We got an electric fireplace from Hayneedle a couple of weeks ago. I was looking at that product and I got a coupon from Hayneedle for 10% off, which brings the price down compared to the competitors. It was easy to find and order. The package came in pretty fast, intact and nothing’s opened.
Hello Pravien,
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your positive shopping experience with Hayneedle. We are super elated that you found a great fireplace and that the price was not only reasonable but also offered at a great sale price. We are wishing for you many wonderful, relaxing and cozy moments with your new electric fireplace.

I bought a mountain bike for my oldest boy from Hayneedle three weeks ago. They were the only one who had the mountain bike in his size in stock. Ordering online was super easy. It was literally just two clicks. And then I put in my payment and shipping information and that was it. It was delivered a day earlier than they told me it would be. The bike was a really great deal. It was deeply discounted from the other sites that didn’t even have it in stock. The quality is wonderful too. My son's abusive on his bike and it’s holding up great. So, I’ll probably be back.
Hello Robbin,
We are very happy to hear of your shopping experience with Hayneedle! Thanks for taking the time to review not only the bike for your son but also the online process! We hope you come back for more super great deals in the future.

I ordered several pieces of furniture and a set of chairs came with the wrong parts. I returned the chairs using the return shipping label Hayneedle provided me, they have received the chairs in their Middletown, OH facility and have acknowledged that in an e-mail they sent to me. They said the refund for the chairs would be credited to my PayPal account in 7 to 10 days. It has not been credited to my account and this was back on 11/08/16. I have contacted them several times both through e-mail and phone and all they say is it should have posted. It must be PayPal's error. I opened a dispute claim with PayPal and they are just as bad. They keep pointing the finger at each other. Both Hayneedle and PayPal are horrible companies. I would strongly advise anyone from using either of these ripoff artists. I am now going through my credit card company to resolve the issue and they seem to be trying to help.

Ordered a product. Wasn't send and wasn't notified until days after the delivery date. Called to ask for support but was pushed to other customers supports with no results. This company is a waste of time. At the end the explanation was unreasonable and recommend this company to no one.
Hello Jackie, we understand where your concerns lie and wanted to offer our apologies for your order being cancelled. The item you had ordered went out of stock during the large holiday demand and we informed you as soon as we heard it had gone out of stock. We wish you had received your item and again apologize for any inconveniences this has caused.

I liked the products on Hayneedle. Their pricing was also very good compared to here in Charleston. And the free shipping's nice, too. Also, it's easy to find what I'm looking for. I go into the category I want, and go down and check the product, view it, and check the price out. I haven't had any problem and I'm in my 70's. I bought a fountain for outside for next year. I had them put it together on the porch. The birds seem to like seeing the lights come on the back porch now. The price is also right. It was different from others that I had seen. It was a good product and seems to be working fine since I've had it. I also bought a couple products from them and they seemed to be very good quality. I would definitely recommend them.

Ordering online with Hayneedle was really easy and the quality of the products was excellent. I really appreciated how quickly everything arrived. The only problem is that the original estimated delivery was actually later and it turned out that the delivery came in early while I was out of town.
Dear Jennifer,
We are sorry to hear that the item arrived earlier than was predicted and that this meant your item was left while you were not in town. Having items left unattended is inconvenient for our customers and we will definitely be looking into ways to make sure our customers are informed when shipping dates change.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this valuable feedback.

Ordering online from Hayneedle was great and easy. They have really good prices with good quality. I bought 2 chairs, barrel chairs and a bookshelf. It's just that the delivery had a lot of trouble. It took a long time to get the product. I would track it and it said it’s arriving tomorrow. For three days in a row, it was arriving tomorrow. I finally started calling Hayneedle and calling UPS and no one knew what anyone was doing and it was a mess. It took 2 weeks. It was supposed to be a couple of days. I wasted hours staying home, waiting for the delivery. I did get a desk a couple of months ago and it was delivered just fine and everything was good.

I ordered two twin mattresses for my daughter's bunk bed on 12/10 with guaranteed delivery before Christmas. One of the mattresses arrived on 12/16. After reviewing tracking information for the second mattress, it merely showed "label created." I called customer service the following day - this had gone unnoticed by hayneedle and I had not received any emails in regards to any issues or delays. I was told the problem was with the supplier. The customer service rep called the supplier who was closed over the weekend and then sent an email to the supplier. I was told I would hear from someone as the response from the supplier would be forwarded to me.
When I had not heard anything by Tuesday 12/20, I called back. Unfortunately, the second rep did not do anything else to correct what was obviously an error in their communication with one of their suppliers. I was told the supplier had 72 hours to respond to the email that was sent by the first customer service rep. That would have been Thursday, 12/22. However, again I hear nothing and get the feeling I will not be receiving the second mattress I paid for almost two weeks ago. Bottom line is I was not once contacted by hayneedle with a plan of how to rectify this situation. And on top of that, each time I called there was no resolution either.
As a customer, it does not concern me where the problem is, who has how long to respond to whom, etc. - all I want to know is where is the item I was promised to receive before Christmas. I know it is in stock as the first rep who sent the email to the supplier confirmed there were 250! How about sending me another one the first time I call in and then rectifying this problem with your supplier internally?? Today, 12/23, after another three days of complete silence, I was offered my money back for the second mattress and once again I was the one who called.
How much good does a bunk bed do as a Christmas present with just one mattress? Where am I supposed to get another one before Christmas?! I also want the mattresses to match, so what do I do with the first one?! All in all poor customer service due to absolutely no contact or concern from hayneedle, no resolution offered over the past week with plenty of time to ship a new item, and now no item by Christmas Day as promised - a horrible experience!!

I purchased a gas grill a month ago from Hayneedle. It was cheaper through them and the shipping is free. I then ordered it and they shipped it, and I had no problems. The grill was made by Weber so the quality is okay. I've already recommended it to a couple of my friends to purchase the same grill from Hayneedle.

I ordered the KidKraft Majestic Mansion Dollhouse for the three year old daughter. It is a little girl's dream. I found out after purchasing it, that her father had already purchased it for his house. Naturally, I wanted to cancel my order before it shipped and to have my money refunded to my credit card so I could get her something different but just as special. Mind you - I ordered the dollhouse less than 24 hours prior. When I called customer service, they said the item had been assigned a "ticket" - had NOT been shipped and did NOT have a tracking number. I was told it would have to be shipped to my home, and if I still didn't want it, that I would have to send it back AND pay for the shipping charges. I decided to keep it.
It is now the day before Christmas Eve, and after 4 hours of trying to put the house together, I realize that all of the parts needed were not packed as they should have been. So now, my little girl will not be getting her dollhouse after all, and I have to pay to send it back - even though I requested to do so in the first place. Amazon.com... All the way... From now on. I hope you crumble, Hayneedle.

