Good Afternoon Ms***, Thank you for choosing Bob's Discount FurnitureI have researched your account and apologize that the power lift chair and goof proof plan have failed to meet your expectations.Our records indicate that one of the chair motors was replaced in
May 2013, after our technician confirmed that the motor mounts were defectiveThe part was replaced under the manufacturer warranty not the goof proof planFast forward to your recent claim May 2015, our technical visited your home after you reported that the chair would not liftUpon inspection the technician indicated that there was a short in the remote and it would work off an on when he shakes itAccording to the comments from the day of service you indicated that you sat on the remote and believed that it began to malfunction after that incident and assumed that your goof proof plan would cover the repair or replacement of the remoteGoof proof is designed to provide coverage against most common types of in home accidental damage however, the remote is considered an accessory/hardware, which is not covered.Given the date of delivery, expiration of the manufacturer warranty (against the remote) and cause of damage, you would be responsible for the cost of the part as well as installation however, Bob's Discount Furniture appreciates your business and as a courtesy I will place a $credit on your account which you can use toward the purchase of the $remote and we will install/program, at no charge.I apologize if you believe the plan was misrepresentedI have attached copies of the goof proof plan as well as the manufacturer warranty.

Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:
I feel that the only reason I am getting any type of response from Bob's is because of my complaint through the Revdex.com, which should not have gone that far A Bob's representative named *** called me and stated I would receive an overnighted check that I would be able to pick up from the *** ** store on Saturday not Friday Bob's tells people what they think people want to hear instead of the truth Why tell the Revdex.com that the check would be there on Friday when that's not the truth? I'm very unhappy and dissatisfied with the entire outcome, but I guess it doesn't matter because Bob's chose to do things their way instead of the correct way I guess I have no choice but to pick my check up on Saturday instead of today Friday April 24th as stated in Bob's response, after waiting days
Sincerely,

We are sincerely sorry that this customer is experiencing issues
with the merchandise that they purchased from Bob’s. I see the purchase was delivered in April of
2011. At the time the sale was created
the customer purchased *** ***. This
gave the customer five years of protection from accidental damagesThe
warranty for manufacturing defects was one year. This customer is considerably outside of the
one year warranty.
We sent a service technician out to the home on 3/8/16. When this was set up, it was made clear to
the customer that this was a “Best Effort Service”. We were happy to send the tech to the home to
repair whatever might be able to be repaired, but it would not include parts or
replacement. This was again explained to
the customer after the service was completed
In an effort to ensure our customer’s claim was handled fairly by
*** I was able to obtain the denial
reasoning in reference to this claim.
*** has the right to deny claims for coverage under their own
guidelines and has presented enough evidence to us to support the claim being
deniedWhile we truly wish we could, we are unable to force another business
into overturning a claimNone of the issues were reported to *** as
verifiable accidents, for each damage, the customer answered that they did not
know how or when the damages occurred.
The customer admitted they were outside the policy limits for reporting
damages.
As this customer is far outside the one year warranty and we have already had a
Best Effort Service appointment, we are not able to offer any recourse to this

Good
Afternoon

I
am very sorry for the disappointment you are experiencing with your bonded
leather setI assure you that Bobs Discount Furniture cares very much to
satisfy all our customers and we stand behind the quality of our products even
after the expiration of our one year guarantee period
Bonded Leather offers the look of luxury at a much more affordable price point
and as its name depicts, bonded leather is
real leather that is adhered (or bonded) to a fabric backing with a strong
adhesiveOver time and with any amount of usage the heat from our bodies and
friction from use causes expansion of the molecules that join the bonded
leather to the fabric backingBonded Leather is manufactured the same way
industry wide and peeling over time is not isolated to the bonded leather
products we sell at Bobs Discount FurnitureIf you continue to
purchase/maintain bonded leather furniture in your home regretfully peeling can
occur based on the nature of this material’s manufacturing process You
have had this set for over four years and in that four year period our records
indicate that you had not reported any issues before January The Bobs
warranty on your merchandise expired over three years ago and as this concern
does not stem from a factory defect in the product’s workmanship and is viewed
as wear and tear industry wide, we are able to make a store credit offer
to from a place of extreme courtesy and careAs with most protection plans the *** ***
Plan purchased does not cover wear and tear this courtesy option is not
in relation to the plan purchased as it is being offered to you by Bobs
directly
If you would like to reselect to a different set, made of a different material
that may fit your furniture needs better we can offer to credit you 60% of the
original cost you paid for both the *** sectional, this would be a
reselection credit. We would waive a new
delivery fee and expect to pick up the *** set when we deliver the new
pieces
Please
let me know if this option for resolution is acceptable to you and I will
process the necessary paperwork and have our retail location contact you to
make you aware of your available credit
Kind Regards,

