I purchased the GBS furniture protection against accidental damage. I had a pet stain on my couch and I called GBS. They dispatched a service tech the next day to clean it. He answered all the questions, and he was in and out. He resolved the issue in 10 minutes. They scheduled the service conveniently, they were nice and they gave us more information on the services if we had any issues. The service was perfect. GBS is a great investment to pay the extra warranty on it and it will cover you for a very long time. I would definitely recommend them.

I don’t plan to ever buy warranty services for my furniture ever again if the servicer is GBS. Not they are inept, lazy and have zero knowledge of their procedures. This the 3rd time my recliner has had to be repaired and every time the experience has gotten worse and worse! Longer and longer. Less responsive and less knowledgeable. It’s seems that they only have one or two people working there also! This time they took a month to get notified that a part was in stock and they called me today and told me they finally found it. But don’t know where they found it?! In the US or overseas! That they couldn’t tell me but they thought it will take another 3-6 weeks for it to be sent to me! Then they’re probably going to schedule one of their ridiculous service people to come and install it, which will probably take another 5 more weeks. So what, 3 months for a freaking plug?! Absolutely ridiculous. Will never work with these people again!

Below you will find the process I went through GBS. I called into Ashley Furniture on Monday Feb 25 for a pee stain (from our child). At the end of the call, I was provided case #**. 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 have spent over $600 on their protection plans from Ashley Furniture, I had a problem with my kids coloring on my sofa covers and placed a claim in October 2018. They have not helped me whatsoever. I have called over 20 times and they can't find the claim and act like they will help then no help, they are a ridiculous company and a huge waste of money. I have filed a complaint with the better business bureau and have demanded my money back. If I have to get an attorney I will for my next step.

Mrs. Morgan, thank you for your review. You contacted us for the markings to multiple seat casings, the bedding of your sofa and water damage to the USB of your night stand. Once we received the photos that we requested from you, the damages displayed are an accumulation and buildup of multiple occurrences over time. Also, USB ports are also non-warranted under the protection plan.
Should you decide to have the damages repaired, we would be more than happy to provide you with some out of pocket options for technicians in your area.

I have a small, 1/2 inch, tear on my reclining sofa foot rest just purchased 4 months ago. Per Ashley Home Funiture's warranty tears, punctures and rips are covered. I sent photos along with a copy of the warranty and GBS is denying stating fabric is missing. This "rip" "tear" can close together. I discussed with the representative if the policy states tears what is GBS definition of this word to them. The dictionary says tear means, rip or torn something apart or to pieces. Come on GBS and Ashley Furniture honor your warranty. Worst furniture store and worst warranty I have ever been subjected too. Stay away from both of these terrible companies.

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.

I called GBS Warranty Services, Deerfield Beach, Florida in Dec. 2018 and filed a claim to have a serious scratch repaired to my dining room table. The technician came out and took a picture of the scratch I pointed out then proceeded to take several picture of the entire table top. There are some minor scratches on the table top but they were not part of the claim. We only wanted the one major scratch repaired. I never heard from the company so I called on Feb. 25, 2019 and was told the claim had been denied. They said the scratch could not be repaired since there were other scratches and gouges on the table top. The table was manufactured to make it look distressed with nicks and marks which were done on purpose. Do not buy furniture at Ashley Furniture or another company that has warranty protection from this GBS Warranty Services. All they do is take up your time by sending a tech out then deny the claim.

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.”
We would be more than happy to provide you with some information should you choose to pursue the repairs prior to us servicing the reported damage. However, that would be an out of pocket expense.

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. I will NOT be signing this form, and you will continue to be liable for everything covered in my insurance plan for the duration of the five-year contract, even if it takes a lawsuit!

Mrs. Smith, thank you for your review. You contacted GBS because of the scratches to the bottom of both your dresser and bed frame. We sent a technician to inspect and possibly repair the damages. According to the photos and the report, there is a buildup of scratches that have happened over time on both pieces of furniture. This buildup of damages is referred to as accumulation and is non-warranted under your protection plan.
The amount that was reflected in the Release Of Claims, is the remaining prorated amount based on the $129.99 that you paid. This process is standard procedure as outlined in your protection plan.

I submitted a claim in November 2018 (it's now Feb 2019). I heard nothing. I called after the holidays only to find there was no record of my original claim so I refiled. 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. Such a roundabout waste of time and I will be following up to resolve this.

Mrs. Sweetser, we appreciate your feedback. You contacted GBS about the peeling of the finish on your cocktail table. After reviewing your call, you were told that the table would be replaced based on the agent’s experience. Your claim was since deemed non-warranted due to the accumulation of the damages that cannot be attributed to one single occurrence. As a good faith gesture, we are in the process of revising your claim and retrieving some information in order to move forward with a resolution. You will be contacted shortly.