On December 15th I placed an order for a Christmas gift. I could have gotten free shipping, but in order to receive the item on December 23rd (in time for Christmas) I paid for upgraded shipping. Today (December 22) I got an email stating that my order had shipped and would arrived on December 27th, TWO DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS! I called Hayneedle and spoke with a very nice and helpful woman. She called FedEx on my behalf, to see if there was any way the item could be expedited, but it cannot. Because I won't receive the item until AFTER Christmas, the shipping cost was refunded. A MAJOR Christmas surprise is now ruined. Thanks to this company. This is a specialty item not available locally. Although the delay was blamed on FedEx, I hold the company responsible. If their carrier can't deliver, then a different carrier should be used. I will NEVER order from this company again! Buyer Beware!

It's been 3 months since we've had Hayneedle products. We bought a lot of stuff from Amazon, including some range, dining room chairs, and little card table chairs that we use for game chairs on wheels. I wanted something with wheels on it so I can roll across my hardwood floors without scratching them. They were the only ones I found that were similar to some that I couldn't get through Staples. We had sat in some similar chair at Staples and we went for five weeks not being able to get them in stock. My husband got online and ended up finding some that I liked and they happen to have them so we ordered. The online ordering experience with Hayneedle was one of the easier ones, in fact.
They were fast at getting them delivered but I was a little upset with the delivery man. He left them on our doorstep when we weren't home and it was raining. It rains in Oregon and we got home about 20 minutes after it started raining so they weren't too messy. They were all right inside but I was real upset with the delivery person because we didn't expect him until the next day. He had to race home basically so he came early. Even so, I liked the quality except that I was hoping they would be a little bit softer. They were hard to sit on but I put cushions in them. It's been a very good experience.

We were remodeling our kitchen. I ordered two lights at the same time in plenty of time for the contractors to put up. Only one came. When I contacted them, they said it would be several weeks. Our contractors were done by then. The contractors were not able to come back until several weeks later. The lights did not work so I wanted to return them. They will not let me return them because it was too long when they were the reason they could not be hung on time. Very disappointed with this company.

I saw a picture of a big baker's rack on Hayneedle's website and purchased it. Ordering it online was very easy. However, they say the drawers are removable, but they're not. We can't get the drawers out without totally disassembling the entire wood unit. Although it was easy enough to do, they should change their description on the website. Also, we thought it should be darker and thought the metal was of little different colors, so I completely redid it. I stripped it down to bare wood, re-stained, and re-varnished it. But aside from that, it was easy to put together and had a wonderful quality.

My first order with Hayneedle.com was not a good experience at all. I ordered a lovely outdoor rocking chair. It arrived and had been expertly packed. The chair was in 4 parts: 2 rocker pieces and 2 pieces to chair itself. It looked great. However, there was no hardware to put the chair together; and there were no instructions. When I called customer service, I was offered 30% off to go buy my own hardware and "guess" how to put it together. I am not a handyman and knew that would not work for me; she gave me the option of returning the chair and getting a replacement; I said okay.
After a couple of long waits on the phone, as I was looking at the website, I noticed that the color I ordered originally was no longer available AND the price had gone up on the chair in just a few days. The rep had not told me that so when she finally came back on the phone, I cancelled the order and said that I was returning the original only, no replacement.
Needless to say, just getting the chair back in the box and getting it down to where FedEx could pick it up was a big hassle. The next day (today) I received an email from Hayneedle that there was "an issue" with my payment and to call. After waiting again on the phone, the rep told me that the replacement order was still in the system and she wondered about whether I had ordered another. I explained the situation. As much as I love the products on the Hayneedle website, I will not order from them again... It's too big a hassle. They don't seem to have an organized system. I've order many, many times from Amazon.com and never had an issue; that's probably why Amazon is taking over the world. :-)

I ordered a 6ft bean bag as a birthday gift for my son. I paid extra to get it in time for his birthday today. I have kept sending emails asking for a tracking number that was suppose to be sent and no one has been able to do this. I found a number and called today just to find out it was out of stock and hasn't even shipped yet. She thinks they got more in stock yesterday, so it may ship Monday. They gave me a tiny discount. Was gonna be ordering a fireplace from them today. That is NOT gonna happen now. Super annoyed.

Hayneedle has a good variety of options and I like their price, too. They have a good website and I've looked on it since. The bookcase that I bought is perfect for what I needed it for and it's exactly what I was expecting it to be.

We moved into a new home, and so it's definitely a place that I will be looking for items in the future.

Hayneedle does not even deserve one star. I ordered a dresser on September 20, 2016. Upon arrival the dresser was damaged. I contacted Hayneedle and chose to take a store credit and have them send me a second dresser. She told me at that time but if there was a problem with the second dresser it would take 30 days to refund my money. The second dresser was due to be delivered on October 17th. The shipping company contacted me and stated that they would not deliver it because once again it was damaged. They stated that for a 230 pound dresser it should have been palletized and work carefully packaged instead of merely being placed in a cardboard box with some Styrofoam around the edges.
I contacted customer service that day and they instructed me that they would have a check to me within 30 days. After not seeing any credit to my charge card or receiving a check by mid November, I again contacted customer service. The individual that I had spoken to the first time it's no longer available. A customer service rep then instructed me that the check request had not been submitted until the 31st of October and that I should have a check by December 1.
When I receive no credit to my account or check by December 1st, I again contacted customer service. Initially I was told I would have to wait another week, and when I said this was unacceptable the supervisor instructed me that she was trying to get a hold of accounting and that she would get back to me. I made it very clear that I wanted a credit in my account pending by the end of the day. My last contact suggested that they would try to overnight me a check and when I tried to respond via email, the mail was clearly undeliverable. I cannot express my absolute frustration and disdain for this company.

Hayneedle had what I was looking for and I got a sectional from them. It's kind of like a chair with a lounge and ordering it online was easy. However, they didn't charge me for the shipping upfront. I had to wait for the stuff to get delivered. You budget for something that cost a lot of money and then you expect for it to be taken out right when you purchase and Hayneedle don’t. I told them it was insane especially because I just moved across country and starting over somewhere new was really fund depleting. So I wanted stuff out of my account immediately and I did not like their policy which was bizarre. But the quality of the product is great and it was accurate for the price. I'm satisfied and I like that they have versatility in the selections unlike Rooms To Go which has pretty basic and standard designs. I also like that they have the shabby chic or rustic option, but they need more variety.

I ordered a product from Hayneedle which was to be received by Dec 2. I received an email from Hayneedle stating that the order would be delayed with a new delivery of Dec 12. I immediately called to cancel the order and was told the cancellation was a mere request until the manufacturer confirmed the cancellation. I was told the cancellation was a request since the order maybe in the shipping process. Even when I suggested I would forward the email stating the shipment delay I was told the cancellation was a request only. 8 hours later I received an email from Hayneedle, stating the order had shipped. After a lengthy call with Hayneedle, I was told I could refuse shipment and my account would be credited 7-10 business days after the product was received back to them. The delay is unacceptable.

