I bought two swivel chairs that began to break down after 18 months: the ball bearings in the base started falling out. I contacted customer service and they not only told me we were out of luck due to their chintzy 30-day warranty but that they could not sell me the bracket so I could fix them myself. They lamely closed with "Thank you for understanding." Pathetic.
Huge mistake ordering from BisonOffice, which also goes by Bison Commerce. I will not make that mistake again. I paid significantly extra for "white glove" delivery by BisonOffice. They gave me a 3 hour window YET ARRIVED 8 HOURS LATER. I lost an entire day of work costing much more than the item I ordered and the shipping fee. When I contacted BisonOffice they promised to make it right -- and then later refused to do so.
In summary, BisonOffice provided a terrible service and their customer support has doubled-down on their error. I would never order anything from them.
Dear David,
I want to express my sincerest apologies for the inadequate service you experienced with our white glove delivery and our customer support. We strive to make every part of your order as seamless as possible, and I regret we fell short of those standards this time.
I have processed a full refund for the white glove fee. Please allow 1-2 business days for the refund to reflect in your account, depending on your bank’s processing times.
Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for allowing us to resolve this for you.
Best regards,
Bison Commerce
I had a very large mirror arrive broken twice! Then they did refund me, but now I'm stuck with two very large mirrors with broken glass in them and no way to dispose of them. I requested that they pick them up or provide a way for my to drop them off somewhere. All they said is that they didn't need them anymore. I don't know how I'm going to dispose of them safely without cutting myself with the broken glass, let along the almost 4' long mirror frames. Will never buy anything from this website again.
Dear Krystle,
I’m truly sorry to hear about the issues you’ve encountered with your mirror orders. We completely understand how frustrating and inconvenient it is to be left with large, broken mirrors and no clear way to dispose of them safely.
While we don’t typically arrange for pickups of damaged items, we want to ensure you’re not left in a difficult situation. We’d like to offer a potential solution:
Local Disposal Assistance: We recommend contacting a local disposal service or recycling center, as many of these facilities can safely handle large items like broken mirrors.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and hope we can assist you in a way that improves your experience with us.
Best regards,

I was so happy when I found this place because it had the same stools I wanted at a much lower price than anywhere else. Unfortunately one did come with cracked legs from shipping but they immediately sent a replacement. I couldn't be happier with the product and service. I will be using them again in thfuture for more furniture since their prices are very good and I am confident I don't need to keep looking elsewhere.
I discovered a beautiful table on their website. It appeared to be ideal and was also a fantastic deal, so I decided to purchase it. Regrettably, I subsequently took some measurements and discovered that it would not be suitable for the space I have. Given that I am on the west coast, I was unsure of their business hours, so I sent a brief message. To my delight, they had responded and resolved everything by the time I awoke. I want to express my gratitude to Gabbie for his assistance. Sincerely, Jake
Bison Office states the following on their website: Please check the content as soon as you receive your package. You only have 7 days to report damaged, defective, missing or wrong items from the delivery.
I called them 20 minutes after the delivery men left my house to complain about the quality of the product that was delivered, and I even sent pictures showing the damage of the item I paid $1195.49 for. There were various spots on the cabinet with marks/dents, and a knick in the front which are visible. They told me that they would give me $100 off the price, but said I can return the very large and heavy cabinet to them at my expense. Needless to say, I'm not happy with their customer or the fact that they said I have 7 DAYS to report any damages but they are unwilling to act in good faith to resolve cjustomer issues. My daughter said she found numerous bad reviews, and I only wish I had looked before I ordered from them. Don't deal with this TERRIBLE company!
Dear Customer,
I’m really sorry to hear about your experience with BisonOffice. It sounds incredibly frustrating to receive an unsatisfactory product, especially after spending a significant amount of money.
We have reviewed your case. According to the manufacturer of the cabinet, the nature of the spots and marks on the product was due to the distressed finish of the cabinet. Kindly note that in cases of customer's remorse returns, the customer is responsible for the shipping costs of the returning products as per our policy.
I hope you’re able to find a resolution that works for you. Thank you for sharing your experience; it can help others make more informed decisions.
Best Regards,
BisonOffice
Several weeks ago, I noticed that Bison had incorrect color photos and product descriptions for an entire product line before placing an order. I informed them, and they acknowledged the mistake, assuring me it would be corrected. Weeks later, I placed an order for one of these products, trusting the description and photo had been updated. However, they sent the wrong color. When I contacted customer service to request a return label, Lucy essentially told me 'too bad'—claiming I received what I ordered. I then called and spoke with another representative who immediately admitted there was an error on their end with both the site and my order but said it would take several days to investigate. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was put on hold, only to be told the manager wasn't available.
Even after sending Lucy photographic proof showing "hand rubbed bronze" taken directly from the link on my order, she once again retorted, essentially saying 'too bad,' because buried in the description was the word 'black.' She forgot to mention that the link clearly denotes "oil rubbed bronze" and the "black" buried in the description actually said "secondary color."
Despite now numerous phone calls, with the first customer service agent admitting their mistake, and each time placing me on hold for long period, only to return to advise their "managers are in a meeting", I'm still awaiting a response from management and the return label. They will only transfer this matter back to my "case manager", Lucy, who's created this entire mess to begin with. This entire experience has been incredibly frustrating and time-consuming, leaving me deeply disappointed by Bison's lack of accountability and poor customer service.
Dear Deena,
I’m truly sorry for the frustrating experience you've had with your order and the issues you've encountered with our customer service. We understand how disappointing it is to receive a product that doesn't match your expectations, especially after taking the time to report and trust that we would correct the issue.
To clarify, we have provided two free return labels so that you can return the incorrect items at no cost to you. Once the product is returned, we will be more than happy to issue a full refund. We sincerely apologize for any confusion or delays, and we want to ensure this situation is resolved to your satisfaction.
We value your feedback and are committed to improving our processes to prevent this from happening in the future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance. We're here to help and are dedicated to making this right.

