  Merchant deceives the public with pictures of their product that look much better than what they actually provide. Materials in pictures look like solid wood, but are not. They are cheap and shoddily made plywood cases. Latches don't work. And they don't provide the hooks like they say they do. **************** is practically non-existent. They only have an email address. I have emailed them twice and have never received a reply. I would like my $249.95 refunded.

  As clearly displayed on our website, our products & customer photos and reviews are identical. We do NOT deceive anyone. We are very clear with our product listing and product descriptions. Including the quality material they are made with. Each time this customer emailed, he was answered within minutes by our customer service representatives, and we can provide screenshots if required to prove so from our automated system. As with any customer, we strive for customer satisfaction. If, for any reason, they are not happy, they may return the item in accordance with our return and refund policy to receive a full refund. This customer has not returned the merchandise. Therefore, we can not issue a refund. I am unaware of a business that issues refunds without the merchandise being returned. I also find it odd that this customer wishes to keep the product but wants a refund after he became upset over a political post we made on our social media business page. He made false inflammatory comments that ended up getting him banned as it is a violation of our terms of service. To simplify this, there is nothing we can do until the merchandise is returned to us. Have a great day, God Bless.

  Everything this seller just said is completely false.

  I never ONCE received any email back from this seller even after I emailed twice and contacted them on their ******** page twice.  I challenge them to send me screen shots of the emails they sent because I NEVER RECIEVED ANY!

  I have attached pictures from their website and also of the unit I received to compare.  It is incredibly apparent that the quality is NOT good and does NOT match their website.  It's made of cheap plywood that doesn't even fit together well.  I could even provide a small video clip to show how their lock/latch doesn't work if BBB's system would allow for it.  It's supposed to hold the cover closed until the magnet unlatches it, but I can pull it straight open without using anything.  AND, as you'll notice... NO HOOKS!  These were NEVER included as they said they were.  As you can also see from their website pictures, they show two mounting s**** locations.  But as you see on mine, there's only one centered one.  ONE FRIGGIN' S**** LOCATION!  And... no lights in mine like they show in the pictures.  Very deceiving!  

  I do NOT want to keep this piece of ****.  You can come and get it, if you want.  But you want me to pay more money to send it back.  I am NOT paying yet MORE money to mail it back to you without any guarantees that I'll get my money back.  Then, I'd be left with literally nothing for my money.  PLENTY of companies provide free return shipping.  Apparently, some companies want to scam people and not provide that, though.  Regardless, I do not want to keep this low quality box of plywood.  If you don't take it back, it will probably just get chopped up for kindling.  

  And as far as the social media posts, I complained on your ******** page... and you BLOCKED me.  But not until AFTER you mocked my compliant.  The gall.  Nothing I said was defamatory.  Everything I said was true. And I was saying it to warn people about your company and the product you produce so no one else gets duped into buying anything from you.  It's what a responsible person would do.  Warn others.

  I want my money back.  And you can come pick up the box.  Otherwise, I will continue to shout it from the mountaintops that the Farmhouse Store Company only produces low-quality c*** and no one should buy it!

  Thank you for your time.

  As previously stated, the customer has still failed to return the merchandise. He can continue to lie, and continue to keep the unit...until the unit is returned there is NOTHING we can do for him. It is his choice to not abide by our return and refund policy that he agreed to upon purchase. There is nothing I can do for this lieing liberal if he doesn't want to return the unit. As I've already stated his emails were answered within minutes, and he has had his unit for over a month before filing this complaint. Based upon his response he's obviously emotionally unstable over our political posts on social media..which initiated his actions...otherwise he would return the product for a refund like any other honest red blooded American. 

  Realistically, his issues are neither here nor there. He can return the item per our return policy or he can continue with this campaign of falsely smearing our company which have overwhelmingly positive product & customer service reviews. I'm not playing his games, I'm sticking to our clearly listed return and refund policy as any reputable company would do when dealing with this joke of a situation. God Bless

  Wow!  Getting political, huh?

  Well, for you information, I am about as conservative as they get.  If you even took one look at my ******** page, you could see that.  So, chew on that, bud.  I have never lied even ONCE in any of this. I never receive any emails from you.  And I was not upset about ANY political posts from your ******** page.  I couldn't care less.  I never said ANYTHING about politics.  You did.  And you put out a c*** product.  Just look at the pictures.  The box you sent me is not even close to what is advertised.  So, my comments on your social media were ONLY about that, a warning to others that you build c*** products.

