Frontgate

My daughter bought me a beautiful wood charging station for Christmas 2011. It arrived in April 2012. I have had nothing but aggravation with it- the electronic connectors for my iPad and Blackberry have fallen apart. They did replace the iPad connector but I have been without the Blackberry connector for months dispite repeated promises. My overall satisfaction is
very low. Unless you want a beautiful wooden box to sit on your dresser- don't buy it.

I recently ordered Christmas wreaths from Frontgate and paid for 2 day delivery. Today I got a notice that they will be delivered in 7-10 busness days, which means they will arrive about Christmas eve. When I called they informed me that I cannot cancel the order or recieve a refund because they had emailed me to let me know of the problem. Unfortunately, the email was sent from someone at a company with a different name and it went into spam. All email about my order came directly from Frontgate, with the exception of the one telling me about the delivery change. One gets the sense that they hoped I wouldn't notice so they would get the sale.

Don't order from Frontgate if you need speedy delivery. You don't necessarily get it.

Update: Wreaths did not take as long as the notice said they would. They ended up being shipped from within the state I live in. They were only one day late. Frontgate also did not charge me the extra amount for the 2 day shipping. If I had happened to live on the other side of the coutry though, it would have taken a lot longer.

I had been a happy Frontgate shopper in the past, so I was confident that I would be happy with my selection and did not mind the cost of the items.  I had only one problem in past orders, it was minor and it was corrected.  This recent   Read full review...

I was dissatisfied with quality of beach towels.  Towel threads come apart at first washing.  The towels are made in Brazil but are not a high quality material.

First time- LAST time customer. Ordered rug and pad (in-stock)weeks ago. Received pad within a week. After 2 weeks, I called to inquire about rug. Told it was back-ordered for 2 more months. Very disappointed that there was no communication to me that the carpet was backordered - to me is poor customer service.

Received a Dopp Kit with a battery/charger, item 46966.  The battery charger failed (no longer charges), so I contacted Frontgate about replacing the unit.  The response was a terse 'No we don't have parts'.  The bag itself is nice, but without the charger it is grossly overpriced.  I would recommend that you shop elsewhere.

This is my first time shopping at Frontgate, and I found that they have high end items from the home that you won't find anywhere else. I was very pleased with my purchase, buy I do wish I didn't have to spend as much money as I did and that the item had been on sale. Everything I want on the site is either not on sale or a bit too expensive right now, but the quality of everything is exceptional.

I order medium luxury down pillows. They sent me the wrong order 5 times. I have spent over 10 hours calling these people and trying to get their issues with ordering handled to no avail. They promised me they would not charge my credit card. Well they did. I had dispute it with my credit card. Frontgate claims I they never received the last pillow set back. Oddly, I sent the last 3 pillow set back together. Apparently, they received 4 out of 5. This company is horrible customer service is terrible!! They always say sorry and repeat the same error over and over again.
PLEASE SAFE YOURSELF AND SKIP THIS COMPANY

Frontgate has provided a number of quality items to our home over the past 7 years; HOWEVER, during the past year, I have received catalogs that had coupon offers which were expired and when customer service was contacted, they could not OR would not help.  When I asked if the coupon from the catalog could be applied to my purchase order and mentioned that we spent a lot of money with Frontgate and that the catalog came AFTER the coupon expired, the comment was that EVERYBODY spends a lot of money with Frontgate - VERY EXPENSIVE catalog store!!!!  The customer service rep refused to help in any way...result...my business will NOT be going to Frontgate and maybe when you read this, yours won't either!!

I will no longer attempt to purchase anything from this company. On multiple times after placing an order I am informed that it was no longer available. The last straw was tonight. At least this time over the phone I was told everything I wanted to order was no longer available. Why bother spending the time to purchase items for the Holidays to only be told sorry not in stock. Glad I recieved a discount card from them.

Horrible Frontgate shopping experience. I used to love this store.
Picked out expensive outdoor furniture after hours of research.
Waited overnight to order sofa and it was gone (my fault) but did order matching table and chairs. Two days later confirmation reads that the chair order is cancelled but my credit card has been charged the full big bucks amount. WTH?
I have had this experience twice now that the inventory they are advertising on their website is NOT the inventory available. Who has time for this?? I researched and agonized for hrs over this purchase.
Called customer service. So surprised. They are not helpful.
Where did frontgate go? They used to be great.
My advice? Stick with the companies who know how to sell on the internet and have excellent customer service.

Very poor customer service.  Recieved a gift from my sister in law for my birthday.  It wasnt practical so I returned it.  I contacted them and they let me exchange it for a pool float and pay the difference.  They called for my credit card two times because they could not get it right and the item never shipped.  Called weeks later and they said the order was cancelled because it was sold out!  Never bothered to let me know.  Way overpriced also.