CYBER WEEK EVENT SCAM - This is a perfect example of why no one should shop here. I've had this product in my cart for almost 2 weeks WAITING for cyber Monday... **. It WAS 209.98 BEFORE cyber sale. It's been that price since MARCH 2016. When I went to check the sale today it was still 209.98 but "MARKED DOWN 45% from 378.98". WHAT A SCAM! Hayneedle.com never sold that Desk for that price on their site. I called in to complain and report that the Desk was the same price as last week except it's been marked up for the sale to meet the same price as last week in an attempt to rip people off! They're not offering ANY deal.
The manager I spoke to was Tim. He said they were marking down the furniture by the manufacturer's retail price which he would not disclose the manufacture information so that I can compare prices. How does that even make sense anyway. Hayneedle is giving discounts based on OTHER companies' prices. We all know, that's **. They marked up the prices on their site for the sale. I screenshot the differences. One image was the price before the "Sale" and the other has the "Discounted Price" #HAYNEEDLE. #RIPOFF. #FRAUD.

My mother-in-law told me about Hayneedle. I purchased lamps, a TV stand, a kitchen table and chairs, and toys from them a few months ago. For the most part, the online ordering process was good. I had one slip-up when I went to order something, and I had a 10% off promo code, which didn’t go through but when I called the office, they were wonderful and they took care of it. So far, I feel good about the quality of the products I got. Some of the stuff comes in a lot of pieces and takes a while to put together, but for the most part, it’s great. I love it. Also, I feel like I got what I paid for. Their products have good quality for the price. I’ll definitely continue using their site.

As a gift for my anniversary my husband bought me a London storage futon to complete my guest room remodel.

I ordered a TV Stand/Bookshelf. I called a customer service representative because I had a very specific and important question. My question was "Is there assembly required?" She said "yes but very minimal." So I placed the order. When we opened the package, we couldn't believe how many parts there were. There must be over a hundred screws! It came with a 5 page instruction booklet that makes NO sense. If the representative told me the truth, I would've never wasted my money on this shelf. So now I have parts all over the floor, because no human being can follow these ridiculous instructions. So I ask, how is this "minimal assembly"??? Hayneedle should tell their customers the TRUTH!!!

I ordered a candy gift basket for a coworker for his birthday. I planned the shipping just right and I was to receive it 2 days before his birthday. However I got an email the day before it was to arrive telling me that the order had been canceled and could not be processed. When I called customer service I was informed this was because some of my bank information did not line up and this was to help against fraud (turns out it was just the phone number I had given...). I can certainly understand that, but my bank account WAS charged.
How is this protecting against fraud if my account was charged? With other companies if there is an issue, you normally get an email right away and the charge never goes through. Now I'm left scrambling to get the product from another vendor and pay an extra 35-50 for overnight shipping (as I would not trust this company to be able to do it), or find something else. I would NOT recommend this company. I can only hope I will get a refund in a timely matter. I'm giving it 2 stars only because customer service was nice, though they should have offered to overnight it for free.

Hayneedle's customer liaison department makes it right and goes the extra mile to make their customer happy. By the time they offering to handle the return shipping on their end, I have already accepted the loss and put the wrong merchandise together. Customer liaison then took the charge off the card and I appreciate their gesture of good faith. My suggestion to them is stopping using the same template to answer their customers' questions. A little bit of caring can go a long way.

Hayneedle sent me a wrong item. Service rep asked me to bring a 100 lb item to local FedEx for return. I refused due to item weight, then they instructed me to schedule for a pickup in a condescending tone. I called FedEx to schedule for a pickup but the tracking number they provided wasn't on record with FedEx. Now, they are charging me return shipping for a second label. Other online companies had sent me wrong items before, but never this much hassle with an attitude. Buy elsewhere. This company isn't worth your time and effort.

I ordered a product from this company FIVE TIMES. All five times the order was canceled and no one can figure out why. Admittedly, the first time was my fault as I gave an incorrect billing address. When I called to correct it, I couldn't get the so-called customer service chick to understand that you can have a billing address and shipping address that are different. She used the shipping address and, of course, it bounced. But the next three times I placed the order it continued to be rejected and no one can figure out why. The last guy I talked to said, "I have seen this before." Really? No one can figure this out? He asked a supervisor or maybe the cleaning lady how to fix it and I was told I would hear in 24 to 48 hours. Not that it would be fixed, not that the product would be shipped. I would hear. The product is something I need by a certain deadline. What a load of crap this is. I am beginning to think they are just gathering credit card info.

I purchased an artificial Christmas tree one night and the next morning called to cancel my order as this item wasn't not scheduled to be delivered for a week. However, when I called to cancel they stated my order was in fulfillment. I asked how can this be when I placed about 8 hours earlier. The representative said she would try to cancel it but if I received it I could return it. I knew returning a large 78 lb tree would be expensive so I emailed several times trying to get them to contact FedEx to have it sent back to them. I was advised to call Fed Ex which I did and was told the package would be returned to sender. Hayneedle also called FedEx as they stated in an email. However, this tree is still showing in FedEx's system as in route to me. I am so frustrated with Hayneedle and was told that I have to pay return shipping regardless.

We are so sorry for the way this situation was handled. You did everything in your power to stop this shipment, and we should have taken that into consideration.
We have sent you a private message with more details regarding the matter, and hope the resolution we have provided will be one that you agree with!

Ordering online from Hayneedle.com was easy. I got a park bench for outside, and they did a half-ass job on finishing it, so I need to sand it down and do it better. But it was a good experience overall.

We purchased a Hall Tree and two chairs for a kitchen counter from Hayneedle. They look good and both are exactly what I was looking for. Ordering online was easy and very smooth. I also had a coupon, so that helped. We had a problem with one of the chairs. When my husband went to put it together there was a piece that was broken. I got a hold of customer service and I was able to explain it to the woman and she was able to get it through. She put in a work order and they sent out a new piece without any problems, so I was grateful for that.
Hello Brooke, thank you for the feedback. We are glad to hear that the ordering process went smoothly, and that we were able to help out when your chair ended up having a bit of damage to it. We appreciate you shopping with us!

I found exactly what I was looking for on Hayneedle and it was a good product for the money. They delivered what I asked for and purchased, and my husband got it fit together easy. I missed the part where we had to put it together ourselves because home assembly is required but it's all good. I would definitely recommend them. In fact, I will go back when I'm ready to purchase more furniture.

