“Purchase and Delivery”

Naaz K.
6/1/21

We had a very good experience with The Brick on United Blvd. Coquitlam. Julie, the lady that helped us gave us an outstanding service. She is very professional, polite and friendly and made us feel very comfortable in making our choice of the furniture. The furniture was delivered in the promised date and another piece arrived earlier than promised. The delivery guys, I did not get their names, were very efficient, polite and professional. They worked very fast and cleaned up the area they worked in. We would shop at the Brick again. We are happy customers.

“Don't pay a cent! Scam!”

Marcus P.
9/5/24

I purchased under the specific terms of your "Don't Pay for 48 Months" promotional offer from the Barrie, On location. The negotiation and agreement I entered into was clear: I would not be required to make any payments for 48 months, and no interest or negative impact on my credit would occur during this period, provided I adhered to the terms. Unfortunately, despite following the agreed terms, I have recently discovered that The Brick has faulted on this agreement. Payments have been recorded against my account, and this has resulted in damage to my credit score. I did not expect this breach of contract and find this situation unacceptable. I have contact the branch manager, sales rep(Long) and no resolution, buyer beware of these so called "dont pay a cent"

I bought an electric fireplace and was informed by salesperson delivery would be within two weeks.
After two weeks and numerous calls I was told fireplace was out of stock and would be arriving in another two and half months later.
Customer service is horrible. All our attempts to get definitive answers were futile. All we got was a run around.I do NOT recommend shopping at The Brick.

Same as I bought this for my daughter whilst on vacation in Canada .It was eventually delivered after one month

We went to Centre Mall location and spoke to salesman. We said we want to buy a freezer and we came here because you will remove the old one. The salesman said yes. There was no shopping or showing needed, we knew what we wanted. All the salesman had to do was fill out the delivery order. Sadly it must have been too complicated for him as he did not put anything about the removal. So when delivery happened and the old one was not removed I called the store.they basically said too bad so sad... we will give you $50... not good...then spoke with store manager and same thing... too bad so sad... we will give you $65... not good enough...spoke with head office...and they said same thing...$65... why don't they understand its not about the money...it's about the service... the PROMISE... now we have to arrange to have this removed from our apartment as we are not lifting a freezer... NEVER shop there again. Too bad so sad... NEVER AGAIN

Ordered a dryer and freezer on Friday. To be delivered at 1:45 Sunday. Showed up at 1 pm. Included disposal of dryer in my order(free). I followed the pages of written instructions about buying hoses from the brick for installation, clearing areas etc. The delivery guys proceeded to remove the dryer and the pedestal which can be used with the new dryer. I called the Whitby store. They said ask them to take it off. Their reply: not my job, I'm not paid for that. I called and asked to speak to a manager. No one ever called back. My husband came in the house and said they hit his shoulder with the delivery truck door and drove off. I called back today and wasn't able to speak to anyone about the delivery. I evetually spoke to a salesperson and again they said a manager will call me back. It took 4 screws to remove the pedestal. Not sure they care, but they lost a customer.

I purchased a very expensive leather recliner and in a year the chair broke (something mechanically) I called the Brick because I also purchased warranty! They made it sound so simple when selling me this... "that if my couch wasn't able to be repaired the Brick would replace it"
So it's been over 3 months now and they are still "waiting" for a part to fix my arm chair,
Don't bother with warranty because it is a nightmare! Never dealing with the Brick again.

Tip for consumers:
stop getting sale people to lie about warranty and tell customers the real truth of what a pain in the $#*! it is to use the Bricks $#*!ty warranty

My girlfriend and I tried ordering a couch from this business and were not given the proper dimensions so it ended up not fitting in the elevator and therefore we didn't get what we ordered. To add the movers were horribly unprofessional and rude spouting hate filled rubbish the whole time as though nothing were wrong. Terrible service as they would not refund the purchase for anything other than "In-store Credit"- seems like a scam. Rough communication and a lackluster performance all together. Truly an Awfully Appalling way to run a business.

Tip for consumers:
No effort was made to get the item beyond trying the elevator. didn’t try to dissemble it or take it up the stairs just said it was a loss when they could have done more.

My experience with The Brick Corporate has been an absolute joke. They do not care for their customers and as far as their warranty matters are concerned.they have some woman with a spiteful attutide answering the call who can only recite the "corporate policy" where they don't seem to care what your issues are, they make promises they dont keep and throw you to the wolves when it comes to actual warranty matters. Very sketchy corporation with a shady business practices.I guess this is somehow normal practice in Edmonton.

My husband and I recently purchased a large amount of furniture at The Brick for our new home. The sales people were quite helpful during our visits to the store it neglected to share some important information, such as the fact that our new kitchen table was not currently available and may not be delivered for 2 months. We learned this on delivery day when the tables/chairs we were expecting did not arrive.

More concerning however was the delivery of our new LG washer and dryer. The delivery guys did not finish hookup of the dryer as our wall vent was loose. This meant that I was unable to see whether the dryer was working properly before they left. As we had not yet moved into our new home when the delivery happened, it wasn't until 3 days later that we did our first load of laundry. While the washer was fine, it was immediately apparent that something was wrong with the dryer by loud clunking sound it was making. Additionally, in less than a minute, the outside of the unit had heated up to the point where it was hot enough to burn to the touch. In calling The Brick first thing in the morning, we were shocked by the run around that we were given. Staff were rude and argumentative on the phone, refusing to help us and insisting that we contact LG directly. We wasted several hours trying to resolve this issue and must now wait for a service visit from LG - despite never completing a load of laundry with the unit. The Brick had no interest in helping us or acknowledging that they had delivered us a defective product. Dealing with this store has created a significant amount of stress in what should otherwise be an exciting time for our family. We could not, in good faith, purchase another product from The Brick without an appropriate resolution here.

