    Ordered a planter from Wayfair, Delivery date has been changed 3 times and still no delivery. Has been well over a month now. Called customer service twice and was told system was down, call back tomorrow. Would never purchase anything from Wayfair again. Amazon may not be perfect but are leaps ahead of Wayfair.

    Very disappointing experience. I ordered a loveseat sleeper on May 17, but Wayfair cancelled it due to "unavailability." Two days later, the same item was listed again, so I reordered it, only to be told it was backordered. After that came repeated delays, generic responses, and no clear delivery information. Even after escalating the issue, I received only template replies. The biggest problem was the inaccurate inventory information and poor communication. Wayfair could not provide a delivery date, offer a suitable alternative, or adequately address the issue. Based on this experience, I have little confidence in their inventory management or customer service.

      Have been a long time customer of Wayfair and overall have been satisfied until recently. The quality for the price is excellent (most of the times) and shipping is typically fast from my experience with some exceptions, but they are up front if something will be shipped much later. Now for the bad part, their customer service is terrible. They are typically respectful but their willingness to help is opposed by either them not caring or Wayfair policies not allowing them to fix simple issues. They seem to rather lose customer than help them which in the end has an impact on their bottom line. I can go on about how bad my experience has been with my last order and getting customer "service" but it would be very lengthy. Again, you pay for what you get. So expect bad customer service if something happens to go wrong with your order.

      I recently purchased a mattress from Wayfair, LLC manufactured by (Alwyn Home SKU# CEVN1000) based on the product description and marketing materials, which stated it was made from CertiPUR-US certified polyurethane foam — a standard I trust for safety and environmental compliance. However, upon receiving and inspecting the mattress, I discovered it was filled with animal hair, which are coming out from every sides. This was never disclosed in the listing. This omission is misleading, fraudulent, unethical, and raises serious health and safety concerns. I contacted Wayfair to address the issue, but they refused to work with me toward a resolution. This has resulted in both financial loss and a complete loss of trust in the brand.

      Ordered outdoor patio set. Table came in waiting for chair after 3 weeks. I called Wayfair after I saw they were delayed. Was told they had them in stock and they would investigate why they weren't shipped out. Was told if I didn't get a email by Friday to call back. Monday called again. Told same thing. Called that Thursday to cancel order. Was told they were on backorder and came in waiting for FedEx to pick up. Ended up seeing the same set at Home Depot for $1000 cheaper. They said they didn't price match. Be aware before buying from Wayfair. You will not get a straight answer and will pay more than if you shopped around.

      After ordering an advertised item, Wayfair accepted payment, but subsequently cancelled my order due to "product no longer available". Meanwhile, the item was reposted to their website at three times the price. This is misrepresentation and breach of a legal purchase contract. Instead of honoring a legal contract, they offered a 10% discount coupon. Shop elsewhere.

      This has been the most stressful situation ever!!! I ordered 1 theater sofa 2 TV stands a dining table and chairs, another sofa and rug and living room table with assembly, not cheap. Living room table was delayed or lost, had to reorder all the other furniture was left outside the front door. They won't even bring it in. I had to beg them to bring in the large sofa. I scheduled the assembly, but no one showed up! I took a whole day from WORK to get this done. Had to call in and was told the worker had to go home. Still on the phone trying to schedule things that should have already been assembled. My gut is telling me to just send all of it back.

      I ordered blue pillows that looked like a bright sort of tealish blue. They are not like that. They are like a dull grey blue. I try to return them and get this guy from India who tells me I have to go online and fill out this whole return form. He leads me to this random website that doesn't have Wayfair's name anywhere on it and we just didn't want to get hacked. I asked if he could just send me new pillow covers in yellow and he says I have to fill out the same form. Way too much work for these cheap products. Easy return systems like Amazon is way better to use! Never again.

