Poor After Sales Experience
<p>I would like to lodge a formal complaint against poor after sales service from @home store in Brooklyn. I purchased the sofa in January this year and the sofa is still under 1 year warranty.Im experiencing quality issue with the product and to my surprise branch ( @ home Brooklyn) is not willing to assist with my query. The couch creates back and neck aches for me. I have tried anything possible to try and make the sofa comfy. I went as far as purchasing extra cushions to try and support my back and yet still no change. What so difficult about replacing the sofa? They were quick to accept my money but not after sales service at all. Can someone please help me to resolve this matter at hand?</p> <p>Please see below responses from the company:</p> <p>Notes</p> <p>Personal</p> <p>Travel</p> <p>More</p> <p> </p> <p><br />Hangouts</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>2 of 4,986</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>Cargo 4 Seater Complaint!</p> <p>Inbox<br />x</p> <p>Kgomotso ********** />May 29 (12 days ago)</p> <p><br /> </p> <p><br />to phindiledh</p> <p><br />Greetings Phindi,<br /> <br /> We would like to lodge a formal complaint with regards to the cargo sofa that was purchased in Jan.The biggest challenge we have with the sofa its causing back aches for us.

Through my experience it clearly doesn't show that customer services is taken seriously. Otherwise I would not find myself in this situation.

Greetings,
I have been contacted by numerous @home officials and none of them has managed to resolve my issue. I have copies of all email correspondences from them. One would be left with an awe after reading those email responses. If you keen, i would like to share some feedback from those emails reffered to here. Basically what i'm saying is that @home is telling me thank you for wasting your money in our company and you will not receive any after sales support. I wonder what warranty means in your world if the product is posing health hazards to a customer. Because my biggest challenge is that i'm experiencing terrible back and neck aches by virtue of using the sofa.
I have been trying for weeks now to get this matter resolved and yet still no sollution all i'm being told is that the company will not replace/repair the item being reffered to here. No effort was to meet my expectations.

KM

My request is rather simple, all i'm asking is that the current sofa be replaced i no longer want it. Its creating health problems for me. I'm willing to go as far paying a cash difference just to replace the sofa with another product i show interest in,if need be. Honestly Cargo 4 seater is the most uncomfortable sofa i have owned. It lacks back and neck support and the sofa's frame is not of good quality. The foam used for back support is not firm at all. Yet when i raise my concerns regarding this, i'm being dismissed like a naughty child.
Honestly i won't allow being treated like this after i've spent my hard earned cash. If @home prides itself in such customer service i've experienced , then it would mean i don't understand customer service at all.
