Horchow

I bought 3 sets of "Vivre" dishes by Tracy Potter. Delivery speed was excellent, however, the product is lousy. It chips with extreme ease, customer service told me it was microwave safe, however, there is no microwave safe sign anywhere. Chipping is what bothers me most, feels like a total waste of money. I was hoping that 3 sets of dishes from Horchow would last a bit more then a year. I did contact customer service at Horchow. I was politely told that nothing can be done about plates that chip. I could have purchased 3 sets of dishes almost anywhere else and they would have fared better. Usually I give away my dishes in MINT condition after years of usage. Horchow is a dissapointment as far as the quality and the policy goes.

I placed an order for a substantial amount of monogrammed towels through Horchow recently.  When they arrived, the bath towels, hand towels, and face clothes were completely mismatched, as they had come from different dye lots.  I returned the merchandise (which was a painful experience in itself), and decided to give Horchow another chance, placing my order again.  Lo and behold, the next batch of towels had the same problem.  I will never buy anything from this company again.  What a waste of time!

Long story short - their shipping charges are more than ridiculous and shipping service is the worst ever. Long version - We ordered the platform bed, shipping was ~$450. When I pay so much for shipping I expect some accomodation. Nope, not here.   Read full review...

Absolutely the worst customer service! They sent me the wrong rug, and refused to do anything out of their expense to send me the right rug overnight. Companies like this make me sick. It clearly stated on the packing slip that I was supposed to get a Sefavieh rug in Taupe and Blue, they sent me a rug in an Ivory and Brown color, and were extremely rude when I called to have the correct item sent. They did nothing out of their way to make me happy as a customer. I spent 45 minutes on the phone with them being ping ponged around their office, transfered to 6 different "supervisors," and didn't get a straight answer from anyone there. I can't believe that this company is in business.

I was looking at some bedding from Neiman Marcus that was really expensive and I started to order it. The order contained one 28" King size coverlet, one King size dust ruffle and 2 pillows. In the middle of ordering it, I checked my e-mail and saw   Read full review...

If you order from Horchow be prepared to work for your purchase.  I ordered 2 bedroom sets in August, 2008.  The first one came with a broken handle on the armoire, but that was the least of my problems.  I found out they lost the second one after my second phone call to customer service.  They should have never found it.  It was cracked and falling apart.  It was not solid wood, but rather pressboard, but they charged as if it was solid wood.  They picked it up and I refused to have it replaced, so I was credited the amount of my purchase.  As for the broken handle on the armiore.  They just emailed me that they can not replace it because the vendor has discontinued making it.  She offered me $100.00 credit.  Now why would I want to order anything from them?!  They charge high end furniture prices for crappy products.

Beware you will not get what you order or the price that you order it. Customer service will not help you they will tell you one thing and do another. Charge you for the for items you never recieved. They will put you on hold and then hang up on you. You can get a supervisors name and they will never be in to assist you. The will eventually elevate to something they call executive services at neiman marcus which I have been waiting over a week to hear from. You will eventually have to call your credit card company to put the charges in disbute. This is the worst online experience I have ever had and will never shop with them again. Keep all paperwork so you can prove what you had agreed to pay.

I ordered 3 silver plate flatware sets (of 20 pieces), a hostess set, and the butter spreaders. The name of the pattern was "Plume". It started falling apart as soon as we used it. Literally, it came apart in our hands. I emailed Horchow within the 6   Read full review...

This store makes "free shipping" offers "sitewide*", then adds excessive "additional shipping," and "delivery and processing" charges which no one seems able to justify. A customer care associate explained that this company uses the terms "shipping,"and "delivery" for the same process, but could not explain that if they were all the same thing, only "shipping" was free. Does $68.00 "delivery and processing charges" and "additional shipping charges" (which cannot be waived) seem excessive for an item which is offered at 129.00, and is being shipped within the continental US? Interestingly, This item was manufactured in the phillipines for far less what it would cost to make it in the US,and it seems this company would like to pass on the cost of its own shipping from a country with cheaper labor on to the American consumer. Greed, pure and simple.

I ordered a rosewood sleigh bed from Horchow. The men who delivered said they would not assemble the bed! I'm pretty handy with tools, and I had already disposed of my old bed, but, low and behold, ALL of the fastening hardware was missing!!! I called the shipper, they said they had no idea where the hardware was, so I called Horchow, they said they would send the hardware... a few days later I got two duplicate bags of the wrong hardware, I then tracked down the manufacturer of the bed in North Carolina, they sent the correct hardware, even though they said the bed had been discontinued. I assembled the bed and am happy with it... thumbs down to Horchow, two thumbs up to the bed manufacturer!!!

