Theaterseatstore.com/Interiormark - Incredibly Frustrating

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 
All,

I wanted to detail my experience so far with theaterseatstore.com.


I received my order of 4 Pallliser Bullet chairs on 9/15/2011 (after a bit of a delay). They all arrived in excellent cosmetic condition. After setting them up I found two issues.

1. My main seat will not recline, they are all manual recline and the other 3 recline just fine but my lever is very difficult to pull and never releases the footrest.

2. One of the power supplies for the LED lighting buzzes when plugged in. Not a big deal, the lighting is only cool because its all hooked up to my URC remote and light controlled.

I contacted the vendor right away, I believe it was on the 19th of September. They said they will get me a new power supply and someone out to fix the chair.

Fast forward to today...They have sent me the wrong parts twice to fix the power supply, I even sent pictures to make sure they knew what to send and they still sent the wrong part.

I have not heard one word about getting my chair fixed until today, when I called in again to complain they all of a sudden had someone close that could come look. (Not holding my breath waiting for a call).

In between all of this I have contacted them numerous times via email and phone. I kept hearing parts are on backorder, trying to find a repair tech, etc...

I think what frustrates me the most is feeling like I failed in finding a vendor who will stand behind their product. I have two pretty simple issues to resolve and we are now 45 days out from my initial ticket on them. I feel that if anything else happens down the road it will be an absolute nightmare trying to get it resolved.

The chairs themselves are amazing and I love them, I am now also in contact with the VP of Sales for NA Palliser hoping to get some help with my issues.

I know everyone will have a different experience, I looked online and didn't see any complaints for this vendor, I am not saying don't shop there, but just wanted to get this out there as I personally think waiting this long is a bit too much.

hopefully the above happened and you are taken care of.


Considering Theaterseatstore.com's relationship to Best Buy I doubt they are a Mom and Pop outfit. It's time to elevate this up the food chain within the company or even to the BBB to get the attention of someone with the authority and desire to fix your situation.

I did receive a follow up call and the issue is being handled by another person. I have a new power supply and a new chair going out. I hope to update this thread after my issue is fully resolved.

Update - Received my shipment this AM. It's the wrong part, this time instead of sending a power supply which I discussed with them to make sure they knew what it was, they sent me a tray table.

I am really hoping there is another UPS next day package on the truck, but I doubt it.

sigh....

You may want to PM Damelon, he is waiting on a missing tray table, maybe he got your power supply. And then there is the issue of them sending one wrong chair in his order of seven.

Update

I received my new power supply today and I have a shipping number on a new seat. They are going to replace my seat that does not recline.

It is unfortunate that these events took place, but after getting a hold of the correct people I believe my issue is now going to be handled. Peter Goldstein was very helpful and if anyone has any issues they should ask for him.

I was also in contact with Palliser and they told me that theaterseatstore has been an excellent partner and my issue is not normal for them. Palliser was also very helpful.

I love my seats and with what has happened I would still recommend them.

While working at Berkline I found that the folks at Interiormark (Peter, Bruce, and Martin) are absolutely the best type of business people and 100% trustworthy. Whatever problems you expereienced are likely rare and they will definitely take care of it. There are some poor dealers on the web but Interiormark is definitely not one of them. I think you will find they are serious about providing good customer service.

I received my replacement chair on Saturday. Everything is now resolved. They went out of their way to make sure I was happy and I am. I think I just got stuck with a bad rep at first who didn't get things done, as soon as I got the manager things started happening.

Very pleased now.

Thanks for the kind words Randy. The feeling is mutual.
