Do not buy from these people, they are awful!
We purchased a living room set - two sofas, two chairs, coffee table, end table and two lamps - from Roche-Bobois Scottsdale at the end of July. They were super helpful during the sales process. The purchase was for almost $40,000 and we paid half down. They told us it would take six months to deliver and we could expect it in late January.
A week or so later, we were notified that the factory had rejected the fabrics we had chosen - these were fabrics offered by Roche-Bobois and recommended to us by the sales person - and we would have to pick different fabrics. The store was waiting for the head office in France to give them information on the "approved" fabrics but the French were on vacation. We followed up in mid August and were assured they'd get back to us just as soon as they heard back from France but we didn't hear a thing all through September.
Finally I sent them an email at the end of September saying we'd waited long enough, we still didn't have fabrics finalized and we'd like to cancel the order and get our down payment back. The manager then called me and said it is "against policy" to give money back but to come in and she would see what she could do once we picked alternative fabrics and offering me a 20% discount on the order if we would be willing to work with them. At this point I made it clear that I still expected delivery in January as originally promised and she assured me she would do everything to make that happen.
We went in immediately and were offered another choice of fabrics and we made our choice - based on the assumption that we would (a) receive a 20% discount on the order and (b) that they would expedite delivery since two months had already passed.
The next day she called us back and said the factory had rejected these as well and asked us to come in once again. Again we went in and made a third choice of fabrics. This time I once again said I would simply prefer to cancel the order but the manager said she would do her best to air ship the items - that while she couldn't promise January the air shipment would take 10 weeks or so off the delivery time.
We were leaving the next day on vacation. She promised to follow up with the factory while we were away and get us a final order with the 20% discount and an expedited delivery date when we returned.
When returned a couple of days ago and followed up (again, no pro-active follow up from them) they responded with an order confirmation that didn't include the discount and didn't mention delivery. I followed up yet again.
Finally, yesterday she said they could offer the 20% discount but could not offer the air shipment and the delivery would be 6-9 months from now - after we had already lost 3 months going back and forth, meaning we'd have to wait up to a year to get what we ordered back in July, AFTER we had already compromised on the fabrics twice and ONE MONTH after we had initially asked to cancel the order entirely. She said that was the best they could do and if we didn't like it she would give us our money back and asked me to let her know ASAP.
I called her today and said we had discussed it and we would take her up on the money back offer as we no longer had confidence in the company. She then said they could only offer a refund on the sofas and chairs - the other items were already in production and could not be refunded. This was even though we had purchased all of these at once because they went well together.
She said our only option was to pay for the tables and lamps and then buy the sofas and chairs elsewhere to "go with them". Completely ridiculous since it's almost always the other way around.
I asked to speak with her manager (she's the manager of the Scottsdale store) and she refused to give me that person's name or number. I asked who can I file a complaint with and she said "corporate" - but refused to give me a name, department, address, phone number or email address. She said I could look it up myself.
I have disputed the charge with American Express and am getting lawyers involved. I refuse to pay for any portion of an order when the entire order was place as one and this is clearly a breach of contract on their part.
DO NOT EVER BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE!
THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST!
I WOULD GIVE THEM ZERO STARTS IF I COULD! read more
