Why have a warranty if you get denied. I see a lot of people have this issue with this Company. They take your money and leave you hanging.

    GBS has taken the opportunity to review your claim. We would like to extend our sincerest apologies for any inconveniences you have experienced.

    Although the plan covers for scratches or gouges that penetrate the finish, certain stains, and certain damages, these damages must be the result of a single incident. Damages or stains that have accumulated or built up over time are non-warranted under the plan's terms and conditions. Additionally, the coverage is limited to the damage or stain type that is listed under the "Plan Coverage" section for the correlating damages. Breakage of the wood is not a coverage that is offered by the plan and therefore damages relating to such are non-warranted. The plan is in a third parties name, therefore if any specific plan questions are requested or as per the notes, a request for a refund is desired, we ask that they contact us directly per the requirements of their plan's guidelines.

    Do not buy GBS Extended Warranty. Bought a extended warranty in 2015 through Haynes provided by GBS. There is a tear in the underside of footrest in reclining couch. GBS says they won't cover it. There is no exclusions in their terms as where the the tear is located. They are saying they will only cover the top of the furniture.

    They approved claim first then said to submit serial number so I could get set up. They took all my info and then never contacted me. They had my email as **. I called back and they said claim was denied because the tear was not covered. I ask to speak to a manager and was put through to a team lead and he stated same thing that they don't cover the tear so asked for them to send me documentation stating that. So they sent it and it says it covers tears, rips, seam rips and punctures.

    It does not state that it can't be on underside of furniture. Nowhere in the documentation does it state it has to be on top portion of couch. They are making it up as they go along. I responded through the email and they refused to correspond in writing. An automated response said I had to call to discuss it. Then when I called back and asked to speak to the manager they told me no one will override the decision. I said I didn't care and still wanted to to talk to someone. So they said I would have to wait until someone calls me. I also asked for the legal department and they stated you can't speak to anyone in the legal department, that I would have to email the same claims email and ask to be contacted. This place is shady and a joke.

    Purchased reclining couch and love seat from Haynes in Newport News Va in December 2015 with GBS Extended Warranty for 279.99. I think it’s crazy that a place like Haynes would associate with such a shady company like this. I only bought the warranty because of Haynes recommendation. I am out $280 bucks and now my footrest is sagging because the foam is coming out of the tear. BBB rating is one star and their Facebook page only has complaints.

The damages that you reported for the USB port that was not working and a tear in the material. USB Port for accessory purposes is not a coverage that is offered by the plan and therefore damages relating to such are non-warranted. Regarding the the tear, it is standard that photos include the damaged area and serial numbers of the damaged furniture item. Photos that are submitted with all the necessary information help to avoid any delays in the claim process. All photo reviews are pending review for damages that are covered under the terms and conditions of the consumer's protection plan.

    After reviewing the requested photos, the tears in the material were not of the upholstered leather, but of the decking or cambric used underneath which comes in contact with the internal mechanisms over time with usage. These areas of covering or material is non-warranted under you furniture protection plan. Based on you indicating that the leather is impacted, but not displayed in any of the attached photos submitted by you, we have assigned a technician to provide an assessment of the damaged area. Upon receipt of the technician's report, GBS will contact you with an update regarding your claim status.

You stated that the damages were noticed three weeks prior and that your “…son messed up the furniture from excess usage.” You were then asked to send in photos so that we could review the damages and proceed with the claim.

    After the review, an email was sent to you explaining the deciding factor of your claim. You contacted GBS again for clarification and on that call, the agent that you spoke with politely and professionally explained that the damages displayed in the pictures show seam separation to numerous casings and the decorative buttons are gone from the casing of the loveseat.

    I bought the GBS protection plan through Ashley Furniture for a sectional I purchased there. A few months later, I noticed a small tear in the fabric of the sectional. I was relieved at first, believing I could get this fixed since I had the protection plan, but this has turned into the worst customer service experience ever. I first submitted the service request through the GBS website and was told I would be contacted within 24-48 hours. When they failed to get in contact with me, I tried calling their direct number only to be told for days on end (over a week) that their systems were down and they couldn't take any claims until they were back up.

    Eventually, we reached someone when the system was back up and submitted our claim. We were told they had to check to see if the item was available and they would get back to us. Again, no return call after a week, so we called back. We reached a different person who told us that they would have to send us a new piece of the sectional to replace the one with the tear. They said they would call us back, but never did. We called back again and were asked to send in a copy of the receipt, a copy of the warranty, pictures of the part numbers under the cushions, the SKUS, etc. etc. I think they were hoping I couldn't provide something so they could get out of it, but I had it all. SO, they said they were not going to send us the piece, but they were going to send us fabric in the mail. Once we got the fabric, they would send someone out to see if they could repair it with the fabric.

    We waited and waited for the fabric and it never came. So, we called them back and they said, "Oh we are going to send the fabric on the 24th. Give it seven to 10 days." Two weeks later, no fabric and no phone calls. We called back and were told that they never sent the fabric on the 24th. By this point we were livid and told them to just cancel the protection plan and refund our money. They said ok, but it would take four to six weeks to get our refund. Six weeks later - nothing. So, we called a supervisor who told us they never received the cancellation request. So, she had us send an email directly to her requesting cancellation, which she confirmed receipt of. She said it would be another four to six weeks. Six weeks later - nothing. We called her again and she said she wasn't sure what happened and she would submit the cancellation again.

    Finally, after another six weeks, what did we get in the mail? Not a refund check, but a letter stating that if we sign to release them from any further liability, then they would send us a refund check. Never were we told this. We were expecting a check. But, we signed the release a month ago, sent it back and are still waiting for said check to arrive. We submitted our claim at the beginning of October. It is now mid March and we are still waiting.

