Ricky49 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 We ordered our new Sofa from DFS at the end of January and got a phone call last week saying it will be delivered sometime this week. So on bank holiday monday I loaded our 3 piece suite into my van and drove it the 600 mile round trip to my sisters as they wanted it for there kids play room. Well this evening I got a phone call saying that our Sofa won't be here this week and will be more annoyingly delayed 6 weeks WTF. So now we are sat on our living room floor watching TV Rant over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Did they not offer so form of compensation based upon the information they gave you only last week.. How can it change for next week to 6 weeks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky49 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I just had a rant down the phone, going to ring them back tomo asking what they are going to do about it. But if im honest i cant see them giving a hoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 They have always been terrible for delivery, I just don't understand how they get away with saying it is going to take 4 months for a customer to recieve their Sofa's. It is not like they carve it out of a virgin Bonsai tree,it is a bit of wood (mental even) with a few springs, foam & some leather. Friend of mine waited 8 months! 8 months!!

But if im honest i cant see them giving a hoot. I would be asking them to send you a temporary sofa for 6 weeks. They can't say they don't have any as the showroom is full of them..!! Other than that I would nick a park bench. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 8 months!!!!! Dont say that Abz Seriously Ricky, though they did tell him origional it was going to take 6 months. He brought it in the boxing sales, got a great price on, think he said he saved like £1200 on a 3 piece leather sofa set. As a temp measure he brought a second hand set off Gumtree to see him through a few months!! Hopefully it isn't that bad though mate, just keep hassling them.

Other than that I would nick a park bench. H. I'd go down that route too, my parents ordered a new sofa, got a date, and gave my sister the old sofa. Then got told the new ones would be delayed months, so my mum went mental down the phone and demanded a replacement until hers got delivered. She got given a complete 3 piece (3, 2 and a single) in white leather and the best thing was, when her proper sofa was delivered she hid the 'loan' sofa in the hall and got them to deliver the new ones through the other door! They never asked for the old one back so my sister got another sofa FOC! (Bitch!) So, they will give you something while you wait. Just kick off and demand it or a refund as you and your family are sat on the floor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My sofa was delivered on time and so was my mothers so i guess its not all bad. Bean bags are the way to go, shame your not nearer as i have 2 nice ones for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Having the same problem with them mate. We bought one in the New year sales and it has been delayed. They now saying April the 26th I think which is a month later than the worst case estimate when we bought it. Would like to tell them to stick it but then we would have to start all over again as most places supply to order and also we already have a corner unit from them (which was delivered on time btw a few years back) and we want the new sofa to match. Feel bad as I promised Ed Superstar our old one and he's still wating nearly 5 months on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Going to order two now mate didnt even think of bean bags Was going to suggest bean bags too - had to wait about the same time with no furniture when I first bought my flat and they were a godsend!

erol_h Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I got some sofas from harveys just over a year ago the idiots arrived with no screwdrivers to put them together which was very professional they didnt hook up together and then had to get them back to adjust them. Also a few weeks later they called to say that my the outstanding part of my 3piece sofa had arrived and when can they deliver when i already had all parts the t1ts.

Ricky49 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Well after nearly 6 weeks it has finally arrived. My missus rang up again as it was meant to be delivered on tuesday and tried to get some compensation but the women on the phone gave my missus a good tongue lashing and said she has more chance of fitting the sofa up her ass than get any compensation. My missus the fiery Itallian she is is going down to DFS tomorrow with the sofa wedged in her ass to kick off Im just glad its finally here.
