Pottery Barn Delivers 2/3 Of Your Couch, Then Gives You 2/3 Of Your Refund

From The Consumerist:

Here's a situation that sucks. Reader Joshua ordered a slip-covered sectional couch from Pottery Barn. It arrived with only one slipcover. When he called Pottery Barn to ask for the rest of his order, they told him that they'd run out of that fabric and asked if he would he like another color. He agreed and picked a color. They sent another slip-cover section. Not three sections. One section. Joshua called them back. They said they were sorry, but they'd run out of that color...

I ordered some bedding for my daughter several months ago. I assumed it was quality, put it away and found later that they had sent an item that was not even pictured in the catalog. I called Cust. Service and asked to speak to a supervisor. I was told that I would have to pay an additional $21 to have the correct item shipped - for bedding!!!!

The Customer Service at Pottery Barn is terribly lacking. They have kids answering the phones, and on weekends, there is no one on duty that is older than 20. It is hard to get a reasonable person to answer a simple question.

Shame on them for their lack of customer service. They charge enough that they should offer top-of-the-line customer service, especially on weekends. My kids love their items, but I despise shopping with Pottery Barn. It is totally frustrating and dissatisfying.

I have tosay that I don't think I will be shopping for any Pottery Barn items any time soon. Too expensive for such lousy service, and the quality has seen a decline, I think.

They are too full of themselves to notice people are not liking the lack fo customer service.