They advised me that I would hear from someone in 3-5 days. Also, they told me not to clean the furniture because that would make the furniture null and void.

    I called back into GBS on Friday March 1st. I wanted to see if someone was assigned to our case and what the status was. I was advised that whoever created the original case assigned this to someone that no longer services in Florida. Not sure why this would ever happen or why no one picked up this before I called into you guys again 4 days later. Either of which, I was then told it was routed to someone new. I asked how I could speed up the process. They said I could call All Furniture Services (the new routed company) so that is what I did. All Furniture said the earliest they could come to my house was on Wednesday March 6th or Wednesday March 13th. I of course took the earliest date because I wanted these pee stains removed as quickly as possible and on the 6th, it would have been 9 days at that time

    All Furniture Services provided me a timeframe between 11-3 to arrive. They of course did not show up until 3:15. Also, I had to take the day off of work for this because I was under the impression since I had a warranty, they were coming over to actually clean the couch, not just take pictures in 5 minutes and leave. I called into GBS on 3/7 (mind you this is 10 days later) and had someone review the file real quick. They said the couch doesn’t meet the warranty because the pictures provided show the whole couch needed cleaned. I told them this is not what I was looking for. I don’t know why the whole couch was even taken into consideration. I called on Feb 25 for a reason. It was to service the middle couch that connects the chase and end couch. There was a pee incident and I needed it cleaned

    All in all, after going back and forth with GBS and the warranty department, on Friday 3/8 I was told this is not going to be covered. Make sure to never purchase a plan from this company. I buy all furniture from Ashley Furniture but after going through this, not only will they lose me as a company, I will most likely never get a warranty on furniture again.

    Mr. Wagner, thank you for your review. You contacted GBS to report a urine stain on your couch. We assigned a technician to the claim in order to have the damages reviewed and repaired, if warranted. The initial technician that was assigned to inspect your furniture no longer services Florida, and upon that realization (on the same day that you contacted us), we had already re-assigned your claim to another entity who’s contact information was provided to you upon your request.

    The protection plan that you have for your furniture covers for single, accidental damages to the furniture that is reported within 30 days of noticing it (among other great benefits and coverage). It is not a cleaning service. When a technician is assigned to a claim, they are to primarily confirm the accuracy of the damages and, if warranted, they will attempt repair. If the damages are non-warranted under your protection plan, they are instructed to take photos and report back to GBS for further actions or instruction.

    The photos that were taken by the technician display multiple stains along the back casing, the decking and the seat casings of the sofa. The tech report stated that there is an "accumulation of different stains all over," "the sectional needs a deep clean (by the customer) ...but some stains may not be cleanable."

    Those damages were never previously reported to GBS and as such qualify as accumulation and are past the reporting time frame. Since the damages were non-warranted, the technician is then expected to take photos so that we can review the reason for which they do not service the piece (hence the photos that were taken and no repairs made during your visit.)

    Your protection plan states: "This Plan does not eliminate the need for routine care and maintenance of Your Furniture which shall be Your sole responsibility." In other words, those stains would have to be serviced (professionally with the receipt or proof of this service) prior to us addressing the stain that the call was originally made for.

    We would be more than happy to provide some out of pocket options should you choose to proceed with the repairs.

    I had a GBS Warranty on my Ashley Gilmer Sofa that I purchased just over a year ago in Chicago. The sofa had a break in the frame and GBS sent someone out to review it to decide what to do. I had since moved to San Francisco and GBS determined that the break was to be covered by their own admission but stated that I was now out of the delivery area (after having moved). Because the repairs cost too much money and I was out of their undefined 'delivery area' (and even though they were willing to replace the full couch), they told me that they would not be covering this.

    They told me I could get it fixed on my own cost but that they would only cover future warranty repairs (even though its apparently out of the delivery range so that makes no sense). They offered me no other means to make me whole. They could have offered to cover the cost up to the couch's value (as their limit of liability states) or just performed the repairs anyways.

    Mr. Klein, your feedback is greatly appreciated. You contacted us to report frame damage to your sofa. During that time, we were made aware of an address change. After the pricing for the repairs came back to us from the technician that went to inspect and possibly repair the item, we were made aware that you were out of the service area which then exhausted all other avenues. We will be getting in contact with you shortly to discuss the remaining details of your claim.

    I got an indoor furniture protection and when the frame broke in the same place twice, I called GBS for a service request. It was easy submitting a claim and the rep arranged for someone to come and fix the furniture. I got a phone call from GBS and that was smooth. I had no issues. They were able to dispatch someone out in 10 days. My dad was present when the first technician came in October and a different one came for the second time in January. The wooden frame that the fabric stretches over was spliced together where it should have either been one long piece or overlapped better. The second guy glued it, nailed it and wrapped it. He did extensive effort so as not to come back. So far, the frame is good. GBS was a reliable option and it was worth the trouble to use it.

    So I purchased a sectional in May of 2017, I have 2 small children so went with the 5yr protection plan, it clearly says what is and isnt covered! It's February 2019 and my handle on my non electronic recliner has broken off leaving metal wires exposed in the crack of the couch as well as a triangular piece with nails sticking out coming from the frame of the chaise! I called to originally make a claim for the recliner handle (the most used seat on the couch) and priority for the claim, the lady taking my claim asked if I wanted to include anything else that may be covered under the protection plan, so I included some newly added yogurt stains from my toddler, (you have to tell them when the accidents occurred and in the plan contract it says within 30 days) why not knock out 3 birds with one stone!