contact this customer directly on the phone number provided to the Revdex.com
I was only able to leave a voicemail this morning
(11.24.2015) and have provided the customer with my direct phone number for

Customer Care Corporate Liaison
Please pass on my sincerest
apologies to this customer for the product concerns that have been causing him
stressAs explained in his complaint we have made more than a valid effort to
address and confirm what recourses were available for his specific concernWe
brought the same exact item out to him on and the same issue is still
presentRegretfully, sending this customer another exchange for the same item
is not going to correct the concern he hasEven after we honored his request
on we sent our technician to his residence to confirm or deny what the
customer was seeing as a defectAs a business and in the best interest of our
customer we are unable to schedule another exchange for the same merchandise
The odds are in favor of this issue still being present and as we are not manufacturing
these items ourselves we do not want to risk wasting any more of our customer’s
valuable time
In an effort to satisfy our
customer we can offer the following options for resolution:
Option #1: Concession to keep
as is-
We can refund the customer 10% of
the original cost of the sectional to keep these pieces as isAcceptance of
this option would not affect his Goof Proof Plus Plan and the monetary refund
would be credited to his original method of payment
-OR-
Option #2: Reselection to a
different living room set-
We can place a store credit in
our system to reflect the original cost the customer paid for the sectional and
his newly purchased Goof Proof Plus PlanThe customer will then have two
months to return to any of our showrooms and select a different living room set
that may fit his needs betterWe would remove the sectional and deliver his
new items on the same day so we have as little impact to his life as possible
Please apologize to this customer again for me
that he has had to spend so much time trying to get this issue resolvedIn seeking
to address his concern we do not want to disappoint him further and bringing
him the same merchandise could cause him more inconvenience
Please let me know how this customer
would like to proceed after reading our response

Good Afternoon Revdex.com-
We sincerely apologizeI went through the past exchanges and I do
see the same issue noted in those. I am
so glad that we can offer resolution based on this information. I tried calling both numbers on the account
to offer my apology in person for my error
We can offer this customer’s choice of options-
We can offer a reselection credit based on the
amount paid. This would fulfill the Goof
Proof warranty as it only allows for a one time replacement. We would create the credit, the customer
would go back to store to reselect, the store would use the credit towards the
new merchandise, we would wave the new delivery feeWhen the team deliveries
the new merchandise they would remove the *** set
We can offer a concession to keep. This would be a percent back as a
refund. You would be keeping it with no
effect on the warranty. If the only
issue at present is the bottom, this might be an option that will work for
you. We can offer you a refund of $
as a corporate check
If you would like to accept one of these offers, please respond
with the offer that would work best for you and I will create the
paperwork. Thank you,

line-height: 15pt;">We are sincerely sorry that this customer
is experiencing issues with the merchandise that they purchased from
Bob’s. I see the purchase was made in November
2011. At the time the sale was created
the customer purchased *** ***. This
*** *** plan offered the customer five years on accidental damages. Damage that occurred from an accident or
single incident would need be reported to ***. They would then access the damage and offer
recourse
This merchandise came with a one year
warranty against manufacturing defects. We
sent our tech out to perform a “Best Effort Service”When the service was
created we explained to the customer that we were outside of the warranty, but
we could have our technician come to the home to repair anything that could be
repaired with the stock supplies in the technician van. He would also access if the damage could be
corrected through a customer purchase part order
The technician reported that he was not
able to make any repairsHe did advise that he saw mostly wear for a
set that has been in the home for over four years. wear is not a defect and is not
covered under the warranty for accidents.
As this merchandise is far
outside of the one year warranty we have no recourse to offer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
The business has provided a refund check and $gift card If they honor the additional $dollar gift card I would consider this to be resolved
I do think Bobs needs to seriously step back and take a look at their customer service because it should not have to resort to Revdex.com inquiries in order to get a suitable resolution
Moreover, the delivery logistics need to be dissected Simple google searches yield nothing but problems with the delivery process, and while I understand this happens, its too often
and handling any purchase/delivery disaster initially for a $order with a $gift card is not the way to go
I will end this by saying this process has been an over month headache, but I am happy to see a further handling of my concern and an honest answer finally from Bobs I was not expecting anything more in reference to my complaint, but I am glad to have heard back

