Reviews and Complaints

Ordered wall tiles for a customer's bathroom June 18th, 2015. Paid for fastest shipping option, and the lady over the phone said to me it would be delivered to me 100% by the 24th. I called the 22nd and 23rd just to make sure it was still on schedule, they said it was. Then I get an e-mail the 24th at night, not a phone call, stating that they had to change the shipping and it wouldn't be to me until the beginning of July! This is completely unacceptable as I had the tile guy lined up to install it all and it was not ready. Will never use this company and I advise everyone to stay away because their customer service lies through their teeth!

I ordered set of one table and six chairs from the website www.wayfair.com. I paid about $700 for the order and delivery. The seller provided the confirmation email and set the delivery date. But the delivery man provided only table without chairs. I contacted the seller and he told me that the order consisted of table only. He told me that I wasn’t attentive, when I placed the order, and he refused to return money. But the website provided fake info. Be careful if you order from them and read everything before place the order.

CSN describes a "no problem" return policy. They actually charge almost half the price of each item you are returning as a shipping and handling charge even if all the items were shipped together in one box.

I have purchased from numerous online retailers and they all accept returns with a minor restocking fee. CSN has numerous complaints published regarding this exact situation. The fees are charged whether you accept store credit or ask for a refund so either way, you pay for the item so they can resell it at full price. They make me ashamed to be from Massachusetts.

More than a week before they said they would ship, I tried to cancel my order. Next day, by e-mail CSN congratulated me and said they upgraded my order and would ship that day. I then called them and they said it was too late they had already shipped. From there it has gone downhill. Now I expect delivery this week. Package is 195 pound. They won't get if off the truck and wan't to charge another $144.98 to have a truck with a lift gate deliver it. They want more to take it back.

I will never but from these people ever again !

I ordered and was immediately charged for the four crystal beverage glasses I ordered. I later received an email with tracking info. When UPS delivered, they advised that I not accept the shipment. (The agent shook the box in front of me...and it sounded like a box of shattered glass. The glasses were all broken, and no packing material at all was evident.) I called CSN immediately (on a Thursday) and was told I would receive the replacement shipment the following Wednesday. I called the following Wednesday and found that no shipment had gone out. They told me it would go out in ANOTHER two days. The first UPS tracking notice showed that they had received the first damaged shipment back a day after I had reported it. As of today, I have been told that it will take another week to receive the glasses and that they will be crediting my Paypal account immediately. So far no credit, and no glasses. I will update if something changes.

I ordered a king size bed frame from CSN STORES. Box arrived on time and in good condition. Due to change in decorating plan, the frame was no longer needed. Contacted CSN STORES regarding return of bed frame. They offered refund of only 46% of the purchase price (payable up to two months later) and that I would be responsible for the return shipping. This would leave only pennies remaining from my original purchase price. CSN STORES would then have a new king size bed frame to resell and I would have almost nothing of the original cost returned. BUYER BEWARE, if you need to return an item to CSN STORES, YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF.

We purchased 2 c, at trees under the impression that the shipping and return shipping was paid for.
when we needed to return one, their 'hassel free" shipping was not ! this thing weighed over 10lbs, they said we were responsible for the shipping return and would not refund our origional shipping fee and if we wanted a shipping label emailed to us fr them it would cost 14$!
The way their policy reads leads you to think they will pay for returns. THEY DO NOT AND YOU ARE EXPECTED TO PICK UP ANY FEES.I would not buy anything fr theses people again, they are totally inflexible and not clear as to their return policies...and now I see why.

Buyer Beware!

WATCH OUT...THIS COMPANY USES DECEPTIVE METHODS FOR THEIR SHIPPING. Three day shipping is NOT three day shipping (or 2 day or 1 day). When you order from Amazon or any other reputable company, lets say on a Sunday, three day shipping means they ship Monday, and have it to you Thursday...three days. AFTER I placed my order for 3 day shipping, I checked my email to view the purchase invoice and it said expected delivery was exactly 10 days from my order date! I called cust service the next bus. day and they non-chalantly said "oh, it takes 2 or 3 days in the warehouse and once it's ready for shipment, THEN it takes 3 days". What a joke. This is NOT standard industry shipping methods. I said 'just tell us it will take 7 business days...I can live with that. Just don't lie and trick me into thinking I'll get it in three days". He didn't give a crap. It really ticked me off because I ordered on a Sat. eve. expecting this product by the following Thursday...but they had the delivery date as the Tuesday after that! The guy in the customer service credited my acct the difference but that did not solve my problem. It caused a lot of grief because I needed it for the following weekend and I passed up other possible options. This company handles retail products & shipping for many stores including Walmart and Home Depot! I ordered from an obsure furniture store and CSN Stores handled the transaction. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN.

NEVER EVER AGAIN - Shipment to Canada was a nightmare.
Was a Christmas Gift!

Ordered Nov 16 with a ship date of Nov 23
Screw up at CSN therefore did not ship until Dec 3 (if I had not called they would not have known)
Dec 5 arrives in Indiana via Home Direct
Sits in Indiana until Dec 15 because Home Direct overloaded truck so pulled my package & did not bother to notify my of change
Expected arrival Dec 18
Dec 18 called to find out the shipment was in Toronto yesterday and won't be shipped from TO to Calgary until Dec 22 (Tues) and won't be delivered to our home until Dec 29

Merry Frickin' Christmas
CSN Stores CSR's told different stories depending on who you talked to
Home Direct told different stories depending on who you talked to

CSN won't let me cancel the order and I have to return it at my cost.

