Warranty service
Completely unable to get a warranty claim started either online or through the phone. We've been without a fridge for over a week and just haven't been able to make any progress at all.
Our Online submission for warranty service did not get responded to. Not even an auto generated email that informs us they received the request. Unable to get ahold of anyone on the phone either. Just endless waiting on hold.
Desired outcome: Just want the service we paid for and acknowledgement that they are doing something within the timeline that they promise directly on their website.

Mattress warranty
I have bought the mattress $800 + $100 mattress cover for stains (which bricks offer store warranty for extra 6 months) + $100 Box and $50 (total cost me with taxes $1171.37.
The mattress has worst quality the mattress is sagging and the body indentation is more then 2- 3 inches. I have contact brick within a year bricks have directed me a complicated claim process.
I have finally after 6 month to completed the process. i have spend one hours all the pictures' receipts submitted Within 1.5 year of purchase date.
After doing this hardship. Trans Global Service a transportation company replied on the behalf of Brick and have refused my claim by saying your mattress got some water stains. We do not cover the warranty if mattress has stain which their stain protects unable the mattress from stain .
I have explained everything to claim offer which all online. they don't even bother to come and inspect the mattress.
Just said cover and mattress is 2 different manufactures.
mattress manufacture would not cover warranty if the mattress has stain on it.

The delivery process was extremely stressful, and I will never buy items for delivery from the Brick again. I don't typically do online reviews, but my attempts by phone and email to Customer Service regarding my experience have been ignored.
I ordered online from my home in Nova Scotia on Boxing Day to take advantage of a free delivery promotion. Our son was moving to downtown Toronto to start a new job without the use of a vehicle. We ordered him a mattress, boxspring, bedframe, mattress protector, and pillows so that he would at least have a bed. I spoke to a chat agent as the delivery date was important - he was arriving December 30 by plane, and we wanted it delivered December 31. This date was confirmed, and we were told that we that we would get a call the day before, for the Brick's 3 hour delivery window policy. I completed full payment.
I called the morning of December 31 as no call came in the day before. I learned I was dealing with Calgary and that the earliest possible delivery date now would be January 4. The delivery had not actyally been ordered for December 31. We were not pleased, but we agreed to wait, thinking it would be less hassle than starting over. Delivery was not completed on January 4 because the apartment building will only guarantee a 2 hour elevator reserve window. Brick delivery said they would not come back later that day, and they recommended I call the next morning. When I called the morning of January 5, I learned that our items had been RESOLD and that the next possible delivery date now would be January 10. Delivery was delayed January 10, but we were able to work with the building superintendent to have the bed brought in. The delivery workers dropped the items in the apartment. They did not set up and take away packing materials because they were running behind. Our son was just happy to have a bed to sleep on after 12 nights without one.
I would do everything differently next time. I would cancel the order and choose a competitor - there are so many options out there- but I felt if I plead our case persistently, The Brick would want to keep me as a customer. My final email yesterday, asking for some kind of compensation, let alone an apology, was not answered, so this is my public review to warn customers about buying online from the Brick for delivery, I expected good service from a huge Canadian company that I have purchased from in the past, to deliver in a reasonable timeframe within largest city in the country that has multiple warehouses and stores. In the end, it was just a horrible experience.
Did not complete service on my stove
I had a extended warranty with The Brick for my gas range. In November, just before my warranty expired, I contacted King and State because the Convection part of my stove was not working. It was not an easy process but finally did get a technician out to repair my oven. The convection part worked when the technician left but within a week it quite working. I called back King and State and told them. (very, very difficult to contact them- over an hour wait time) They advised that now that my warranty is over it is not covered. I told them the original repair was never completed and that I still have the same problem. They told me that management advised it is not longer covered. This company does not return phone calls and very difficult to contact. terrible service!
My advice is to not buy the extended warranties that these stores offer. It is a money grab!
Desired outcome: fix my stove under warranty
Oakdale 3 piece sectional - grey linen
I purchased this sectional in 2019, it was kept in my basement and rarely sat on. 2 years later we move and it becomes our main couch, within a couple weeks the fabric is pulling, wrinkled, pilling and in general looks like a couch that has been in use for years (not weeks). I phone the brick to make a complaint, I am advised that due to the time frame and defect they cannot do anything to assist me with the issue. The sales person referred to the defect as a consumable which is not covered by any type of warranty. Reluctantly the brick sends out a technician to see if the fabric is repairable, the technician told me this is the worst fabric on a sectional he has ever seen and he cannot fix it. He also said I should call the brick and speak to a manager about the defective material. Long story short, nothing was resolved. I am stuck with a sectional that has been in use for a couple years and is ready for the dump. This sectional is not a quality product, I would not recommend it nor would I recommend buying anything from the brick.
Desired outcome: Credit for new sectional
Was there ever any resolve with this? Or are you still stuck with the couch? I am in the same situation. It’s been under 2 years eve fabric is all pilled and the wood under the seat has completely fallen off.
This couch has had nothing but complaints but they are continuing to sell it.
Whirlpool wall oven
WOS51EC0HS02 I feel you should be deeply embarrassed selling whirlpool appliances. My wall oven will not work right after warranty and judging by the complaints on the net I am not alone.
The control lock is on and yes I have disconnected power, pushed each button for 5 seconds and have over 1.5 hours on the phone with whirlpool only to talk to a customer service rep that read from my manual.
No oven over Christmas and at least a wait till jan 9 till I can talk to a repair tech
The sticker in the oven says Modules made in China assembled in Mexico
Desired outcome: i would like a Whirlpool tech to tell me the defective part to replace . ( and a oven that works!
Poor service, poor everything
I WILL NEVER GO TO MAVIS AGAIN! I went to Mavis to get tires and brakes. They told me that I only needed front tires. You would figure that the so-called professionals would put the same tires on my Silverado. They did not and when I happened to bring my truck into the Chevy dealer they told me that having more aggressive treads on the front than the back...

