Frustrating, dishonest customer service
I am so frustrated with this company. Ordered two chests of drawers back in February. They were in stock, so was told to expect them within 10 days. Three weeks later, they arrived...I didn't complain to Brosa or the couriers as I know getting freight across the country is difficult right now. Now the fun starts. I open one of the boxes only to find that the first set of drawers is damaged, despite the mountain of padding and protective material inside the box presumably there to protect it. I contact Brosa via online chat, send them photos, th...
Read moreey are really lovely, and say they are sorry and will organise collection and a refund. They say the courier company will contact me within 3 business days. This was over three weeks ago. Despite 6 calls to them, the operators in the call centre in the Philippines I get put through to all say the same thing, that "we have raised an return order, the couriers will contact you shortly". I have spoken to the same man, [Name Removed], on online chat 4 times who is well aware of my drama and has kindly offered to personally sort things for me. Said it would all be resolved within a week (which was too long for me but I agreed) That was a week ago. So today I rang them first up to be told that the couriers would ring me today. At the end of the day I take matters into my own hands and contact the couriers they keep blaming. Turns out this company know nothing about my order? Brosa lied/gave incorrect information on seven occasions that an order had been sent to the courier for pick up. The courier company admitted that they do have a lot of trouble with Brosa customers for the same reason. Meanwhile, I have 4 massive boxes blocking my hallway and I am not "allowed" to order a courier myself. I am not hopeful for my $3000 refund, when I finally do have my items collected and shipped back, to be honest. But they will certainly be hearing from Consumer Affairs if I don't.- Product Quality

Worst policy, and service
I ordered two armchairs online for my business, as well as delivery and assembling. They arrived, however the colour of the fabric appeared different to that on the website. I contacted the company and was advised the return was possible but I would incur a delivery fee, which I totally understood (although a little disappointed as the product appeared different). I submitted the online return form and after hearing nothing I followed them up online, only to now be advised that they would be charing at 20% repackaging fee and delivery. The onli...
Read morene chat took almost an hour, the person at the other end had absolutely no empathy, and despite telling her that I was advised the week before only of the delivery fee it seems to fall on deaf ears. The cost to return the is 40% of the total item. I will NEVER purchase from this company and I will go out of my way to tell my family and friends what a terrible experience I had. Such a shame to write such a review, I have never written such a review, however feel the need to warn others of the costs associated with a return.- Incentivised Review No

Absolutely disgraceful CX
Ordered 2 beds from Brosa.
Called ahead to ensure all items were included in the delivery.
Received half of our order and have been hitting brick walls getting a refund or delivery of the other half we have paid for.
Given the run around for over a week with no help and told there’s only one person who deals with it who “we can’t talk to”
Wouldn’t recommend buying ANYTHING from Brosa.

I waited 4 months for the Como chaise...
I purchased the Como chaise November 20th 2021 with the website advertising it would come before christmas, and it did - but I received two right side chaises, instead of a sofa+chaise. I contacted Brosa, they said there is no stock left and next available delivery is in MARCH!
If I had known I had to wait 4 MONTHS for a proper couch I would have bought a couch somewhere else, knowing I was hosting Christmas and a house warming!
Despite it being their error, they were unable to rectify the situation in a timely manner or provide compe...

Update: I've assembled the new sofa and because the chaise is 4 months old, the couch looks like two different colours... Sigh.- Shipping

The WORST customer service i've ever dealt with
Horrible service. Called on the 25th of Feb to request a change in delivery date (originally to be delivered on the 26th of Feb) only to be advised that I will get a call back the next morning to get arrange another delivery date. No call was returned and the delivery people ended up coming on the 26th while I wasn't home. Delivery person advised me to call during business hours to rearrange another date.
This is where my nightmare starts. On the 28th of Feb I have attempted to get in contact to arrange another date (which i'm sure is a SIMPL...
Read moreE task) but instead i was placed on hold for long periods of time or being transferred to different team members more than 5 times to be told different information as to my whereabouts on the couch : I was told on the line: - "The couch is arriving right now as we speak! it's being delivered right now!" or - I have supposedly called for it to be booked in on Wednesday (which is not true and did not receive any email or text confirmation about this even if i did) - Or I even had one team member that simply hung up on me as we were discussing the situation. I was later told that the couch would be delivered according to the date I have requested (5th of March). They sent me a text of the wrong date and requested to be sent another text of the correct date. Also spoke with [Name Removed] who also wrote a confirmation email about the delivery date. I have also called everyday for the past week to confirm that this date was the same on their end. However I did not receive a text message of the time window that my couch will arrive. So I called up to check and was told (again) that they will call me back with more details. Alas, no one called back and i had to chase it up. I have called the morning of the expected delivery date and was told that NO ONE HAS SCHEDULED the couch to be delivered. The fact that I have chased this up multiple times - no one called me to follow this up is simply ridiculous. Not only this service was extremely unprofessional but they wasting not only my time their delivery peoples time. Also this brand has claimed to be "Melbourne based" but everyone I have dealt with aren't from Australia as they informed me all their workers are off-shore? very shady and misleading. I have filed a complaint to Fair Trade and will advise that this review will help others realise to not deal with this company. I've never had to deal with such appalling customer service.- Shipping

