Mattress Warehouse Of Turnpike No product after a month and no follow through by company Fairfax Virginia

I purchased a mattress set accompanied with a head board and foot board set on 1/6/08. My order was set for delivery on 1/9/08. I received a call on 1/8/08 stating that the bed would be delivered on 1/9/08 but without the accompanying head board/foot board set due to manufacturer backorder. I stated that I did not want to receive the mattress unless I would be receiving the headboard and foot board within the two week delay due to manufacturer backorder. I was told that I would receive this by 1/23/08 and thus I proceeded with mattress delivery.

The first problem was that I waited for delivery and then got a call saying they forgot to load it on the truck. I spent an entire day waiting and then had to take another day off for delivery. This was a small issue but the larger issue came when 2 weeks later I had received no call on the delivery of my headboard/foot board.

I tried calling the store the entire day of 1/24/08 with no answer. I then proceeded to call a different location and was told that they didn't know why I was not informed that they no longer deal with the manufacturer and would be unable to receive the product purchased. I was also told that my sales rep no longer worked for the company and that location had new management.

I contacted management on 1/25 and never received a call back. I waited until 1/27 and then went to the store to speak to the manager. The manager of the store told me the computer said the product was on back order and that he could not help me until Monday when he would be able to talk to customer service. I was told I would receive a call back on 1/28/08 from him but I could call customer service myself and try to resolve the issue.

I never heard back from management on 1/28 or 1/29. I called customer service on 1/30 and was told that the company no longer worked with the manufacturer and was told I would receive a call from District Management. I did receive a call from the Executive Director of District Management who told me they could offer me
a different product due to the manufacturer having the product on backorder.

I called the manufacturer 1/31 and was informed the product was not on backorder but that they were waiting for Mattress Warehouse to provide them with enough orders for a truck. This was the original case at the point of sale. Thus, I feel I was again deceived by Mattress Warehouse. However, this was at the Executive District and Corporate level. I left a voice mail message for district management and have not received a call back as yet. I have yet to decide whether I will take the substitute offered. I would not have purchased the mattress from them if the head board and foot board I selected was not carried by them.

I am confused as to how the actual manufacturer, corporate customer service and management at an alternative branch can say that they no longer work with the products manufacturer and yet district management and location management say it is on backorder. This has been the worst case of customer service I have ever experienced from any company-especially one that prides themselves in customer service.