    So I made my claim, scheduled an appointment with a technician within 2 weeks, Wednesday at 6:40pm, the day before my appointment at 8am, I received a text from the third party company that one of their techs car broke down so I have to change my appointment time to later time in the day bc they have a tech coming from Miami (3-4hrs away) to arrive between 2-5pm. When originally I choose the first available apt 8-10am so I could be there, it was fine I adjusted my schedule and had my sister stay at my house to let the tech in. So she tells me the tech gets there around the new scheduled time, knocks on the door, doesn't introduce himself, or what company hes from. Nothing! Just says hi, "I'm here for the couch", he looks over the couch, Tells him what is broken and needs fixed, he takes literally, one maybe 2 pictures, leaves goes out in his car to "make a report".

    The guy literally was at my house for maybe 15 mins, 10 of it sitting in his car making up this report! Just says he needs to do my report, doesn't even tells me I need to get back to the protection company to find out the status of my claim or anything. I called back the next day to find out the status of my claim, they say, "Oh, we haven't received the report yet from the technician." So I'm like, "Okay, he was in the car sending a report why hasn't it been sent in yet?!" So she says, "Call back Monday and they should have the status of your claim." I gave it the weekend and Monday and called back on Tuesday. They still said they hadn't received the claim and to call by the end of the week.

    It's Friday 3/1/19, a week and a day since I had the tech to my house, I call to find out the status of my claim and the lady on the phone says, "Oh I'm sorry but your claim was denied! The tech deemed your couch unrepairable. Took "17" pictures that shows stains all over the couch and an accumulation of wear on the couch so we were unable to approve your claim!" At this point I'm livid! The woman worded it in such a way that made it seem like my couch was so filthy thats why they couldn't fix it! HELLO!! The couple yogurt spots from my toddler is not why I made this claim! But because I included it in the claim process, basically my couch is filthy and can't be fixed!!!

    So the lady on the phone says she will she need to speak to her lead about my handle and frame problem, puts me on hold for like 10 mins, finally comes back on the line and says, "oh, he said he will make an exception, if you get your couch professionally cleaned and provide a receipt for your cleaning then, we will proceed with fixing your handle and frame of your couch on the claim!!! WHAT!?!?!? What does it have to do with fixing my handle and frame of my chaise?! These people are lazy and just want to take your money and not do the work!!!

    A pointless $250 protection plan on my 2500 section! I have gone through other furniture protection plans and was provided exceptional customer service, with multiple couch cleanings and repairs. This was by far the most unprofessional and customer serviceless experience I have ever dealt with, coming from the customer service industry! Pure laziness and full of excuses! Do not go with GBS warranty services, unless you want to waste money on a pointless warranty service!!

    Mrs. Lindsey, your feedback is appreciated. You called into GBS to make a claim on your sectional for the frame damage. When asked if there was anything else that you would like to report, you added the milk and yogurt stains from your son. Though both items are covered under your protection plan, it is imperative that you report those damages (warranted spot stains) within 30 days of noticing them, rather than letting them pile over time, resulting in accumulation which is non-warranted. The damages to the frame are also covered but since there is an accumulation on the sofa from everyday use, we offered that we would take care of the frame damage once you are able to address the accumulation on the sofa, which is a standard good faith gesture we offer to customers in your specific predicament.

    Your protection covers single, accidental instances which need to be reported within 30 days of noticing them. You can call and add as many additional stains/instances to the claim between the time you initially called us and the day the technician arrives to address the damages and all the stains will be accounted for and covered. If, however, the stains happen over an extended period and are reported after the fact, that is non-warranted accumulation. Likewise if there are two damages that are reported simultaneously, instead of denying both because of one (non-warranted), we will often compromise and cover the underlying damages if our customer is willing to cover for the acquired accumulation.

    Should you decide to accept the terms under which GBS would cover the frame damage, please contact us so that we can move forward with the repairs following the spot cleaning of the milk and yogurt stains.

I sent photos along with a copy of the warranty and GBS is denying stating fabric is missing. This "rip" "tear" can close together.

    Mrs. Ellis, we appreciate your feedback. You contacted us to report a tear to the footrest of your reclining sofa. We requested that you send in photos of the damage so that we can have a better understanding of the location and coverage of said damages should we need to take further action. In the photo that you sent, rather than a tear, there is a hole on the footrest with missing material.

    A tear can be professionally put back together by a technician and has no missing materials in between. That is the reason that we would cover for a tear (depending on the protection plan coverage and the material) and not a hole.

    Mrs. Paulsen, your review is appreciated. You contacted us about a scratch mark to your table. We sent a technician out to review the damages and carry out a repair (if warranted). Instead, the technician took photos of the table and left without any repairs being done. Your protection plan covers for single, accidental incidents that are reported within 30 days of you noticing the damage. The other scratches on the table were never reported and because some are overlapping the damage in question they would have to be addressed before we could move forward with the scratch that you reported. According to the terms of your agreement, “This Plan does not eliminate the need for routine care and maintenance of Your Furniture which shall be Your (the customer’s) sole responsibility.”

    Over the past 16 months, we have tried to get GBS to honor a claim that is clearly covered by the furniture protection plan (exact claim details are clearly spelled out in the warranty brochure) that was sold to us by Ashley Furniture in Knoxville, TN. We have been given the royal runaround, calling multiple departments, sending pictures, etc. Finally, GBS denied our claim, deeming it "accumulated wear and tear." According to the Better Business Bureau, that's what GBS tells everybody whose claim is denied!

