I bought a bed several months ago. After it was delivered 3 weeks late the bed was severely damaged. I asked their MD for refund and they stop returning my calls. As soon as i threatend legal action they soon paid up. I checked further into this company and they also own Eventure Internet an internet company known for ripping people off.

I bought £1694 worth of furniture from this company back in May 2012, by August, it became apparant that they were never going to fulfill our order. I had the same lack of response as most other reviewers on this site and so rather than waste time chasing them I submitted a claim to my credit card company. At long last today (25.01.13) the credit card company paid my claim in full plus £225 compensation as they themselves were very remiss in handling our claim. For all you people... (read more)

Hi if you want your money back contact citizens advise and your bank. Doesn't even matter if you didn't pay by visa as you can apply for a refund through the distance selling act. They will tell you step by step how to go about gretting your money back. I processed a claim against the company last week and my bank have advised full refund to me by Friday. Even if you received the goods and they are wrong and damaged you can get every penny back you paid.

Disgusting service, nothing short of a fraudulent scam. I ordered and paid for a bed last November being assured it was in stock and would be dispatched in 10 days. Now the middle of January, still no bed, and the promised refund hasn't materialised either.

In early October 2012, I saw a sofa bed on their website which was on offer. It was exactly what I wanted and at the right price, so I contacted them to let them know I wanted to purchase that particular item, and asked if they would be able to arrange for a Saturday delivery to where I live in Blackpool. They told me it was possible, and so I placed my order. Back then, the reviews online were mainly favourable, but after a bit of investigation today, I suspect many of them might have been...

UPDATE 11 Jan 2012 16:29 - I have FINALLY got my refund, but it should not have come to this. The fact that customers have to resort to threats to get anything sorted out is indication that something dodgy is going on. I would advise against buying anything from this company unless you wish to go through the same frustrating rigmarole as the rest of us.

If you wish to purchase from a company which will take your money immediately and then never answer the phone, never respond to your written (electronic) correspondence, never provide you with a delivery date and never delivery your order, then this is the online retailer for you. If you expect a company to do any of the above, then you are better off shopping elsewhere. Maybe they are better in store... The item I purchased as "in stock" on their website clearly isn't.

I have been in a similar position (waited more than two months...when I phoned, they kept saying it would be delivered but nothing happened for weeks even after I was informed stock had arrived), and in the end cancelled my order earlier this week. The lack of communication is shocking! I have still not got the refund that was promised. I don't know of any other company that takes this long. If I do not get my money back by the end of today, I will be doing the same and contacting trading Standards. They can also expect another bad review on here. Shoddy, indeed.

A comment from Venture Furniture:
Firstly the order did take too long to come in from the manufacturer due to delays in production. We continually chase the orders going through production. Not an excuse but the reason for delay. The order sat in the delivery team warehouse as the customer was not available to take delivery. We had to pay an extra premium for a timed delivery and the delivery company we use could not make contact with the customer after continual attempts to contact.
The damaged piece has been refunded but not returned to us yet or any proof provided to us. The other 2 pieces have been retained by the customer.
The damage has occurred either in transit or in the factory which happens from time to time but as any other company we replace and exchange.
We are trying to improve all our systems and 25-30 orders a week go out from this factory and the lead times have been reduced.
We are very keen to please every customer but sometimes it does go wrong which we try to learn from for the future.
