Ordered a shoe storage bench. Arrived in a timely manner however, they sent 3 of them. Called "customer service" and they immediately claimed responsibility for the error and said that mailing lables to return the additional 2 would arrive in 7-10 days. Once received, they would refund the amount of the 2 benches. I let them know that this was unacceptable that I should not have to pay for their mistake. Asked to speak with a manager . . . none available. Said I could leave a message and would get a call in 48 hours! Again, unacceptable. That was 36 hours ago & no call. Emailed their "customer service" department with concern and again a 48 hour response time. Received an instant "reply email" informing me it would be longer. Bottom line, their "customer service" is of NO service to the customer. In addition, the bench I ordered for $169. barely worth $69. Poor quality, directions & appearance! Beware of this company. There are other online companies offering the same type products that are responsible & reliable to do business with.

Same thing happened to me. Oct of 2010. Only they tripled an entire order. I ordered 7 items, they sent 21, even after I called them and told them what there system had done as soon as possible (next morning as it was a Sunday night). They said I was to refuse the packages, NOT, they sent return tags. Sent all the items back soon as they arrived. We just now (1 year later) have been credited all of the items. After refusing to pay (then paying the minimum) to get results, I was just charged a late fee. Kept waiting for them to issue the credits but there site kept saying they had not. Horrible customer service. Just got off the phone with them trying to get some results. They hung up on me. Do Not Buy from them.

I just ordered one item that was supposed to be shipped to a state different than my billing address. When I received the order confirmation email, the shipping address had the correct street and city but took my billing state and zip code. As soon as I received this email, I sent email back stating they changed the shipping address and it needed to be corrected because the city, state and zip they had did not exist. Then the next day I called during business hours because of course they ignored the email. I waited on hold for 20 minutes before a human answered the phone, and when I explained the situation he could care less. He refused to fix the address and said the order would be cancelled and I would get refunded. But that did not happen either. The next day I got a tracking number for the shipment. They have absolutely NO customer service skills at all. And this same problem with shipping addresses being changed in their system has happened before to other people. Don't waste your time with this incompetent company.

Agree! STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! Website didn't work when I was trying to order, so I called a representative. That rep told me she could see the order and that it was in process. I would receive an email confirmation...never did. I then looked on line a couple days later to see the order cancelled - I never received an email about the cancellation. I phoned to inquire and got lost in their automated system. Called again to speak with someone who told me the ordered was cancelled because I wanted to the item shipped to an address different that my billing address and that they only send emails to confirm orders and shipping. They could fix the problem by performing a security check through a series of questions. The first question was my social security #! WHAT?! I informed them only banks and the government need that. They refused to process without that info. Are they for real? I agreed to change the shipping address to put the issue to rest and now the item is no longer available. I asked for a manager and got the same run around as others commenting here...still cannot reach anyone. BAD BUSINESS! Needs a formal complaint to the Attorney General for soliciting social security numbers!

I had nothing but satisfactory experiences. These people sound like they're the ones who cannot place orders correctly online, they should stick to store shopping.

Just got off the phone with customer support for the 3rd time. I ordered an exercise machine on Dec 11th and still had not received it. When I talked to CS exactly one week ago it was decided that I would wait till the 5th to check back and if it had not shipped yet I would then cancel the order. When I called today to see if it had shipped I was told that the manufacturer cancelled the order because "I had moved and it would be shipped to the wrong address!" Although we are planning a move soon, I have not yet moved... I waited 56 days for delivery and still did not get the product and someone took the liberty of cancelling my order for me before it should have been. This is the first time I have ordered from Gettington and I am sorely disappointed, I will never try to do business with them again.

Recently I ordered 1 bottle of polo black and 1 bottle of polo sport.
Not only did gettington charge me more than 50% of average cost, but also charged me $20 for shipping for an order that was over $200 just for two bottles of cologne that are under a $100 in any dept store...as soon as I pay off this acct I'm closing it!...feeling foolish!

I really cant relate to any of these peoples complaints, I purchased many items from Gettington... I never really had any problems with any thing from clothing /small appliances /furniture .As far as price sometimes there even less than other Shopping networks, You save time and money an sometimes you even get free shipping, Just check the coupons.

When you buy a defective product that falls apart that is 5 months old and one part broke a month after receiving it and now whole chair is broken why do you have to buy a container and pay return postage? This is the second large item I have had to return is something wrong with your products?

I ordered three runner rugs in March of 2017. They sent me one rug and later informed me that they were out of stock on the other two. I told them that if they were out of stock, they should have told me prior to sending only one rug...I could have cancelled the entire order at that point. They credited my account for the two rugs that were not shipped and I cancelled the order for the other two. Here it is June of 2017 and the other two rugs show up at my door. They did not notify me that they were shipped. I have refused the rugs and intend to ship them back, but Gettington wants me to pay for the return shipping. I refuse to do so and have contacted the consumer complaints government agency. I am preparing a letter to the CEO and have not gotten satisfactory concern or co-operation from their customer service department. I am printing all of the e mail correspondence between myself and customer service and forwarding it to their CEO. I refuse to be handled in this manner and will close my account with them as soon as I have paid off my balance.
