Dear Özge Kurdoglu,
We strongly disagree with your version of events.
The information regarding production and delivery was communicated to us by the manufacturer and its representatives and was passed on to you in good faith. The fact that this information later proved to be incorrect does not mean that anyone at our company was "lying". We were relying on the same information and were equally frustrated to discover that the actual production status differed from what had repeatedly been communicated to us.
It is also important to note that during our correspondence you explicitly stated that cancellation and a full refund would be required if the requested solutions could not be achieved. When it became clear that these conditions could indeed not be met, we proceeded accordingly.
Unfortunately, the correspondence subsequently escalated beyond the delivery issue itself and included serious allegations, including accusations of discriminatory conduct. We categorically reject those allegations. Such accusations were unsupported by any facts and significantly undermined the basis for a constructive working relationship.
At the same time, you demanded that we provide a brand-new temporary replacement bed with identical specifications within two days, including delivery, installation and external lifting equipment where required.
This demand was made on a Saturday, while the temporary bed was required to be delivered no later than the following Monday. Fulfilling such a request would have required immediate availability of a suitable replacement bed, transport planning, installation scheduling and, if necessary, external lifting equipment, all within a single weekend while suppliers, transport partners and other service providers were largely unavailable. We had offered a replacement which would have been a showroom model, sized at 180x210 (instead of the ordered 180x200) but you did not agree to this.
When we explained that this was simply not a realistic or achievable solution under those circumstances, this unfortunately led to further escalation, accusations and demands rather than a constructive discussion about alternative solutions.
When it became clear that no reliable delivery date could be provided and that no realistic interim solution would satisfy the conditions being demanded, we concluded that continuing the order would only create further uncertainty for all parties involved. The order was therefore cancelled and your deposit was refunded in full immediately.
We therefore strongly reject the suggestion that we acted dishonestly, discriminatorily or in bad faith.
While we understand that you were disappointed by the delay and the subsequent cancellation of the order, this review does not accurately reflect the full course of events, the communications exchanged, your own request for cancellation should the proposed solutions prove impossible, or the fact that your deposit was refunded in full immediately following the cancellation.
Kind regards,
Beds & Bedding
UPDATE:
As the review has now been amended with additional allegations, we feel it is appropriate to address them directly.
The conflicting information regarding production and transport did not originate from Beds & Bedding. These updates were provided by the manufacturer and communicated to you in good faith. The core issue throughout this matter was that information repeatedly supplied to us by the manufacturer later proved to be incorrect.
Receiving incorrect information from a supplier is fundamentally different from intentionally misleading a customer. We therefore continue to reject the allegation that anyone at Beds & Bedding "lied". At no point did any member of our team knowingly provide false information.
For completeness, the order value was €6,289.15, not "€7k+", and your deposit was refunded in full immediately following cancellation.
Kind regards, Beds & Bedding
