West Elm is one of the Williams Sonoma brands, so a case that stalls with the brand team can be escalated to customer care at the parent company. Furniture delivered damaged or missing parts? Start your complaint here and we help you write it up in minutes, with the order number, the delivery date and the damage set out the way a furniture claim needs.

Ask for a written delivery date rather than an estimate, and ask whether the item is in stock now or waiting on a container. Backorder dates that keep moving are the single most common furniture complaint, and each new date usually arrives without an explanation, so keep every confirmation email: the shifting timeline is your evidence.

You are not obliged to wait forever. Sellers in the US have to give you the choice to cancel for a refund when they cannot ship within the time they promised, so put your cancellation request in writing and set a date. Order stuck on backorder with the date moving? Take it through our complaint process and we push it out to West Elm and to Williams Sonoma by email, social media and printed letters.

Inspect the piece before the delivery crew leaves and write any damage on the delivery paperwork before you sign, even a scuff or a dented corner of the box. Photograph the item, the packaging and the label, and report it the same day with the order number and the item number, saying clearly whether you want a replacement, a repair or a refund.

Do not have the piece taken away or disposed of until the replacement is confirmed in writing, because a returned item and an unresolved claim are a bad combination.

Check the terms on your order confirmation first: return windows differ per category, delivery and return shipping costs on large furniture are often not refunded, and made to order, custom and final sale pieces usually cannot be returned at all. Cancelling before the item ships is far simpler than returning it afterwards, so act the moment you change your mind and confirm the cancellation in writing. If a refund was agreed and does not arrive, ask for the refund reference and the date it was issued, then put that in your complaint here: we open a case and keep coaching you on which reference to quote and when to push again.
