DFS Furniture - Aintree Arvostelua 

Came in with my Fiancé and new born. Matt gave us plenty of space, let us ask the questions we needed to and gave us all info we needed to make the right decision for us. Cracking service

Very helpful Staff .. Leighton served me .. He explained the process of the transaction and also about the care and upkeep of the furniture .. He was polite, friendly and patient when I asked him to explain again the prices.

The young lady who looked after us in dfs was called Sarah and she wasn't pushes sarah was very professional in her job and it was a real pleasure to have Sarah serve us ty

The staff gave me space to choose my new sofa but let us know if we had any questions not hesitate to ask them

Very helpful and not rushed

Lovely guy called Leighton wasn’t pushy but full of knowledge thanks again

We went to the store at Aintree and was served by Jess who was fantastic! Didn’t rush us and even looked after my grandson whilst we made some key decisions! Asset to the company Jess!

The young man did not pester me just stayed on hand if I had any questions

The staff member was very friendly, professional, and helpful. They helped me build and customise my sofa, gave me useful advice, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I really appreciated their patience and attention to detail. Based on my experience, I highly recommend DFS to anyone looking to buy a sofa. Great service from start to finish!

Great service from Matt , we where given time to look over the sofas of our choice and ask questions, shown colour options , different foot typer, nothing was to much and all explained well, no pushy sales technique but very polite well informed in formation from Matt.

I had an excellent experience at DFS. Sara was incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the whole process. She answered all my questions with patience and made buying my sofa a really pleasant experience. Thank you for the outstanding customer service!

Here is my letter I wrote to DFS but have still not had a formal response.

Re: B4Y4ZL894 Formal Complaint – Continued Mishandling of Order and Inadequate Complaint Resolution

Dear Customer Relations,

I am writing to formally escalate my complaint regarding my DFS order, as the handling of this matter continues to fall well below the standard I would expect from a national retailer.

As you are aware, my order, placed on 12 May, was originally scheduled for delivery on 30 June. Instead of being delivered to my home, the furniture was mistakenly delivered to the Aintree store, where it was assembled by staff who believed it was intended as display furniture. I was initially advised that I could hire a van, at my own expense, and transport the assembled furniture home myself. I quite rightly refused and requested that my order be remade.

I was first told the replacement would take approximately two to three weeks. That estimate then increased to seven weeks, and I have now been informed that I face a further ten-week delay.

Since submitting my complaint, Jack from the Aintree store—the same individual whose handling of this matter formed part of my original complaint—contacted me on three occasions from a withheld telephone number. On two occasions he left voicemail messages asking whether I wished to cancel my order. On the third occasion I answered the call only to find it was Jack again asking whether I wanted to cancel because of the increasing delays. Given that my complaint concerned his handling of the matter, I found it wholly inappropriate that he remained my point of contact.

Following those events, the Store Manager has now contacted me. During our conversation, he advised that the matter had been investigated and that disciplinary action had been taken in relation to Jack. While I note that information, I have still not received any formal written response to my complaint explaining the outcome of your investigation or setting out DFS’s position.

The Store Manager then presented me with four options:

I could collect the furniture that had already been assembled in the store.
DFS could dismantle that furniture and deliver it to my home.
I could cancel the order and receive a full refund.
I could wait a further ten weeks for a newly manufactured replacement.
I find it extraordinary that two of the four options involve accepting furniture that has already been assembled, handled and effectively become second-hand through no fault of my own. I purchased brand-new furniture, not furniture that has been unpacked, assembled, dismantled and transported because of errors made by DFS.

Equally, suggesting that I simply cancel my order after months of waiting does not resolve the inconvenience and disappointment your company has caused. Having waited patiently since May, I should not be placed in a position where my only realistic alternatives are to accept compromised goods or start the entire purchasing process again elsewhere.

What continues to concern me most is the lack of ownership shown throughout this process. Despite the seriousness of this complaint and the significant failures that have occurred, no one from your Customer Relations team or senior management has taken responsibility for providing me with a formal written response. Instead, I have had to chase updates while the delivery date has continued to slip further away.

This has been an unacceptable customer experience from beginning to end. A £2,000 order has been mishandled, repeatedly delayed, and poorly communicated, leaving me with little confidence in DFS’s commitment to customer service.

I am therefore requesting:

A formal written response to my complaint.
A full explanation of how my order came to be delivered to the Aintree store and assembled in error.
Confirmation of the findings of your investigation.
An explanation of why I was repeatedly contacted by the individual who was the subject of my complaint.
Confirmation that any replacement furniture supplied to me will be completely new and unused.
Details of the compensation DFS intends to offer in recognition of the significant inconvenience, wasted time, repeated delays and poor customer service I have experienced.
I hope that someone with the appropriate authority will now take ownership of this matter and provide the professional response that has been lacking to date.

I look forward to receiving your formal written response without further delay.

Yours faithfully,

Peter M. Robinson
