On Friday May 16, 2025, I purchased a refrigerator from Brandsmart USA at the Kennesaw Location. I have had the refrigerator delivered twice with dents on both sides. I have no refrigerator and some how Brandsmart cant deliver a refrigerator without any dents. Furthermore, the delivery driver that attempted to deliver today was very rude to me and when I called the customer service number the agent was rude and hung up on me. So unacceptable and ridiculous. Now I have to wait another week to attempt to get a refrigerator already paid for delivered.

To whom this may concern, I placed an order for a television from BrandsmartUSA. I order a 75 inch TCL QM7 from the company 05/07/2025. I paid $999.99 for the television, $227.62 for shipping & handling, and $85.93 in sales tax. I was schedule for delivery from the companys shipping partner 05/12/2025. I ended up receiving broken merchandise and BrandsmartUSA customer support assisted with the return of the merchandise, but I am still waiting to be refunded. I was advised that as soon as the merchandise is scanned that I will receive a refund and I have confirmation from BrandsmartUSA freight delivery partner that the returned merchandise was received by BrandsmartUSA today at 9:10 am. I reached out to customer service to get confirmation of a refund timeframe and amount and they refused to give me the information I needed. I placed this order May 7th and it is nearing the end of the month and I have nothing to show for this purchase. I do not have the order I placed, the damaged merchandise, or a refund. Attached to this complaint I have my order confirmation email, the full email transcript I have with BrandsmartUSA customer service team, and the confirmation I received from their freight delivery partner that the merchandise was returned to their warehouse.Customer Answer

On January 31, 2025, I had an Amana side-by-side water/ice maker refrigerator installed which was such a disaster I received a refund for the installation, and Brandsmart sent another team out to fix the initial problems a couple of days later. After approximately a month the water began to taste bad. I called Brandsmart who referred me to Flamingo Company, I never heard of. The guy came out said nothing he can do but I found out later he documented there may be a problem with the waterline. Brandsmart installed the water line, actually replaced the waterline since my previous refrigerator was side-by-side water/ice maker. I ordered a new filter paid $60.00 and only had the refrigerator for 2-3 months (those filters are suppose to last 6 months). When the door was opened at the bottom which houses the filter, a white plastic piece popped off preventing the filter from being removed. Flamingo came out again and since he could not fix the filter door he ordered a new part. Today 5/6/25 Flamingo came with the new part but determined that the water line installed by Brandsmart was installed to the hot water not the cold and was the main problem for the water tasting bad. I called Brandsmart and spoke with ****** a manager he was not helpful and transferred me to a lady who said someone will be in contact with me in a few days. The Flamingo tech today 5/6/25, could not install the new part until to waterline which was replaced by Brandsmart is corrected. From my understanding because Brandsmart installed the waterline to hot instead of cold could damage the refrigerator overtime. The way things stand I have bad tasting water, a broken door which houses the filter and waiting on someone to call me back.Business Response

On July 21, 2024, I purchased a ******************** Loveseat and Sofa along with a 5-year extended furniture protection plan. According to the receipt and warranty terms, the first 12 months of warranty are supposed to be covered by the manufacturer, with any claims during that period handled by the store.Since purchasing the furniture, I have encountered an issue that falls within the manufacturer warranty period. I have made multiple visits to the store and have called the furniture department and manager several times, but I have received no meaningful assistance. Each time, I am told to call the extended warranty provider, who has clearly stated that their coverage does not begin until after the first year.This is unacceptable customer service, and I believe the store is intentionally refusing to honor the manufacturer warranty, despite being responsible for coordinating it.I would like the BBB to investigate this issue and request that BrandsMart provide proper support or repair/replacement service for the issue under the valid manufacturer warranty.Attached is a copy of my receipt for reference.Thank you for your time and assistance.Sincerely ******* *****Business Response