I ordered a baker's table and white glove delivery. Forget the white glove, they just left it on the curb and the poor FedEx guy had to bring it to my apartment by himself. The unit was damaged and as I started to assemble the top, I realized the parts were too faulty to assemble. So I started the other half which also was unable to be assembled due to problems such as: the cam screws do not fit. Pre drilled holes are not drilled deep enough for the screws provided and just got stuck. The base board just fell off. The dowels do not fit into their slots making them utterly useless and very difficult to work with if the pieces just fall over. The instructions were terribly insufficient, with no instruction at all how to attach the countertop which arrived separately.
Customer service was terrible. The box itself told me to contact the manufacturer for assistance and when I did that, they refused to help me and directed me to another customer service address. After several emails they now want me to go to the store and buy shipping materials and ship the unit back to them but have not confirmed any refund above 15%.
This is a cheap piece of furniture and is overpriced even with that being said. Service = bad. Should have taken me 1 day to assemble and ended up being over a week of sorting through dozens of faulty pieces littering my apartment and playing email tag once a day with the customer service person. Please do yourself a favor, and for shop here. It will save you a migraine. They should really just shut down until they figure out how to make furniture that works and stop screwing over hard working people who don't have time to deal with this.

I am not happy with ordering from Hayneedle and I won't order from here again. I am super dissatisfied with my order. I ordered an 8in Full gel memory foam mattress and it came in about 10 days. I opened it up and let it breathe and I noticed after an hour that there was this dent that ran right in the middle of the mattress from top to bottom vertically that never rose into place. I slept on it the same night and woke up with my back hurting so I knew that something wasn't right. So I contacted Hayneedle and told them that I have received a mattress that was manufactured wrong. The lady told me to email her a few photos so I did and she told me that I could throw that mattress away because it was manufactured incorrectly. Then she emailed me telling me that they are sending me a new one.
I emailed asking her when would it be shipped and arriving and I got nothing. A few days later I called and I talked to another lady and she told me that the mattress should be arriving in 10 days and I was annoyed because they didn't even offer to send it ASAP. So I patiently waited the 10 days and I received the mattress today. IT WAS THE WRONG HEIGHT!!! They sent me a 6in mattress instead of my 8in mattress!!! Now I have to wait for my mattress again and I'm pissed off. Not dealing with this company ever again. I'll tell you that!

I have had a the worst customer service experience with Hayneedle. First off, I received a sectional and fire pit. The fire pit was missing the instructions and hardware to put it together. After multiple days, I was directed to the manufacturer of the sectional instead of the fire pit (time wasted #1). Then I wrote back again and was told that you will not give me the manufacturer of the fire pit for me to contact directly (time waster #2). Then I had to call you multiple times and be put on hold (I would guess I spent about 4 hours on the phone with the customer service department). I finally found 1 competent customer service representative. He contacted the manufacturer who would not send hardware, so I had to do an entire replacement. I have received my replacement and tried to start the fire pit this past weekend since it has been cold enough and we just got a propane tank. The propane tank will not light with the ignitor.
We have had multiple people look at it and the instructions are not working. I am trying to see if it is defective. I contacted customer service again and got the answer that a full replacement has already taken place. Yes, I did get a replacement and it is not working. PLUS it came in scratched (which I didn't even complain about). I am BEYOND frustrated.

I ordered a bedroom set back in early July. I have been given 7 different delivery dates. As each one approached they said they were sorry but it would be the next time they gave (over and over). I was told they were finishing the nightstands and the delivery would be here soon. When the final e-mail came telling me the order was on its way, they didn't list the nightstands. They are on back order. So today (Sept 23) the furniture arrived and when the men unpacked the headboard it was badly damaged. I refused the order because I know they tell lies and would promise me a new bed soon and it would not happen.
The whole experience was horrible. I was promised "white glove" delivery which they would pay for since I had been promised so many times and nothing happened, but then I was told I needed to pay for it as it was not included when I got the email saying the furniture was on its way. They were willing to give me a 10% discount for all of the missteps, but the whole thing was a bummer experience and I would not recommend them to anyone. Liberty Furniture had a very small amount of styrofoam in the box with the headboard - who does that? It was very easily damaged. I am fed up.

This is the first review I have ever written online for anything because I wanted to express how disappointed I am with Hayneedle processes and customer service - comparable to a third world country of business processes dysfunction. Three weeks ago I placed an order on the Hayneedle website for a gym equipment and a mattress - my first attempt at ordering these two products. Three days later I receive an email from the company informing me that my order has been cancelled because of "security" issues with my credit card information.
I call customer service on that day to get more information about the order cancellation. The customer rep that I spoke to went over my address, phone number and email address to find out where the mismatch of information may have occurred. I suggested to her that I use two different email addresses and the one that corresponds with the credit card company was my gmail account which I provided to her. She stated that she will give the information to the accounting department and that I would be contacted with further details about the status of my order.
Three days later I call customer service again because I had not heard from anyone about the status of my order. The rep I talk to informs that there is no record of me ever calling to change my email address, and made a comment about the rep I spoke to three days ago may have not completely processed my request to change my email address - a human mistake of not pressing the "submit" button. At this point she suggests that she will fix my email address and send the information to accounting department. Again, I do not hear from the company for three days, so I contact them for the third time. The third rep I talk to in a span of 12 days suggests that I should just reorder both products to reduce confusion.
I am a believer of second chances, and sometimes ** happens. So, here I am two weeks later ordering the same products because of a tangled web of computer system miscommunication and consistent human errors and mistakes. A week after I reorder the products. I call the company again to check on the status of the order, as I had not received any notice in my email about any updates on shipping, handling etc. The rep informs that my order is on "HOLD" and she has to look into it to get clarification.
At this point, feeling beyond frustrated I ask to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor named Melissa, explains to me that the order is holding because of a credit card information mishap, and she states that the next day she will have accounting department manually enter my credit card information because according to their "automated security" credit card system, my information is not matching and it's holding up my order. I explained to Melissa that I have used the card MULTIPLE times for other website for at least a year. In fact a week ago, I had ordered a bed frame from Wayfair with that same card, and literally received it in my doorstep in 5 business days (with FREE shipping). I said to her perhaps the company needs to look into the glitches and re-evaluate their "security credit card" system that may be causing issues. She states, "There is nothing wrong with our computer system!!!"
First of all Melissa, you sound arrogant when you make a statement of that nature! Second of all, with one comment you basically completely dismissed my concerns and horrible experience as your first time customer who just made a $900 purchase on your website, that by the way is paying for your salary! Third of all, Customer Service 101 - acknowledge the customer's concerns and perhaps say something more productive and positive such as, "We will look into our security system to find out if perhaps we have a problem here", because according to ConsumerAffairs website reviews, my dear Melissa your company has a lot of issues that you perhaps need to look into! Best thing I did was cancel the order, and moved on to Wayfair who has their ** together!