      These lights look great! However one has burnt out on the top end. I contacted Wayfair several times via chat, email and phone and they will not resolve this issue. The website page clearly states: Warranty This product comes with a 3-year warranty for your rights and benefits as a customer, satisfaction guaranteed. However this is not true. Wayfair tells me it's only a 30 day return. They then transfer me to the manufactures phone and it ends up being a disconnected line. I call back and they make an exception however don't even send enough wayfair credit to reorder the replacement. So now I'm expected to pay more just to get this warranty done. This is a scam. It's bad business and they should treat their customers better. The light should last for more than 1.5 years. I'm very disappointed in this transaction and do not recommend shopping on wayfair. They are crooks. Ordered On: September 25, 2024 Wayfair Order #**

      I always thought Wayfair was a great company. Their way to solve issues was to send an entire new unit. I bought 2 marching cabinets. I put them together which did take days. I got towards the end and found the last door had holes on the wrong side. I contacted customer service. I only wanted a new door. I was told the door by itself would take a long time to get, will I accept another cabinet to replace the door. I told them if it was faster send a new unit. I didn’t want a new unit. I received it and looked for the door. It turned out the unit was not what I had. It was a totally different unit. I was told if I wanted to drill the holes in the back by myself, then I could get a percentage refund. So now I am stuck either way a door that has holes on the outside.

      Wayfair is now partnered with Angi, one of the worst companies on planet earth. Years ago I needed a handyman, and Angi sold my phone number to spammers and made my phone unusable - I had to switch numbers. Then, when I saw Wayfair had partnered with Angi, I thought maybe it had changed. Boy, was I wrong. Angi is still a despicable company and untrustworthy brand, and Wayfair is damaging their own brand by association. I ordered two small curtain tracks, which would obviously be installed by one guy. I paid for Angi to have someone install them, and instead of hiring one person, Angi hired two for the same job. I only received messages from one, and he came and did the job, but charged me extra for having to do the second track. It was a 30 min job.

      Then, after he had left I got an email from a “pro” that just said “hi”… nothing else… and I obviously deleted the email because it looked like spam. Now, Angi is saying I have to pay the guy who sent the “hi” email, because THEY booked two “pros” for one 30 min job. Angi is an incompetent, fraudulent, dodgy operation that has always been run by imbeciles. As a result of Wayfair partnering with Angi, I have lost trust in their ability to deliver quality. I will be taking a break from ordering through the Wayfair site, and hope they will permanently sever their ties with such a disreputable brand as Angi.

      My experience with Wayfair customer service was incredibly disappointing and unnecessarily frustrating from start to finish. What should have been a simple request regarding a price adjustment turned into days of contradictory information, poor communication, and a completely mishandled return process. I originally contacted Wayfair because a dining set I had just purchased — before delivery — dropped nearly $1,000 in price. I reasonably asked if they could offer store credit for the difference rather than forcing me to return and repurchase the exact same item. Instead of working toward a customer-friendly solution, I was told Wayfair does not price match.

      After being informed the only option was to return the set and reorder it, I carefully confirmed the return shipping fee multiple times. I was explicitly told the refund would be the purchase price minus a $420 return shipping charge. Based on that information, I agreed to proceed. Things quickly became chaotic after that. I later changed my mind and clearly stated I wanted to keep the dining set at the current price. I specifically documented in writing that I did not confirm a final return decision. Despite this, Wayfair representatives continued processing the return anyway while simultaneously sending contradictory messages asking whether I still wanted to proceed. At one point they even admitted they needed to “review the communication history” to determine whether I had actually confirmed the return — because the conversation clearly showed uncertainty and conflicting communication.

      The most frustrating part was that Wayfair’s own website policy stated customers can cancel a return request if they change their mind, yet support repeatedly claimed my return could no longer be reversed. Even after I sent screenshots of their written policy, representatives continued giving inconsistent explanations that directly contradicted each other and the website.