  And no, I had the box literally a few days before I filed this complaint.  Sure, it was over a month since I ordered it.  But that's because it took you literally A MONTH to get the box to me.  And your customer service DID NOT EXIST!  In fact, if you even looked at my first complaint on your ******** page (the only way I could actually get ahold of you since you have NO customer service phone number, only an email address that was obviously NOT being answered), I asked when I was going to be receiving my box and that I had heard nothing from you guys since the initial order email.  You simply mocked me on there.  Real professional.

  I will NOT be spending any more money on sending this box back to you.  Your ridiculous policies requiring customers to lose even more money after they receive your c*** product and aren't happy with it are just ridiculous.  Everyone can see they're designed to fleece your customers and incentivizes your customers to just eat the loss and move one.  But I'm not going to.  Any positive reviews you have on your website are most likely from family and friends who got free stuff from you.  I will continue to decry your crappy products and advise everyone I can reach with my X social media to never purchase anything from your store.

  STOP LYING!!!

  Good day.

  The below information was also emailed to the customer today when she emailed, she did not respond. Screenshots have also been attached of the conversation initiated by the customer on June 25th. And her email that we again responded to today. Feel free to reach out to us for any further assistance or information.  Happy 4th of July!!!!

   

  Our response to the customer and to the ********************** complaint is as follows

  You emailed on June 25th and were informed of our approximated processing times and clearly listed procedures. You were also told that you would receive your automated tracking email later that week when it entered the aforementioned packaging process.

  
  

   Your automated tracking email was sent on June 27th, the 9th business day of processing, as it entered the packaging process. Our processing times are listed in business days not calendar days. It is mentioned several times on our website. boldly in the items description and again shipping information section. 

  
  

  In your first email on the 25th to customer service, you stated that you thought it said in 4 to 7 days(which isn't listed anywhere on our site) 

  
  

  Afterwards, in reply, we reiterated our processing times and procedures that are clearly listed on our website. You received your tracking information 2 days later per our standard operating procedures. We typically ship once a week, this is also listed on our website.

  
  

   Your order is slotted to depart on the next available weekly loadout after it was released from our shipping department. Which is the first week of July on Friday the 5th. You have also been informed that there will be an overflow loadout on Monday the 8th for orders that do not fit on the carrier's truck on Friday's loadout.

  
  

   Your order has been processed in accordance with our clearly listed processing times and procedures. You have also been updated promptly and professionally including when you emailed today on the 4th of July, while our facility is closed for the holiday and customer service works remotely to keep customers up to date if they happen to email.

  
  

  We do apologize if there was something overlooked, misunderstood or not detailed enough about our listed processing times and procedures. We try to list everything as clearly as possible on the website to prevent that.  If you have any suggestions that might improve what's listed on our website or our services we'd love to hear them. 

  
  

  We take great pride in crafting the products that we offer and greatly appreciate our customers. That's why there are so many customer submitted photos with their items on our website, and great reviews provided by them to the Better Business Bureau.

  
  

  Our shipping system isn't integrated with the shopify shop app, but directly with **** This is something else we list on our website in the shipping updates section. The shopify shop app can cause confusion in tracking and is an app offered by shopify separately to the consumer for marketing and data collection. Similar to ****** and *********** collection for marketing purposes.

  
  

   We're not a fan of big brother or data collection of any kind as it falls out of line with the Constitution. So we will never integrate our system with an app that does that. Hopefully you understand, given the nature of the products and services we offer to our customers. 

  
  

  Hopefully this answers any questions you may have had and alleviated any concerns you have as well. If not, feel free to email as I'm available anytime. Happy Independence Day again to you and yours.

  Good morning BBB, 

  Just following up here.  Please see attached screenshots from the Carrier and delivery photo provided by the carrier. The carrier has confirmed product delivery took place earlier this week and took a photo of the merchandise deliveredat their residence. My first response to this complaint stated it would be shipped & delivered per our processing & shipping procedures. We have not heard from the customer via email or on this platform since her initial complaint was submitted. Please close this complaint as resolved at your earliest convenience, God Bless!