If I could give no stars I would. I never write reviews but I am so frustrated with Hayneedle that I felt they deserve a bad review. The day before I was supposed to receive the canopy (7/26) I purchased from Hayneedle, I got an email saying it wouldn't be shipped for another month (9/1) because it was on backorder, so I called to cancel the order that day. About one week later I got an email saying my order had been shipped so I immediately emailed back saying that the order was cancelled and that I no longer wanted the item. This was a huge inconvenience because I no longer work at the address where the canopy was sent to and I cannot transport it easily. I was told that I needed to pay for the shipping back to Hayneedle, which is ridiculous, and then they said "Pay half", I said "no", and then they finally agreed to comp the shipping payment.
After much back and forth, they sent me the FedEx prepaid shipping label but in the email they said it was to return a cat litter box and that I would be reimbursed $144.95. I emailed back saying this was not what I had ordered and then they apparently got confused and didn't know that they had wrote that to me. I just want to make sure that I will be reimbursed the total cost of the canopy before it is sent back - $376.02. I am still emailing with them now, and they are trying to tell me that the subtotal of $339.99 will be reimbursed, not the full amount. WHAT?! This mistake of sending the canopy even after it was cancelled could have been dealt with much better. For one, I should not have been asked to pay for the shipping back, as this was their fault, not mine, and being passed around to four different people was very frustrating because they had no idea what was going on. Do not buy from Hayneedle or you will regret it!

Every time I place an order, AFTER the fact, it suddenly shows a later expected ship date, even if I paid for faster shipping. Upon calling you get the runaround, different answers from different representatives. If you decide to cancel because you need the item sooner, then they tell you it is about to ship when it clearly says "backordered" or "delayed" or a ship date far in the future. If you call back another rep will agree to cancel order but then you will down the road get a ship notice anyway. You can't trust the ship notice because it usually says "label created" and is not actually shipped.
I called FedEx and they told me they never got the shipment, but Hayneedle said it was scanned and about to be delivered. They lie, and supervisors are no help. I wouldn't mind if this was one incident but it is EVERY time, no matter what I order. They also charge your account twice, and supposedly the second charge is just a test and will drop off which is another ridiculous thing, especially if you're already been doing business with them. I've also had seemingly nice, helpful representatives who give me their direct number and email for future follow up, who then completely ignore my requests. I do not recommend them.

I haven't received the chairs yet. They are on the way. The total was $683.28 which is a good price for 3 polywood chairs. The complication came when the next day after when I noticed that the full amount was charged and appeared as pending from the previous day as expected and another pending charge of $683.29 also showed as today. These two separate transactions and pending charged removed a total of $1366.57 from my account.
When I contacted Hayneedle and spoke to a supervisor. She explained that they take an additional security hold and that the second amount should be released in 3-4 business days. So for a few days, you will be charged double the amount of your purchase and those funds will not be available for you to use elsewhere. The supervisor was clear that they do business that way and that I should just deal with it. After dealing with it, I recommend Wayfair or any other company that I've purchased from who doesn't play games with your money.

I would like to outline my experience based on a purchase I made in April consisting of International Caravan Lisbon Resin Wicker Patio Rocking chairs, which cost over $900.00 for 6 chairs. We placed these chairs on our stamped patio and due to inadequate padding placed on the rocker base, the finish is coming off the concrete base. I have attached pictures of the issues. When I purchased the chairs, 3 of them required that I drill holes in order to thread the bolts through. I received an $85.00 credit for my troubles based on the fact I agreed to fix the chairs instead of having Hayneedle.com pay the charges to have them picked up and replaced. I thought that I was doing the company a favor. Based on the verbatim response I received from Hayneedle.com support, I guess they thought they were doing me a favor.
This is the response I received on Wednesday: "In reviewing your order I see that you accepted a discount of $85.00 on the International Caravan Lisbon Resin Wicker Patio Rocking Chairs to keep them "As-Is". By accepting that offer you have waived your right at any future return, refund, or warranty coverage." After responding to what was said, below is the second response I received: "I understand it's frustrating when an item you purchased does not perform as you would like it to. The previous discount was inclusive al ALL flaws or defects the rocking chairs may have had or will have. You may want to consider using them in a different location or finding the materials to resolve your issue at a local hardware store. We cannot provide any further compensation at this time." Support is telling me to move the chairs to a different location to resolve the matter! Are you kidding me! Please be aware of Hayneedle's customer service.

He listened to the problem and quickly proposed a resolution. He went to get a supervisor to approve it. He came back after 10 mins to say that it wasn't approved. I then asked if I could speak to the supervisor. He said it may take some time but will try to get one asap. Within another 10 mins, Jenny came on to say that she understands the situation and is able to resolve the problem immediately.

My husband received this hammock (Island Bay XL Rope Hammock) as a gift in October 2015. We had just moved across the country so we're in the midst of unpacking and living among a sea of boxes. In addition, it was fall in Colorado, about to transition into a snowy winter, so we did not open the hammock at that time. Our mistake. We just opened and put together the hammock this month (June 2016). As it turns out, we were missing some parts to make the hammock functional and we also had a broken part. I called Hayneedle customer service and, after waiting 53 minutes for a representative, who offered no apology for the wait time, then another 10-15 minutes while he spoke with his supervisor, I was told that there was nothing they could do because of the amount of time that had passed.
I understand that we should have inspected the package upon arrival - that was our mistake. What really upset me was that they carry no extra parts for their items. So if I would have called right away, all they could have done was send me another hammock. How wasteful can a company be? This is a 15 ft wide, 5-piece, heavy duty metal hammock stand that would just go to waste. The representative said "well, we're just a make it and throw-it-away society". WHAT??? Does Hayneedle have no concern for our environment at all? Clearly not. Can you imagine how many of their defective products are filling our landfills? With that attitude, the least they could do is improve their quality control to try to minimize the waste. I will never do business with this company again.

When I first place my initial order, a day went by and I received an email stating there was a discrepancy with my billing and shipping address. I contacted my bank, but only for them to tell me all my informations on file are accurate. I called their customer service to let them know that my information were corresponding, but couldn't get a hold of a single body because of their abnormal wait time. So, I decided to email them and someone responded with the same bogus claim. I let them know that the problem wasn't from my end and they told me if then, I should just go back and reorder the items. So did I, but the same nonsense from their side keep occurring. This happened for about five times in two weeks and I got fed up and decided to put my life on hold to call and to spend whatever time it might take me to speak to someone.
I got a fellow on the phone, ask him what was the issues, but he put me on hold to go find out from some place. He came back just to have nothing to tell me regarding what was going on. I requested for a supervisor, and when she came she verify the information they had on file and it was all correct. So I asked if I should just go back and reorder again, but she told me, "She doesn't guaranteed that my order will go through either". I asked "So what should I do then?" and she told me she doesn't know once again.
After it had all came to my knowledge of their sketchy business tactics, I realize I had wasted my time. I just wish that I had never came across this kind of business. What I think is going on is that they falsely advertise and don't have the actual products. As a results they come up with all kinds of false excuses. A class action suit need to be taking toward such business practice. Now I have to find other means in other to furnish my house. I promise to never even refer my worst enemy to visit this so-called hayneedle.com. Before leaving I'm just going to leave this here: Unsatisfy Customers Equal No Business. BAD! BAD!