Your purchase date is 4/2/17 and the date that the call was placed to GBS is 1/26/19. Your protection plan states that all damages must be reported within 30 days if noticing it. On the call you stated that the damages have been gradually happening and you contacted us when it was “disturbing to the eye.” Damages reported beyond the 30 day time frame are considered an accumulation.

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. Omerovic we appreciate your feedback. You contacted us in regard to the breakage and loose hardware to your headboard, foot board, and rails. We asked for photos in order to have a better understanding of the damages and make the best decision moving forward. After reviewing the photos, and as a good faith gesture, we have gone ahead and issued a full replacement and sent the work order over to be processed.
The dealer through which you made your purchase will be contacting you to set up the replacement.

I would give no stars if I could. DO NOT GET THIS PROTECTION PLAN. I have been working with GBS on three different claims. I had some stitching rip, and they told me it wasn't covered. I had to go and pull out the Protection Plan and find where it did state that the stitching was covered. Then I needed some seat casings replaced due to stains, for the first one it took from June 2016 to July 2017 to get any replacement parts. I now have another claim going for stains and have been waiting 8 months for any news. I have to call them monthly to keep asking what is going on with the claim. If not, I would never get any resolution.

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. Your retailer should be getting in contact with you soon.

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.

Mrs. Morrow, we thank you for your review. You contacted us because of some pet urine and mechanism issues on your sofa. Since then, we have requested for a technician to go out to repair the damages. Based on the technician report that we recently received, the problem has been addressed and corrected. We appreciate your business and look forward to assisting you should you need us in the future.

I purchased a protection plan from GBS to cover a sofa and a recliner. When the recliner's switch broke, I called them.

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.

Purchased a 5 Year warranty. After a year, I needed a repair of a table to fix a chip. This was done well, but the repair started to fade. I waited until it was unacceptable, but they denied my claim because I did not report it right away. In addition, they would not repair further damages until I corrected this issue, essentially negating my contract. This was all done because I would not lie about the date, and save them from consistently coming out for repair work.

Mr. Watts, thank you for your review. You contacted us to report fading on your tabletop as well as gouges caused by your daughter while playing with a fork. After reviewing the call, when asked about what time the damages were noticed, you stated that you noticed it about two months ago but didn’t have time to report it until now. In your protection plan, it states that “Damages to covered furniture must be reported within 30 days of discovery…” Being that the damages were reported two months later, they were deemed non-warranted under your protection plan.
We would be more than happy to provide you with some information for technicians in your area so that you can pursue the repairs to your tabletop as an out of pocket expense, should you choose.

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.

Mrs. Wulf, we appreciate your feedback and are glad that we were able to effectively assist you with repairing the stains to your area rug. Though cleaning the entire rug is a good suggestion, your protection plan covers accidental instances and is different from a cleaning service which provides overall cleanings. As outlined, your protection plan “…does not eliminate the need for routine care and maintenance of your furniture…” We strongly suggest periodic cleanings on your end in order to maintain the integrity and longevity of your area rug.
We greatly appreciate your input and are more than happy to assist you should you need further assistance.

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.
Should you decide to pursue the repair of the damages listed above, we would be more than happy to provide you with some out of pocket options.

I went online to file a claim at the end of November for damage done to my dining room table. I reported the damage when it was noticed. A technician came out to take pictures and after weeks I still had not heard anything back. 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). I reported the damage I noticed and when I noticed it. I simply inspected the table and file a claim after noticing a paint chip on the top. I’m highly disappointed with this company.

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.

When we purchased our leather sectional couch from Ashley Furniture they highly recommended that we get this 5 year protection plan that would cover any damage done to the couch. 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. So I got ripped off for buying a warranty that they had no intention of following through with.

Mr. Standard, thank you for your review. Your original claim was to remove the nail polish from your sectional sofa and loveseat. Based on the technician report and pictures, there were “a lot of other stains and scratches along the whole sectional” which is considered an accumulation of stains. Your protection plan, listed under the Important Exclusions section, does not cover accumulation. We apologize for any inconveniences you have experienced.

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.

Mrs. Maniscalco, we appreciate your review. You contacted us about rips in the seat cushions of your sofa and loveseat. You were advised to contact the manufacturer because you reported that the damages occurred within 6 months of purchase and your warranty suggests that “...Any claim that is covered or should be covered by he manufacturer's or store warranty...” should be referred accordingly. You were then redirected to GBS and based on the damages that were depicted in the photos that you sent in, the damages are considered non-warranted due to the nature of the fabric.
We are currently in the process of reviewing your claim in order to provide some additional assistance and will contact you once the best course of action, if any, will be taken.