Don't bother purchasing warranty with this company as they won't grant it. They lie on the phone about how to submit claims and than proceed to tell you that what do you expect when you purchased this product in 2021 even though I purchased 5 year warranty. Very disappointed in the way it was handled. I was told this is normal wear and tear even though I told them I store my furniture inside in the winter

Tip for consumers:
Terrible service and not helpful.

I purchased a 85" QLED TV in 2021, along with service warranty. In February 2024 the TV had some issues. King and State the warranty company were quick to dispatched a technician form Universal TV Repair on February 20thto asses the damage, after which it took them till March 22 nd to deem the TV on repairable. On March 24th King and State informed The Brick to replace my TV. On March 25th i paid the extra cost for the new TV along with the taxes and new warranty package and extra $ 2092.34. Today June 13th I still don't have the TV delivered. I just heard today that it could take as long as the end of July. I just need all of my money back, so i can buy the TV from Best Buy or Costco

I am frustrated with Bricks return policy even you buy the warranty. I purchased a LG All in One Washer around April 10 from Windsor Bricks and sales person lady assured me that it is brand new with no issues, and is being sold cheaper for being floor model. The sales lady convinced me to buy three years warranty too. This top LG washer happens to be a pain in the neck. At very first cycle 0f 3.5 hours, and it didn't dry the clothes and error code keep coming up. The technician has changed the parts three times, but the clothes are still wet. The Bricks manager just advised me to keep calling the manufacturer and said they
Can't take this crap back. I am so stressed out.

Ordered a washing machine on Wednesday, got a confirmation for delivery on Friday. Booked day off work and reserved our condo elevator. Today, Thursday, we hear from them that the delivery cannot be made. Took several phone calls to learn the original delivery confirmation should never have been made owing to the fact that the connection assessment had to first be done. Finally got an agent committed to help us, and he did follow through by refunding our payment immediately, thanks. This seems to be a common problem with their company/customer service culture.

Products used:
None. We cancelled our purchase of a washing machine to be delivered.

You purchase from the brick, they organize the delivery people, they organize the assembly people, and then, when you're room is damaged by those people, they claim they are not responsible for any of that. You have pictures of the proof, and all they can say is, we are not responsible for our staff. This is a terrible company, they never stand by any of their products, or services, and I hope, in the future, everyone will shop elsewhere, and not purchase from the brick.

Tip for consumers:
It wasn’t the product themselves, the delivery people, and assembly people that were putting together the furniture for my daughter’s bedroom. They completely scratched up the brand, new hardwood floors, and they are claiming they didn’t do it. They were the only people in that room assembling furniture, the brick claim they are not responsible for their staff, which is utter nonsense

I bought a couch there, it twisted and got all out of shape. It was deemed unfixable and was told to pick out another one. I didn't see any I liked but settled on one $400 more! This one is doing the same thing. I told them I want my $1700 back. I was quickly told No. I've been pushing the issue for weeks now, and yesterday the manager of that store offered me a settlement of $320 and keep the couch. This is absurd! I'm contacting the Better Business Bureau today. Out of 2 sofas I bought, there both garbage. All I want is my money back. Simple as that. I will keep posting updates on this matter to let everyone know the outcome.

I bought 55" TV and 2 days later I went to the store to pay the difference and get a 65" TV. They told me their policy doesn't allow it. I asked them what option I have and I have to buy another TV if I want 65".
My advise is never shop at this place online or in store. If you go back for any customer service, yo will be treated like you should not be there.

Tip for consumers:
Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Will never shop in store or online ever again.

I bought a lift chair for my ailing father. The three parts making up the backing were not aligned, which is not only a cosmetic but potentially also a structural problem. I was told defiantly that the offer of 300 dollar refund is more than what they should give, even though I asked repeatedly For a new chair. Horrendous, appalling service. Will never buy again from the Brick!

Purchased a gas range along with a microwave with a built in hood fan.
The installation team called a few times already. Got a feeling the right hand don't know what the left hand is done as the dispatcher doesn't seem to know where their techs schedule are.
Items are drop off on time by their delivery team yesterday. The old microwave is remove and new one is installed, gas stove is disconnected but the tech don't know how to install the new gas range.advised another tech will come by. After 4 hours of waiting and calling back and forth.
End result no clue when the tech will come and hook up the gas range.
Now we are not able to cook for the weekend with a disable mom.
May have to hire another company to hook up.
Another problem is we have prepaid the brick for the work.
Worst experience dealing with the installation department at the brick.
Delivery department was ok.

I bought my furniture with extended warranty, now I want to claim my warranty. As per rep who sold me the warranty told me everything is covered for 5 years.
But when I submit my claim they said it is not covered.
The Brick employee hiding the information and upsell the warranty with the furniture to make more commission from the customer. Just want to tell everyone who are planning to buy furniture and warranty from the brick please don't waste your money and time. Try local stores they have better designs and they didn't do any false promises and are more transparent than Brick store
