I ordered a futon on August 8th from Hayneedle via Walmart because it was going to be delivered by (note by and not on, so I was under the assumption Saturday would be the latest it would arrive) Saturday August 12th. We are leaving to move my son in on Monday. On August 9th I received an email that my order had shipped but there was a delay. I contacted Walmart and was told "they would make it right" and "not to worry it will be there by Saturday".
Shortly afterwards I received an email from Hayneedle that was basically like, "Sorry, not sorry-it hasn't shipped yet and won't be there in time." I was also told since I didn't pay for expedited shipping there wasn't anything they could do. The supervisor Blake said "haven't you ever experienced shipping delays before?" and was literally the rudest customer service rep I have ever spoken with in my life. I should have looked at Hayneedle's reviews before placing my order. They score between 1-2 stars across various review sites. 0/10 recommend.

I ordered an item for my daughter's bday on June 7th 8 am and it said 2-day Fed Ex and I paid 9.99. Then when I get an email saying approx delivery the 13th? I call and they say there is a 3 business day processing and then 2 business days before it's delivered. That's fraudulent that it doesn't say that. Really it will be 6 days. So why did I pay for 2-day delivery? I won't do this again. Poor service.

They sent me around and around for months! They stopped responding via email, so I had to call to speak with a supervisor, and even after that, I had to stay on them because they wouldn't return calls or emails on their own deadlines. Then they promised me a refund, but turned around a week later and changed their mind. Wouldn't uphold the warranty, and offered me a crappy replacement of an entirely different product! Absolutely ridiculous.

Ordered this great-looking filing cabinet - the first arrived damaged - we couldn't see the damage until we opened it, which pretty much destroyed the box which was in a state when we received it and it was delivered upside down, so suspected damage. Had to use our own materials to repack and send back. They sent a second, promising better protection. Second one arrived in a damaged box also upside down. We opened one side and could see that both corners were damaged.
Contacted Hayneedle again and he wanted us to open the entire box so we could see if there was additional damage...so we could spend another $10 in our material to recreate a box for it when we already knew we weren't going to accept it! Then he tried to talk me into trying a 3rd time. Finally convinced him to have Fed Ex pick it up and refund my account AGAIN. OH, and they asked me for a review, so I presented one like this...what do you know, they "monitored it" and didn't post it!!! Don't let the discounted prices fool you - they don't package well nor do they manage their shipper well...you pay the price in time, money, and frustration and disappointment. Find whatever you want elsewhere.

Do yourself a favor and DON’T do business with these shady people. Yes their website and decor might look nice but it’s all a facade. They will cancel your order for “unknown” reasons and if uh there is any more pushback they will avoid your calls, emails, etc. I spent countless hours on their site and with customer service and continually went on a merry-go-round with them. My order was cancelled and they NEVER told me so when my order didn’t come after a week past the projected arrival date. I called and they said “your order was cancelled unexpectedly.” Why did NO ONE let me know????
Fast forward 2 weeks and 5 more orders got cancelled and they blamed it on the shipping and billing address not matching which was not the case because I called my bank to confirm. They offered me 10% off for all the trouble and I told them that EVERYONE already receives 10% off when they order so HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE???? They are not a professional establishment. Don’t let the photos fool you!

Do not use this company! Hayneedle canceled my order because of their antiquated security system that will not allow you to send it to a different address other than your billing address. I placed an order using my American Express and the correct billing address and had the item shipped to my new home. The order was canceled by Hayneedle even though Amex said that the payment was authorized and provided an AUTH #. The explanation I received was that the security system did not match the addresses. Where do you have a company that does not allow you to send it to another address? Bad Business Practices...Run Away!