Purchased bedroom set for my daughter from Ashley Furniture and the extended warranty. Was provided a brochure and salesperson said all the examples I gave was covered. Put in a claim as wood on dresser was bubbling because my daughter left a soda on top. Also, she spilled a plug in and paint color was taken off. Other stains and discolorations were on nightstand from normal use. Contacted company, they sent someone out who said items would need to go to a warehouse, be stripped and redone. He took pictures and said someone would call. Waited two days and finally called them.
I was told because I had normal wear and tear and it was not covered because it has to be an accident. Tried to explain and representative just kept reading a disclosure. I should have just said "accident" and maybe I could have got somewhere. They said they couldn't fix the part that was an accident because I said items had normal wear and tear. 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. People who buy the warranties should make sure they call after every little nick in the furniture. If you wait until something big happens, those nicks will invalidate your warranty.

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.

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.

This company does not value their customers. Very deceiving and are scam artists. It took several days just to get my claimed filed for my dog urinating on my couch, then they tell me, "We will send someone out to "clean" your couch cushion." 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. They dont get rid of the odor from the dog urine just the "stain"! Customer service reps are rude and unknowledgeable, very very dissatisfied with this so called company who "values" their customers. Then when asked to speak to manager she said none are available and she doesn't know when they will get back to me! I'm canceling my warranty!

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.
Your compensation is currently being processed as requested.

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 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 ask if I can make the claim because my bed was scratched moving from home and tell me that that does not cover me. I think I've never felt so ripped off.

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.
We would be more then happy to provide some options for businesses in your area that might be able to assist for an out of pocket expense.

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.

Robert, your feedback is appreciated. You contacted us in regard to the damages to your furniture. The pictures that we received from you show (what appear to be) watermarks and improper cleaning methods on the left facing seat cushion. According to your protection plan, seam separation and an accumulation or build up of stains or damages are excluded from coverage and deemed non-warranted.

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. Anybody especially those with kids should always get the protection plan.

Do not ever buy this warranty program! They refused to honor my warranty when my dining room chair broke. They claimed it was a "manufacturing defect" and I should go to the manufacturer to complain - even though the original warranty expired over six months ago. 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. So they came up with another excuse, but only after I waited for over two weeks for them to respond, and they never did, until I called them. Do not use them. They should not be in business.

I called back and was told the top of the receipt was not visible; needed to resubmit the receipt. Sent the receipt again and was told the claim was denied because from the photos it looks like the leather and cushion are missing. REALLY!! If someone took the time to come out and look at the sofa you would see it's a tear and nothing is missing. I honestly believe GBS had no intention of repairing the sofa. Customer service is horrible.

We appreciate you taking the time out to inform us of your recent experience. 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.

The GBS Warranty Services rep told me that since I have a dog, it would urinate on the couch and since it's cloth, the stain would be covered but I have to call as soon as I can.

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. The people I spoke to were very kind and were good at their jobs, but the service itself wasn't great. Getting a GBS warranty is not worth it.

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.

I filed a request with GBS because I had some issues with my furniture and I was disappointed. I had to jump through hoops just to get something done. The brochure and the salesperson said A, B and C are covered when it's only A and B, which I find very disheartening and discouraging. It says specifically in the warranty that electrical components are covered yet a USB plug is not considered and I don't understand that because I plug a USB and it transfers electricity from the plug into the device that I'm charging. That's electrical, by every shade of the definition.
It's also dishearting that I call for somebody to come out and fix something and they ask me if I have the parts. By the time I had taken pictures and sent everything to them, it took them a week and a half for the tech to come in and because I didn't have the parts, all they did was take pictures and leave which is asinine ridiculous. GBS needs to tighten it up. I'm very dissatisfied and people need to know about it 'cause it sucks. GBS needs to tighten it up.

Jim, would like to thank you for taking the time to express your concerns regarding your recent claim. Your Furniture Protection Plan covers at the expiration of the original manufacturer's or store's warranty, failure of motors and associated components. This refers to the wires and cables connected to the functionality of the reclining mechanism. If it does not work to provide control or power to the reclining capabilities, then it is not covered. USB ports that are used for accessories do not fall under the covered portions because it is used to power outside devices.
We apologize for any inconveniences you have experienced and have reached out to your retailer. Since it has been less than a year from the date of purchase, you may be covered for this damage under your manufacturer's warranty. The Customer Care Department can be contacted at 866-436-3388.

Then, they sent a technician out to do the service but then, when he looked at the fabric on the couch, he said that it was too delicate and it needed to be dry cleaned or the cushion cover needed to be replaced because that was covered as well under our warranty.
If I couldn’t clean it, then they’d replace it, but he said that I was not supposed to get it that wet. He didn’t have any dry clean stuff and he said he was gonna report back that he was unable to clean it. He was gonna let the company know and they were gonna call us back, but they haven’t called us back yet. Nonetheless, I tell people to get GBS Warranty. We have a headboard on the bed and the technicians came out and cleaned that. GBS is efficient in getting people out in a timely manner.