      The refund handling was equally concerning. I was refunded amounts that did not align with what I was originally told, and I had to point out that the purchase price minus the agreed shipping fee still had not been correctly refunded. Meanwhile, all tracking information continued showing the furniture as “shipped” and “in transit,” despite support claiming the return had already been processed. Throughout the entire experience, I received scripted apologies instead of actual answers. No one seemed able to explain:

      * Whether my return was actually canceled or processed
      * Why their written policy contradicted support statements
      * Why tracking still showed active shipments
      * Why refund amounts were inconsistent

      * Why I never received the confirmation emails their own policy referenced

      For a purchase of this size, I expected professionalism, transparency, and competent customer support. Instead, I experienced confusion, contradictions, and a complete lack of accountability. This process felt disorganized and stressful from beginning to end. Based on this experience, I would be extremely hesitant to purchase from Wayfair again.

      Very disappointed with Wayfair customer service. I was told by one associate that I could use a 10% discount code, only to later be told by another associate that I couldn’t. The live chat system is extremely frustrating — if you accidentally leave the page, the chat disconnects and you lose the conversation. Since Wayfair doesn’t keep a log of previous chats, I had to repeatedly explain the same issue to 4-5 different associates over the course of an hour, only to be told there was “no solution.” To make matters worse, they couldn’t even send me the review/chat link afterward due to a supposed “technical glitch.” Overall, a very time-consuming and disappointing customer service experience.

      I made an order with 6 recliners and I paid for the assembly service with Angi. I made appointments for the third party to come and assemble. Wayfair included chair and stool assembly on my order which is not right and the angi pro comes in and tells us that this is not the right thing and leaves. In spite of me making multiple calls to Wayfair and also Angi, no one gets this resolved to have my recliners assembled till now. This was my first time placing an order with Wayfair and also paid for the reward membership which is just a waste. Worst customer service, I would give no stars.

NEVER PLACED AN ORDER FOR IT, but found out by email that somehow an order for the rewards program went through without EVER entering a credit or debit card#. I immediately went to the order and cancelled it, but it said the membership is still good until next year. After speaking with several reps including a manager, they all gave me the same BULLSHIT responce that it cannot be canceled. I will be contacting the NY’s Attorney General, the Consumer Fraud Dept, the BBB and every other service I can find as well as calling my bank to stop the payment!!!

      During the last 7 years, we bought close to $20K of merchandise up to now with satisfaction. Now I had to call twice to correct their mistake on delivery address (very important). Then they gave me a delivery date of today, but with the tracking I noticed that it is only going to be delivered next Monday, 2 days from now and the tracking said it arrived in a depot at 2.10 am.. 3 hours from the delivery address?? I called their customer service and the lady didn’t have any answer as to why it was there without being moved! She never offered to contact FedEx or anything, They used to be much more helpful and efficient than that.

      I had a very negative experience with Wayfair’s checkout process and customer service. During checkout using the iPhone web browser, not the Wayfair app, the shipping-selection section displayed all shipping options — including Expedited and Express shipping — as “FREE.” I selected expedited shipping because the option itself was clearly marked “FREE.” After placing the order, I discovered that Wayfair charged me $49.99 for that shipping selection. In my opinion, an option cannot be represented as “FREE” if selecting it results in a fee. A later order-summary calculation does not change the fact that the shipping option was labeled free at the point of selection. The “Place Your Order” button appeared directly below the shipping selections on the visible mobile browser screen. The $49.99 charge appeared farther down the page, outside the visible area, after the checkout section had already presented the shipping option as free.

      I provided screenshots to Wayfair customer service showing the shipping options marked “FREE.” Customer service refused to directly address the contradiction and instead stated that expedited shipping fees are calculated later in checkout. That explanation does not resolve the issue. If there is a fee attached to expedited shipping, it should not be labeled “FREE” in the shipping-selection section. I believe this is a misleading checkout presentation that can reasonably cause customers to select a paid shipping option while believing it is free.