I visited the brick customer service desk to pick up the crib mattress that I had ordered online a week ago. There was a girl named Danyat who was just ignorant of the fact and behaved as if we were just invisible to her. She was seated In Her chair and her attitude towards us including my wife who is 9 month pregnant made us stand for about 15 mins. There...
Read full review of The BrickStove
We just purchased 3 major appliances from the brick Stratford Ont location. They were delivered on the 20 dec in time for Christmas. Firstly they did not unpackaged the products as we had concerns of unseen damages. Sure enough our stove was indeed damaged after contacting the Stratford brick and sending pictures of the damage they agreed to replace it however it would be a different model and make but had the same features. If we wanted the same make and model we would have to wait until sometime in the new year no date available. We accepted the replacement make and model as it had all the same features, They however could not deliver until the 27 dec. upon receiving the new stove there was no airfryer basket so we hung on to the one that had came with the damaged stove, no issues. We then received a call from the brick Stratford demanding the return of the basket saying our replacement stove model didn’t come with one. After a escalating heated argument she hung up on us over a airfryer basket? they can be purchased on Amazon for$ 37.00. Do we ignore the Brick Stratford or is the basket worth the negative publicity this could bring.
Desired outcome: Keep the basket and apology from the brick
Installation and damage to home wall
We bought a mattress and bed base from The Brick Richmond, BC. Delivery came at 1:10 PM PST on December 18 2022. We had a motion air base installed in our new home and installers were not careful with the process. They used tools that should not be used resulting to scratched the metal base using screwdrivers and pliers. Hammering accessories when it should not be and also deformed the lock. They also left a scratch and dent on our wall. This is our first day at our new home only for them to leave damages. We did not even get a single apologies from them.