Did not hear anything for the next several weeks so I called and they verified that they did receive my emails and I will get a call regarding the outcome. Waited another week and finally I just called. My claim was processed over the phone. Of course denied! I was asked a question and I answered it honestly regarding a tear in my leather loveseat. I said it was not at the inseam however the customer service rep said it was at the inseam. (Although the cushion is clearly bulging from the center of cushion.) Everything was said and done in a way as if I was being untruthful and in a way to avoid approving the claim. Never will I pay for warranty service from GBS!!!

I called in a claim two weeks ago and gave all my information to the agent on the phone because she said that our warranty did not show up in their system. Then, I emailed her our invoice with all the furniture we purchased while I was on the phone with the agent. She said she would start my claim and call me within 72 hours. They never called. Two weeks later I called back and they said they did not put my invoice with the paperwork, so it will take another 5 to 7 business days to input my information into their system. It takes a week for them to do data entry and guess what? My claim still will not be started. The agents do not speak great English, I've had difficulty understanding them and they become rude when questioned why it takes 3 weeks to file a claim with their company. So, it will be a month before a claim can be filed with this company. And, there's no telling how long it will be before the furniture is repaired?

I purchased the GBS Warranty sofa protector plan. Then, I suddenly saw some leather damage on my electric sofa. I called for repair and within three days, a service technician visited the house. He checked the total sofa condition and what is qualified and not. He said everything is under the coverage so they will order the parts and it will take three days to dispatch. He said that he will come back in two days. After that, he never showed up. My request is still pending and not resolved and I’m still waiting for them to show up. But, I’m satisfied with their customer service.

Our dog had gotten sick and some of the diet from his food has left a little bit of a mark on the couch. We were told it was better not to clean it with normal furniture or upholstery cleaner and just call GBS so I did. They needed some number from our receipt and we told them which piece of furniture was on there. We called later in the evening and the next day, I had a call from a guy to set up an appointment to come out and do it. He was out here the day after he called and it was super quick.
When he came out, he was nice, cordial, and courteous. He looked everything over and inspected it. Also, he asked us what had happened and asked if we had put cleaner on it or anything like that. We told him that we hadn’t per the furniture store recommendation. He asked us to put the dogs up for a little bit and he went ahead and cleaned it up. He made sure the stain was gone and told us to make sure to let it dry before anybody sat down on it due to a possibility of creating skin irritation.

I got the GBS Warranty protection plan for my indoor sofa. When there was a stain on the sofa, I submitted a claim with them and had a great experience with their rep. She processed the claim then had that scheduled for a cleaning within a few days. In about three or four days. the cleaning company came out. But I called a few days later to let GBS know that I was really disappointed with the technicians that were sent out. They were at my home for five minutes or less and they both were kind of gruff. They were polite but they were not that well-dressed and smelled of alcohol. So, I was mildly uncomfortable having them in my home because of the alcohol smell on their breath.
Other than that, the techs were pretty quick. They washed the entire furniture, took a picture, and said it was resolved. But as soon as it dried within a couple of hours, the stain was still there. So, I called GBS the next day and they were very helpful in following up. I sent some photos along to show them that the stain was still there and they sent me a replacement fabric cushion for my couch. So, I had no problems with GBS at all.
Having the warranty gives me a nice peace of mind and it was worth my value that I purchased from Jordan's Furniture. I have three little kids and it's comforting knowing that if I have a big stain, I can have it taken care of. In fact, I had them come out a few months ago for another stain on the couch and they had to send the technician twice. The first time didn't resolve the stain, but the second time, it did. So, everything's good.

I had some wood frame cracking due to normal use of my cheaply made furniture chairs which, of course, were quite expensive. Add to it a very expensive GBS Warranty service which seemed to cover everything in the store. Looking at the contract however, nothing seems to be covered or can easily be passed off as "use or abuse". After digging up the paperwork I had to submit a claim 3 times before I received a response of "not covered - please purchase new furniture or take it to these repair companies." The contract says they will not cover furniture repaired by unauthorized repair companies, so who knows if this will void it. Keep the money in your pocket and don't participate in this sham!

We are extremely sorry to hear about this and even more sorry to disappoint a customer. We want to sincerely apologize for your negative experience. The plan is of great value. So, we hope you will give us an opportunity to handle a Covered claim in the future.

