Customer service ignores complaints
I ordered a coffee table by telephone on 1/11/11. They offered a slight discount to order by phone rather than on the internet. When I received the -mail confirmation, I noticed that the wrong color table had been ordered. I immediately e-mailed the company about the problem. I called the next morning and spoke with an customer service rep who assured me that the mistake would be corrected. The next day I received an e-mail that the wrong item had been shipped. I called again, and was reassured that the shipment would be stopped and that the correct item would be shipped. The wrong item arrived on 1/17/11. We called the customer service representative on 1/18/11, and again were promised that the matter would be resolved. We are still waiting to hear from someone with authority to correct the mistake. All of our e-mails to the company are answered with responses saying they are working on the problem, and that we will hear back in one business day. So far multiple e-mails and phone calls have gotten no response. We have had wonderful customer response from overstock.com, and expected the same from mercantilla. If I had read the previous reviews, I would never have ordered from this company.

Warranty is Deceptive; No Returns on Mattresses
I ordered a Wolf Latex plush Futon Mattress, and it claimed to have a foam core and the picture and description showed it and stated it. However, when I received the product, it was under-stuffed with cotton or fiber and did not have any visible foam in the mattress, which cost me ~$320 on my credit card. After further inspection, I did find some foam in the mattress, but it is thin and not prominent like shown on the website. The mattress, after only two weeks, has flattened and hurt my back as well as my wife's. Once I inspected the product and made the discovery that the product I received did not conform to the product described on their website, I spoke to a customer service agent. The result was the company would not refund my money to-date. Supposedly, they have a 30 day money back guarantee, but their policy is not to allow returns on mattresses. I wish I had known that up-front, but the writing was hidden through various links. I felt totally ripped off! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY BUYING THROUGH MERCANTILA.COM . Even if you have to pay more money, go through a more reputable web merchant, you might pay a bit more, but you'll get what you ordered and have less of a headache. This company has a C+ rating with the BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU with 971 complaints, last time I checked. Additionally, I created a negative product review and tried to post-it, but apparently, they are only posting up positive reviews on their site for this product. SO, BEWARE.

They are giving me the run around
I canceled an order and was promised a refund in 2 to 6 days, well that's past. I called 3 times and each time they had an excuse. Sounds like they are giving me the run around.

Hard to get through to a billing department
I placed an order for a table costing me over $500. I never heard regarding shipping. I called 3 different times. Finally they told me it wasn't in stock and they would refund my money. To this day, it has not been refunded. Luckily I put it on my Amex. Amex will take care of it for me. Bad customer service. Hard to get through to a billing department. Very disappointed. Won't order from them again.

I wish the experience with Mercantila was positive
I wish the experience with Mercantila was postive. I placed an order for 2 sets of Full over Full Bunk beds. I explained to Mercantila phone rep I MUST have delivery by Oct 15th for a weekend hunting event. I asked for FEDEX, the Mercantila phone rep told me the only delivery option for these itmes was a trucking line. Because I questioned using a trucking line for expedited delivery, the phone rep called the warehouse before I placed the order to ensure they could deliver by Oct 15. I was told the latest delivery date would be Oct 14th. On Oct 14th, I rec'd an email stating "Good news, the order from Mercantila had shipped, " and I could expect to receive it in "2-9 days." This was NOT "good news."

Since Mercantila prefers customer contact via emails, I sent 2 emails to my phone rep. No response. I finally called to find out why the order was shipping 10 days after the order was placed, no one had an answer. I am extremely disappointed. Since I don't have the order yet, I can only hope everything will arrive in order.

FYI - On the same day, Oct 5, I also ordered 3 sets of Twin size bunk beds from Wal-mart and everything was delivered by FEDEX as promised.

Stay away from this one
Placed order on December 30th. One week later and after several e-mails and phone calls, I still do not have any shipping/tracking information. They charged my credit card the very same day the order was placed. Their customer service department seems to be based offshore, probably India or Pakistan. Stay away from this company. They have a great web site, very nice and professional looking. I purchased an inversion table from one of their daughter companies, http://www.inversion-table-direct.com. I am disputing the charges with the credit card company. They operate several other companies, all going back to mercantila.com, beware, stay away from this one.

Do not do business with this company, they are a huge rip off
I order a trampoline from one company. The order was placed with Mercantila. It was ordered on the 5th of June. Delivery date was the 17th of July, 5 weeks yet they took the money out of the account immeditaely.Tried for 2 days to cancel the order. There web page where they send you will not work and you cannot reach them on the phone. After 2 days of being on hold for over an hour I was told that I could cancel and it would take 3 to 4 business days to put the money back in my account which was taken out weeks before the product shipped. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with this company they are a huge rip off!!!

Received damaged goods, promised a $335 credit, never got it
Received damasged goods. Promised a $335 credit. Never got it. On phone waitng more than 30 minutes each time. Do not bother ordering anything with this company. Goods look fine but customer service is the worst. They need to be banned from web ordering.

We had the worst experience trying to order a kid's bed from mercantila
We had the worst experience trying to order a kid's bed from mercantila. Horrible customer service. We constantly had to phone them to track our order that was three weeks later after our two year old's birthday. When it finally came they botched the delivery and only sent half the bed. They then made us pick up the delivery charge which was over $100. We ended up spending $131 on a bed we never received. Multiple follow ups to customer service have been ignored.

DO NOT ORDER FROM MERCANTILA! We will go back to Amazon for all of our online shopping.

I will never do business with these people again
DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY I tried to buy equipment from this company. I placed an order for over $3, 000.00. I was told it would be shipped in 7-10 days. No problem right? Wrong. I was told after 10 days that they can no longer get this product and I could have a refund of my money. It has been 37 days and I still do not have my money. This is the worst company I have ever seen. I will never do business with these people again!!!
