The Brick
Worst customer service and delivery!

I spent thousands of dollars at one of their stores recently, and expected good service. Let's start outside the store:

A woman was doing a survey on client's spending habits there, and once the form was filled out, gave you a $25 Brick card to 'spend on anything'. When I presented that to the salesperson, he brushed it away and said "not on appliances".

Inside the store, now. The salesguy was nice enough, once we found one (we went 15 minutes without anyone even noticing us). I then told him what I was buying, and he offered me a 3 year extended warranty. I pointed to their sign that showed "Frigidaire and Whirlpool: 3 year FREE warranty on ALL PRODUCTS". He said "Oh, not on this one, though." I insisted, and he went to the manager, who offered me a 5 year warranty for $50. Sketchy, no?

Now, the delivery. One of my purchases was a front loading washer/dryer set with pedestals. The washer weighs a ton. The deliver guys (3!) showed up, and I said "You DO install it, right? " to which one replied "Well, no... your husband can do it, it's easy", and left us with the set. The one thing they did do was to bring the washer into the laundry room (a few feet away from where they were) and in the process, hit my piano, damaging the outside. I noticed this just after they left.

After a phone call to customer service to find out something about installation, I was then told that the delivery guys were supposed to set EVERYTHING up (except plumbing). She gave me an email address to send my complaint, which I did. 5 days have gone by, and nothing. I called the store directly, and was told that any damages would be a case of "he said she said", and basically "yeah, good luck". The fact that nothing was installed didn't seem to be any deal to them.

I will now file a complaint with our provincial BBB, and will never, EVER buy from the Brick again. Awful, and what a bunch of liars!