    We finally gave up on the claim and asked for a full refund of the furniture protection plan. GBS said they would e-mail us a form to complete and return for a full refund. That did not happen, but we received a Release of Claims form via regular snail mail 3 months later! In this form, GBS offered us a refund $39.02 of the $1230 premium we paid for a five-year protection plan, although we were only 16 months into the contract. Those are pretty good terms if you can get somebody to sign up. No thank you.

They gave me some options for a date, a choose one but got no time frame afterwards as I expected. It ended up being something that wouldn't work for me (they only tell you the day before), so I canceled and they said I could just send pictures to an email. I did so, heard nothing. Called back they didn't get the pictures. Sent them again which worked. The agent said he "saw the peeling you're talking about" and checked the value of the table, then said it would be easy to just replace it.

    Asked for a picture of the full piece which I didn't have at that moment, so he said it would be fine to send later and call back. I did that, and they said I would be hearing back about the replacement in the next couple of days since the claim was complete. The next day I received an email siting that the peeling would not be covered because it was "accumulation of stains/damage". There was never a point in the process where that wasn't the conversation I had with the rep on the phone, but they time and again told me it would be replaced.

    I called back to be told that everything I had been told before was incorrect and there was nothing they could do. Absolutely ridiculous. The piece should be replaced just for the very fact that this company is so incapable of providing a clear message to its customer.

It was during the holidays, so the contractor took a little bit longer to come out but it was no more than two weeks and I understand that. The contractor did a quick little fix and it was a 10-minute appointment. The work was good.

    Purchased a $4000 leather living room set from Ashley furniture in 2017. Immediately after delivery we called because one of the backs of the loveseat was warped... so we thought. The warranty company shipped a replacement back for the loveseat. We waited several weeks for repairman to come. As soon as he walked in the door he said the only thing wrong is it was assembled improperly. He took it apart and in 5 mins. It was perfect. I asked about the 2 giant boxes the warranty company had sent. He said they’ll pick up. Still in my living room and it’s 2019. Then a few months ago my husband was reclining on loveseat and the cords to the recliner sparked and split apart. They said they would send repairman out. He came approx 2 months ago and said he needed to order the cords. Still no one has returned.

    My husband calls today and warranty company says the case is closed. The repairman says he fixed!!! He never came back and now his phone is disconnected. Also, had a problem with left arm of loveseat. For some unknown reason it started peeling and bubbling up. The warranty company says they don’t cover peeling. If I pay $4000 for furniture and in a year it starts peeling there is a problem with manufacturing! None of the other arms are peeling. This is leather and should not peel unless cut. They said the repairman would look at it and take pics and decide if it should be warranted. Guess what, they denied, but can’t get in touch with repairman that says he fixed cords. Don’t waste your money on this warranty. You’re better off to save your money and buy your own cord. They hardly cover anything!!!

    Mrs. Davis, we appreciate your review. You contacted us to file a claim for a rip in your loveseat. We sent a technician out for that damage and per the technician’s notes the damages he found were actually cracking and peeling of the leather which is non-warranted under your protection plan. The next claim was pertaining to the mechanism that broke off in your chair. We sent a technician to fix the damages and are currently in the process of looking into other options to resolve the issue since it is covered under your protection plan. We will be getting in contact with you shortly.

    If I could give 0 stars I would. This warranty company is fraud and they will do anything to avoid replacing your damaged product. I submitted a claim three weeks ago regarding my bed frame and bed slots and have not received a single response. I personally had to reach out via phone and finally got in touch with a representative that told me they had to listen to the phone recording in order to process my claim... The first representative I spoke to three weeks ago told me to submit photos from my broken bed slots and my bed frame stain and now they're not valid/covered under the plan. This company is rediculous and is a waste of my time and patience. I wish I read reviews before I paid for a warranty that doesn’t warrant any damages. On top of that every single representative doesn’t speak proper English so you will have to ask them to repeat what they're saying every sentence.

    Mrs. Jira, your feedback is appreciated. You contacted us in regard to the blood and food stains to your sectional sofa. We requested a part inquiry in order to have the affected parts replaced. You contacted us again and reported more damages which were then added to the part pricing inquiry. In the email we received in response to our request, the time frame for the parts necessary for your repairs was 3-4 months as the pieces are being shipped from overseas (China).

    There were also additional delays because of the Chinese New Year celebration during which all businesses are shut down and nothing gets shipped out. Seeing that all of those delays were not beneficial to you, we have since retracted the order for the part replacement and are in the process of providing you with a full replacement, as a good faith gesture.

    I bought a reclining couch and an oversized chair from Ashley Furniture, and both of them are covered by GBS. The oversized chair has one reclining part. I was going to pull out the recliner one day, and I lifted the lever and heard a snapping sound. So, the part that attaches the wire to the chair that makes it recline snapped off and broke. And then the cat had urinated on both pieces of furniture, so there were stains. I called Ashley Furniture and they gave me GBS' phone number. I then called GBS and they gave me a claim number, so filing a claim was pretty easy.

    On the day that I called GBS, they gave me an appointment right away since they had an opening later that week. It was pretty quick. When the tech came out to initially clean the furniture for pet stains and fix the recliner, he took out his sprayer and did the top part of the couch. He cleaned the surface part nicely, but he didn’t open up the furniture to clean the crevice and that was where all the cat urine went into. Also, he didn’t even flip the chair over to look at the part that was broken. He just said that it was a standard part that needs to get ordered. But he was very polite and professional. A couple of weeks went by after the tech left, GBS didn't call me. So I had to call them, send the serial numbers, wait, and call them back.