GBS Warranty said that it would cover any problems that we had with two couches and a rug in terms of spots, stains, rips, tears, and not only would they be good for us, but they would also replace the couch or the rug if they couldn't fix it. It sounded pretty comprehensive and we've never taken that insurance before. But we thought that the couch was an expensive furniture, and so was the rug, so we went ahead and purchased the warranty from GBS.
We have two older poodles, then we got this new poodle that came from an abusive situation and she was marking. She marked her territory on the new couch, but I didn't realize that she did it until I went in there to sit down. It wasn't wet, but I smelled it and I knew what it was 'cause I've had dogs my whole life. The new poodle urinated between two cushions and it went through into the foam core, which absorbed it. I said, "Well, thank goodness, we got this insurance." We called GBS and the rep was very nice. She said she'll get somebody out but wasn't sure which day. I told her as soon as possible would be great . It smells in there and I can't leave it like that.
She said that they'll take the cushion cover off of the cushion, and the feather thing off. It made sense at that time 'cause that was what smelled, but it was hard to take them both off because the end one is not a perfect square and it fits to the arm. We went through a lot to get them off, only to find out that it was not only them that smells, but the foam core. Now, I've got six pieces in absence. I’ve got two covers, two feather covers, and two foam cores that I've taken, put down into the basement and await for the man to come. He came and my husband said that the guy was there for 20 minutes. My husband brought the pieces up, and the guy sprayed on them and said to put them outside and they'll dry.
When I got home, the pieces were hanging on our picket fence. The foam was standing on end. We thought that it was hunky-dory. When we were all set, we brought the pieces in. I got a really good sniffer, and I said that it still smelled. The guy was only here 20 minutes and how could he clean that within 20 minutes. But with today's cleaning, maybe they can. We realized that we could not put it back in there so I called The Dump and told them what happened but they told me I have take that up with GBS.
I called GBS, told them my whole sordid story, and they said they don't cover smells. That was crazy because nobody could live with this. What was the sense of the insurance when they didn't spend any time cleaning it and it was quite big to do. I said that I was told at The Dump that GBS would cover all this. Then the lady that sold us the couch from The Dump called and said that I got her in trouble because that she lied to me and said GBS would cover it. I said to her that I would just assume if a dog or a human being or a baby soils her couch, and she cleaned it but it still stinks then it's not clean. I was told to read the fine print so it was extremely frustrating. We were stuck and there was nothing we could do about it.
We have a swimming pool. My husband went to Petco and got for $12 a gallon of some kind of a chemical thing that guaranteed to take the smell out. He sprayed that on everything, saturated everything, and when it all dried, it still smelled. Smelled of that and the chemical now. He took the big foam cores, cushions and foam rubber then put them in the pool with some laundry dish thing and soaked them. Then, he put them on their side and because we couldn't bring them up, they tore every time he tried to move them because they were so heavy. They absorbed an amazing amount of water.
I took the two feather inserts to the cleaners and I had them dry cleaned which cost $54. I took the actual fabric of the couch covers, and put them in the washing machine. There's a new detergent called Persil and I am not exaggerating when I tell you that I washed those couch covers seven times to get the smell out. I kept washing them in cold water, turned out a beautiful smell. The stuff I picked up from the cleaners for $54 turned out great. My husband could not get the foam dry so he put it in the garage on a board, and then he put another board on top of it and went over it with the car to get the water out of the foam. Then we dried it for three days and hoisted it in the garage. There is no more smell. We fought everything back into the cushions, and we are now enjoying the couch.
GBS is not our friend and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. I'd like GBS to reimburse us for the price of cleaning and not to mention, the frustration of doing all these ourselves. They're lemons and they're not a good call. They didn't take care of us and they left us unsatisfied. It didn't seem to bother them one bit, and they just said that I gotta read the small print, and the small print says it doesn't cover smells. It was not pointed out to us at The Dump and it sounded like such an incredible deal that we couldn't pass that up. But the whole policy should be rewritten, and they should cover smells. GBS has no accountability and the insurance was useless so we had to do it all ourselves. I'm only happy to say we loved the couch, and we are so happy to have it back.