I ordered 2 chaise lounges from Frontgate.  They were shipped on June 29th.  I received an email on July 13th that told me I would hear from them within 2 days regarding delivery.  I heard nothing.  I called 4 days later and was told I would hear from them within 2 days.  I did not.  I repeated this process 4 or 5 times and was always told they would be calling me to set up shipment.  I finally cancelled the order after a month of this.  The customer service was awful.  Only one of the many people I spoke to even apologized.  She also told me that my experience was not uncommon.  I cannot imagine ordering from this company again!

Frontgate advertised a "reward" program where purchases of $2000 qualified for a $500 reward certificate.  I placed an order for $2300 and waited patiently for my reward certificate.  I had planned on making another large purchase.  When I didn't receive it, I called.  They said that since I used a "free shipping" discount code, the purchase did not qualify for the "reward".   My receipt showed $237 in shipping charges....doesn't sound like free to me!  Well, they continued to explain that the free shipping only applied to the UPS portion of my order.  The truck delivery was not free.   So, not only was "free shipping" misleading, but their "reward" program is also misleading.   I will not buy from Frontgate again.  The quality does not justify the exhorbitant prices and their deceitful advertising.

I shop Frontgate all of the time. I last purchased Lynx headphones with the free Ipod. Both products arrived quickly and their staff was great.

I also purchased Backless barstoools, they did arrived damaged by UPS (it looks like the driver took a baseball bat to the boxes!). I call Frontgate, they were great! They took care of getting me replacement product quickly and were very friendly.

I order a lot of items online and by far out of all of the companies I've dealt with including Amazon. Frontgate was the most responsive and most friendly.

I will keep shopping because of the service and their willingness to correct issues quickly.

We ordered 5 of their pool floats in the past. We never had any problems with them so we never had to talk to customer service.

We just ordered the hanging pool float rack so we could hang up our floats.  It was supposed to hold 6 floats.  We were disappointed when we got it out of the box.  It is flimsy and cheaply made and we were not confident that it would hold our 5 rafts.  It didn't.  It broke in a couple days.  I called Frontgate and the customer service was horrible.  The lady starting making excuses telling me that if I wanted something more sturdy then it would cost me more than the $99 I paid??  Then she tried to tell me that the rack would make a great towel rack???  So, now I'm out shipping costs and won't buy from Frontgate again just based on that experience alone.

I will never buy from Frontgate again. I should have read these reviews first before I considered ordering from Frontgate.
The customer service is very rude, unprofessional and NO help at all.
Frontgate claims they have quality furniture, but yet I have return many items due to defects. I have only bought outdoor furniture,pool float and clock.  The pool floats leak oil when you remove them from the pool, the clock stop ticking and now I am dealing with the chaise chairs.  The chaise lounge chairs are 200.00/ea and i only had them for 2 years and the vinyl has turned color. I have asked for help to have the vinyl repaired and i'm told the 1yr warranty has expired, they have no repair shop and they are UNDER CONTRACT and will not give the manufacturer. So basically I put out 800.00 for 4 chaise lounge chairs and they look like.......Its absolutley upsetting!
NEVER NEVER NEVER will I order from Frontgate and NEVER will I EVER recommend them.

After reviewing the store reviews posted by several people, I was skeptical about ordering from this store.  but gave a try.  Received the item (queen size comforter) in almost three days (NYC), accurate and perfectly brand new and great quality item, especially the item was Frontgate own brand.   Packaging was great, I have no complaint about the transaction.

Four years ago my husband and I decided to not have a real Christmas tree any longer.  I wanted the best artificial tree I could find so that it would be reliable and easy to set up every year.  We purchased the largest frasier fir tree Fountgate, and we regret that purchase every time it comes to setting up the tree.  Every single year there is a problem with the lights not working.  You would think for that kind of money you would be getting a tree that didn't go out when just one bulb wasn't working.  Wrong.  The branches are also very fragile and break after a couple of uses.  This year it only took an hour to fix the lights (this was a blessing compared to other years), but the new problem we had this year was the stand.  It has rusted and become stuck in a folded up position.  It took two hours and harsh loosening chemicals to break it free.  I would never purchase this tree again.

Ordered early and then watched as my "instock" got pushed to a back order, then pushed back 10 days from that, then 1 more week from that, then another week and finally today, one day before the supposed 4th shipping date I was informed that the ship date has been extended another week. They string you along and you have to keep calling to find out, they don't tell you.
Do yourself a favor, DON"'T!!
