Deleted my comment and blocked my Facebook profile after I posted concerns about a local business (McGregors) that they had highlighted. Here is the comment I posted.
We purchased a Southern Motion double reclining power sofa from McGregor’s, and within a few months, the fabric began to detach from the backs and seats on both sides. This level of wear and tear should not have occurred under normal usage within such a short period.
After initially leaving a one-star review, the store became more responsive, and we spent four months working with both McGregor’s and the manufacturer, Southern Motion, to resolve the issue. Ultimately, the manufacturer would only agree to repair the damages. To McGregor’s credit, they have now offered store credit for the full purchase price of the sofa, which we appreciate.
However, they are also requesting that we pay a delivery fee for the replacement. Given that the original sofa was defective, we believe it is unreasonable to incur additional costs to receive a properly functioning product. Additionally, we are curious as to what will happen to the defective sofa—will it be repaired and resold?
We would appreciate a resolution that does not place an additional financial burden on us for an issue that was not our fault.
