Good Support on Initial Sale

Good Support on Initial Sale. Unhelpful During Delivery Process So Far

First off - I never write reviews for anything but feel compelled to do so here.

This is my first experience with Rove and I was impressed with the customer service on the front end of my Milo Sectional purchase.

However, when I called to clarify issues related to the status of my shipment I was very put off. I had received an email notification that my shipment was being inspected in WA (north of Seattle where I live) only to learn there is actually no longer a facility there. Further, when I called the logistics agency, they told me they had attempted delivery but the merchandise was not provided. I called Rove customer support to try and better understand the situation but was instead lectured at length about how the shipping partner had given me bad information and lots of insights into how each "system" works at Rove vs. the shipping partner. Little appreciation for the confusion the situation had created - not a small matter as I try to plan upcoming travel while trying to manage delivery of this huge sofa. I had multiple calls with both Rove and the shipping partner. Only the shipping partner went out of their way to call their team in the field to better understand the status and resolve the confusion. The Rove agent(s) were continuously unhelpful and arrogant.

Important for Rove to appreciate that some potential "system" issue at the shipping partner that creates confusion is not a problem for the shipping partner but rather part of the full Rove customer experience.

I am in the process of furnishing a new condo and looking forward to receiving the Milo sofa - however, my recent customer service experience will certainly color my decision to buy additional items from Rove.

Hi Eric Hill,

Thank you for your review.

We're glad to hear that you experienced good support when placing your order on our site, but are sorry to hear that you are frustrated by the shipping experience. We sincerely apologize for your concern and that an automatic email notifying you that your pre-order products had arrived to our warehouse contained the wrong warehouse location. We thank you for bringing this to our attention and have now updated this, but assure you it has not affected the progress of your order. Once you receive a notification that your order has been prepared for shipment it can take a few business days for the carrier to pick up the order, so before this time unfortunately the carrier will not have record of it being scanned into their system. We are genuinely sorry if you feel our agents were anything less than friendly as this is never our intention when explaining the shipment process. We are happy to see that your order has now been picked up from our warehouse and is due to reach the local terminal next week to be delivered within the lead time of 7-16 business days. If you have any further questions or concerns regarding your shipment you can email us 7 days a week at customercare@roveconcepts.com, and we look forward to you receiving your new sofa!


All the Best,

Rove Concepts Team
