Customer reviews
I came in late, about 30 minutes before closing after being denied at a couple other places and decides to try Buddy's. So glad I did. The application was quick and easy and I was approved on the spot. The associates were friendly and helpful and I walked out with a delivery date set for my brand new bedroom set, complete with a plush king size mattress and bed frame with beautiful wood headboard, a dresser and matching side table. I would recommend them to anyone and they will definitely get my business in the future!
Sold us a used stove for a new one. And it was damaged. Told them we didnt want it and it has been in my kitchen for a week now. We feel like we should get a storage fee
Thought we were getting a new stove and they brought us the display stove from the store that was damaged and dirty. And to make matters worse i told them we didnt want it. They told me they would come back that afternoon to get it and that was a week ago now we have a stove in the middle of our kitchen just in the way. I feel like we should charge them a storage fee......... I wish i could upload my pics
