Bob’s Discount Furniture has misrepresented its “**** ***** Protection” plans given customers’ claims can be denied “on almost any basis,” including if a buyer cannot identify the exact date on which a tear or stain occurred. They make you buy this expensive protection plan for the sale person to get more money but when you call to fix something or to replace you are denied and the couches that I purchased don't recline and are damaged the same with the bed I bought the wood is breaking and I call them and they refuse to fix it when the warranty says it covers everything I want my couches fix and bed frame or my money back. Also they have a lot of law suits because of this ******** claims Bob’s is guilty of unjust enrichment, fraud, breach of contract and negligent representation and in violation of multiple state consumer fraud acts, the ******** **** ******** *** and the I******* ******** ***** and Deceptive Business Practices Act.Business response

I bought a sofa from Bob's 2 months and a week ago. I tried calling about not liking the couch its a horrible couch it's not comfortable at all. I don't even sit in my living room to watch tv cause the couch is awful. The couch cushions are short so if a tall person sat on my couch they wouldn't fit - the day I purchased this I spent A LOT of money. When I called they basically told me tough luck its been over two months - ... TWO MONTHS and a week ! I wasn't looking to get my money back that wasn't my end goal - I wanted to exchange my current sofa for a different one. I could see if the couch was 6 months old and i was calling its 2 months old - TWO ! I'm just not sure how they justify the customer service they give people - the guy basically in nice terms told me that's the way the cookie crumbles. I mark my words will NEVER EVER buy something from bob's again. I've bought tons of furniture from them for them to turn and be like NOPE nothing we can do. A little side note that kinds of ties everything together - I purchased a couch from bob's back in 2020 after 8 1/2 months of owning it - it broke, i called and didn't have the warranty or goof proof on it - with NO problem they came out looked at it and said " ehhhhh were just going to replace it" .... so, there's that! bobs lost a loyal customer !Business response

• Delivery team is more important than the customer, since they can dictate what they are going to do during a workday. • The delivery dispatcher was “burning the clock” since he didn’t request the go-back for 30 minutes later, obviously knowing that the drivers would be miles away from my house by then. • The delivery dispatcher should have asked me if I had room for the new couch set (which I did have room and would have accepted the delivery) before informing the delivery drivers to leave the customer’s house. • The supervisor should have told the delivery drivers to come back to my house anyways since the mistake was on Bob’s Discount side. • Since I had to wait till after 1 pm for a resolvement on today’s issues, given that my living room is prepped for new furniture and I lost money from missed work. • I also informed the store when I bought the new couch and loveseat, that I needed an afternoon delivery so I wouldn’t have to miss work and I was told to inform delivery dispatch when they call me, the day before delivery. Delivery dispatch never called me the day before delivery informing me of the delivery time. Instead, I received an email from Bobs Discount with the delivery time, the night prior. When I saw the email, I called Bobs Discount delivery dispatch and asked if they could do the delivery in the afternoon. They said “no” and if I wasn’t available on the scheduled delivery day, then they could reschedule for a different day, but not the time frame. So, with that information, I accepted the time frame and took time off from work. Bob’s Discount store employees are pretty nice with good (if not, great) customer service, but the delivery service is horrible with no regards for customer service or satisfaction. The “white glove” delivery title is obviously a scam and a rip-off.Business response

The purchase on this couch was made in January of 2023, we've had replacement on this couch with in a year of owning. Due to manufacturing defect, the couch was caving in and causes us have back issues. The couch was replaced with in the same year. Several months later the couch was falling apart again. Bobs discount was made aware of the situation. And said they're no longer responsible for the warranty even though they sold us the warranty with the couch. Which was the goof proof protection. Which they offer when they sold us the couch. The couch is causing me to have back issues again for which I'm going to have to see a Chiropractor about. Bobs discount furniture and the employee for which sold me and wife the couch. Also lied about the durability of the couch and sold us on false dreams of owning one of the best couches they had on the floor.Business response

Hello, I have bought a lot of furniture from Bob's Discount furniture in ****** ** over the past years and happy until now. I recently made a purchase for over $7000.00. Part of that purchase is two loveseats attached to a corner unit. Within a brief time, the cushions have gone flat. I am extremely disappointed that I cannot even get off the loveseat without help because the squashed cushions are too low to the ground now. I have read these same complaints with the Better Business Bureau I have been communicating with the store in ****** ** and they suggested for me contact my **** ***** Protection Plan Company which cost me an addition $599.00! With **** ***** Protection Plan Service, I put in a request #*******. They told me that there is nothing that can be done to fix my problem and not covered in my warranty plan! I understand that they have the right to deny claims for coverage under their own guidelines. But they did not even offer to come out and see the problem but customer care did offer to send me new insert foam for the cushions. I have not seen them at all. I now do want a store credit of $1058.00. Their letter said: We are providing you with the terms and conditions for your 5-Year ************* ******** *********** ********* **** you bought from BOB'S DISCOUNT FURNITURE: ****** ** for $599.99. Your plan was activated on 07/22/2022, will expire on 7/22/2027, and will provide up to $3,818.61 in coverage for your new furniture. After hearing this, I requested a store credit of what the loveseats and corner unit cost me, $1058.00. I would come to the store in ****** ** and then pick out something else. This way Bob’s would make some money on the markup. I told the **** ***** Protection Plan (******** Customer Service October 11) if I did not hear from them before the end of October, I would contact the Better Business Bureau and make a complaint! Can you help me get a Store Credit of $1058.00 to get something else and remittee this problem?Business response

Good Morning BBB,
We are very sorry for the concerns the customer has presented, the warranty the customer holds with us at Bob’s is for one year against manufacturing defects.
The **** ***** protection is a plan through a third party company, Guardian. ******** covers the merchandise damage resulting from a single accident. Accidental damage must be reported within thirty days of occurrence and they must be able to provide the necessary details to clearly indicate that this damage occurred through a single accident or incident and not through everyday use, misuse or abuse of the merchandise.
******** has the right to deny claims for coverage under their own guidelines. In an effort to provide the customer a resolution we did process a part order for the seat cores, these parts are on back order from the vendor until February of 2025. Once we receive these parts we will ***** them directly to the customers home.
Kindest Regards,
Brittney W.

Subject: Formal Complaint Regarding Couch Order and Delivery Issues To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding my recent experience with your company concerning a couch I ordered on October 26th. The couch was scheduled for delivery on November 2nd within a window of 4-5 PM. Unfortunately, no delivery was made during this time, and I received a delivery notification that had a line drawn through the signature spot, indicating that something was amiss. Upon contacting customer service, I was initially informed that there was a glitch in the system, which later changed to an excuse about an unavailable elevator. Both explanations are untrue. After this frustrating experience, I was told that the next possible delivery date is now November 11th. I have also reached out to several executives, including CEO Bill B*****, Roger D***** (Head of Retail), Carol G****r (Chief Merchandising Officer), and Maurice M******* (General Manager), yet my concerns have been met with indifference. It is clear that neither the store, customer service, nor the executives genuinely care about resolving this issue. At this point, I feel compelled to consult with my attorney, as I have paid a substantial amount for a couch that I still have not received. This entire experience has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I find it shocking that your company is still in business given the level of service and accountability displayed. I hope this complaint will be taken seriously, as I believe it reflects a larger issue with your company’s operations and customer service. Sincerely, ***** **** ###-###-####Business response
