My recent purchase from The Brick was, without a doubt, the worst retail experience I have ever had. While the online ordering process was initially smooth and efficient, what followed was a cascade of unprofessionalism, suspected deceit, and chaotic service that has ensured I will never be a customer again.A few days after my online purchase, I received a call from a sales representative who informed me that my new fridge, originally scheduled for a 10-day delivery, would now be delayed by four weeks. He aggressively insisted that the only solution was for me to switch to a different brand he had available for immediate delivery. When I expressed my disappointment and stated that I preferred to wait for the model I had actually purchased, his tone became irritated and he gave me an ultimatum: either switch brands, wait a month, or have my order cancelled. He promised to email me his name and the details of the alternative models, but that email never came.Suspecting something was amiss, I called back two days later and spoke to a different employee who checked my file and confirmed there was absolutely no note of a delivery delay. The fridge was, in fact, on schedule. It seems clear the first representative was attempting to manipulate me into buying a different product, likely for his own commission, using false information and high-pressure tactics.The day of the delivery was just as chaotic. The delivery team initially refused to bring the fridge up to my apartment, incorrectly claiming my three-story building (plus a basement) was too high for their policy. After a pointless argument, they finally agreed. To make matters worse, the fridge arrived with minor cosmetic damage to the back, and the delivery crew did not even have the basic tools required to remove the protective packaging.From start to finish, this experience was despicable. I felt less like a valued customer and more like an inconvenience. The Brick needs to seriously re-evaluate its hiring practices and instill a code of ethics and respect in its employees. A company should not make you feel like they are doing you a favor by selling you their products. Based on this, I cannot in good conscience recommend The Brick to anyone.