I tried returning an item worth $150. I reached out to them because I needed an order number to begin the return process online. The customer order number, which they asked for online, was on the packing slip and did not work. I entered that number in their online return form box probably 6 or 7 times and it never worked. So I called. I was put on hold for over 10 minutes before I gave up. I called again the next day - same thing, endless hold. I emailed. Nothing. I waited on hold a third day for about 15 minutes. Finally somebody answered and got me the help I needed. My advice: do not buy from Hayneedle unless you know you're never going to return anything. Stick with Overstock or Wayfair.
I'm sorry that the return was difficult and understand the frustration that may cause. We have the refund processed on 6/29/2016 for the full amount.

I should have read the reviews before ordering here. First off I made my order on Wednesday 6/15 with 2 day shipping and was confirmed I would receive on Friday 6/17. A day later get an email saying it would arrive until 08/02!! Seriously?? They have no control on what they're doing, and don't try calling them - their hold time is horrible! Customer service doesn't know what they're doing. I called in to see what was going on. They said I would either receive a cancellation confirmation or an email saying my order was shipped that same day. So I did receive an email saying my order shipped.
Today Friday 6/17 I check the tracking and apparently it was requested to be shipped back by the company! Now they're saying it's because I cancelled... HELLO??? I received no cancellation confirmation!! I received the tracking info and now this happens. I called in to try to have them ship to me and even offered to pick up at the FedEx location as it is still in my city, but no help at all. They said the manager was on vacation and only she could approve it (I don't believe it). All they offered was for me to reorder when the item is back in stock (a month later) and discount only on that item. No thank you, never again shopping here. Stay away.
I have reviewed your order and see that the item was back ordered. I apologize that the order was returned, this may have been due to the supplier actually shipping out the incorrect item. Our corporate office has emailed a 20% discount off your next order. If you need assistance placing an order, please let us know!

Called because advertised price was lower than what it was when I was ready to check out. The price went up by hundred dollars so I called so they could honor the price. The customer service rep put me on hold for a long time, came back and said his manager said sorry about the glitch but they could not sell it to for that price. I then told him to tell his manager that I was not going to pay the higher amount because they had to honor the price online (BTW I even emailed them proof of a screenshot). I told him that by law they had to honor it and that I had nothing to do with their website issues.
I advised them that they should contact their legal department if they just didn't know the law. The second time the customer serv rep then came back and said they would honor the lower price but only after I vocalized to them that I knew the law. Next issue I check my bank account only to learn I was charged TWICE. Rather than call Hayneedle (based off their reviews) I contacted my bank so they could handle it.

On June 10th I got an email from a representative of Hayneedle extending a credit to my bill for the trouble I have had both with my order and from Customer Care. She was very apologetic and had read my review on this site, so I think that the company realizes they have a problem and are working hard to address it.

How I wish I had found this site before ordering from Hayneedle! I ordered the mahogany Sullivan secretary desk ($749.00) from them rather than from another company because I had seen the Hayneedle name so many times that I assumed it was reliable and reputable. I will say that the item I ordered was shipped quickly and that flaws in the furniture probably originated with the manufacturer. I called Hayneedle and they gave me the number of the manufacturer, but it turned out to be incorrect - the number was for Crosley Radio rather than Crosley Furniture.
Once I found the correct number in the directions, I called Crosley and they were very prompt and courteous in satisfying my concerns. Every time I have tried to contact Hayneedle, I have been unsuccessful and have waited anywhere from 10-40 minutes before giving up without having spoken to anyone in "customer care." The last time I contacted Crosley I told them that they should evaluate Hayneedle as a distributor and perhaps think about finding a more reliable company to distribute their goods.
Updated on 6-09-2016: I finally got a response to the email that I had sent "Customer Care" and the sender was very apologetic about phone wait times and said that they were being addressed. She could not do anything to compensate me for my trouble with both the desk and Hayneedle, but at least I got a response. Still, I would hesitate to order from the company again.

Had my call time not been so long they probably could've stopped the shipment. I asked if they will cover the return shipping cost so I can order the correct items from them and they only offered to pay half. I have ordered from many companies and will never order from here.

The item that I ordered was not as I expected - no defects or anything. I went into my order information for the return policies, expecting to find a return address and pre-paid postage. Online consumers have come to expect that level of ease and service from online vendors, such as Amazon and Zappos. I was unable to get the documents that I was expecting to find. I wrote to the Customer Service Department. I was told that they would be happy to accept the return item, but they would deduct $10.50 from my refund to pay for the shipping charges. This was half of the total charge of my purchase!
I wrote back to say that that was unacceptable and I would pay for the USPS charge myself and to please send me the proper address to which to mail the item. No response. I contacted the BBB and let them know about these difficulties. Hayneedle held firm to its policy to not accept the shipping charges for returning the item, AND I still did not have an address to ship it back to Hayneedle at my expense. At long last, I did receive the proper address for returning merchandise and was told that Hayneedle considered the matter closed. Well, for all the time and stress involved in accomplishing what should have been a simple matter, I do not consider the matter closed. It is incumbent upon me to warn prospective Hayneedle online shoppers from doing business with this company, or at least to be absolutely certain that you really do want the merchandise that you are ordering. Returning the merchandise will be at your expense and headache.

I think that, a week ago, we bought a $440 gas fire pit from these people. That said, we don't have any idea if that's true. They claim they shipped the item, but the tracking info and shipping company say they know nothing about said shipment. Three email inquiries to Hayneedle 'customer service' have gone unanswered. One phone call had me put on hold for over 15 minutes, then hung up on - makes me wonder if they're actually just a scam? In any case, haven't seen customer service (abuse) this bad in decades. We're sorry we did the deal, and given the other reviews we've read, we'll be lucky to get our money back, or the actual item.
They used to say that a happy customer will tell 10 to 15 folks, while an unhappy customer will tell 20 to 25. This is the digital age, and I've got a Facebook account with over 1200 friends, plus two websites that draw in the neighborhood of 15,000 folks a week on average.

