Hayneedle

I found a good patio umbrella on one of Hayneedle's websites and called Hayneedle.  I was told that paying $2.99 for FedEx ground it would arrive on 5/17.  The umbrella arrived 5/11 and is exactly what we wanted. I'm a happy customer.

Extremely disappointing. I spent $240.00 on outdoor curtains for my gazebo that were supposed to be uv resistant. I realize "Resistant" is a key word however 4 out of the 8 panels turned an ugly rust color from green halfway through the summer. When I e-mailed cust. service i rec'd a curt reply saying that they were sorry i was having issues but there was NOTHING they could do about it. I would NEVER purchase from this company again!

Very unhappy.  I ordered one item and they sent me the wrong item.  They tried to make me pay for the shipping to return and credit me for it.  After fighting with them, they agreed to pay for return shipping and credit my card.  They did not offer to send me the right item.  I will never order from them again, nor will I ever refer anyone to them!

I wish I had read the reviews prior to making a purchase at Hayneedle.com.  

Beware!  Hayneedle processes TWO transactions on your credit/bank card and does not reverse the 2nd transaction until a week has passed.  In my case, they held the money even after the product had been delivered! They held my money hostage and almost caused me to over-draft on my bank account.  

Customer Service was very responsive, but the explanation and reason for such an archaic (in terms of technology for online commerce) way of doing business made little sense.  I understand when a rental car company puts a hold on your account for securty, because IT'S A CAR, but to do that for what ended up being a basket full of crap is ridiculous.

It's easily the worst online shopping experience I've ever had.

I am extremely disappointed in my experience with Hayneedle. I found the perfect gift for my boyfriends mother. I ordered it and received an email stating that the couldnt ship it to my work address because i work at a "resort". This "resort" is also a   Read full review...

I ordered a storage cabinet from Htaneedle.  Nothing on the website indicated that the product would be back ordered.  Instead it showed when the product would be shipped.

After 2 1/2 months and receiving emails syaing that shipment would be delayed several times, the product has not been shipped.  Yet, when I go to the website, the product shows that if ordered immediately, it would ship in a few days.

I buy a lot of products on online, and this is the unqualified worst company I have ever delt with.

Horrible customer service.  I spoke with no less than 5 people with 5 different answers and no satisfaction. They didn't respond to my PP claim and forced me to escalate the resolution. They charged me for a product I did not receive, after I called to tell them it was missing.  They then asked me to charge to my credit card for the same product (because they had no knowledge of the PP claims process) and they would credit my PP account, which they never did.  They told me on three occasions that the product I ordered was no longer being made.  I immediately ordered via Amazon and received two days later.  It took this company almost 10 days to finally return my money via PP. Don't do business with these morons. Don't know if they mean to lie, or are just incompetent, but I would stay far away.

I purchased four bar stools through Hayneedle. They provided the FedEx tracking number and link. Made it very easy to follow the merchandise. The bar stools came in as scheduled. I opened up one box and realized the bar stool was too tall. I needed shorter stools. I was introduced to "counter" stools. I called Hayneedle and they instructed me on how to return the bar stools. I did as instructed and ordered the counter stools. The counter stools came in before I shipped the bar stools back! I was very happy with the merchandise. I followed up on my refund and talked again to a representative. On both occurrances Hayneedle was extremely polite. I received my refund with no hassles. I would use Hayneedle again. I'm very pleased with the product and the service. I found the service top notch.

Placed an order for a Christmas present in November, and have been waiting 3 weeks for it to ship out.  I have been waiting weeks, I recieved a notice today that the order was cancelled.  They do not have the item in stock and just cancelled the order.  Instead of doing whatever they could to get it ordered, or letting me know so I could be shopping elsewhere- they just waited until now to tell me. 
I am not impressed with their customer service.  I am disappointed that they would list a product on the site they didn't actually have inventory of.  
I will, like many of the other posters, not be shopping with them again.

It was a waste of time. Never again I will order from this site. Bad customer service. I ordered a telescope and were cancelled three times without any email notifications. I have to check my order and came to find to out it was cancelled.  They blamed it on my cards billing info. It happened three times using two different cards? It's very ridiculous. I don't recommend this site.

