Well last month i bought a sofa from them. At first they were supposed to deliver on the 15th, well they delayed it 2 weeks because of some special order fabric, and rescheduled the delivery to tommorow. Well i just called to confirm the order and they said its going to take another day. They messed up and forgot to put the reorder in the system so i have to wait again. First mistake they took off the delivery charge. Now my g/f just got done bitching them out and any guesses how much money they will take off??

I'm getting all new furniture when we move. Been trying to phase out the IKEA **** ever since we got it, but it served it's purpose, I can't complain. You gotta buy what you can afford at the time.



I've never even heard of sofa express. I know if you buy from a local place they usually stock one color and if it isn't the one you want it can be up to 6 months.

I once waited about nine months for a nice Thomasville headboard from a local furniture store. At that point, I called them and told them to shove it up their butts and give me my money back, which they did.



I think when I buy furniture again, it will be from a place called The Dump, which stocks overruns and discontinued items. If you're sitting on it, you can buy it, and take it with you that day.

I ordered a chaise and got it 3 days later.



but I never have stuff delivered to my house, I have them deliver it to the local store, and I borrow a truck and pick it up.



And am I the only person who doesn't call it a "sofa?" I prefer couch.

most places, custom orders or anything like that dont even acknoledge an order until the fabric comes in. i can relate to how mad you are. i have people in my work that wait 12 weeks for a piece of furniture, then the 1 week to ship it too. my upholstery company does orders in about 6-8 weeks. now that is quick!

Well its coming tommorow hopefully and they are going to take money off for messing up twice. But today some furniture came( coffee table and 2 small tables) well we paid 80$ for the delivery about a mile and for them to put it together. Well they came and i let them in, i was watching tv and wasnt really paying attention to them and i sign his paper. Well when i turn around to see them putting them together they were gone.... left the box and rolled out. So im like wtf i paid money for them to put it together. So i call them up and tell them to come back and put it together, and when they show up an hour later i didnt answer my door. LOL

i put it together myself and i was laughing when they came. They deserved it though, trying to be lazy does not pay off...
