I had the worst customer service experience of my life that has truly taught me to never ever purchase from your store , coming from the most loyal experience of 6 years. 1. The person that came to assemble the bed came way earlier and forced me to allow him to assemble the bed when I wasn’t in the house as he came way earlier and started saying I have other appointments to assemble, an experience I have never had with you before nor pan emirates or homes r us. I understand that each company has their own policy but both stores offer vouchers if the item can’t be returned or offer a certain amount of help. 2. When I reached the house he had at that point assembled the bed and it was too huge for the space. So coming from what the Sharjah Branch informed me and my experience I asked him to de-assemble the bed and return it as I no longer wanted it, it is still not used and it hasn’t been 24 hours. The man refused saying he didn’t have time to de assemble it , considering he didn’t respect our time either and just abruptly left and told us to contact customer service. After being placed on a waiting line for 1 hour, the woman who talked to me answered by simply reciting the rules without attempting to find a solution or even being helpful and all she cared about was finishing ye conversation and rushing me. Considering your values and I quote are “ delivering outstanding value, continuous innovation , and exceptional customer experience” that conversation and your policy does not relate or even come close to that promise. 3. I don’t understand how you are willing to sell an in store scratched item , especially if it was last piece , yet you can’t return an opened item because that “doesn’t do good to offering a great quality to the other customer receiving the product”. The hypocrisy is evident considering if you truly cared you wouldn’t even be selling in store scratched items or even having that as an option, yet you can’t return an unused bed that was forcibly assembled, and came too early based on the time we asked for it to be delivered, and received the rudest customer experience for the assembler and the on call agent, without even offering a voucher or at least a half refund or even taking the bed which I no longer want. I’m incredibly astonished at the “Most customer friendly retailer” tittle you display proudly on your store as of today on your website. I didn’t have that experience with pan emirates when I also returned an assembled glass dresser. I ask that you do better, train your employees whether it’s the assemblers or the one call agent to actually provide help rather than reciting rules because I can guarantee I am not the first nor last customer to face this issue. Please contact me back to resolve the issue of invoice number 40009208290820230520 as after being a loyal customer of 6 years this will officially be the last time I ever purchase from your store.
Update as of 9:05: after speaking to some sort of manager for a long period of time via a phone call, here’s my last statement. I hope the bed was worth you losing any stream of money I would have placed towards your brand. After talking to a manager I would like to say you made a big mistake and do better when revising your policies as when faced when such a repeated issue certain changes should be made, to upkeep with your new identity you are trying to build, based on the official website of UAE that states:
“Home Centre offers outstanding value, quality products, and exceptional customer experience which is revealed in their new brand identity that is underpinned by their customer-first approach of enabling every home to tell its own unique story”. It truly saddens me as my family has purchased from your brand for years but it seems that your new identity doesn’t really care about customer service..