I ordered a rocking chair and received a love seat instead. Not a big deal - I just called customer service so that they can coordinate a pickup and send me the correct item. The box for the love seat was over 100 lbs, and Hayneedle customer service wanted me to figure out how to get the package to the nearest Fedex location. I explained that I am 8 months pregnant and unable to do that, and that given that this was THEIR mistake, they should be coordinating a Fedex pick-up from my home.
The customer service rep said she handled the whole return and that Fedex would pick up the next day. She also said no return label was required, which I found to be very odd. I decided to contact Fedex myself to verify that what she told me was true, and Fedex had nothing in their system about a pick-up for a package, and said there absolutely needs to be a return label on the package in order for them to complete the pickup. After 30 mins of back and forth with another customer service rep at Hayneedle, the return label was sent to me via e-mail and a pickup was scheduled with Fedex.
Well, I just received the CORRECT chair today, and all of the hardware is missing, as well as the rocking chair feet. Needless to say, I am very disappointed.

Beware Hayneedle's accounting practices. While I was happy with the entertainment center I purchased for $1300, I discovered I was billed TWICE through my PayPal credit account. As soon as I saw the second billing, I called PayPal and they cancelled the first transaction and I thought all was fine. I left for Christmas, and on my return had a letter from Hayneedle saying the second transaction from PayPal credit didn't go through and I owed the price of the item. I used PayPal credit because of their 6 month no interest policy. I was told by the account manager at Hayneedle I could not use PayPal credit and must instead use another payment method. I called Holly at Hayneedle and after a long call, realized she would not acknowledge any error in double billing, saying it was PayPal's fault.
I asked her if she would at least contact PayPal to tell them of this problem of a double bill and she said that was not something Hayneedle does. All I wanted is for her to make sure this didn't happen to anyone else, but that was too hard for her. I paid using a credit card, which I did NOT want to do and feel that Hayneedle's unprofessionalism at dispute resolution means I won't use them again.

Purchased in April 2015 and 6 months later started falling apart. After two months some king of white material began to ooze from the table top on to the deck. Five months later a piece of the mosaic just fell out. The finish on the chair seat just peels off. Began to rust on some areas within 30 days. I no longer have a receipt but called Hayneedle and representative was able to look my order up. Would not budge on the 30 day return. I won't buy from them again and I recommend to all to AVOID!

The 30" Directors Chair has a step in order to seat yourself. The chair WILL NOT close after assembly. The step is incorrectly designed and you must carry a screwdriver with you in order to fold the chair. VERY, VERY POOR DESIGN. It can be corrected if someone would take the time to contact CHINA and show them with a diagram how it can be corrected. Hayneedle knows of the problem, but has not taken the chair off their merchandise list... I recommend other sources, BUT look at the chair's STEP before purchasing.

I ordered a bar for my basement from Hayneedle.com. The shipment was delivered and there were some minor scratches and imperfections but I was willing to live with that. I assemble the bar and realize that Hayneedle.com has not shipped me the four feet that go on the bottom of the bar and allow it not to sit on the ground. When I contact Hayneedle.com, they inform me they have no extra supplies/parts for this part and cannot help me. They told me they can do an exchange but I would have to disassemble it and send it back on my own time.
I do not understand how a reputable company can have the inability to fulfill an order and when they cannot follow their own QA process to ensure all the parts are located in the box, they then botch the customer service exchange/refund/credit process. Terrible customer experience for me and I will make sure that I never shop here again and spread the word to others about this experience.

HAYNEEDLE WHITE GLOVE SERVICE SUCKS! Bought a bunk bed/desk set for our daughter and paid an additional $150 for what we thought was assembly. We asked the delivery people what was included BEFORE they walked in the door and were told that they would only unpack the items and take the empty boxes away so I politely declined. When I called to get a refund I was told that since they carried the boxes into the house that they would still hold me accountable for $100 worth of the white-glove service. Lame.

I ordered a corporate gift basket to be sent to the hotel that I work at so I can take with me when I go visit some clients. I called a week after it was supposed to arrive to follow up. Upon talking with the customer service rep, he told me they do not deliver to hotels because they "get lost too much." (Oh okay) He also listed other places they do not deliver to. I asked him why I wasn't ever informed. And it turns out they did send a brief email stating that it was canceled but not why that I found in my junk folder (not their fault) along will the billion spam newsletters they send with it *rolls eyes*.
Then, I asked if it is written somewhere on their site and he said "Yeah, it is probably under policies and all that jargon at the bottom" (jargon, lol).. I thought okay policy is policy. THEN he told me it wasn't because I was in a hotel, they actually cancelled it because it was out of stock. Recommendations: Update your site to show only items that are in stock. Since you have a WHOLE section for CORPORATE gift baskets you should probably list all the places you don't send items to.

Originally purchased a porch swing for a Mother's day present. Upon arrival, I opened the box and quickly noticed that two pieces of wood already had significant cracks (and one piece was structural in nature). Of course returning was a bear, having to purchase another one first and use that box to return the original.
Fast forward 21 months later, I unwrapped the (replacement) swing from its winter tarp, and found that the left arm support (and main support point) was structurally cracked. The swing was not left to the elements over the winter, keep in mind. I contacted Hayneedle, shared the pictures, and informed them that this particular product must be universally defective due to its type of wood, and also asking for a concession in trying to find a replacement. I am the first to acknowledge that its 12 month warranty was expired, but on a more basic level, an outdoor swing - when maintained and protected from the elements, and used MAYBE a total of 20 times - should not break down in the manner it did.
The best Hayneedle offered me was $50 off for a replacement, which is comedic when you think that their profit margins are easily in the 30 - 50% range. Effectively, they still wanted to make a decent profit on yet another sale from me. I would not recommend Hayneedle, and share with others to learn from my experience instead of dealing with it yourself.

Return their chairs which were too small. Nowhere on their Return and Exchange Policy do they say that they will charge about 25% of the item value to return them. In fact, it says free shipping and a no nonsense policy if you return to be paid the whole purchase item back. (Note: does NOT say anywhere that you will be charged the shipping, an outrageous amount if you return the item). I shop online frequently and do look at the policies before ordering anything and feel this is a misguided representation. This was and will be the first and only time I will ever shop from Hayneedle and am writing a review to 'warn' other customers.

I read all of the negative reviews about Hayneedle and then checked out their Facebook page and decided to try them out because they seemed committed to customer service. I found a Sauder bookcase that I really liked for $100 less than on Amazon that was sold out on all the other sites. The purchase went smoothly but when the item arrived, it was the wrong bookcase (3 shelf instead of 5, Oiled Pine instead of Jamocha Wood).
I emailed customer service and received an automated message back saying they received my message and their response time is usually 24 hours. Sure enough, the next day I received a message back from a customer service rep. They sent me a return FedEx label and informed me that the bookcase I wanted was out of stock and they had issued me a refund. They also told me when it was expected to be back in stock and that I could repurchase it then.
I scheduled the pick up with FedEx for the next day with my return label and the refund processed to my credit card with no issue. I am fairly certain that the bookcase came directly from the manufacturer so I don't fault Hayneedle for it being out of stock. Secondly, I debated calling them to make sure it was indeed in stock before I ordered since I knew it was out of stock everywhere else. I would certainly recommend Hayneedle and will purchase from them again.