When I purchased my first piece of furniture through Ashley Furniture, I purchased a protection plan with it and had wonderful experience from the provider. I was able to call them when I had an issue arise and it was taken care of. So, when I purchased a fairly expensive couch, also from Ashley Furniture, I decided to get a protection plan for that as well. Ashley Furniture also seemed to push buying the plan. They carried GBS Warranty at the time, so I called them to file the request and I had a good experience with their reps. But everything after that was not good.
I filed a claim and when I initially called, I offered to send them the pictures that I took so they would know what to look at right when they were coming here. It was kind of hard to describe which areas of the couch were fine and which had problems, because when you're looking at it, you're thinking one thing and the person on the phone might be thinking another thing. But they didn't let me send them the pictures.
Then, they sent out a technician quickly and he came out when they said he would come out. My mother was at the house when he came and he didn't give her a good impression. He was cleaning some areas but he was addressing areas that weren't the areas I was concerned with. And when he tried cleaning the areas that I was concerned with, I don't think anything was happening. He was also saying maybe it had something to do with the manufacturer. But we only had the couch for a few months and I think something must've gotten on it that I am not certain of. So, I felt like I paid $500 for a protection plan and I wasn't getting that out of it.
Then, I didn't hear anything from GBS for weeks after he came out. I had to call them at least two weeks later to see what the status was and there was a lot of confusion. My husband called them back later in the day, then I texted that person that he talked to and I got a different story from the person I talked to earlier in the day. So, there was a sort of disorganization and I felt like the status of the claim was not updated accurately. I knew that my claim was already closed because I was getting my couch replaced but when Ashley Furniture contacted me, they were saying that they had an additional claim open. But it ended up being the one that I filed for which I was getting a new couch.
Overall, I bought the plan so that if something happened to the couch, it was gonna be covered. And in the end, it sort of resulted in that. But extreme measures almost had to be taken in order for that to happen. So, I was pretty dissatisfied with my experience.I had to go above and beyond to get what I was promised when I purchased the warranty. Their process was also really disorganized. The tech they sent wasn't prepared when he came out and maybe if he was more prepared and they let me send the pictures, things would have gone differently.
In comparison, the first company I worked with seemed a little more organized. They wanted pictures and different things like that, so they were more prepared when they came out to do the service. But I would also say that with that one, the issue was something super minor where they could send just a new cushion cover. So part of me thinks that they're good for their word if what they have to fix isn't a big deal. Still, I don't know if I would spend any extra $500 to do it again. Also, the first policy that I purchased was fairly cheap, so getting repairs would've been cheaper. Whereas with GBS, I felt like they were trying to do whatever they could to scoot around the issue so they didn't have to provide a service other than coming out and wiping down the couch.

I got the accidental damage protection plan of GBS Warranty Services for my couch from the furniture store because we have a family and my daughters were gonna spill some milk or jump on the couch. One time, the wood at the bottom of the couch broke. I called GBS to schedule someone to come out and fix it, and I didn't wait long for somebody to answer the phone. Once the reps answered, they got all the information that was needed. Then, within the next two days, the technician called me and let me know when he was coming out. The service went well and he did a good job in fixing the couch. We still hear a crack in the couch but other than that, it's working fine so far.
But my main concern with the technician was that when he came, he entered as soon as my daughter opened the door for him and, without saying a word, he roamed around the house like it was his own house. He also opened the door of the bedroom where my wife was. At that moment, my wife didn’t know who that guy was and I wasn’t home to assess the situation. Nevertheless, our GBS warranty is worth having because throughout the years that we have our furniture, something could happen to it, like getting a spill or a part of it breaking.

I purchased a warranty protection plan with GBS Warranty Services and it said that it would cover any damage other than pet damage. Something spilled on the furniture and it wouldn’t come clean with what I did. It was fine with their customer service rep when I filed my request. They took all the information and someone had to call a couple of days later to schedule the appointment. They called right before they came and they showed up in the timeframe that they said that they were going to. They did exactly what they said they were gonna do. However, when they came out the first time to clean, the stain didn’t come out and when I purchased the protection, it said that if they couldn’t get the stain out, they would replace it. The stain didn’t come out and something got spilled on a different area. When the guy came to clean the first area, he said that I had to call and make a second claim with that one. He wouldn’t clean it right then.
I went through the whole process again and I had to wait and have someone come out. The stain didn’t come out on the first one and I had to send the pictures, which I did twice, but I never got a response from it. I was waiting for them to respond to that, but they were coming out to do the second stain. And when the guy came, he was shown what the first guy did and he cleaned both areas. While he was cleaning, he made scratches in the material. I had called back again and said that I hadn’t heard anything from my pictures that I sent from the stains not coming out. The girl found the pictures and she had me send her pictures of the scratch mark. I’m now waiting for a response to that.
I don’t feel comfortable about the GBS protection plan. They said they would come out as many times as they want, but I feel like it was a waste of time for that first technician not to clean both areas. Also, there wouldn’t have been a scratch in it except it was overkill on the company having to send somebody out again when he was right there. It was weird to have me wait for a whole another week again. He should have called the company right then and said that there was another spill. They could have opened another claim so he can clean it while he was here. It would have been more efficient for the company and for me to have somebody plan to stay home when he was right there.