    They needed pictures of the device that was broken. So I had to take pictures, email those, and call them back. So now, they've ordered it, and they said once it gets shipped to my house, I have to call them back to make an appointment. So, it has taken a time. I didn’t expect to have go through so many steps. I was also disappointed that they said that pet urine problems are not covered. So in other words, they said they'll clean anything that is aesthetically a spot, but they won't really do anything more to clean the urine that seeped down into the cushion. They'll only clean surface things, not really deep clean the urine stain and that was disappointing. It's been about three times now where they've asked me to take a picture of something and email it to them. After I do that, they don’t do anything unless you call back and check on it. So that's frustrating too. So even after I send what they've asked, I have to take the initiative to follow up with them.

    I bought a GBS warranty protection for a recliner. The chair was still under extended warranty, and it stopped working. The chair has needed that warranty three different times since we’ve purchased it. So, we’ve only had that chair for five years and we’ve had to call for service three times. That’s a little disappointing.

    The power wasn’t getting to it and it wouldn’t recline. So, I called for a service request. We had a situation because my mother had a broken hip. The recliner was going to be very useful for her, and it broke just as she came home from the nursing home.

    The service warranty went fairly well, although it was a little confusing. You start out calling Jordan’s, and then they tell you to call someone else. Then they send you back to Jordan’s, and then you wait for somebody to call you to set up the appointment. It seems a little bit drawn out. It took about a week to dispatch a service technician. They moved it up and made it more timely, but we still waited a week for it. We also got some special service because we explained the situation. They were able to fix the chair, and we didn’t pay anything even though we were one month short of the five-year expiration on the warranty. The rep was very good, polite and personable. He got down to business, put down a drop cloth to protect the carpet, and fixed everything promptly. He was the serviceman you wanted. He was great.

    My dog got sick on the area rug in a couple different places and the customer service of GBS warranty was pleasant and effective. They dispatched someone after four days and from there it took about a week and a half for the work to be completed. The rug is in the main traffic area, so we’ve had at least 10 claims in two years. GBS has definitely been worth it for us and has paid for itself.

    But if I could ask for anything, I hope they could clean the entire rug rather than just a spot cleaner. The first year of service that we had your service, someone came out with a Bissell Spotbot, which was kind of a joke because we needed somebody to come with a professional cleaning system. That one was unsatisfactory. They now bring a professional grade carpet cleaner. But I wish they could do the whole rug rather than just one spot because then that one spot is lighter than the rest of the rug. We had multiple spots because it was a dog urine and the technician kinda argued with me a little bit and then called GBS. It was all about timing and being billed for time. It was gonna take him an extra 5 to 10 minutes to clean the rug and give me the big deal about it. Ultimately GBS approved the extra time. But it would be lovely if we didn’t have to mess with that.

    If I could leave no stars that would be a more accurate review. I purchased furniture with a 5 year protection plan. Over the years, the wooden legs of the furniture would get knicks and the cushions had small punctures. Rather than filing a claim each time a knick happened, I waited until towards the end of the policy (actually trying to save them from having to repair my furniture so often!).

    When I finally did decide to file a claim on all the many things that had happened to our furniture of the years, they asked for pictures. This seemed reasonable, so I submitted them and waited for a response. They never got back with me. After several months I followed up with them only to find out that they do not covered multiple problems because it is considered "cumulative" damage. Apparently they would have rathered I call them 20 times over the years! Their wording is tricky and they have no intention of repairing furniture. They find a way to make an excuse for not repairing it.

    Mrs. Moody, thank you for your review. You initially contacted GBS for loss of color on your loveseat and the wood lifting on the legs of you wide chair. After reviewing the photos that you were asked to provide in order to better assess the damages, the seat casings and arm of the loveseat had extensive cracking and a big area where the top layer is completely peeled off. The leg of the wide chair has multiple scuff marks and lifting of the top layer of wood. According to the protection plan, “Damages to covered furniture must be reported within 30 days of discovery…” The nature of the damages are then reviewed and, if warranted, further action is taken to address said damages. Allowing such single accidental incidents to build up over time without making us aware of the damages, then, results in the accumulation, cracking and peeling and other non-warranted damages.

I finally contacted them and was told my claim was denied due it being an accumulation of damage and the way I reported. Let me remind you that all damage is “covered” damage. It’s simply because I should have reported each thing separately.

    Then I was given the solution that I could contact their partnering company to pay out of pocket to have the repairs made. This company finds any way to not complete and approve claims because I still don’t understand. If the damage is covered then why does it matter the way it was reported (separately or combined).

    Mrs. Daughtry, GBS understands your concerns and has taken the opportunity to thoroughly review your claim. You contacted us in regards to the damages on your table top. In relation to the exclusion section of your protection plan, not all damages are warranted. When it comes to you protection plan, each stain or damage must be reported within 30 days of noticing it and each instance must be documented because otherwise, the build up of stains and/or damages will fall under accumulation.

    Based on the technician's report, there was an “accumulation of damages, dents, scratches, heat marks and watermark all over the table top.” That is why, per the terms and conditions, the accumulation of stains and damages listed above are considered non-warranted.

My daughter got on the couch with white nail polish on her toes and fingers and got nail polish on the couch. I contacted the warranty company in July and they told me I should have a technician contacting me to take off the nail polish. A technician did not contact me to come out to our house until November. When the technician finally came out to our house he tried two different cleaners and was unsuccessful. He told me that he would let the warranty company know that he was unable to repair it and that I should contact the warranty company to see what to do next.

    When I contacted them they told me that there was other stains and normal wear and tear (which is wildly inaccurate) and that they would refer me to another cleaning company that I could pay for myself. That is deceptive business practices to make you wait for 4 months for a repair and then claim that they cannot do anything else because of normal wear and tear.