Wrote to Mr Drappi CSN Director Customer Service
Wrote to Michele So, Director Home Direct Customer Service.
Will be curious to see if anyone responds

FYI - also ordered a bed frame which CSN shipped to the wrong address and I had to pay my own shipping to get it here before Christmas. AND it was damanged

NEVER EVER AGAIN, especially if you reside in Canada

Should have checked the internet for reviews - knew it was too good to be true!

CSN / Home Direct - feel free to contact me!

1) After a mid-September order, this dining set was extended-backordered from September to November to Decemeber to January, and I was not notified of the January date until November, despite pre-emptive email inquiries. Because of this delay in notification, I had no opportunity to order from someone else in time for Christmas. (My new, empty dining room addition was built in less time than this set takes to build, apparently.)

3) After this keen display of accuracy regarding the furniture ship time, I cancelled. I was then given inaccurate info about the time required for an electronic refund (48 hrs vs. immediately vs. 5 business days).

4) After 5 business days had already transpired, I was told that for some reason too technical to describe, an electronic refund to my debit Mastercard would be impossible and a check would have to be issued.

5) I was then refused the possibility of Fed Ex'ing said check overnight.

6) I was then given an inaccurate date as to when the check would ship (Fri vs the following Mon).

7) When the refund finally arrived, my name was misspelled on the check. Thankfully my bank processed the deposit anyway.

It took over 2 weeks from the time of my cancellation request to get my money back. Question: Would I have received that check as "quickly" were it not for my half-dozen-plus phone calls? Would they have even noticed the electronic refund wasn't working?

Everyone on the phone at CSN is friendly and cordial and occasionally helpful. But the manufacturing delays, order processing nuances, and poor information relay is infuriating. I can only describe this experience as excruciating, and I am a very patient person who almost never loses his temper on the phone. Good things do NOT come to those who wait on CSN. If a company wants to sell expensive items, it had better be able to refund that kind of money quick when the products aren't available. No other business I've run into has this much trouble processing a simple debit card transaction. I'm already having better luck at Max Furniture (Dallas).

Do not buy from CSN STORES! They have lots of websites under the same umbrella... products come damaged and they charge you restocking fee and shipping if you don't want replacements. Therefore, i told them to send me another one and it took them another 2 weeks to ship it out. I waited and the 2nd one came damaged again as well... again told them just give me my money back and they said they will send me another one... i told them i will file a charge back with my credit card company and they refunded me. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH CSN STORES!

Summary:

Shortly before ordering our bunkbeds from CSN on 10 Feb. 2008 my wife and I found out we were pregnant with our second child. After hearing some horror stories from friends regarding there experiences with transitioning their children out of a crib and into there "big kid" or in our case "big boy bed" we decided to get ahead of the game and order the bed early. Well, thank the lord we did. The first attempt at delivering our much awaited bunk beds or as my two year old call them "bump a heads" was on 15 March 2008, 3 days after the estimated delivery window of 22 Feb.- 12 March which was provided on the day of purchase. Everything appeared to be going smoothly until we realized they had shipped us the twin over twin model rahter than the twin over full. After dealing with a language barrier in trying to figure out whether it was the correct bed with missing peices or actually the wrong bed it was determined the bed was indeed the wrong one and all of the peices had to be taken back out to the truck and returned. Fast forward a month and a half to 1 May 2008 (Now almost three months or a quarter of a year since we ordered the bed) and we had our second attempt at delivery. Again everything appeared to be going fine until the one person on the crew who spoke english (glad he was there) informed me that the bed they had delivered was missing parts and they would not be able to put the bed together without the parts. After speaking to both CSN and the delivery company I was convinced that it would be quicker to keep the parts that had been delivered at the house and have CSN ship me the remianing hardware "within a week" so I singed for the stuff that had been delivered and sent the delivery crew on their way. After a week of no parts ariving in the mail I decided to call CSN back yet again to check on the status of the parts at which time I am informed the parts will take another four weeks, pushing the delivery date for the missing parts into early June (remember we ordered the bed on10 February 2008). I bet you could guess what happened next...yep, you guessed it, the four weeks went past with no part delivered and when we called to follow up on the lack of delivery we were told a manager (Marcel) would give us a call on Tuesday (9 June 08). That call never came, instead we received a voice mail message from a female stating the parts are still not available and they are not expecting to get any until JULY (5 months after the order was placed). Now my wife is due to deliver our second child 3 Oct. 08 which means in a best case scenario at this point we will get the parts some time in July, then have to schedule to have someone come and set them up which will likely be a week or two additional, leaving us an even smaller window of time for us to transition our son into his new bed. Oh I almost forgot the fact each time they failed to deliver the correct/complete bed I had to take of work for a day which means I now have approx. $800.00 (almost the total cost of the bad) tied up in this for lost wages. I'll write again in July or August to let all of you know how this all work out.
