Fake price offered in sales call. Treated with discrimination in store.
As a customer who visited the store 3/18/2018, I received a call on 3/31/2018 from a man claimed himself to be the manager of Arhaus, Torrance store. Stated that he was following up on a bed I was looking for, and they are offering huge discount for 1799$ for the cal king size bed. After I said I’m not in town, he offered that he will keep the price for 30 days, and I can come back anytime with the low price guaranteed. I double checked with him if it was the cal king size bed, and the texture I wanted, he confirmed with me and said any texture is the same price. I was very surprised about the price, but he confirmed that’s because they are having a promotion.
On 4/22/2018, I visited the store trying to buy the bed, however, the manager did not admit that he had called me and did not recall such conversation has ever happened. I recommend him to look into theCRM system, since stores like Arhaus usually keep a record of follow up information in the system, and he said there were no customer information found under my name, even for lead generation paper, he said he can’t find a paper where all my personal information were filled out on the day of visit on 3/18/208. After the involvement of a regional manager, things got worse, he kept interrupting my conversation with a rude tone and his chin up, looking down at me with arrogance. As a Asian woman, who speak influent English, I have never got a chance to explain my experience of receiving a phone call from Arhaus about a product I’ve looking at in store. The regional manager spent no time investigating in the situation, showed no intend of clarifying the problem, but only refused to let me speak, refused to give me his name, and refused to offer any service to me, my experience with Arhaus ended up with his calling mall security and I was expelled from the store. I was informed that I’m not the only one who is experiencing this kind of situation, and the mall guard gave me advice and two phone numbers to file a complaint with Arhaus corporate and mall department that is doing customer complaint service.
I, a customer, come into Arhaus with trust, driving 1.5 hours from Orange County, only because I feel valued as a customer since the store manager called me in person and informed me with price change and a 30 days price guarantee. I appreciate his effort on my case and understand he want my businesses.
However, as a 26 year old Asian girl, left with tears and fear. I do not understand what happened, why this happened. And I feel deeply hurt by the rude behavior of the regional manager who even refused to give me his name.
Yes, I can not speak good English, and I can not express myself well, yet I still have the right to speak for myself and explain what I had been told over the call happened on 3/31/2018.
Arhaus, you win my trust when you want to win my business, but cheating a customer with fake price and dishonesty is the worst trick you wanna do as a brand.
Only if you can expel all the customer whenever an problem happens.
I’m helpless, would be happy to fight our right with any other consumers experiencing same problem with Arhaus. Truth need to be revealed, we need to be treat fairly with dignity. Please give advice. Appreciate you help.

Read moreI'm thoroughly disappointed in the poor customer service from this store. I booked an in-home visit for June 4 with a designer. I met with the designer in the store and we discussed furniture options. She printed out some items I liked. She then introduced me to the in-home design consultant. We agreed on a date and time and I assumed things were set. The appointed date and time arrived, however, no one from Arhaus Furniture was at my home. After waiting 30 minutes for the designers to arrive, I called the store. The store manager indicated the designer who was supposed to be at my home was not in the store but he took my information and called me back. He said the appointment was "not confirmed". I, in turn, explained that my meeting with both designers and having my name and information entered in the designer's appointment book constituted an appointment. The designer should have called me to confirm the appointment. I'm done with Arhaus. Six months prior to this incident,I had visited store and spoke at some length with a gentleman who said he was the regional manager who had come to the store from back East. I gave him my name, contact information and the types of furniture I was interested and no one contacted me. Again, disappointed in the lack of follow up and customer service. Arhaus has...
Read moreMy client placed an order with Tracy valued at over $60,000 in February 2023. In November, the wood on one of the dining chairs split and the chair fell apart. My client called the store and asked for Tracy to get assistance to rectify the situation. Not only did Tracy not call her back, but she actually answered the phone one of the times my client called and asked who was calling and then said that "Tracy wasn't available". The only way we were able to get a hold of Tracy (after calling twice in one day) was for me to call, with my client on the line, and say I was a new referral. Miraculously, Tracy came to the phone. This was a decent size sale for her, yet she couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone or call my client back to advise her on how to proceed to fix the chair. I will NEVER use Tracy again or recommend her to buy anything from Arhaus. BUYER BEWARE OF TRACY at the Del Amo Arhaus store. Also, another woman who answered the phone earlier in the day was outright rude and condescending beyond belief. ...