Hi Jenny, it seems there was quite a bit of miscommunication and we are so sorry for the trouble this has caused you! Please know we really value your time. We will investigate internally to avoid issues like this in the future.
I think the term "quite a bit" doesn't describe the amount of stress that was imposed for such a simple order/request. I really do hope that you actually look into these recurring issues - it seems it...

Delivery of Damaged Entertainment Unit
DO NOT BUY furniture from BROSA!
We ordered a Josie large entertainment Unit. We ordered it November of 2021 and waited till March of 2022 to actually receive it. We just got it in today and as you can see in the pictures there is an enormous crack in the bottom of the unit. There were also a number of superficial scratches and cracks. It was really difficult to get in touch with Brosa and they offered to replace the unit ( we would have to wait for two weeks or $100 cash back. As it would be impossible for us to take leave on yet another day ...
Read moreto stay home for this delivery we had no choice but to reluctantly take the money. I had to ask if that is the best they can do since it looked like they sent us a floor model they said they would add just $35 more. After having waited for so long to get the piece this is just a slap in the face. Also assembling it now we can see that the craftsmanship is pretty shoddy, and everything is just cheaply made. In fact some of the holes in the handle assembly are not even drilled. So UTTERLY disappointed as it came so highly recommended. If I could have given them NO stars I would have. Terrible product and terrible customer service.- Product Quality

Was delievererd an damaged bedhead.
Extremely disappointed from purchasing with this company. Waited 3 months for my bedhead to be delivered due to being on backorder. On arrival of delivery, the bedhead packaging was damaged, were I had a closer look to see that the back of my bedhead material was ripped,the staples exposed and the metal was bent back. It took over 2 weeks for Brosa to pick up my faulty
product where I requested it to be picked up before Christmas which meant I was not able for my refund until the item was Back in there warehouse.
Overall, a lack of communication. i had to instigate all the communication on my end.
Finally, received a refund after waiting longer than 4 weeks.
You have losted a customer in me.

Poor customer service
Having waited 10 to 12 week lead time, product arrived with faulty handle for a cabinet. Upon report and inspection, we were advised that there were no replacement handles in stock and had to wait to same lead time for replacement cabinet (this timeline didn't work for us). Requesting a refund at start of December, we were advised that it would be 7 days after collection of cabinet. After numerous phone calls and emails by us following up, we are still waiting for the refund. Unfortunately, can't recommend this company as the customer service is terrible.

Very poor customer service; poor quality products
Sales process was easy - purchased online
The Herts tv unit and matching buffet spent about $2000.
On arrival, the delivery people opened box to find poor quality unit with defects.
Doors had gaps, uneven. The finish was very poor. NOTHING as pictured, chips and patches of yellow washed stains in random placed.
I asked the delivery people to take back.
Filled in a return form and cancelled the buffet.
No response from them for days.
Their phone is set up where NO ONE answers the customer support - after a minute of being on hold it diver...

Wrong sofa delivered. Awful customer service and still no correct sofa!
We ordered two matching sofas and a lamp from Brosa which were listed as ‘quick 1-2 day dispatch’. They arrived 2 weeks later and when we opened them, one was the wrong colour. We called them immediately and sent this pictures. No response. I chased them on the phone and they eventually emailed back to say the incorrect sofa would be collected and once back at the warehouse a new one would be shipped. Since then, I have heard nothing and keep chasing them. Don’t buy from Brosa.

Damaged product, cant get hold of them, still waiting 4 days later for them to respond to me
Shocking customer service so far. Was very quick and efficient when I was buying! No surprise there.
But had a delivery last Wednesday of a coffee table that came with a crack through the centre of the whole thing. You cant contact them over the phone for this surprisingly (they only want to take your calls when ordering). So I followed the procedure online to get an automated email to say they will come back in 2 business days!! That is terrible but thought OK let's wait. Now I'm four working days in and still no contact.
There is no departmen...

Dont Waste Your Time Or Money
Terrible customer service! Would not recommend Brosa. I have sent multiple messages them to them with no response other than them resending me old emails from months ago absolutely nothing to do with my issue.
Quality of my bed is beyond poor base looks cheap and nasty and not solid or sturdy at all. Bed was advertised as bed frame instead has a base and separate bed head that doesn’t attach to the bed itself. After paying $1000 for a bed frame you would expect a quality product.
Nothing came with instructions.
Do not recommend! Still waiting on A response from them