Ordered a King size bed frame for Black Friday. It was about $100 cheaper on Hayneedle than Amazon, and much cheaper than Home Depot, Overstock, etc. I was hesitant because my first thought was "why is it cheaper?" Well.... I now understand why. Not only did the bed frame get lost by FED EX, and took 6 days for them to actually acknowledge that, but Hayneedle tried offering us a 15% credit for the inconvenience. We firmly denied that request, and demanded that we should be able to order a new Bed Frame and have it Overnight or 2-day shipped for our inconvenience.
Customer Service, and the Customer service Manager said that they could not honor that request because they cannot afford to pay the $150 shipping cost for 2 day shipping. Then after telling us they could ship out the item as normal.... realized they actually no longer have the item in stock. This was the biggest waste of time that I've experienced. They gave us a refund, and I purchased the same bed frame on Amazon for $200 more (after Black Friday).... Moral of the story: Maybe saving money isn't worth it when buying from a cheap company, with a sad, and miserable customer service team, like Hayneedle.

I ordered a Kitchen Table and Chairs from Hayneedle. When the set was delivered the chairs were fine and in separate boxes. The table however had a extensive crack all the way across the top. Basically broken in two pieces. I called immediately and left a message. Follow up from them was e-mailed. I was told they would give me a 10% discount to keep it and I could apply that $$$$ for someone to repair it! I said I wanted it picked up and a new one delivered. Not an option for Hayneedle. They said I needed to order another one and pay for another one (because I used my PayPal account to pay for it) it was my responsibility!
I also was told they couldn’t refund my money until the broken table was picked up and returned. When will that be? Customer service could not tell me that, I have to wait until I was contacted from a delivery service. So as of right now I have a broken table - I have to buy another one - I won’t get a refund until they have a service pick it up. I just moved into a new house and I have no table. Bottom line I was told this was their policy and there is nothing else they could do! Suggestion: NEVER EVER BUY FROM HAYNEEDLE.

Horrible experience all around. Purchased a patio dining set. Just getting it delivered to our house was a challenge with the shipping company. They didn't coordinate shipping, just text you and say "we will be there in 15 min". Once we received it, the table was damaged (and cannot be repaired). Requested a new table top. They said, "No, you need to return the entire thing or take a discount." Trying to return for one, whole, month with the same shipping company. It has been a nightmare. They never show for pickup, lie that they are about to show, tell me they will show the next day, hang up on me when you are trying to reschedule a pickup. I have had to result to disputing the charges now. One shining area, customer support via email is friendly, but hasn't helped.

Ordered a few of their rain barrels. Received an e-mail with an estimated delivery timeline. Delivery timeline came and went. I logged in to the account to check on things. See a notice that delivery was completed. I then pull up the tracking number and see no entries except paperwork being sent to the shipper. No activity in a week.
I end up e-mailing customer support and receive a reply to the effect of "looks like it's lost, oh well, here's a refund". I couldn't have the courtesy of being informed. They never intended to deliver the product or they had stock issues. I had to go through their website, read conflicting delivery information and reach out to be informed that I had been wasting my time for weeks waiting for delivery to be completed when they had no intention of delivery or notifying me about the purchase. If they were courteous or organized I could have ordered barrels from another supplier and received my items by now. Now I'm out several weeks of my time for nothing.

I purchased some chair cushions... that part was fine. BUT, then come the 2 or 3 times per day advertising emails. I clicked on the unsubscribe button...emails keep coming. Send them a message telling them to PLEASE unsubscribe me, and I get an email back saying they have done that, please allow 5 business days to take effect. A week later, still blowing up my email with advertisements. I emailed them again, saying it's been more than 5 business days and I'm still getting spammed. Response: your request to be unsubscribed has already been processed, please allow 5 business days... They're blocked now, and I won't ever buy anything from them again.

Through Hayneedle, I bought a Home Styles Kitchen Cart (HMS036-1). I ordered it on Jan, 5, 2022. They said it would be here by Jan. 13. Given the news about supply chain issues, I was skeptical. It arrived on Tues. Jan 11. The Cart was checked for completeness and put together in a bit over 2 hours. The instructions were easily understood and followed naturally! Love my Kitchen Cart.

This is a company that is ready to tell you to get lost, no matter how right you are - if they know they can get away with it: I purchased a file cabinet which required assembly. They recommended a company to do it. Getting this arranged took time. When the technician came to do the assembly he discovered that so many parts were missing, that it could not be done. So we called Hayneedle.
Their response? The Chinese company from which the item came was out of business. Hayneedle could do nothing about it. They therefore concluded that they had NO responsibility at all. They would not reimburse, they would not come to some agreement. I'm out $233 ($114 for the item; $119 for the technician). If you decide to deal with them, please be very wary...and learn from my experience (that way, what happened to me will have at least some value). Thank you.

