I bought a wonderful couch from them, great quality for the price and delivery was professional and hassle free.

Purchased a sofa sleeper on Apr 15 for close to $3K and payment was taken the same day. I was willing to wait for this custom order but after 3-weeks of not getting any updates, I proactively reached out and while I did hear back, it was not helpful information except "we are still waiting to hear from the manufacturer and will let you know once the order has shipped". After a further wait of another 2-weeks, I instructed them to cancel the order and it was another wait of 1-week before they could confirm if this is cancelled as it is a "custom" order.

When I finally received the confirmation of cancellation on May 21, I received this message "Kindly note that it may take approximately 14 business days for the refund transaction to be processed. Rest assured, once our team completes the refund process, you will receive an email notification."

It has been 20-days now and I still have not heard from them. This has been an AWFUL experience and I would be actively avoiding them and recommending people to do the same.

I highly recommended France and son for their outstanding during the delivery service yander and Ariel was very professional throughout to entire process

I adore my Platner Stainless Steel Dining Table! it's an absolute delight! The sleek design adds a modern touch to my space, and the quality is top-notch.

Big thanks for not only offering such a gorgeous piece but also keeping it affordable.

And their customer service? Outstanding. They made the whole process effortless and even helped me reschedule delivery without a hitch.

Overall, I'm beyond impressed. you've won me over completely. Thank you for making my dining area shine!

I’ve shopped with France&Sons previously and always had a very good experience. However, this experience was even a step up especially with an account specialist Abagile she went out of her way to help me with all of my needs. I appreciate her time and effort she spent in helping me from start to finish.

Competitive price for sure. Compared to any other retailer.

I ordered some wood wall art. It was the best on sale price on the internet. I received it a lot sooner than what I was expecting. I was going to order more but the sale was over by then.

Well, I'm extremely disappointed. They cancelled my order without first talking with me and without providing a reason.

When I wrote them and asked why Customer service wrote back and said oh the price was an error and we don't have to honor it.
That is false. In this country the law says that if you publish a price you have to honor it.

What they're saying is that you should never trust anything that we say or do on our website.

Buyer beware this is a company that you really should stay away from it is unethical and they don't stand behind their product or any of their practices. Go elsewhere.

I really liked their customer service. I had an issue with an item and they immediately fixed it. I received part replacement in a couple of days. Really good company

Great selection of mid century style lights to chose from at a good price. Shipping was simple and fast.

Beautiful light fixture we bought came on time and arrived in great condition

I ordered a wall sconce that was delivered on time. When I had it installed 2 weeks later my electrician discovered a defect. When I called with the issue I was told they would deliver a replacement. The replacement was delivered 3 days letter in perfect condition.

HORRIBLE Customer Service!
Order # 236627 Since they say they don’t have an order that matches!!
To follow up on my wife’s comments. It is now April 24th and we still have not received our refund from the console we ordered in January that we rejected delivery due to item being damaged beyond repair. We completed all their requests for a refund. They told us that it was in process and should be back in our account by today. Well it’s not. Contacted them again and they said they haven’t received the item back from the shipping company (which they use). NOT MY PROBLEM!! I refused delivery. That should be sufficient!! We told them that we will be contacting the BBB and filing a dispute with our financial institution. Now they are telling us they will “ask” the accounting department if they will issue a refund but they typically don’t until they receive the product back. Again, NOT MY FAULT THAT YOUR SHIPPING COMPANY HASN'T RETURNED IT!! Give me my money back!! I will NEVER do business with this company again!!

We ordered a console in January 2024, and we were told it was out of stock until the end of January/early February, and that was fine, it was out of stock everywhere. They said it would take 2-3 weeks for delivery, again no problem. Then when it was delivered by one of the most incompetent freight companies I have encountered (Metropolitan, we had to deal with them before) it was damaged and we refused delivery and informed France & Son immediately. They had us fil out a form stating the damage and supply pictures, done. Then we were told they need 7-10 days to review the form/damage claim. I think that is a bit ridiculous, however, after that we contacted them a few times asking for an update as we made it clear when we told them about the damage we wanted a new one and wanted to know how long it would take. They finally answered but did not answer the question rather asked if we would consider the freight company (Metropolitan) repairing the damage and re-delivering it. Umm I don't trust Metropolitan to deliver anything, their dispatch/drivers/etc. are a mess they do not communicate to each other at all, and since when do freight company's repair damaged furniture? It was a resounding no from us, then we asked again, how long it would take to get a new console, no response. Called, was told we would hear back within two hours, heard nothing. Called again the next day, was told it would take 6 weeks to get a new one, but they did have it in stock (what?). So we told them no we want a refund, was told they would escalate to our rep, didn't hear back for two hours and got a canned response about thanking us for contacting customer service, nothing about a refund. We called again, same thing, we will escalate this, an hour later nothing. Sent another email to cancel for a full refund. Another 2 hours go by, nothing. Send another email, I mean this place has great customer service when you show interested on their website or put something in your cart and leave without purchasing, they follow up almost to the point of annoyance. But in this case, our emails and calls fall on deaf ears. Very frustrated and I want my full refund immediately!