Good
Afternoon
***
I
am very sorry for the disappointment you are experiencing with your bonded
leather setI assure you that Bobs Discount Furniture cares very much to
satisfy all our customers and we stand behind the quality of our products even
after the expiration of our one year guarantee period
Bonded Leather offers the look of luxury at a much more affordable price point
and as its name depicts, bonded leather is
real leather that is adhered (or bonded) to a fabric backing with a strong
adhesiveOver time and with any amount of usage the heat from our bodies and
friction from use causes expansion of the molecules that join the bonded
leather to the fabric backingBonded Leather is manufactured the same way
industry wide and peeling over time is not isolated to the bonded leather
products we sell at Bobs Discount FurnitureIf you continue to
purchase/maintain bonded leather furniture in your home regretfully peeling can
occur based on the nature of this material’s manufacturing process You
have had this set for over four years and in that four year period our records
indicate that you had not reported any issues before January The Bobs
warranty on your merchandise expired over three years ago and as this concern
does not stem from a factory defect in the product’s workmanship and is viewed
as wear and tear industry wide, we are able to make a store credit offer
to from a place of extreme courtesy and careAs with most protection plans the *** ***
Plan purchased does not cover wear and tear this courtesy option is not
in relation to the plan purchased as it is being offered to you by Bobs
directly
If you would like to reselect to a different set, made of a different material
that may fit your furniture needs better we can offer to credit you 60% of the
original cost you paid for both the *** sectional, this would be a
reselection credit. We would waive a new
delivery fee and expect to pick up the *** set when we deliver the new
pieces
Please
let me know if this option for resolution is acceptable to you and I will
process the necessary paperwork and have our retail location contact you to
make you aware of your available credit
Kind Regards,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID***In response to the comment made in regards to me having to use a blow up mattress to sleep, I purchased a mattress through a separate company and was not going to use a brand new mattress to sleep with on the floor so therefore another form of a mattress to use to sleep was needed Also I will call customer care once my delivery is completed to address that I will not be paying for a delivery charge due to the inconvenience of my sleeping condition and also taking a half a day off from my busy work schedule to wait around for my delivery today
Sincerely, *** ***

face="Calibri">Please pass on our sincerest apologies to our customer and
assure them that we take full ownership for the failures that have occurred to
cause them so much frustration
As we are willing to review this customer’s concern and
desired settlement at an escalated level I have personally made an effort to
contact this customer directly on the phone number provided to the Revdex.com
I was only able to leave a voicemail this morning
(11.24.2015) and have provided the customer with my direct phone number for
further follow up on this concern (###-###-####)
I am looking forward to speaking with our customer directly
at their earliest convenience
Kindest Regards,

Good Afternoon Revdex.com,
Please pass on my sincerest
apologies to this customer for the product concerns that have been causing him
stressAs explained in his complaint we have made more than a valid effort to
address and confirm what recourses were available for his specific concernWe
brought the same exact item out to him on and the same issue is still
presentRegretfully, sending this customer another exchange for the same item
is not going to correct the concern he hasEven after we honored his request
on we sent our technician to his residence to confirm or deny what the
customer was seeing as a defectAs a business and in the best interest of our
customer we are unable to schedule another exchange for the same merchandise
The odds are in favor of this issue still being present and as we are not manufacturing
these items ourselves we do not want to risk wasting any more of our customer’s
valuable time
In an effort to satisfy our
customer we can offer the following options for resolution:
Option #1: Concession to keep
as is-
We can refund the customer 10% of
the original cost of the sectional to keep these pieces as isAcceptance of
this option would not affect his Goof Proof Plus Plan and the monetary refund
would be credited to his original method of payment
-OR-
Option #2: Reselection to a
different living room set-
We can place a store credit in
our system to reflect the original cost the customer paid for the sectional and
his newly purchased Goof Proof Plus PlanThe customer will then have two
months to return to any of our showrooms and select a different living room set
that may fit his needs betterWe would remove the sectional and deliver his
new items on the same day so we have as little impact to his life as possible
Please apologize to this customer again for me
that he has had to spend so much time trying to get this issue resolvedIn seeking
to address his concern we do not want to disappoint him further and bringing
him the same merchandise could cause him more inconvenience
Please let me know how this customer
would like to proceed after reading our response
Kind Regards,

