While I had planned on contacting Wayfair the next day after work, they attempted to deliver the dresser during the window of time that I told two people wouldn't work! Further, he called and left a message and said he was 10 minutes from the house!
I contacted Wayfair customer service and explained the situation. Initially I thought I was going to be disregarded but when I explained that unless the services per the website were met, they could take the item back and I would not pay any fees. I subsequently got a phone call from Guardian with approximately 3 days notice to deliver (Thursday evening to the following Monday afternoon). It was supposed to be a delivery window of 1pm to 5pm but they called to deliver early by 12:30pm. I was able to accommodate this so we agreed to delivery early. They didn't arrive within a half an hour and when they did arrive the box was badly damaged. The driver wanted signatures for the half an hour call ahead window and the condition of the box and furniture. I told him that he could wait for us to open the box if he wanted but I wasn't going to sign for the condition of the furniture until I could see it, especially with the damaged state of the box. He wouldn't wait so I noted the box damaged on his form and noted that I couldn't see into the box to verify the furniture's condition. Also of note was the delivery driver who stated " well you're home today" to which I replied that his company had been told that we couldn't be home for the appointment time and then he complained the the dog barked at him through the door when he showed up for said, unscheduled appointment.
We opened the box and the dresser was badly damaged....and by badly I mean 2 crossbars broken, bent drawer slides and 4 of the 5 plastic drawer guides were broken or cracked. Also, the backside of a drawer face was missing a chunk. It appeared the dresser had been dropped on it's side from a height.
I contacted Wayfair and again explained the situation. While I had a very pleasant customer service person at Wayfair my only options to receive a replacement (no option from removing the unusable dresser) were to pick it up 1.5 hours away or use Guardian Logistics again. I recounted my previous experience to this customer service person and she assured me she would follow up on the progress of the replacement deliver.
The replacement dresser shipped quickly and I was routinely using the tracking information to see when we might be contacted to schedule delivery. Per the tracking info provided by Wayfair as of the evening of 7/13/2015 it was still en route to the local delivery service (in this case Guardian Logistics). On 7/14/2015 I was home due to being sick and was leaving the house at 2:05pm for a medical appointment. At this time I saw a truck parked near our drive. The 2 young men asked if this was our address and they were here to deliver a chest of drawers. I told them that no one ever called to schedule delivery and told them that I of course didn't receive a call with a half an hour delivery window. They stated that they were told to deliver and if no one was home to leave it outside! (Note wood furniture outside on a day of forecasted rain and thunderstorms.)
I left to get to the appointment on time and the furniture was left outside the garage.We then had to get it inside, in spite of the service that was supposed to be inside the entryway. I contacted customer service at Guardian and have not received a response. I will contact Wayfair to remove them as a service provider or I will never buy from them again. I also will never buy from any company that utilizes Guardian Logistics. I also plan on passing this on to friends, family, co-workers and all the social media sites we have at our disposal.
I spoke with the receptionist (?) who answered the phone about the situation. She pulled up the information and informed me in a rather curt, I-don't-have-time-for-you-nor-interest-in-this-situation-being-remedied manor that the sofa had been out for delivery, the driver had called and left 2 messages and failing getting a response had left the area. !!! After checking the number that they had called, I discovered that they were dialing a number that was one digit off. No apologies, no offer of remedy, no ANYthing . Period. Only a defensive attitude and avowals that they had received the wrong information from Wayfair, and being informed that my sofa couldn't possibly be delivered before the middle of the next week (which means a delay for my client ... which means money). (My contact at Wayfair read the number that was sent to GLS. It was my exact number.)
Here we are a week later and still no word from Guardian Logistics Solutions. So I called. I spoke with the same woman who presented with the same irritating, unhelpful, unapologetic attitude. I was told I would likely receive my sofa by Friday. But, if I hadn't received a call the delivery hasn't been scheduled yet. As politely as I possibly could, I explained that I hadn't received a call last week either, even though GLS had previously insisted that they had called. No response. No, "I'm so sorry about that." Not even the decency to seem abashed or embarrassed.
Given the information I had received last week I had assured my client that photos could proceed on Thursday and listing on Friday. Now I must go to my client and explain that I made a serious mistake in choosing vendors As a result, I will be lucky to have this client (a real estate investor) again, or any referrals from this job. Time is money and Guardian Logistics Solutions has cost me and my client both.
too bad I can't give them zero stars.
we recently purchased furniture and the furniture company contracted Guardian to deliver it. they delivered the furniture and put two gouges in an interior wood door frame. they tried to leave with out even saying anything about it and we called the delivery guy on it. shame on us for not noting it on the delivery invoice, we only noted the damage to the furniture, because the driver specifically said do not add it to the invoice, that is only for damage to the furniture. he said instead to call their office and speak to a specific person there. we immediately called and they requested pictures which we immediately sent. no further response... we must have called them 10 times, no reply back. now they are refusing to fix the damage because it is not noted on the invoice. gotta love it...