I ordered of sleeper sofa last summer (2014) and paid extra for special delivery to my basement. When I logged into my account a few days later I had noticed that there was an extra order attached to my account for a second and different item. I called to make sure that I was getting the correct item and they assured me that the second item had been attached to my order because of similar way bill numbers, and that they had cleared up the problem.
I waited approximately 1.5 months for the order to arrive. I had to schedule delivery with the shipping company, Federal/Johnson in Bloomington, IL. I was assured that I would be contacted at least a 1/2 hour for delivery...I was not. I just happened to be home on my lunch hour when they arrived. I asked them to put in the basement and they seemed put out, even after I informed them that I had paid extra for that service. They asked me to sign a folded up way bill and were quickly on their way.
I opened to the box and immediately noticed that what I had was not the correct item. The crazy part is that the item had a tag attached to it picturing the item that I had ordered, but the to couch was not even close to the right model. As a matter of fact, the item now in my basement was the one that had been "accidentally" added to my order and that I had been assured had been cleared up! I called Hayneedle and they tried to get to me to purchase the wrong item now sitting in my basement for 20% off. No way, Jose. They offered me a refund and told me it would be credited to my account once it had arrived to their warehouse. I told them that was no good, I had waited a month and a half for it to get here and that I wanted my refund immediately. The representative then offered to refund me immediately if I agreed to give the item to a local charity. Ok, great. No problem. I thought that was the end of it.
Later that evening I began to unpack the item to get it ready for pickup, my friend was on his way with a truck to deliver it to the Salvation Army Restore. It was then that I noticed that I only had received one half of the couch. Not only had they sent me the wrong couch (with the right tag), but it was only the bench portion! No arms, no legs. I noticed I only had Box 1 or 2. I called and told my friend to forget it. I had to call Restore and apologize.
I called Hayneedle and after having to talk to about 4 different people, each time telling my story again, I was told to just throw it away. What? How wasteful. I asked them to ship me the second half and I would be happy to give it away. They told me it was "lost" and it would be more trouble than it was worth to find it. I was not about to pay a $75 disposal fee to have my waste hauler to remove a large item. Finally I got them to agree to send Johnson/Federal to pick it up. They were supposed to call me to schedule a pickup and that Hayneedle would dispose of it. They never called. I called, about 20 times, and they had no idea what I was talking about. This lead to many more calls to Hayneedle. It is going on 2.5 months and still no pickup.
Then I get a call from Federal/Johnson while I am on vacation telling me that they have a package to be delivered. Great! I thought it was the second half of the couch and now I did have something for Restore. I told them I would call them back in a week to schedule because I was out of town. Well, I called a week later and Federal/Johnson to set up a delivery. I was informed that they tried to deliver it multiple times in the past weeks and that they had now sent it back. What? Called Hayneedle again, retold my story a bunch more times. I am told that Federal/Johnson will be calling me to set up a time to pick the item up. Nobody ever called.
Fast forward to Feb 2015. The damn thing is still in my basement. I had to give up for my sanity for a while. I just contacted them a week ago to reschedule a pickup. They tell me, "No problem." I never hear from Federal/Johnson. I get an email from Hayneedle stating that because they have refunded my money and that the item had been shipped back to their warehouse 12/5/14, they considered the case closed. I emailed them back to review the case. I just got another email today stating that Federal/Johnson will be contacting me. Let's see what happens.
The worst part about this is that each time I got a hold of somebody at Hayneedle they say stuff like, "If you would have contacted ME when you originally placed your order, none of this would have ever happened." I ordered it online. I was always fed some BS about how it was another employee's fault, or the shippers fault. Federal/Johnson surely is not coming out smelling like a rose here, but it is Hayneedle's choice to use them and they should take responsibility for that. What kind of company does that? Quit blaming and start fixing. Unbelievable. Who would conduct business like this in this day and age? Hayneedle, that is who.

I purchased a hammock and a stand in JUNE as a Father's Day gift. Everything was fine, ordered online, credit card was processed, item was received within a week and was very pleased with the item. Last week, mind you it is now mid NOVEMBER, I received an email from the billing department at Hayneedle asking me to call them and provide them with a different credit card number since they were unable to process my card originally used. I responded with "I have not purchased anything from you guys since June. I find it a bit odd that 6 months later after I have already received my item that just now you are deciding that my card wasn't billed?" It has been 7 days and I have not heard a response from them which makes me believe that it was just a scam trying to get another $160 from me.
I looked back over my billing statements and my card was indeed charged the amount at the time my order was placed in June. Buyers beware and use caution if you're thinking of making a purchase from Hayneedle. VERY shady, so keep track of your bank accounts/statements and make sure they do not bill you twice or try to bill you again months after your purchase was made.

I read all of the 62 reviews on this place on here (at the time of my purchase at least) & I was very scared because the majority of them were very negative. But I found a ridiculous deal on Hayneedle that I could not pass up. For anyone that hunts or shoots out there, you've probably heard of Zeiss scopes. They have a Zeiss Terra 3x on there right now (Sep '14) for $192... if you know anything about Zeiss getting one new for under $200 is unheard of. Bear in mind this is their bottom of the barrel model, but still an amazing price, it's $300-$350 everywhere else.
So....I went for it! I ponied up the extra $5 for FedEx shipping (highly recommended) since I heard of so many shipping woes & I paid thru PayPal & charged it to my AmEx (thru PayPal) so in case they screwed me over, like everyone else apparently, I could contest it with both and not have to deal direct with Hayneedle only. I ordered on Monday & the scope arrived Friday (today). I haven't field tested it yet, but this scope is crystal clear & definitely is a Zeiss as far as I can tell. Zeiss is even running a $50 rebate at the moment so I think I'm gonna get it for $147. I can't believe it, one of the best deals I've ever gotten.
I feel very bad for everyone that got screwed but hayneedle hooked me up big time. If you see something on there for a crazy deal, you feel like gambling & decide to pull the trigger do it thru PayPal & with FedEx. Also keep in mind that most positive purchasers don't write reviews, mostly negative ones, which compelled me to review. Good luck!!

I ordered a 6" Celestron Telescope, and a number of other related products from Hayneedle.com. After a few days I checked on the status of the product and noticed that they preemptively canceled my order, supposedly for a credit card issue - which they could never explain. It took several calls, a lot of threatening to write a bad review, etc. for them to get on the ball and fix their problem. Even though the telescope delivery was delayed a couple of weeks, they did figure out the problem - were aware of the problem when I called - were pleasant - AND took off a hundred bucks from my order. I'm happy!
