Ok,long story short.I have been a loyal customer going on 5years because i just can't offord to pay cash for certain things I want there is no way.being on a certain income basics.ok back to it I started off good but in between time I have had my say so's at times with the customer service with certain ones I have bumped heads with.But continuing on.on different occasions the items I have purchased i always pay off.when its that time to pay off they do bomb rush you to add more! items and every time I do it again. when I've said im done...after I pay this off are pay that off lol but anyway when it comes to certain things in questioning on the 6month pay off and if not paid off it goes back up.that's the only part I have a problem with,but I will give them they flowers if you are a loyal customer and you pay on time no missed payments they will give you more time and they will work with you.if they feel that its a chance that they rather keep you as a Loyal customer they will step up and do what they have to do to make you happy. yes I've had my ups and downs with buddies but at the end of the day they come through. when you lease expect them to.just have patience and be respectful they will handle it the best way they can .I can say it feels like family at time when Im in the store.Don't give up just let them do they job they will get you right its been a ride.but its well worth it.they will work with you if you work with them just give them a chance it depends on you!!! thanks to buddies!!!! 😊 I have paid off a king size bed,a deep freezer,75inch flat screen,sectional couch,computer tower,and now im working on a beautiful black tv stand electric fire place, somebody body stop me please!!!!! They got me trapped 😂😂😂😂😂

They were very helpful and were responsive. I’ve been with them for 2 years and have had no bad experiences on my end.

Buddy's Home Furnishings

Took me about a month to get around to it, but on October 11th, one of the workers (Jeremiah, if I remember correctly) genuinely had to carry both a washer and a dryer up two flights of stairs just to install it at the top floor of my apartment. Genuinely looked like a miserable task but he was super polite and quick, absolutely no complaints about the products themselves, but genuine shoutout to that guy.

Travis and Anthony were wondering delivering my furniture. Made sure i was happy with where it was placed and everything. Also the store manager (sorry forgot how to spell your name) was a delight to work with.
