A word of warning before buying from…
A word of warning before buying from this company. When researching, they seemed really good. Only had 5 star reviews on Google, all the reviews were very long and went into detail about how amazing the products were and how good the customer service was. That should have been a warning bell; Always be suspicious when every review is positiveI....
So I bought a bed for dad trusting that the "30 day comfort guarantee" was as it sounds. A guarantee on the comfort of a bed. We had issues with the design of the bed - when it sits up, the fold is too far down the bed, and as such his feet stick off the bed about 20cm. So basically the bed is big enough when flat, but he can't use it when up.
Turns out the "comfort guarantee" applies only to the cheap mattress, which is not much help as the mattress is only a tiny percentage of the cost, and we'd be stuck with a useless bed frame and no mattress.
I made a phone call to Letto where I was basically told there was nothing they could do, as the big "30 day comfort guarantee" logo actually doesn't mean what it suggests, and instead it says in the terms and conditions that this applies only to the mattress. So I then leftt a review on Google outlining this issue.
Letto has then proceeded to:
- email me threatening legal action unless I remove the review -falsely accused me of repeatedly calling and verbally abusing their staff to the point that "several staff are genuinely distressed"; I have not. I've made a single phone call which was amiable.
- offer a partial discount, only if I delete my review (which clearly violates google's policy around financial incentive of reviewers)
- falsely accuse me of threatening to make repeated false reviews under take names. I have not. I did respond to their reply using my own name, after the original review was left from my dad's account. But this was transparent, we both share the same surname and I clearly referred to the previous review.
As far as I can see on the Google review, apart from my own, there is not a single non 5 star review. It is now very obvious to me the reason why. I would encourage people to read the reviews and consider if they seem genuine or all sound like they are written by the owner.
End result, it's now going to cost me money in small claims court to get my money back and I'll need to pursue for deformation.