Good Afternoon Revdex.com-
We sincerely apologizeI went through the past exchanges and I do
see the same issue noted in those. I am
so glad that we can offer resolution based on this information. I tried calling both numbers on the account
to offer my apology in person for my error
We can offer this customer’s choice of options-
We can offer a reselection credit based on the
amount paid. This would fulfill the Goof
Proof warranty as it only allows for a one time replacement. We would create the credit, the customer
would go back to store to reselect, the store would use the credit towards the
new merchandise, we would wave the new delivery feeWhen the team deliveries
the new merchandise they would remove the *** set
We can offer a concession to keep. This would be a percent back as a
refund. You would be keeping it with no
effect on the warranty. If the only
issue at present is the bottom, this might be an option that will work for
you. We can offer you a refund of $
as a corporate check
If you would like to accept one of these offers, please respond
with the offer that would work best for you and I will create the
paperwork. Thank you,

line-height: 15pt;">We are sincerely sorry that this customer
is experiencing issues with the merchandise that they purchased from
Bob’s. I see the purchase was made in November
2011. At the time the sale was created
the customer purchased *** ***. This
*** *** plan offered the customer five years on accidental damages. Damage that occurred from an accident or
single incident would need be reported to ***. They would then access the damage and offer
recourse
This merchandise came with a one year
warranty against manufacturing defects. We
sent our tech out to perform a “Best Effort Service”When the service was
created we explained to the customer that we were outside of the warranty, but
we could have our technician come to the home to repair anything that could be
repaired with the stock supplies in the technician van. He would also access if the damage could be
corrected through a customer purchase part order
The technician reported that he was not
able to make any repairsHe did advise that he saw mostly wear for a
set that has been in the home for over four years. wear is not a defect and is not
covered under the warranty for accidents.
As this merchandise is far
outside of the one year warranty we have no recourse to offer

taking ownership for the agreements we have made to any customer and will address
the coaching concerns our customer has presented to us with urgency
In regards to the *** claim the customer has opened for
the accidental damage, this claim is currently being handled directly thru the*** company
Under claim #*** the *** company cites that they
have been trying to reach the customer by phone continually since to
discuss the claimTheir records cite that the customer’s telephone number goes
straight to voicemail and does not even ring; they are unable to leave a
message because the message machine indicates that it is at capacity
I have attached the letter that the*** company has
mailed to the customer as of today (1.22.2015) for your review as well as the
customer’sThe *** company has been trying to dispatch a service
technician to the customer’s home to address the concern she reported to them
Given the partner agreements we maintain with this third
party company we are not permitted to insert ourselves into a claim that is
actively being handled by their companyAt this time we encourage the customer
to respond to the *** company via the directions provided in the attached

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.
The business has provided a refund check and $gift card If they honor the additional $dollar gift card I would consider this to be resolved
I do think Bobs needs to seriously step back and take a look at their customer service because it should not have to resort to Revdex.com inquiries in order to get a suitable resolution
Moreover, the delivery logistics need to be dissected Simple google searches yield nothing but problems with the delivery process, and while I understand this happens, its too often
and handling any purchase/delivery disaster initially for a $order with a $gift card is not the way to go
I will end this by saying this process has been an over month headache, but I am happy to see a further handling of my concern and an honest answer finally from Bobs I was not expecting anything more in reference to my complaint, but I am glad to have heard back
Sincerely,
*** ***
