On October 13, 2016, I ordered two cabinets from Overstock.com:

  • The part (Hinge Plates M-2) that allows the doors to be connected to the cabinet were missing for both of the cabinets.
  • There was a notification providing an email address to request missing parts, which I used detailing all information regarding the product and the name and number of the missing parts.
  • It took between 7-10 days to receive these parts, and when I opened the package, Metal Hinges (7/8”) w/Spring-M-1 had been sent, rather than the correct Hinge Plates M-2, needed to put the cabinets together.
  • At this time I contacted Overstock.com directly, and told them I wanted the correct parts overnighted immediately, and  was told the warehouse did not overnight parts.
  • I did get a voice message saying the parts would be delivered on Tuesday or Wednesday, they were delivered on Saturday when I was out of town.
  • When this second shipment of parts was opened on, November 26, 2016, again I had been sent Metal Hinges (7/8”) w/Spring-M-1 had been sent, rather than the correct Hinge Plates M-2, needed to put the cabinets together. I now have 16 of the incorrect parts and 0 of parts needed to make the purchased product usable.

 

After realized I had again been sent the wrong parts, I contacted Overstock.com on Saturday, November 26, 2016, and was told the warehouse was closed.  But McKenzie the customer service representative assured me, that she got to work at 7:30AM MDT, on Monday, November 28, 2016, and would immediately contact the warehouse and provide me an update by telephone at 10:00AM.  I made arrangements to be home at this time but, THIS CALL NEVER CAME!!!!

 I then spent between 30 to 45 minutes on the Overstock.com’s live chat, receiving apologies for the inconvenience, non-answers about some technical issues precluding their ability to contact to me, and finally an “assurance” that I would be contacted by 5:00PM MDT.  However, shortly after this I received an email saying I would be contacted within 24 hours.  So which is it?  5:00PM today or within 24 hours.  Based on the number of commitments that have been made by your company, none of which have been met, I suspect it is neither.  I will not hear from you except automatically generated messages that do not resolve the problem.

 In summary, your company has had my money for 6 weeks and I have a completely unusable product stacked in pieces around my dining room walls.  Additionally, you have demonstrated a complete and total unwillingness to do anything that would expedite the resolution of this problem which is a result of problems in your operation.  Your only solution is to return the product putting the entire responsibility on the customer to work out getting a 100 loose pieces with wooden pegs and metal pins put in them as part of the attempt to put this item together into some kind of container.