I am SO DISAPPOINTED with Horchow. First, five consecutive items have been damaged-all different items! If that wasn't enough, it took so long for any C.S. rep. to figure out how to re-order/re-ship the items-taking at least 30 minutes to figure out...not professional and courteous as you should expect. Second, after spending $9,000 on 2 chairs, a rug and small end table, the chairs were delivered and the fabric was awful-it was CANVAS!!! The table and rug have yet to be delivered although I have been charged on my c.card for two months and I still can't get an answer or returned phone call. Third, I ordered Christmas presents and gave them to my family and found out that the nutcracker candy dispenser doesn't work, and the photo album was monogrammed incorrectly (although the letters were in the right order on the receipt).

This has been a total disaster and I am so disappointed because I love the items as they appear in the catalog!

I would think twice b/f ordering anything.

I have been trying for over 3 months to get a bed from them. The first one I ordered showed it was available on their website. A week later they call to tell us it was discontinued. We place another order for a different bed. It was delivered 6 weeks later and was broken. We contacted Horchow and they said they would send another one and exchange it for the broken one. Three weeks later a truck comes to pickup the broken one. They do not have the replacement. 4 weeks later the delivery company shows up but they only have the headboard not the whole bed. This is my first and last dealing with Horchow. They can't get anything right. I have since purchased the bed elsewhere and I will not even consider doing business with Horchow again.

The only complaint I have is that I always have to sign for the package which makes it most difficult as I work and I like to have all packages delivered to my home. It is not necessary that I be here to accept the package. The last delivery had to be picked up from the post office and I work the same hours as the post office is open. Another time I had difficulty getting UPS to drop at my home. It took numerous phone calls to accomplish this. Very aggravating indeed.

I was impressed with the selection and the continued contact while my order was being processed. One of my items had to be back ordered but I received a letter stating that my shipment would be delayed so all was good.

All the products are of a very good quality and exactly as I expected them.

I really can't say anything yet because I have not received the item I ordered. I can tell you this though that I was bummed that I won't recieve my order for 10 weeks!!!

I received the merchandise on time and shopping was easy.

I am pleased with the quality of the floral prints. I, as yet, have received only three of the four prints, but expect delivery soon.

Everyone has been extremely helpful when I've regarding questions. Quality of the products was excellent. I love the monogramming on all the products I've ordered. I would definately order again and have referred friends to the catalog when I've seen things I thought they would like or looking for.

Only complaint is the the colors of the towels on the web-site were misleading.

I have always received excellent service and help from Horchow. This is my first time for ordering via the internet - I usually order by telephone. My only complaint is (I think it may have been because of my first time ordering on line) one item I purchased was on sale - there were four variations of the item - summer, winter, fall and spring. I wanted fall but when it arrived I received winter. When I telephoned Horchow they said I had entered winter (because Fall was not available) - I was not aware I had entered winter. In view of the size of the item I decided to keep it - but I really would have liked the Fall item. I don't think I would have ordered Winter if I had ordered by telephone and had been told that Fall was not on Sale.

I have always found their merchandise to be of high quality, and as described in their catalog. Their customer service is excellent. Shipping could be faster.

I thought it was a great site and user friendly. Appears to have good choice of products which appear to be quality. Just received letter that parts of order will be shipped March 11th and the remainder March 31st. This was dissapointing as I wanted these items for Easter and felt I had ordered in adequate time frame to expect this.

only problem was that the box had been opened.

Orginally I thought Horchow woujld be too expensive. I found they are not. In fact, they are now my favorite place to purchase items. However, I did spend more with them but Neiman Marqus gave me a one time 15% off, a magazine subscription and etc. Horchow gave me a one time telephone call discount which I appreciate. One complaint: A piece of furniture, an amoire arrived and the door will not close. I have not contacted Horchow because I know the furniture came from China and I have been ill so I just did not feel up to making all the necessary contacts.

very easy & wonderful items at a great price.

I have used Horchow for many purchases and I have always been happy with the quality, pricing and service. They have always been dependable. I look forward to receiving their catalogue and shopping on-line.

I'm still waiting on my book 7-10 days is what they expected so far they seem like a very good company and their web site is great

They were very efficient. I received my order way ahead of time. I would have liked a better quality towel (heavier) but the monograming looks fine.

after ordering and then doing a internet search, I found I could have saved some dollars elsewhere.....

I love shopping from home with Horchow. period.