Your order number: 6589461432487 Your Hayneedle purchase is on the way! Your order from ComputerDesks.com, a Hayneedle store, has shipped!
This is what we originally received upon placing the order 10/25/12. ONE month later we have yet to have the desk. I would have to say this an utter and total failure on the company’s part in efficient processes. I don’t know how it is possible to keep customers happy when the shipping vendors you work with make errors and they are not willing to correct them.
I appreciate the customer service, but with the amount of negligence within the company,  I will not be using your services ever again.  I will make sure I post my experiences with Hayneedle.com on as many social internet sources as possible to ensure buyers can be aware of the potential issues with your shipping vendors. If you have any questions...please look at these reviews from other sites:  http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.hayneedle.com

Thank you,

Chris

VERY UPSET.....Prior client who got 'coupon' which priced at the reduced amount and when went to pay, it jumped the price up.  When called customer service they stated that this item was precluded from the sale, and they couldn't help me.  What a waste of time!

I purchased a doghouse from Doghouses.com (a Hayneedle store).  The price was so much less for this name brand item than anywhere local or on the Internet.  I was especially skeptical when they offered free next day shipping if order was placed within a certain number of hours.  I paid for it using PayPal as I was a little concerned that I would have been putting my credit card number in on a non-encrypted page.  I ordered this item about 9AM on Wednesday.  Imagine my surprise when FedEx had this huge box on my deck by 11 AM Thursday!  Item is perfect and I'm still awed at the price and shipping.  Not only that, but my dogs, cat and I have had a great time playing in the big box!

This company billed me DOUBLE and shipped TWO 7-piece patio dining sets.  I had to pay to ship the duplicate set back before I could get refunded the nearly $1000 they owed me!!  Still waiting on the refund.....Would NEVER USE AGAIN!

I have made several purchases from Hayneedle.  They have always given me high quality products and exceptional customer service.  I am surprised by the other reviews and had to let people know that my experience with them has been excellent.

Horrible experience...Just ordered something for a gift for my nephew at college and they are shipping it to my attention instead of his...IT WILL NEVER GET THERE...on top of it, less than 20 minutes later after I specifically CHECKED AND DOUBLE CHECKED THE ADDRESS AND SHIP TO INFORMATION--The customer service (I say that lightly) rep told me as well as the LEAD customer service person that it was too late to change the name on the package and to stop it as well. 

They will charge me for the item, ship it and than have to hope that it gets refused by the college --I am not there so who knows who will take it and throw it to the side somewhere...and than they can refund me....
They are the most unfriendly company to do business with.  Ishop everywhere on the net and from now on this company will never see a stitch of my buisness.  HORRIBLE!!!  DO NOT SHOP HERE

Please stay away from these crooks!!! I ordered something, it never arrived... I called 2 weeks later to check on it and they claimed my bank declined the transaction. I asked why no one ever called me about it. They couldn't explain. This company is disgustingly shady. Their "supervisor" basically told me to shove it. BUYER! BEWARE!!

I ordered two Adirondacks and two ottomans, along with a table they recommended to go with the aboimmediately old me that the chairs and ottomans were back ordered to mid July.  That's fine.  They immediately send the "matching" table.  However, they later sent anotice of delay on thechairs and ottomans until the first week of August.  No problem.  Now they are tellingmore the items won't be shipped until the END OF AUGUST!  Of course, if they told me that at the beginning, I never would have bought them. I wanted theitems for this summer, notthee winter.  If they couldn't deliver they should have said so at the start.  I feel they were dishonest with their deliverydates, rushing the accompanying item while not telling me the TRUE delivery date for the main items.  I will avoid this company in the future,and suggest you do too.

I received my order this morning by Fed-Ex .  We were surprised at the fast service.  The bird bath was ordered on Saturday. It is a pleasure doing business with a company that has it's customers best interests at heart.  The bird bath was what we  were searching for. thank you very much it is nice doing business with a great company.  The packaging of this product is very attractive.