I rarely give reviews, but Valerie, BisonOffice Customer Support Specialist, was so helpful, efficient, and took such pleasure in helping a customer that I'm compelled to write. I ordered a small, stacking shelf that unfortunately arrived damaged. Customer service responded to my report within hours. After providing a bunch of pictures, they authorized a complete replacement of the item. The replacement arrived in less than two days in perfect condition. Many thanks. Will definitely order through BisonOffice again.
Dear Jim,
Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
We’re thrilled to hear that Valerie was able to assist you efficiently and made your experience with BisonOffice a positive one. We apologize for the initial damage to your shelf but are glad the replacement arrived quickly and in perfect condition.

I recently ordered 12 conference room chairs from Bison Office, and while the majority arrived in perfect condition, one chair was damaged during shipping. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the prompt and efficient response from the company's customer service team. After providing notice and pictures of the damaged chair, they quickly arranged for a replacement to be sent out, which arrived in less than a week. Overall, I'm satisfied with the quality of the chairs and impressed by the company's commitment to customer satisfaction. Thanks for helping to make our area look impressive and elegant!

Wow, their customer service is impressive. I reached out via email and received a response within minutes. I could not believe how attentive, professional and kind the team was.

I will definitely continue business with Bison Office and I will certainly let everyone know how wonderful they are.

Run Away Quickly! This Bull$#*! office is the Worst! My Tv console came Damaged and after sending them pics of the Damage and boxes which they requested for an insurance claim, they offered me to Return it on my dime or get Replacement parts. R u For Real? Buy from anyone but these Idiots where All customer Service is Outsourced in another Country!

We ordered bedroom furniture from them. Good communication about delivery. One piece had a small crack that my husband can fix. They quickly issued us a partial refund
Do not do business with these people! They will consistently lie to you about your order and then keep your money! They don't even have a customer service manager that will return phone calls or respond to emails. The "manager" responsible for customer service and disputes is not available and I was told that she (her name is Daria) will absolutely not return phone calls to customers. Absolutely terrible business practices and I was forced to file disputes with both PayPal and my credit card company to try and get a refund for my money that these absolute shameful thieves stole. A complaint with BBB will also be filed and anything else I can do to affect their business license. I am making every effort available to me to try to keep other customers from being defrauded by these reprehensible crooks!

I bought 4 chairs for my patio, I open the box day 29 so I call them day 32 to let them know that I do not want the anymore before they look like they send me 2 open box, and they refused the return because I was day 32. So customer service is horrible, when they sell you something USED they are just wishing for day 30 to tell you that you need to keep them. I will never never used them again.

I ordered a set of tables and had a minor issue with one of them. Their customer service was immediate to respond, as well as very kind and professional. I was completely satisfied with my experience with Bison!
I love my new couch - it's beautiful. The delivery was superb - the couch was placed inside my home. The couch looks better than the pictures. It's sturdy and looks like a good quality sofa. Customer service was great! They promptly answered my questions about the delivery. I'll be buying from them again.
Over all best price and fast delivery came quick delivery and Quick response from customer service very professional. I definitely come back to this company.

I purchased two sets of bar stools after market survey. They were available at many retailers but Bisonoffice furniture prices were best. One stool leg came broken but was replaced by the company. I would say their customer service is excellent.
I ordered a dining set from BisonOffice and received prompt delivery and superior service for an installation issue which has been resolved by BisonOffice in record time. Highly recommend this company!
I bought 4 bar stools 40% less than anywhere else I looked, both online and at local furniture stores. All were received in about a week exactly as described. One had some scratches from shipping and Bison quickly replaced it. I am very happy with my purchase from Bison!
Answer: There is no reason to order from them. They charge a 20% restocking free for returns and make you pay return shipping. Customer Service is non-existentnt.
Answer: Dear Clare, Thank you for your message. Yes, if the item arrived damaged or defective, we either replace it or offer a full refund. Have a nice day!
Answer: Hello, A new instruction will be sent to you shortly. We apologize for inconvenience. BisonOffice Customer Service

Dear Mike,
We sincerely apologize for the frustration and disappointment you’ve experienced with your swivel chairs and our response.