I found the bed I wanted on Hayneedle. It was $300 less expensive for the exact same bed than I found it for elsewhere. After ordering, they shipped it quickly and sent me all the tracking information. It arrived undamaged and was exactly what I had in mind when I purchased it. Great experience and would order from them again.

Look, I never write bad reviews, but I am beyond frustrated. My order arrived in their shipping warehouse more than a week ago now. I scheduled an appointment for delivery with the provider that they use, Estes Forwarding Worldwide, online, and the day of, no one showed up. Of course, you can’t just reschedule, you have to call in and be on hold for about 20 minutes before you can talk to someone who can’t even reschedule for you, but has to call SOMEWHERE else to reschedule for you. They won’t give you the right number to call either. I’ve called in about 9 times now, very nicely, and rescheduled FIVE times. Five days where, if I weren’t able to work from home right now, I would have wasted my entire day waiting at home for this large item to not be left out in the rain.
Now, of those 5 times I scheduled only once did the item actually go out on the truck for delivery. Only to not be delivered. Why? Because the appointment “wasn’t fully confirmed”. What?? I called, they scheduled it, the item was on the truck... And now I have to wait multiple days in between for them to now apparently call me to reschedule. At this point I don’t think it’ll ever arrive... Don’t buy from Hayneedle. Search the item, and buy it literally anywhere else.

My mom, a senior citizen, purchased a bed and it turned into a series of calls with Hayneedle and their shipper FedEx, who misrouted the package. Hayneedle could have easily cancelled the order and placed a new order to arrive at my mom's faster. But they didn’t because that costs more money. They had no problem making an 80 year old wait an extra week for a desperately needed item. Just plain disgusting and a horrible look for the brand.

On October 6, 2018 I purchased a set of coral coast all weather wicker chaise lounges. They arrived on time and looked really nice. Within 2 years they started to disintegrate, as the wicker was not real. Now 2 1/2 years of really light usage they are JUNK. I called Hayneedle company and they basically said, "We can’t do anything for you." I would never recommend this company because once they get your money, they don’t want to hear about any problems.

We ordered a TV stand over a month ago, have been waiting on it since. After a couple of weeks of no communication, we contacted Hayneedle, who said it showed "delivered".

I ordered the Jaylynn writing desk from Hayneedle back in July. After waiting nearly two months, I finally got my desk at the end of August. Yesterday, December 13th, only three months later, I noticed the desk was suddenly cracking across the top. Nothing heavy was on this desk. It is not sitting in the sun. It seems like it is simply poor craftsmanship and material. Their customer service rep informed me that there was nothing they could do, no refund, no new furniture. Now I'm just stuck with a three month old $500 desk with big cracks on the top.

In the last 6 months I purchased 2 items via Hayneedle. The first was a sleeper chair, the second a floor lamp. Both products were delivered ahead of time vis FedEx, both looked great both on their website & in person regardless of the condition of the packaging upon arrival. Both were defective with regard to assembly: parts didn’t line up and/or threads on connecting bolts/screws were damaged. In both cases, I had to hire a maintenance person to adapt/fix the pieces. I can’t figure out if Hayneedle sells rejected & defective products or they & manufacturers have poor quality control. I was angry the first time, furious the second time this happened—there will not be a third time or third mistake in buying from Hayneedle. I advise all consumers to think twice and avoiding buying through Hayneedle.