Bosch dishwasher
For those of you looking for new appliances - please read the following experience. I wish I knew what I was in for when I dealt with the Brick in Burlington. Particularly the commercial division. We dealt with Philip.
We ordered all of our appliances and paid a deposit September 2021. Philip contacted us late April 2022 and advised us that with supply chain shortages if we paid IN FULL for all of our appliances right then, it would guarantee that our appliances were waiting for us in the warehouse for our move. In late October the Brick customer service called to confirm the delivery date. I confirmed the date and said it shouldn’t matter as our appliances should be waiting for us in the warehouse. The woman advised me that they fulfil the order three weeks before delivery whether we paid in April or September. That there was no benefit for us having paid in April.
We were manipulated to pay in full by Philip based on false pretences, obviously to fulfil his quota or get a bonus. There was no reason to have paid then. When our appliances were delivered, the dishwasher was missing. We were advised that we wouldn’t receive the dishwasher until May 2023. that is 13 months after we were told to pay in full to guarantee our appliances would be ready for us.
The brick customer service said Philip would call us to discuss this and offer another brand. We have heard nothing. Nobody will answer our emails or our phone calls. We have tried to contact them several times. We can’t get a hold of anyone and nobody will return our calls or emails. Clearly once they get your money (on false pretences, which is essentially theft and fraud), you mean nothing to them. Not sure when we will get a dishwasher, or what the plan is or what our options are. Nobody will talk to us.
Beware of being manipulated and lied to if buying from the Brick in Burlington. You don’t need to pay 7 months in advance like we were deceived into doing.
I feel scammed, deceived and manipulated.
Desired outcome: I want my dishwasher and an apology

Fridge
I have bought appliances bundle from bricks. Sanjay was salesperson who told me all things r available and fridge I will get by 15/16 December. Based on his assurance I bought all appliances and paid (mid of November).
9 December I call bricks to ask for updates and I am told I will get it after Christmas (30/31 December). I told them no one called me to inform about delays and they said now we have told u.
Told them this is unprofessional and they said I can take my money back if I have issues and get from somewhere else. I told them take all appliances back than whjch they refused saying we need within 7 days and in boxes. Told bricks u deliberately delayed informing me till 7 days so I dont have option to return and secondly bricks gave me appliances without boxes as took it with them so how do u want me to return in boxes!
Desired outcome: Looking to get same brand fridge as soon as possible or let me buy same brand from other company ( others have same brand and model available) and any differences bricks to pay as they dont want to take all appliances back
Washer & dryer
I purchased a washer & dryer from the brick in July 2019 and have non stop issues with both appliances. I was able to get a new dryer but that is now having problems again. My warranty expired however I purchased the 4 year extended warranty and it is the worst service I've ever experienced. I placed my last service call on Sept 13 2022, received a call on Sept 26th from the repair company, the technician came onsite on Sept 27, 2022, he deemed I needed new parts for both appliances, today is Dec 9, 2022, almost 3 months later and I am still waiting for the tech to come back to replace those parts. I have called a few times in between to find out why it is taking so long, on Nov 18th Transglobal said they were still waiting for parts, I tried to call today and couldn't get through, i'm very frustrated and don't understand why it is taking so long. This extended warranty is horrible. Next I will go to Global News Anne Drewa if something doesn't get done. Thank you. Vida Goltes ([protected]@shaw. ca) cell : [protected].
Desired outcome: Have my appliances repaired in a proper time span and/or give me a new set. The set I purchased is the worst ever.
Hi Deyna, thank you for responding to me. I've since had Transglobal come to my home to work on my appliances, it's unfortunate as it's still a work in progress, they are trying to figure out the issue. The electrolux is by far the worst appliances I've ever owned, it's been continuous repair and repair. When it's something like this, the customer should get another new set. Any ways...thanks again for reaching out to me. Regards, Vida
Maintenance
This is NOT a complaint of the store products. It’s the property of The Brick in KAMLOOPS BC…now the boulevard that is behind this store is littered with TONS of garbage, as is the driveway up to the roof top parking, I front of the two chain link gates. I called the store last week to see if someone would kindly look into this, and so far the garbage is still there. It’s now been sitting there for a “month” I’m asking kindly if this could all be cleaned up asap. I have tried to upload one area of the mess. The rest is just below this to the left on the boulevard
Desired outcome: Clean Up…i can always email the CEO if that is preferred thanks again:)
washer dryer installed
I had to incur $203.40 to get the washer dryer installed after Brick failed to install it despite including it as a service in the amount charged to me upon sale. Refrence sales order 100524PKJIU paid on Oct 5, 2022 which provided for a walk in price. I also signed a waiver letter for Brick to deliver at my home without my presence but I was not informed that the appliance would not be installed despite the waiver letter. I believe the delivery crew missed the installation and now they are using excuses. It is a disappointment that I had to do more than 10-15 follow ups through phone and email to have the dishwasher installed on the same order as this was anotherappliance not installed. I have email chain to prove this (with matt Scarfone at St Catharines store).
I am hoping that someone would address this issue to deliver promises The Brick makes.
Thanks