FINISHED WITH HAYNEEDLE - Recently purchased 2 patio umbrellas (different sizes) from Hayneedle.  Ironically they were just about the same price but I didn't like the smaller of the two.  Returned one right away and have UPS proof of delivery dated 5/24/12.  Today is 6/28/12 and I still don't have credit for the returned umbrella.  "EASY RETURNS, NO HASSLE, NO RE-STOCKING CHARGE"   That's what it says on their homepage.  After 4 phone calls and several emails, no credit, just excuses and everyone one of them has told me credit will take 3-5 days and if you don't see it by next Tuesday, let us know.   Today's phone call provided new information about a glitch involving my Hayneedle bucks.  Well, guess what Hayneedle, keep your bucks, I don't want them, I want my credit!   In addition, I was told I was now going to receive a check rather than a credit on my credit card.   But, no idea when that check will come through.  They will call me and let me know.......same thing everyone else has told me.   BEWARE AND BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY FROM THIS COMPANY.

I ordered four stools, and when I received them, they were not the quality I expected.  I requested an return authorization and shipped them back (at my expense).  They refunded 75%, not 100% -- no explanation, no -- attempt to contact me in any way.  I have thoroughly reviewed their return policy, and it says 100% refund for unused resalable items.  I hate companies that lie. I hate companies that do not communicate with thier customers.  I will never purchase another item from this company, and I will file a chargeback if they do not meet my expectations of a full refund.

Upadate --  It seems that somehow the fourth stool did not get returned with the first three.   Hayneedle has now refunded the remaining 25%.  They lost one of the stools for a few days, but the refund was issued without any further effort on my part.

Wish I had read all the bad reviews before I purchased from them. Terrible! I ordered the item 5/29. After 1 week of not hearing a thing, I called them. They told me the item was on back order and would be shipping on 6/13. The next day I received an email from them stating that the item would now be shipping on 7/9. I want to cancel this order but they said I cannot. NEVER will I order from them again! You should not sell an item unless you have it in stock and if it is not in stock, then state that on your website. I am so frustrated.

Update: Since I wrote this review, they have allowed me to cancel this order as the item was not available. I am happy for that.

I ordered an entertainment center from Hayneedle and 3 major parts came in completely broken. I have been calling them for over a month and they keep telling that they are trying to track the vendor down to see if the vendor can replace the parts.  I have called over 7 times and it’s the same answer “Sorry mam we are still waiting on the vendor, there is nothing we can do at this time”. I ASKED IF THEY CAN REFUND MY MONEY FOR THE BROKEN PARTS AND THEY OFFERED ME $40, $40!!!! I PAID $1500 FOR THE CENTER! Are you kidding me? DON’T BUY FROM THIS MERCHANT!!!

I currently live in Canada, and have a US package address.  I got all the way through the order and was quite excited about getting my window boxes!

I got an email stating that they do not ship to any freight forwarding or mail servicing places.  Really?!  Where does it state that in their terms?  NOWHERE.   But they're more than willing to charge an arm and a leg for shiiping, of course.

I have never heard of an online retailer that will not send an item to a mail servicing agent.  It was not a PO box, but a legitimate address.  I cancelled the order.  Disappointed at the lack of service.

I ordered two Baader Hyperion Click stop zoom EP's and the Zoom barlow that goes with it. This site immediately charged my credit card, then waited a week to tell me that it would be months before they expected to ship the items.


The email they sent me giving me the ship dates did not include my order number or even a description of my order. I had to dig back through my emails to find the information that these idiots were too lazy to type into an email. They had credited my account by that time, but I consider taking a week to tell me that you do not have what I ordered is far too long.


I finally told them to cancel the order.

Received a broken bakers rack from Bakersracks.com, a Hayneedle company.  Called immediately and spoke with Shawntelle, a customer service agent.  She was apologetic, polite and knowledgable.  Resolved the issue.  I would buy from again, especially if the other agents are anywhere near as good as Shawntelle!!

I Bought three bar stools from Hayneedle.  The stools were of OK quality but they were too low so I returned them.  When I purhcased the stools I charged then to a credit card but when I returned them they wouldn't credit my card but insisted on mailing me a check.  I didn't get the check
for 6 weeks from when I returned the stools.  They said they couldn't credit my card.  I'm a retailer myself and there is NO reason why they couldn't credit my card.  Totally BOGUS!!  It was just an excuse for them to keep my money as long as possible after they got the merchandise back.