    In April I bought a sectional sofa from a Regency furniture store and bought the extended warranty. After only 3 months on 3 separate cushions there were rips on the piping. 2 small piping rips, and one larger one that had become unthreaded along the corner. I put in this request in October when these piping issues were noticed. Pictures were taken and all information was sent. At first my claim was denied because they said it was “Seam separation” and to contact the Manufacturer, I did so. The manufacturer said it was clearly rips in the piping and not seam separation so I called GBS back. They requested more information, I sent what they needed, and they said the replacement cushion covers would be delivered.

    At this point no callback, no email. It has now been almost 4 months, the last time we spoke they said my cushions should arrive in 6-8 weeks no need to follow up. Since my cushions haven’t arrived I called for an update. They then say my claim was denied, no callback, no update, no anything. I was just waiting for my cushions to arrive then this curveball. They say it was declined because one rip was consistent with animal damage. First of all I don’t have animals. They are assuming from the pictures that small hairs from my shag carpeting, and blonde children means I have an animal. Are the underside of your cushions clean when you have children? I do not have animals.

    So I express this, as each picture shows clear problems with the piping. Also they say only 1 rip looks like animal damage, so if that was the case why weren’t my other 2 cushion replacements sent? I have been waiting to hear back from a manager and am appalled they would deny a claim stating animal damage when I don’t have animals, and they don’t even call to discuss this with me, they just deny the claim and don’t notify the customer or call/email to ask about animals, etc. I am beside myself with my couch having rips by no fault of our own and this company not taking responsibility for a warranty in which I purchased.

    Buyer beware. What a scam. I had a couch for less than 3 months, and the piping has rips and have been fighting this for 4 months because in the end they should replace it. I will ensure to never recommend this company or regency furniture for that matter ever again. So disappointed in the service, follow through and shady ways in which they are declining coverage based on assumptions that have no merit whatsoever.

It was very frustrating and they kept saying I should have received a warranty in the mail that detailed all the exceptions. Of course, I got no warranty, only the brochure provided by Ashley furniture.

    When I went out on the website, there was an advertisement for the warranty and the first sentence included "Covers wear and tear." I requested a refund for the warranty and they said it would be provided at a prorated amount. I don't want the few dollars, I want my furniture fixed.

I am not sure what kind of business they are running but it seems that they just take your money for services they won’t honor. It’s stealing!!! I will be contacting Corporate as well as BBB to file a claim with them.

    Mrs. Totakhil, we value your opinion.

    After reviewing the claim and based on the pictures you submitted of your sectional sofa, there were multiple stains and damages throughout the furniture such as, pen marks, discoloration, peeling of the leather, paint and nail polish. Your protection plan covers stains and damages as a result from a single accidental incident. Though you called in for the punctures to the furniture, caused by your son stabbing the furniture, the damages have built-up over time are non-warranted under the Exclusions section of your furniture plan and therefore not covered.

    We would be more than happy to provide you with some out-of-pocket options should you choose to pursue the repairs.

    I have had to call GBS for a purchase we made on a living room set. The first one was filed Sep 8, 2017, and finally got a claim number on Sep 21. It took 8 phone calls of at least an hour, to multiple different employees, to get resolution. No one really knows what the company rules are. I was told so many different things and none of them were true. Then, it was another 2 weeks before they got someone out to fix it.

    I have called 2 weeks ago to file a second claim. This time I have made 3 phone calls, over an hour each, sent in pictures twice, one guy said they got the pictures and it would be covered, he placed me on hold to finalize the notes and hung up on me. I called back and had to start the process over. And was told by the next person the pictures weren’t good, and they didn't see the damage so it wouldn't be covered. She is closing the claim. Bottom line - the furniture companies push this plan on you when you purchase new furniture. Save your $150 and a lot of headaches. It’s so not worth it.

    I have called GBS 3-4 times now and each time I am met with tons of excuses. I submitted a claim and the first time was told that certain parts of the claim would be denied because it wasn't covered in the warranty. I then received an email asking for pictures of the damage I submitted the claim for, which included bubbling on the headboard. I received no response back so I called again.

    This time I was told that there are too many damages for the claim to be processed even though they had already told me part of the claim couldn't be processed. I told them I did not dispute that but I wanted the other damage repaired. They told me that would not be possible as they were including the claim that was denied to make their decision. I have received nothing but the worst customer service imaginable by both GBS and Ashley Furniture. When I asked to speak to a manager I was placed on hold and then told one would get back to me within 24-72 hours. What type of customer service is that? I asked for the name of the CEO and corporate office information and was not provided that information either. GBS and Ashley Furniture are proving to be scammers.

    I have a GBS warranty on a kitchen dining set from Slumberland. The claim was initiated on 10/6/18. Today is 11/27/18. Still no replacement table. Every time I called to check on the claim I got a different person. Every person had a different take on what the warranty would cover. On at least 3 occasions I was told I would get a callback. Once it did occur. I sent in photos at least 3 times because they couldn't seem to keep up with them. They did agree to replace only the table although I was told by 2 different representatives that it should be replaced as a set. I was, and still am, concerned that they will not honor the warranty on the chairs because I have had so much trouble sorting this out. They emailed a copy of the warranty upon my request for a guarantee that the chairs would still be covered.

    The local Slumberland told me I would have to pay them for pick up of the damaged table, delivery and set up of the new table. 2 different GBS reps told me that the store was responsible, which is what I would expect. The latest GBS rep told me to sort it out with the store. I paid for someone to delivery and set it up the first time around. I never expected to have to do it again with a warranty. It is too heavy and difficult take down the old one, deliver it all back to the store and deliver and set up for me to do it on my own.