Terrible customer service. Real bad. My wife has been on the phone trying to reach a real person at France & Son for days, but to no avail. We ordered a sofa from France & Son and continued to call them regarding what date we can expect our delivery. No response. No tracking number provided. (WHAT?) But wait, that's not all. The sofa arrived unexpectedly and we ordered white glove service where they place the new sofa and remove the old one. The delivery truck guys were not aware of this, so they called France & Son and they learned that yes, we ordered the white glove service, but their truck was packed with future deliveries, however they managed to squeeze our old sofa on board. Great, so all is good? No. Wait. There's more. We ordered battery packs with the new sofa that were not with the delivery. ( These batteries control the recline functions). So now we're dealing with Mr Robo and his fill-out forms AGAIN trying to get these batteries delivered to us while we're running extension cords around our living room floor. This process has been VERY frustrating. All we are looking for is for France & Son to Fedex the batteries to us that we paid for. France & Son needs to put real people on real phones to deal with immediate and real issues. We're about ready to return the sofa, but are afraid that truck won't arrive here until September. UGH!!

I placed an order with France and Son on January 4th, only to discover later that the item was on backorder and wouldn't be shipped until sometime between February and March. Realizing the item was not right for my space, I decided to cancel the order on January 20th. Upon contacting customer service, I was assured by a representative that the order had not been shipped yet and that they would reach out to the supplier to cancel the order. However, a week later, I received the disheartening news that the item had been "processed for shipping," even though it had not actually been shipped. There was an entire week between when I requested the cancelation and the item had been processed to ship because the customer service representative at France and Son was unable to get a response from the vendor, Four Hands. To add to this, I was informed that a 30% restocking fee and shipping charges would be deducted if I choose to move ahead with the cancelation. Basic shipping was free and the item has not been delivered (I.e. there hasn't been any unboxing, etc) so why should I not receive a shipping refund? And a 30% restocking fee for an item that was never delivered?

As of March 4th and a lot of back and forth, I still haven't received any information about the status of my order, and despite my multiple attempts, they have been unwilling to refund my money. If I don't receive a response within the next couple days, I will filing complaint with ReportFraud.ftc.gov and/or other agencies as it is a fairly large sum of money.

I wish I read their other reviews before ordering. This has been an absolute nightmare.

I ordered a bathtub and was told 2-3 weeks. Two months later I asked to return the tub as I still didn't have it. I told them I had to buy another tub for remodel timeline. I then receive a docusign that I would be charged 899 for the return and I was only charged 399 for shipping to begin with. Their communications are poor and I would never order from this company again.

Only received one item out of my order and requested to cancel the other item, to which nobody answered me for months. It was five months before I got any kind of customer service, and only did anyone respond once I stated that I had charged back my purchase to my credit card as this charge was fraudulent because they had my money for five months and I didn't have any product yet. The 'customer service' representative then told me my light had fallen and been lost from a delivery truck, then threatened me if I didn't withdraw the charge with legal action. I repeatedly asked the customer service team to communicate with my credit card issuer to resolve the matter, and they refused, threatening me further and sending me invoices that I was advised not to pay by my credit card issuer. This company even went as far as threatening to send someone to my house to retrieve the item -- this was after I requested no contact until the company communicated with my bank and participated in the dispute and investigation. I keep getting emails late at night from someone named 'Wendy', with no phone number, no actual contact, and lots of threats. DO NOT order anything from this company.

Update in response to the store: As I requested in my emails, please send me an updated invoice so that I can pay for the item once my credit card issuer closes the investigation-as of this date (2/19/21) the store has not returned my card’s request for correspondence or documentation regarding the manner.

The one place where F&S seems to excel is inconsistency. There pricies are decent for what the product is, but the customer service is atrocious. Communication makes no sense and is abysmal. They do ZERO work to coordinate scheduling (this is abnormal for whiteglove delivery, given the nature of what it is, and the competition does it much more smoothly.).
The big problem is one of the products we ordered (5 total) was shipped completely wrong. OK, happens. Most companies would apologize and work on a remedy promptly, Not F&S. After much run around, they tell me they need 7-10 days to "investigate" the issue. Then, they tell me they will not replace, but rather refund and i can send the wrong product back. Except, they dont offer to refund the tax, or shipping. Now, i can go find somewhere else to get the product and buy it at a higher price (even from them it woudl be higher, as they gave me a discount based on volume) and begin the waiting and shipping process again.
yay!
I think i will not order from France & Son again. Too difficult.