A guy came out and fixed it, but he should have said that he can't fix it because he’s not done yet. He did a terrible work. He took the whole couch apart and then basically put it back together. All the staples are coming undone and what I wanted done wasn’t done.
I took pictures when they sold it to me. They said it was made out of wood. It's part of a board. When he took it apart, I took pictures of it and that’s just gonna add fuel to the fire. It's a flashboard. It was one of the highest pieces of furniture they had in the store, just the design, the lineup and who made it. I thought that I paid for what I get but that doesn’t always ring true today.
The only part replaced was the ripped leather marks that were on it. The communication when the original tech came out of Ashley’s Furniture to look at it, I said that it's ripped on two spots and the back of the thing was broken. But when the tech came out, he only had one work order so the communication between GBS, Ashley’s and me is an F+.
The guy that came here as a tech said that he got 10 years of experience but he said that he can only do one thing. I told him that I don’t want him to do anything until we get a feel for it all and he's not allowed in my house. It was not rocket science, but they made it very difficult. I miss a day at work, then another day, when they can do it all in one day. I had to get on my phone and had the connection fit. I had to literally yell at the lady on the phone and at the end of it, told her that I need to speak to a supervisor.
I had to educate her and said to her that she's not in position where she needs to take an executive decision. I told her that I'm not trying to tell her how to do her job, but what she's gonna do is submit a new work order, put me on hold, call her supervisor and tell him she's gonna submit two work orders to get three things done. In doing that, she came back, apologized and said that she got me a new work order with five items that need repair that the technician can look at. She added that she scheduled them for two hours.
I told her that last time, the guy was here for six hours and only got two things done. She didn’t get it. I asked her to go back and look at the work order for the guy that came in and he’ll tell her he charged AHS seven hours to fix those three things and now she has two hours to fix five things. But I said that I'll let them fix it, but if it's not up to standard, I want a replacement. But if they want to play hardball, then they can take it all back but I want my money back and take my business elsewhere.
The tech was just a big old cluster so I'm very disappointed. I called him out to come back from Ashley’s to look at it. He struck it all up and at the end of the day, they said that they're gonna come out on Thursday. And then the Consumer Reports called me and said that they like to set it. They asked me what seems to be the problem and it seems I don’t want a tech to do the repairs. But then, I never refused the tech from doing the service but I wanted him to fix it.
I was pissed and told the person on the phone that I don’t appreciate being called a liar but now I'm calling him a liar because why is it I've had a warranty insurance in my home before and there was no issue and now there's an issue. I worked hard for the things I have and I wanna be treated the way I treat other people so I welcomed the GBS technician to my home to work on my furniture and he did poor workmanship. It's unacceptable. With that all being said I would never buy furniture from Ashley’s again as long as I live and I'm gonna tell all my friends including anybody I know never to buy furniture from them because of its worst service I've ever gotten in my whole life.
I understand that there are some things about them and they can get repaired, but if it's not then they should stand up to their products and back it up with a technician or replace it. But if not, then I have no problem hiring an attorney and suing them for damages for mental anguish, property and the quality of work. But I like to pursue every avenue possible to get it resolved. I can give their technician a second chance on Thursday, but I won't go for a third.

I purchased a GBS warranty for my sectional. There were a few spots on the floor panel and on the cushion of the sectional so I talked to several of their reps. The first one that I talked to wanted me to send photos of the spots and I didn’t call back right away. I called back a second time and spoke to someone. The lady kept telling me that there was some brochure that I should have been given from Ashley's Furniture that I wasn’t. And she said it should have explained in detail the parameters as far as the call, like the spill or whatever that was on the furniture should have been reported within 30 days.
I didn’t get that brochure. She kept telling me that she couldn’t help me because it was over the 30 days and, of course, I didn’t know anything about it and she just would not budge. I called Ashley's Furniture which was my fourth call and they told me that there was nothing that they could do about it either and to just call back. So it was just a lot of calling back and forth to finally get what I needed. I called GBS the third time and was able to get through.
The last rep I talked to was very thorough and very helpful. The technician came out within a few days so it wasn’t too long after. It was handled in a timely manner. The technician was very nice as well. He was cool and very personable. We actually talked a little bit, got to know each other so I know a lot about his business. But he only used something similar to a toothbrush to get the spot off and he said that was all that was needed. I didn’t feel like it was cleaned thoroughly, but the spots were lifted. You could still see just a little bit. I felt like he could have done more with the furniture. If I need the warranty, I would use it again but I just hope that it wouldn’t take three calls for me to get what I needed.

I got a GBS warranty protection plan for five years and I've filed a few service claims so far. The first one was a bench that goes at the foot of the bed and somehow it got a water stain on it. The material is like a satin so it can't be cleaned and so they replaced the whole item of furniture. Then I had a couple of drawers in the dresser that were sticking, and so the contractor shaved them off a little bit. Then the other times were stains on the couch and they cleaned those and both of them satisfactorily.
When I call GBS, everybody speaks English very well. I'm on the phone minimally just to talk about what had happened and everything has been good. A tech is dispatched in about two weeks. One time, I had a Latino man and I had no problem understanding his English. He was right on time, cleaned everything and it was good. All in all, I've had a good experience with GBS and I'm very happy with them. They covered things under warranty and replaced something that could not have been cleaned.

