The delivery side of things weren't east to deal with. They are huge so there's a lot of delivery issues.
The second problem was that after we were called and told the table had arrived, they could not deliver it (for which we paid an extra $65.00) for 10 days because they were "backed up." This didn't make us happy, but it was not a big deal. Broken Promise #3 came the day before the scheduled day of delivery. We were called and told they would arrive between 4:30 and 6:30 pm. They were a no show. I finally called their Customer Service number (Customer Service is not local- it's in Nebraska!) at 7:00pm and after waiting on the phone for about 10 minutes while they checked with the North Texas store from Omaha, I was told the driver was finishing up one delivery and had one more to go before he got to us. They said he would call when he was on the way. (He did not.) The truck finally showed up at 9:00pm to deliver the table. The delivery men indicated they had had 17 stops to make during the day and we were #17. (Figuring at least 30 minutes or more for each delivery - which is what it took them at our house - that means the dispatcher should have planned at least 8.5 hours or more for deliveries plus travel time and breaks, etc. for that truck, but failed to do so!) I felt sorry for the delivery men - this was in 100 degree heat!
While talking with their Customer Service and relaying my displeasure over what is probably the WORST delivery experience I have ever had (including stores that deliver for free), I was told they were aware they have a problem here in Texas and were trying to correct it and have fired about 50% of their delivery personnel for poor performance since they opened. In my opinion the problem is NOT the delivery personnel, it is a lack of leadership, knowledge and planning at the MANAGERIAL level, and failure to accurately communicate to customers just how poor things are running. The Customer Service rep I talked to said she was sorry I was unhappy but they anticipate that they will lose some customers but hoped I would change my mind in the future. In short, I got the feeling my business was not that important to them, and they really don't care much about their poor delivery performance, and certainly not to the point of offering to cancel the delivery charge for my inconvenience. In short, this will be my last visit to Nebraska Furniture Mart, no matter how good their selection is.
I would also add that before the bungled delivery, I made a second (weekday) store visit to look for another item and I was virtually ignored by the sales staff in multiple departments, because they were all huddled over their electronic tablets, doing whatever, to be bothered with greeting and helping shoppers. In other departments, groups of 4-5 sales staff were huddled with what appeared to be managers on the floor, totally ignoring shoppers. Big (negative) difference in customer care from my first visit and reinforcing my perception that Nebraska Furniture Mart is not a user-friendly place to shop. Bottom line: Great selection, good prices, quality merchandise, poor manufacturer communications, abysmal delivery service.