Updated on 09/10/2020: So guess what arrives a week later at my neighbor's house? A torn up box that's supposed to be my computer chair that I paid almost $70 for. I'm so glad I got my refund in time. I didn't even check to see of it had all of the parts. Most likely not considering the box is busted wide open. Once again, run far away from this company!
Original Review: I wish I could give this company zero stars. The fact that it's not accredited speaks volumes. I'll just give you a timeline of my experience with Hayneedle. I wanted to order a computer chair for my daughter since she was going to be going to school online. So here's the timeline of events. 8/19/20 ordered chair from Hayneedle. Paid $23.40 for express 2 day delivery. Product expected to arrive 8/24/20. 8/24/20 No product arrives. Hayneedle site states it arrived, yet FedEx never even created a label.
8/27/20 I contact Hayneedle stating I would like a full refund because my product never arrived on time. I paid for express shipping and still no product in sight. 8/28/20 Hayneedle responds by offering a refund only on my express shipping expenses. I explain to them I wanted a FULL refund for both product and shipping. The product never left their warehouse yet. I had to threaten to report them to the BBB for false advertising and even had screenshots of them altering the fees. 8/29/20 They hurry to ship the product. 8/30/20 They finally offer me a full refund for the product as well. Because the product already shipped, they tell me to keep it or donate it. Product is expected to arrive 9/3/20. 9/3/20 Package was supposedly delivered. Still no product. This company is shady. I've read similar reviews like mine. Please choose another company when ordering.

My first time purchases with Hayneedle. I ordered a accent chest in blue. The box arrived torn, and there was a very noticeable chipped area in the front of the chest. I called Hayneedle and they weren’t alarmed by the chip, the first words out of her mouth was, "I will give you 50 percent off if you want to keep it." Almost as if she knew it was damaged. I didn’t want it and it needed to be shipped back. It was a hassle to put it back in the box that was partially torn up. They said that Fed Express would pick it up the next day between 8am and 8pm. No one showed up, called back and waited on hold for an hour till someone picked up, she ordered another pick up the next day and finally it was picked up. My credit card was refunded and That was it. They offered no apology for the inconvenience and the customer service was mediocre at best. Wasn’t a good experience and I won’t take a chance again with Hayneedle.

I have been told that even though I tried to cancel an order 2 hours after it was placed, that I couldn't cancel it. Hayneedle said they called the manufacturer to cancel the order and they refused, so they won't issue me a refund until the manufacturer has the item back in stock (I have multiple emails confirming this is exactly what they said). I also have continued to track the item, which clearly states in the tracking info that IT HAS NOT SHIPPED YET. This is going on 2 weeks! Do NOT order from them.

I bought a couple of Belham Living Garden Grove 7 ft Metal Arbors over a year ago but I sold my house and ended up not opening the delivered boxes as I wanted them for my new house anyway. I just opened the two boxes and one had the right parts and the other one did not have the right support columns. And the instructions that came with it are extremely unclear as you could not tell from the pictures how you are supposed to connect everything and in what direction or what side...basically it was a trial and error kind of thing.
I called customer service and basically told me too bad and that they won't do anything about it as it was over a year now. I explained that I was not looking for a refund, I just needed the right parts (the two correct columns/posts. Otherwise, it will not have the right support and I could not connect the other parts to give it stability. Again, with the "I'm sorry, we cannot do anything about it - everything comes from China and we can't get you the parts as your order is older than a year!" Lesson: Open all your boxes, check all the parts, check the instructions...and most of all...DO NOT TRUST HAYNEEDLE - order from someone else. They have higher prices than other vendors anyway!

We purchased a beautiful looking and easy to assemble table in September 2019. I also purchased a patio table cover for it to protect it from the Midwest’s cooler autumn temps, followed by its harsh winters. This summer, 2020, I uncovered it so we can enjoy time outside on our patio. After a night of rain, followed by another day of heat and humidity, the table top is warped. It now collects rain water and the surface is no longer level. I am extremely disappointed, especially after spending so much time searching for a patio table, and that this outdoor table cannot handle outdoor weather. Due to it being over 30 days, Hayneedle is unwilling to help make things right. I’d rather spend a little extra money to receive a product with better quality and support a company that actually cares about their customers’ satisfaction. Do NOT waste your time or money with Hayneedle!

My order was to be delivered between June 26 and June 30. I saw there was a delay so I asked if I should cancel and order somewhere else since I needed this for an event. They replied back, it is on time. My credit card was billed June 18. A tracking number was finally assigned June 22. After a few more days I saw that only a label was printed, nothing shipped. I contacted Hayneedle, they said FedEx had just not update the scan, and the product had shipped.