  More info

  The order for an American Flag with gun concealment compartment was placed on 10/14/2023 for $294.97. The website shipping information says "once an order is placed on our website it can take APPROXIMATELY TEN business days to process and then ship out". I received an email on 10/26/2023 with the *** tracking number, and I received an email from Shopify telling me that **** had a scheduled delivery for my item on 11/1/2023 by 7:00pm. I did not receive any package on 11/1/2023, and I could not track the number provided in the *** or **** system, so I contacted their customer service email address. I was suspicious that this was a scam website, since they were providing false shipping information. When I contacted customer service, I got a long boiler plate email back the same day (you can see the response in the attached document), which stated that that if the truck was full, the next shipment would be on 11/3. I told them that I was being provided false information and it led me to believe their business was a scam. This must have really sent the customer service person and whoever was writing the emails to their PTSD place, because they sent me back 3 emails within 20 minutes asking me if I wanted to cancel my order with a 20% restocking fee, calling me names, and telling me how great their American made products are. Then, they cancelled my order telling me that it "sounds like your delicate little **** has been triggered." Finally, they responded again and told me that "We're going to send you your order free of charge since the full refund is already processing." So, I want the product I ordered and paid for. I never cancelled it, they did on their own and then told me they would ship the item for free. I have not received it as of 11/15/2023. I am filing this complaint to document the poor business practices, failure to fulfill my order and that this company seems to be a threat to the public.

  Your shipment

  Estimated delivery

  Today, November 15 by 7:00 P.M.

  Please see attached screenshot from ***** tracking website.  This persons order was shipped and departed our shop the week we said it would free of charge. It is currently out for delivery TODAY TO HIS HOME ADDRESS ...he has been provided his tracking information when it was scheduled by our shipping department as we clearly listed on our website. It departed our facility on 11/3. This guy was extremely rude to customer service berating and swearing because he was impatient and didn't care about our processing times that are clearly listed. We decided to cancel his order and refunded him in full at that time. We also told him that we would ship his item regardless just as a way to prove we behave much better then he did to a complete stranger in that situation and be the better person/company.  The fact that this guy is too lazy to even check his tracking beforehand when filing a complaint because his FREE item hasn't shown up in his lap yet should tell you something of his character...we have the right to cancel and refund an order if a customer is completely out of line with customer service as this guy was. Nevertheless his item shipped, after a full refund was issued and is currently out for delivery Today as previously mentioned. The *** tracking information has been provided to the BBB for verification.  We are an American owned and operated company. We cherish our customers unless they talk to customer service representatives in the childish manner he did. God Bless!!

  Please read how he was talking to customer service in the email thread he provided and you will see why we chose to cancel his order and issue a full refund. Which is all we are legally obligated to do. We decided to send him his order for free despite his behavior.  So he's welcome!! He gets to treat people like trash and get a free product, Because he didn't like our listed processing times, and that during this time of year everyone(businesses & person shippers) are shipping more which means all shipments will not always fit on the residential truck they send to every business in the area on the same day. If someone is rude they will get rudeness right back. I'm not going to apologize for issuing a full refund and sending a free product. It's infuriating that people like this guy act in this manner.

  Hey you whiny little s*** This is the Owner. I have responded to your BBB COMPLAINT ?????? YOU SHOULD HAVE CHECKED YOUR TRACKING NUMBER THAT WE HAVE SENT YOU BECAUSE ITS LITERALLY OUT FOR DELIVERY TODAY. PLEASE SEE ATTACHED. It departed our facility when we said it would after you were issued a full refund. I made sure to explain your **** poor behavior towards my customer service representatives in your previous emails and I sent the tracking information to them as well to prove you are wrong, a liar, and have **** poor character....and that we do 100%  what we say.

  Please see attached screenshot this is the email we got from this guy after we responded to the complaint and emailed him to let him know his free item is out for delivery today. His response proves he just wants to smear a business and nothing more except wanting one of us to kill ourselves.....which seams extreme please remove this complaint as it is leading to harassment and threats from a previous customer who has been fully refunded and their item shipped free of charge. Shipping information has been sent to you in this complaint as well.

  Complaint: 20873460
  
  I am rejecting this response because:  the complaint is about the manner in which this company conducts business, which resulted in hostile threats and harassing emails from the owner.  I paid for a product in full and simply asked for the company to verify the shipment, their customer service and owner went on a rant and cancelled my order with no sense of customer service whatsoever.  This is a pathetic display from a company selling items that display and represent the American Flag.  The public needs to know that this is what they can expect when dealing with Farmhouse Store LLC.  The complaint should remain posted for everyone to see and allow them to make their own decision on whether they want to do business with a company that resorts to name calling, hatred and threats.  BUYER BEWARE!!