    I still have not heard if the table is available. At this point in time I am just sick of it. Unfortunately I have other GBS warranties through Slumberland. I will look at dates and see about the rebate process. I shopped at Slumberland because I had a lovely, saleslady. If she hadn't retired I would probably have had a better experience. Never again a Slumberland purchase for me.

And if it's not resolved to call them back. No one told me they would send someone to mask the stain with chemicals and spread it out further to the rest of my cushion! It still smells like dog urine but worse. They told me I could call the store to purchase a new cushion and that the first person I spoke to shouldn't have told me they will clean the cushion.

    Mrs. Martinez, your feedback is appreciated. A technician was sent out to address the urine stain on your sofa. The stain was removed, per the tech notes, which is what is covered under your protection plan. As outlined in the “Important Exclusions” section of the protection plan, “odors” are not covered which is why we suggested purchasing the cushion from the store as a way to address the odor impediment.

    GBS Enterprises is a scam. I think they operate this company from their kitchen. Bunch of con artists. I purchased a leather couch and a love seat from Ashley Furniture in Vernon Hills, IL in May 2017. The salesperson at Ashley forced me into buying the 5-year protection plan for $300 and he said that it will cover any damages and would be worry free. So the day came when the back of the couch (vinyl covering) was accidentally torn/ripped because of the bad quality vinyl.

    The very next day which is Aug 3rd, I called GBS and filed a claim and after a lot of explaining on how this happened, they finally said they will cover it and will send a technician. The technician did not show up for almost a month and after several follow-up calls, a guy finally showed up and he took pictures of the damaged area and said the company has to order the parts.

    More than a month passed with no response from them, So I called them to check on the status and they said they ordered the parts and are still waiting for the parts from the manufacturer and asked me to check again the following week. I called them many times and they gave me the same answer. But last week when I called to check the status, the lady who answered the phone came back with "sorry, your claim has been denied as it is not a tear and it is a scuff mark which is not covered by their protection plan". But I said, you had already approved the claim and send the technician and even ordered the parts and all these days you were saying that you were waiting for the parts to arrive. I was taken aback on how they changed their tune suddenly. I was frustrated and I told her I need to speak to her manager and she said the manager is busy and that he will call me back within 48 hours.

    It’s been a week since I called them and no one has called me yet. Bunch of thieves, I hope they go out of business very soon and stop conning the people. I think it is a joint scam from both Ashley and GBS. Shame on them for doing business like this. I am also taking this to the consumer court and reporting to BBB as well. I will never ever buy anything from Ashley again, And for the folks reading these reviews, please go elsewhere and save your money from these scammers.

After letting the person on the phone (they do not deserve to be called customer service rep) know that is not acceptable they sent a tech out to my home who immediately said it couldn't be fixed and he recommended replacement that was 4 weeks ago. I called every week to see what is going on and each time I was told to call back in 2 days. This fraudulent company still has NEVER called me.

    I talk to another customer NO service rep who starts huffing and puffing on the phone with an attitude and when I ask to speak to a manager she said there isn't one... clearly smh. Then she changes her attitude and gives excuses about she has breathing problems (whatever) then she proceeds to tell me they have to take all inbound calls before reaching out to customers and making outbound calls which for a lack of a better word is stupid.

    Mrs. Pupo, we value your feedback. As it relates to the stains and damages on your furniture for which you contacted GBS, a technician was assigned to your claim. Per the technician’s report and photos, there was an “accumulation of burns, scratches, peeling and marker stains” as well as “broken tracks on right side facing top drawer” of the dresser. Moreover, there is also an “accumulation of peeling and scratches on the footrest of the bed”.

    Your protection plan covers for various stains or damages that occur in one incident and is reported within 30 days of noticing it. Based on the technician’s report, the photos, and what your plan covers, these damages are non-warranted because they are an accumulation of multiple stains over time.

    I purchased a 5 year GBS Protection Plan for $149 upon purchasing a sofa and was told it would cover punctures, stains from suntan lotion, etc. Eighteen months later, my wife accidentally punctured the edge of the cushion upon picking up clothes on a metal hanger in which the hanger punctured the cushion causing a tear in it. Upon filing a claim, the GBS representative stated that the puncture tear was not covered as the puncture caused a seam separation which was not covered. Later I wanted to file a claim for my grandchildren causing a stain on two of the cushions from suntan lotion getting on the sofa from their legs. GBS also denied this claim as they stated it was an accumulated stain that was also excluded. If you read their warranty plan, they can basically deny any claim and you do not have any avenue of appeal. Save your money and do not bother with any GBS warranty protection plan.

    A screw came out of the sofa bed or frame that attaches to the couch. I called GBS and it was a good experience with the rep I spoke with. It just took a few minutes. Then I got a call the next day and the people were out within two days. So in three days, I got the service. They reinforced the couch to the frame, the bed part. And they did both sides so the other side wouldn't have the problem either. It was pretty quick compared the first time I called where they told me I didn't have a claim. Then a week later, somebody called and said I had a claim, the person I talked to first was wrong, and that somebody would be calling me. A couple of weeks went by and I called them back, and I said nobody called. A week later, somebody finally called. So, it took me about a month to get anything done.

    The service was needed to be done immediately and we spent a month with the couch in the condition that it was in. What happened was that a baby puked on my couch so we were smelling it for a long time. I was trying to clean it myself which made it worse. But they came out, and they did it, and it was perfect after. I was not there when they came but my older kids who were there said the people who came were helpful.

    The cushions that were out were not replaced though. They said normal wear and tear was not covered. But other than that, the protection plan has been all right. I have a complete set of couch, loveseat and chair covered, and I'm glad I have them protected. I only have the couch for a month, and something happened.

