Buyer Beware- Avoid
Buyer Beware: A Horrendous Experience with Sofa Point UK
It’s along one but if you want an honest review then please read til the end
I bought sofas from B&Q market place from a company called Sofa Point Uk.
My experience with Sofa Point UK has been nothing short of a complete disaster, leaving me with damaged property, and a profound sense of frustration due to their appalling customer service. I would strongly advise anyone considering purchasing furniture from this company to look elsewhere.
From the outset, things went wrong. I ordered a three-seater and a two-seater sofa, anticipating a comfortable addition to my home. However, upon delivery, the two-seater sofa was visibly damaged. The delivery driver called Shaz acknowledged the damage and the poor quality and, after contacting Sofa Point UK, was instructed to take the damaged two-seater back.
This is where the problems truly escalated. After the driver received confirmation to return the faulty sofa, he presented his device for me to sign for the receipt of the three-seater sofa. Moments after I signed, as he was maneuvering the two-seater out of my property, the metal sofa feet scraped across my brand new flooring, causing noticeable scratches. The driver admitted fault immediately and apologised, stating he would take pictures and report the damage to Sofa Point UK, assuring me someone would be in touch. Nevertheless I contacted B&Q myself straight away to inform them as there was no direct number for Sofa Point and was told I should contact Sofa Point through the marketplace email, I was responded too very abruptly by Sofa Point saying it’s not their problem and I should take it up with the delivery company. Bare in mind I did not hire the delivery company, they did!
I contacted the delivery company and was told by their manager Anna that because I am Sofa Points customer that they need to deal with the complaint and to instruct the delivery company Furniture Logistics on what to do next.
I then took the initiative to contact Sofa Point UK again to inquire about their procedures for handling such damages and to request they cover the cost of repairing my flooring. What followed was an exercise in futility and infuriatingly bad customer service. I was met with rude and unhelpful staff who were dismissive of my concerns. Their response was essentially that because I had signed for receiving the three-seater sofa (before the damage occurred), they would not be held liable for the damage caused after the signature and in their words ‘ it’s not our problem so we will not be compensating you, not even a penny!’
Despite my attempts to explain the timeline of events and even mentioning that I had a voice recording of the delivery driver admitting fault, they refused to listen or even offer to investigate. Their complete lack of empathy and unwillingness to take responsibility for the damage caused by their delivery process is frankly unacceptable.
The entire experience with Sofa Point UK has been a nightmare. From the damaged two seater then having to return the three seater a few days later aswell because of the low-quality as it was advertised as foam seats but it felt like sitting on a park bench it was so hard, to the careless delivery and, most egregiously, the dismissive and rude customer service, I cannot recommend this company to anyone. Save yourself the headache, the financial loss, and the frustration, and choose a more reputable and customer-focused furniture retailer. My advice: steer clear of Sofa Point UK
B&Q was unhelpful aswell because every time I called them for an update I kept getting told they were escalating it to the relevant department but each time was not given an update. It has now been 3 mths with no resolution and no response at all.