We purchased the indoor protection plan of GBS Warranty Services and we had a great experience with them. We moved and when we brought a piece of furniture upstairs, it got damaged on the corner of our staircase, so we needed somebody to come out and fix it. We called them to file a service request and it was easy and simple. The reps were great. They asked me what happened and I told them, and they said GBS would fix it. They were very quick and they dispatched a service technician within a week. There was a very slight issue and he was in and out of here in 30 minutes. I told my father-in-law about how great the warranty was and he is looking forward to making purchases through the same company because of the warranty. In contrast, we've had issues with other companies that did not help us when we damaged something. GBS was highly recommended and somebody was happy about it.

We got the indoor protection plan of GBS Warranty Services from the furniture store. I thought it covered a full cleaning, so we purchased the warranty, but we’ve come to find out that it was just spot cleaning that was covered and I should have read that before I signed up for the service. When my daughter threw up, some of the vomit got on the couch. I wanted to have the whole couch cleaned since the couch was dark brown and we couldn't see where the throw-up was, and I figured that we'd have a full cleaning with our warranty. It took them five days to dispatch the service technicians. Then, when the techs got here, they told me that they would only do spot cleaning. So, they looked for whatever the exact spot was that needed to be cleaned and they cleaned the general area that I pointed out to them where I thought most of the sludge had gone. That was a little disheartening.

The technician was very nice on the phone and when he came in to try to clean the furniture, he said that it’s not cleanable. So, they ended up replacing three of the pillow tops for the couch. But GBS said that I have to wait for a month or so and it's a little bit weird that I have to sit at the door and wait for it because I don’t know if it is gonna come in with the delivery service or with the mail.

We bought the warranty from GBS for the dressers and things like tables. There were some chips that were forming on the top lip of the top drawer and I wasn’t sure why it was flaking, and that’s what they fixed for us. I did everything online, uploaded photographs and filled out everything. Then they called me and set the appointment up. A technician showed up within a week and everything went real smooth. The first time, the drawer was repainted and they did a good job. And then, it started doing it again and I called back.

I purchased the full cover protection plan for my indoor furniture from GBS Warranty Services. The sofa was damaged and the middle didn't have support, so once we sat down, a stick of wood would come out of it. The sofa was too weak and it's dangerous. Still, my experience with the customer service rep was excellent and the rep was very attentive. GBS dispatched a service tech within a week. They came early and the repairman tried to do something. The technical guy knew what he was doing, but there was nothing he could do. It took them two or three weeks to give me the response of what they'll be doing.
Nevertheless, GBS Warranty Services is excellent. I never know what could happen nor if the kind of furniture I bought is good or bad. But, if I didn't do this, I will end up sitting on the floor until I get more money to pay because the furniture was very expensive for something to come so weak and break like that. I'm used to having furniture that lasts 25 years and this one was less than a year and it was damaged.

I was very dissatisfied with the way GBS reps talked to me. They're a bunch of rude people. I purchased from them a six-year warranty on my furniture because their rep said that if we had any animal problems, like if a cat or dog scratched it, they would fix it. And then, I had a couple of little cat scratches, no tears, where the cat had jumped on it. So I called about it. The rep asked me when it had happened. And I told her I didn't actually document what day and that it was probably in a month or two. She came back and said that if it has been more than 30 days, they can't fix it. I told her I have a six-year warranty on the furniture and then she said it has to be reported within 30 days. And so, she was really ugly. And before I could get the other part out, I told her that the loveseat that I purchased where the cupholder was, was coming apart. So, I had to call back.
I talked to another little girl, which was a bit more civil. And so, they got somebody to come out to fix it. But they wouldn't do anything about the animal things. Though the guy that came out to fix it was really nice. He also put some stain color on the furniture even though the GBS reps said they don't cover chipping or discoloration. The stain didn't stay however. The guy told me that a lot of people he has gone to have complained as well that GBS reps were rude people.

I always wanted a white couch. We bought an off-white one from a furniture store and paid $129 for a 5-year protection plan with GBS Warranty Services so that if anything happens, they'll come out and clean it. The couch is a linen more tweed and I wanna put towels down before I let anybody sit on it. However, in less than six months that we have had the plan, the couch had food stains due to minor spills and food getting on there, so I called GBS. It was a rush order to get it in because there was a window of time for when the couch got the stains to getting it addressed. It was not a pleasant experience because there was a ridiculous amount of questions trying to be very specific like where exactly the stain was and what it was. There were at least 10 questions and I was on the phone for almost half an hour trying to set up the cleaning service which by the end of it, I was irritated. I paid for the service and why it was such an issue.
After the service was scheduled, a guy came out close to two weeks after I submitted the claim. He was very nice and it was amazing how quickly he was able to clean it though he used harsh chemicals, which I don't if it was good for the furniture or not. It was quite a smell in the room for the rest of the day, which made me hesitant as to how often to use the couch. Other than that, I’m very happy with the service and I would recommend them.