They first refused to cover it sight unseen, claiming it is a "hardware problem" and that is not covered. They then looked at photos I sent in and came up with yet another excuse when they realized that I was right - it was not a hardware problem.

Upon reviewing the photos that we received from you, shows a hole in the outside arm of the sofa, in which you were unsure how it happened. Although, your protection plan covers “rips, tears and punctures” from a single incident, the damage in the photos indicates material is missing or has frayed, which is not covered under your protection plan. Additionally, there discoloration on the seats of the loveseat. Discoloration is listed in the protection plan under the "Important Exclusions," therefore, the damages are non-warranted for this claim.

She was very accommodating in setting up a date when somebody could come out. I told her that when I unzip the cushion cover, there were no stains there. I know the dog did not do anything on my couch and she’s not allowed on it. So, I don’t know what that horrible smell is.

    It wasn't long when GBS dispatched the technician. However, they didn't have anybody in-state and so I had to wait an additional week. The technician who came was fine and the smell was gone now.

    The mechanism for the reclining loveseat was damaged, so it hit the ground whenever anyone sat on the chair and it didn't close or open properly. The bench with the dining room table also had a long crack in the center, which was in the actual frame of the wood. I have a GBS Warranty protection plan that covers my sofa and dining room set, so I called them for a service request. The customer service representative was great and very knowledgeable. However, they didn't have any of my information, even though it was supposed to be registered when I purchased the plan. So I had to go back to the store and get a ton of documents and email them. Somebody was supposed to follow up with me, but no one ever did. I ended up having to call back three weeks later and get the thing restarted.

    Once GBS filed it, somebody was out to my house in about two days, and it was quick. The guy came and said he was going to use wood glue to fix the chair and paint over and varnish it. It really looked like he painted over the crack, so the crack is still there and the chair is still damaged.

    We had weird spots that came up on our couch and it was fixed by GBS. My husband did not that they were very, very picky about what they were gonna do and what they weren’t gonna do. He wasn’t really happy with that. For example, when we called, they had to know exactly where the spot was and if we missed telling them a spot, they wouldn’t clean it. They’re like, “We could only clean exactly what you told us where the spot was.”

    We missed two spots and they didn’t clean it. They didn’t clean the whole couch and the spots have come back. But aside from that the guys that came out were nice. We didn’t have a problem with them. Their hands were just tied so they couldn't do anything that wasn't stated in the actual claim. They didn’t go above and beyond and made the customer satisfied.

    Mrs. Armatrout, thank you for your business and your review. After reviewing your claim, it is important to note that our protection plans are not a cleaning service, but provide service for covered stains or damages that have been reported to GBS based on the terms and conditions of the furniture protection plan. The technicians that we assign can only provide service for the furniture that is listed on their work order. This is the reason for which we ask that all stained or damaged furniture be reported to GBS, therefore we can make the best decision possible under the guidelines of your coverage. This provides our customers with the best and most accurate service and information possible.

    Poor communication, and possibly the most useless product we have ever purchased. Took 3 months for someone to come out and look at our furniture. My wife and I took days off of work just to finally be able to get our stuff looked at. But each time they would call and schedule. Never a sorry said. Finally after getting someone to finally show up we get a call 2 weeks later saying our stains were not covered because there was more than one. They didn't even offer to take care of one stain. All they offer is to provide you with their terms and conditions.

    They did say they could send someone out to clean our furniture but we would have to pay for it. Honestly if I offered this company's services to my customers I would be embarrassed. So when the guy at Ashley Furniture tries to sale you a cleaning plan and says, "If you ever get any stains we will come clean them. Just buy this service plan." Do not buy it!!! It has been so frustrating dealing with GBS. Never again. We have ask for a refund and will steer way clear of GBS services in the future.

    We bought a warranty which is serviced through GBS. We made a claim in May. It is now the end of September and we still have no resolution. We have called numerous times (18 and counting). We are always told we will receive a call back. We have only had 1 return call the entire process so far and they called our secondary phone number (of course). They have dispatched a tech after about a month. The guy came out and said he was not certified in this brand of chair. He took pictures, recorded some video and said he would note that we need a specific tech certified in this manufacturer. A couple months later after a lot of back and forth they told us they ordered 3 parts. Only 1 ever came in. It’s the control board for the user. I’m not a professional but I’m certain this piece will not fix the problems.

    They sent out a second tech who told us the same as the first. He’s not certified. After calling back we asked why they keep sending out someone who can’t fix the chair. We also discussed the lack of parts sent out. They again told us the manager is now involved and we will receive a call back as our claim is a top priority. The latest we would receive a call is in a few days. It’s now been a week and no return call. We aren’t unreasonable. We want this extremely expensive chair purchased with an expensive warranty to be fixed so we can use it, replaced with the same model or give us a credit to the store for the value so we can get something else. We are entering month 6 of this process. Which in my opinion is unacceptable.

    I will say the people who take the initial calls are all professional (except for the couple of them that hung up on us after placing us on hold for over 30 minutes) but most of the interactions have been pleasant. We know it’s not the lady’s fault that answer the phones that the company won’t live up to the plan we purchased. And we try our best not to let our frustrations be taken out on the call center people receiving the calls. They seem to express concerns but never seem to get anywhere. We now have the managers phone number and we try to call him directly but it’s nearly impossible to get him on the line. I’m sure that’s by design.

    It puts us in a tough position. Based on the experience I wouldn’t ever want to purchase another warrant backed by GBS. But if we didn’t have it we would be in an even worse position. If I could give them zero stars I would. It feels like they want to make this an impossible task so we may give up and just take the loss. But we aren’t the type of people to just quit. We paid for the insurance on it and we want what we paid for.