  We have attached documentation that is persons order was fully refunded due to his behavior towards customer service and his threats. A product was sent free of charge which was also delivered to his home yesterday we have also provided documentation from *** including a photo of it sitting on by his front door also provided by ***. We proudly stand by the way we delt with this individual as he is trash for talking to customer service In the initial manor that he did. We can cancel an order and fully refund the order at our discretion. We do not have to deal in business with people who are rude like this person was. His motives were made clear in his email responses I attached below. The fact that this is even an ongoing complaint on the bbb site shows how ***** this person is and the bbb as well. Enjoy your free product sir and learn to treat customer service representatives and people with more respect in general. We don't get paid to deal with your attitude. I don't care if this complaint doesn't get resolved as there is no resolution needed. God Bless!!!!!!

  
  

   Our loadouts are on preloaded rollaway skids so we never know exactly how many or which order will fit.  But that's neither here nor there as I said it will ship on one of those loadouts. We hope you have a good day and treat others better then you treated my customer service representatives. God Bless.

  I don't want your POS product, it will go on the burn pile.  Why do you think I waited until today to file with the BBB?  I just wanted to let everyone in this great Country know that you have issues, the way you respond to customers, and that they should not do business with a company that has zero customer service, no honor, and no class whatsoever.  You're as dumb as a box of rocks, and you're the one that will get what you have coming.  You probably call yourself a ********** yet, you hide behind using the Lord's name after telling someone to eat ****.  You are a pathetic hypocrit, and a little minded boy that will go out of business soon and be another statistic that beats his family and puts a bullet in your own head because you can't deal with people holding you accountable.  God has a special place for people like you, it's called ****....enjoy it when you get there.  I will continue doing my part to make sure your classic written literature gets published on every social media site.

  More info

  In May 2022, I ordered an item in the amount of $275.00. After several weeks, I received a shipping notification that a label had been created. After about 2 weeks, I checked in via email to get a status update as my item had not yet shipped. I was sent a stock photo of a full loading dock, and assured my order would be picked up soon. The following week, I requested an update. I was told that the wrong order was loaded for me and a new shipping label needed to be created. After another week, I requested they either ship my item or refund my money. They did send me a refund, however after learning more about this company, they are formerly "***** ******* ****** *********." This same company was ordered to pay $1.2 Million in restitution for doing the exact same thing they did to me. This company does not/is not selling products, but they are taking your money and giving you excuses as to why you are not getting your purchased items. A scam 100%. My order number was **** and I have email communications to back up my claims.

  ** ****** placed his order Mid May for a small concealment flag as per our item description and per our shipping updates section processing can take up to 10 business days. *** ****** was sent his tracking information when his shipping labels were generated and we purchased them as is standard processing and also listed on our website. It is also clearly listed on our website that you will receive another automated email when it is picked up and scanned by the carrier. Upon final inspection of ** ******'s package staff became aware that larger more expensive rifle size concealment flag had been packaged which is not what ** ****** ordered and was a mistake that took place in our packaging process. ** ****** was made aware of the mistake and he didn't wish to wait for the correct item to be packaged and sent out the following week the correct item could not depart with that week's loadout as the smaller shipping boxes that product requires for packaging were on backorder and not due into our facility until the next week. Shipping supplies especially shipping boxes were a constant issue with keeping in stock since covid begain As also clearly listed on our website in the shipping updates section. *** ****** requested a full refund at the same time he was informed of the delay not weeks later and a full refund was issued in accordance with our policies. Since then, we have changed shipping supply providers which has alleviated major back order issues with shipping supplies. As far as ********** allegations of being ***** ******* ****** or scamming people those are obviously 100% false. I can see how if you were not kept informed or not received a refund or product upon request you might make such an assumption but he was kept informed and he was issued a full refund upon request as he didn't wish to wait. Now here we are 2.5 months later and he has filed a complaint because why exactly? He received a full refund upon request and he canceled his order..we conducted ourselves according to company policy as we do with any customer. If he is upset about a staff member having made a mistake while packaging and subsequent smaller shipping boxes being on backorder that was completely understandable and again he was issued a refund as he also stated in the above complaint. We cannot resove this complaint as there is nothing left to resove. ** ****** is a former customer who was dissatisfied and was fully reimbursed upon request. That's 100% our responsibility and we resolved this issue months ago with him along with our shipping supplies issue. Thank you for the opportunity to respond to a complaint I can resove no further. God Bless!
