This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

The following email explains my complaint. I have sent this to various executives at the Brick and I am not getting a response.

I sent this note originally on May 2nd after we received the wrong colour chairs as I describe below. I deal with Natasha at the Brick superstore in Mississauga and she arranged for the correct colour chairs to be ordered and agreed to credit us 150.00, which by the way has not been done up to now. I do have to say that Natasha was very good at customer service and she did help us initially to feel like you were going to take care of this situation for us.

We kept the green chairs up until last week. Last week my husband got a call from the warehouse stating our correct cream colour chairs were in and that someone would be by to pick up the green chairs and deliver the cream chairs. It turns out that last week, the guys came by picked up the 2 green chairs but did not have our correct cream chairs. I called Natasha and she told me that the sales person made another mistake. He ordered quantity of 1 chair instead of the 2. So now we have to wait another 6-8 weeks to get our set of 2 chairs that we have ordered in Feb and fully paid for back in April. I can’t imagine that you believe that 7 months is acceptable for a customer to wait for 2 chairs. I have to question why we should pay for these chairs at all now. We are reasonable people and understand that mistakes are made in business but at this point our patience is running out. We need you to credit us the total purchase price of these chairs to show some good faith and keep us as customers.

Please respond to us as soon as possible.

Attention: Regional Vice President, East
My husband and I purchased 2 ROWE chairs at the superstore in Mississauga, formerly known as the Homeshow. We purchased these chairs Feb 3rd of this year. The order number is 02036H30585001. The sales person did tell us it might take up to 6 weeks to get the chairs. We accepted this because we only needed the chairs in early May as this is when our family from Europe is visiting. We need these chairs to complete our dinning room.

We picked up the two chairs on Monday April 17th. It took 10 weeks to get the chairs. When we got home my husband unpacked them and as I came down the stairs I could not believe what I was seeing. The chairs are green, we ordered a light cream colour. I called the brick store and after three days of back and forth phone calls I got confirmation that the chairs were ordered with the wrong code. The customer service agent put in a new order and now we will have to wait probably another two months to get our chairs. That puts the total wait time for these two chairs at over four months. This is just ridiculous.

The customer service agent did say that they would try to rush the order to get it in about 6 weeks but we have heard that before. The major problem we have now is that our family from Europe is arriving in 2 weeks and we can’t use these green chairs because they don’t go with our décor and they look awful in our dinning room. We have to store them while we wait for our chairs to arrive. We have been loyal customers of the Homeshow and the Brick, we purchased our Natuzzi leather couches at the Homeshow as well as our coffee tables.

We feel that we should be compensated for this major mistake on your part, in the form of a discount on these chairs. We would like to continue to trust the Brick and continue to shop at your stores but if there is no effort to turn this very frustrating, very negative experience into a somewhat positive experience, I am afraid we won’t trust the Brick and will choose to do our shopping elsewhere in the future.

I hope to hear from you very soon with an offer for compensation.

Sincerely,

Sandra

Bought a new Mattress with box springs 3 years ago. The mattress is sagging and the brick doesn't carry that mattress any more. They are only willing to replace the mattress yet without a matched box spring the replacement will not have any warranty.

I just bought a dryer and the cord is too short to reach my plug in on my basement wall. When I called the brick to resolve this problem they told me I have to keep the dryer and I got hung up twice . Then when I called back it automatically started going to the answering machine. I need this problem resolved because I need a dryer.

Hi

I have ordered the Wynn 6-Piece King Bedroom Package on last year Boxing Day sale (26th Dec-2021). I’m still awaiting for the delivery. Many times contacted in customer service, however, no confirmation for expected delivery date for the bedroom set.

It’s already more than 8 months now.How much time I need to wait.

Recieved a brand new mattress. Sunken 1inch within 1 week . Technician said so . Originally delivered for free. Opted for the sleep tight guarantee and then they want to charge $90 for delivery on top of all the hassle of trying to get someone to originally come see the mattress.

Bryan Cabanting tried to low balled on the phone and misguide. I told him I wanted to change $100 to $150 (mudding and painting each) + $50 (paint) which makes a sum of $350.

He has been adamant and has not been answering my calls, and has not been trying to resolve this.

Serial number is SERIAL # 8427.

Puchased a washer and dryer thru The Brick a couple years ago and purchased the extended warranty for 5 years. Still have 2 year remaining. Dryer has stopped working. Have sent NUMUROUS emails to their warranty company King and State and have not gotten any reply back!

DO NOT WASTE your money on their warranty as its a bunch of BS and a rip off!

When the finish or veneer started to come off within weeks after my purchase and kept getting worse, still is flaking. I decided to phone and see what they could do. Apparently, nothing. Was told to send in pics then wait for a technician who came and told me I had no warranty, and the only thing would be done for me was a marker on the finish.

Purchased extended warranty for my washer the only option given is to refund the price of my warranty. What is the point of buying the extended warranty If they can't/ won't fix it. If it can't be fixed it should be replaced of another machine of equal value or refund the original purchase price.

I have been trying get my dishwasher repaired for past 3 months through brick/king and state/transglobal. They basically all are a part of brick warranty runaround team. Noone has specific answer. Brick customer service is the worst if u ever have to deal with them. Its just a money grab for warranty. Nothing else.

Have an extended warranty on a product I bought from Leons. Submitted my claim via email, it's been 4 days and I have heard nothing. I've called twice, waited and been disconnected. Who has time for this? I can't believe the "legal" scams that are allowed to take place in this world.

I need a part for my BRADA freezer. Even though it’s the bricks house brand they are unable to get me the part!

I don't know what else to add. I need a part to fix my perfectly fine standup freezer to work again and they refuse to get me that part. its weird.

I purchased in September because of sale. Was sitting in room in box and I just opened because we finished Reno’s. No damage on box or styrofoam so it was obviously done during packaging or before. The brick simcoe said sorry about your luck. If something isn’t done I will never use the brick again.

The boxspring is torn and not supporting the mattress.
I just made my bed for the first time.
I fell through the left side and not through the right.
I am a lot less than the weight maximum.
