They're delinquent and negligent! Not what I expected for "luxe" company
I have been a Costco member for a number of years. I've always shopped in store and I've never had an issue, in fact I enjoy shopping there.
Unfortunately, I've had a not so good experience with online shopping. I have wanted cushions on my bed for ages and found it so difficult to find exactly what I wanted, nonetheless, I decided I need a throw for my bed as well. I went in store and found the perfect throw, which once again prompted me wanting to have the cushions.
As I got the throw in store and seached the store for the cushions they weren't readily available in store but were online. As I was about to pay for the throw along with other items I stood in the queue and ordered a set of rust 55cm Paoletti cushions.
I ordered the cushions on the 21st of October and they were meant to be delivered within 3 working days. On Thursday a delivery came which was impressive.
I saw nothing in my home that indicated that there was a delivery. It must have been about 9pm after I'd settled and checked my email that I realise a parcel was delivered. I went to my safe place and retrieved the cushion wondering why the bag felt as light as it did, but assuming they must have vacuumed the cushions for them not to be so puffy.
When I ripped the bag opened I realised it was only one cushion, to my disappointment. Nonetheless, I assumed the other cushion would have arrived the Friday but started using the single cushion straight away. No delivery came the Friday or Saturday.
Late afternoon on Saturday was when I called Costco Customer Service and in essence got nowhere as the suppliers were closed, so there was no resolution. I was told an email would have been sent to me no email came.
On the Monday I called Costco again and the rep was somewhat more helpful, also expressing that she saw that I'd called previously. I explained the issue and was told again that an email would be sent as she had spoken with the supplier.
Now, the feedback from the rep is that the supplier admits their error and wants me to return the single cushion. They would send me a returns label and I should then take the cushion to the returns hub. Needless to say I declined! I explicitly expressed that time does not allow me to do that, but what they can do is have a trade done when the delivery driver comes with the other two, or they can send me one single cushion and that will be the end of that.
They declined being adamant that I should take the cushion to returns. In the end I rang Paoletti who were more or less insisting that I take the cushions to Evri as that's what needs to be done. In the end getting nowhere I resorted back to Costco where I'd spent my money.
Costco disappointingly reiterated that I have to return the cushion to the Evri, I declinedbto do that as i just do not have the time! I don't have a problem with them having the cushion back my issue is having to go out of my way to take a cushion we would have had no issues with had they sent both cushions.
I expressed to them that had this been Wayfair or even Amazon an apology would have been issued and the cushions would have been sent to be received the following day with them also allowing me to keep the other cushion as a gesture of goodwill. Not that my intent is or was to keep the cushion. Costco sent me an email telling me I have to take the cushion to the returns because that is just what I have to do!
Now, the situation isn't salvaged. In the end they said that they would send the cushions out still wanting me to take the other one to Evri. Normally when I have a delivery from Evri the parcel is left in my safe place as I work. This delivery driver came on Friday and left with the cushions without leaving them in my safe place or with a neighbour which all the other drivers do, on Friday while I was working!!!!
So now I'm over a week without Cushions I paid for while none of this is my fault! There was a generated email that the cushions will be reattempted for delivery today Monday the 3rd! Why has the driver not turned up after I took time off for these ridiculous cushions?!!!
I owe Costco or Paoletti nothing! They owe me and I feel as if I've done something wrong with the way I've been treated.
At this point I don't even want the cushions anymore because they're just a source of upset! I will be taking them straight to the charity shop as soon as they arrive and I'll never make another purchase online from Costco! My in store shop will also be very limited until I can find a replacement for the items I generally purchase there! Paoletti you're just as bad as this was all down to you!