This issue said it is resolved but it is still ongoing. I have responded to my first complaint of this issue with the Brick in Orangeville, Ontario. November 23, 2022.
...
With lots of haggling I finally got the Brick to agree to an exchange so I went to the store with my daughter and we only had 1 choice to chose from. We bought a floor model which cost me $563.00 extra on top of the $1,100.00 I paid for the first one. We checked it out for damage and there were a few little things on the material but nothing that I couldn't live with. He told my daughter and I that the only reason the chair was sent back was because the customer received the wrong color. I just wanted to be done with the Brick. The day before they were going to deliver it I got a message from the salesman that as they were getting ready to pack it up he noticed that there was a big peace at the back of the chair where the material was torn away and that the electrical cord was wrapped in electrical tape. This chair was definetly abused and not just returned for the reason he said. I told him not to send the chair. I then went online and found a chair in my buget which only cost me $67.00 more. They came and picked up the first chair and brought the new one. I must be the unluckiest person in the world becase the delivery guy could not get the back of the chair to clip into the bottom. There is a space between the arm and the back of the chair where I can put my hand through and when I go to adjust the chair the back comes up into my hands. The driver tried everything but it just wouldn't clip in. He said they never had this problem before. I have contacted the salesman and asked for a refund because I did more than my fair share of trying to get a new chair from the Brick. I don't want strangers in my home anymore, I just want my peace and quiet back. I am done with this. Now to see if we will have to go back to sqaure one. Below are images of the second chair they wanted to send me. I am so done with this, nobody should have to go through this when purchasing a chair from the Brick.
If the Brick does not give me a refund because I don't want an exchange I will take them to small claims court. I am done with them.
Washing machine and dryer
We bought a washing machine and dryer on September 23 they gave us a delivery date on October 13 they emailed us on October 13 said very sorry but it’s ‘not our fault’ it’s the manufacturers fault’ you will be receiving your items at the end of October. I did here from them until today November 21 saying that it will be delivered approximately on December 12. No one called us to follow up offer other solutions all they said was if your not happy you can return the product. I went to customer service they offered no alternative and again basically said again if you don’t like give it back. My only issue is that the sales person never warned us about this in addition to that since are financing we already started paying! Really bad customer service it is unacceptable i will never by anything at the brick again!
This was at the Kirkland Québec store on trans Canada highway

Sofa and love seat
I purchased sofa and love seat from brick and its not even a year yet. My love seat side bended and my sofa stitching is coming off. Adapter for the recycler stop working. I filled the form for claim technician came in after that id din not hear anything for weeks, after that I called the store almost 7 times to get the information. Whenever I called them our manager is on lunch, she will call you back or we still don't have an update for you and manager didn't even bother to call back.
First they said we don't have the parts for your sofa we are waiting then, After that your adapter is not covered under warranty also this model is discontinued. Where your warranty clearly states that reclining parts and mechanism covered.
On my last call manager offer 39% credit on my love seat and that's all they can do. No solution for my sofa.
I purchased extended warranty I paid $ 5000 for my sofa which kind of broke within a year. This is your solution what you offering me my money for extended warranty. what is the point of buying the extended warranty? No repairs or any accountability, really disappointed with the customer service. This is no way of handling customers, honestly I will never recommend anyone going to brick.
Desired outcome: I would like to get store credit for my sofa and love seat, its still under manufacturer warranty.
Arlo night stands ( beware damaged units being sold on sale) @ the brick college park
I received a damaged arlo night stand. After complaining a replacemnt was sent in today.
Guess what it was also damaged and in worse condition than the first.
Customers beware !
the items on sale are being palmed off to unwary customers.
I cant believe i have got a replacement again in a damaged condition.
So much for the brick and its services in making it up to customers. Its a scam !
best these fraudulent practises are brought to consumer protection.

Desired outcome: NEED AN EXPLANTION AND REFUND - NO MORE OF THOSE NIGHT STANDS...
