Found out they reversed my payment 30mins after it was processed, made it seem like I never paid so now I’m behind and they are holding me accountable for their mistake, big time SCAMMERS !! I should have listened to my instincts and never took the deal, I should’ve left after my first purchase and not start a contract. It’s more to this story but too much to explain.

Was told my delivery would be made between 12-2. Never called to let me know they couldnt deliver because someone called out. This is after they told me they were coming and said I could throw my bed out. I offered to help them move the furniture into my apartment. They acted like they didnt care i had to sleep on the floor. They said they would call me back and never did. They dont have any good customer service here.
