The most important lesson I learned in my furniture horror story with Marnie is to always research and review a business or store before making a purchase. In May, I brought almost 1300's worth of furniture and was told by Marnie it would take 2 weeks to a month. I thought it was oddly strange that the check I wrote her was literally cashed within 12 hours of giving it to her. Long story short, I waited a full six weeks before I walked in and asked her what was taking so long. There was always an excuse, her driver was sick, I wasn't home even though I never got a phone call indicating the delivery was at my house. Over and over, she would reassure me that it would be this date or that date and nothing ever happened. Several weeks went by, fed up, I walked into her store and literally freaked out. Marnie, in turn, stated I was a hysterical young lady who just liked to argue. She stated she would write me a check and send it to me via mail. Of course, this was unacceptable to me and I demanded the money up front. I was lucky in the sense that I have legal connections and used them. As a result, within a week, the money in cash, not check was returned to me. !300 dollars in cash? This woman is a con artist and smart. After all, cash means I have no proof of doing business with her. Thus, I couldn't sue her even if I wanted to. And I don't, since I got back my money. After reading all these upsetting reviews about months passing by without getting a refund is so appalling to me. Your hard earned money is sitting in a bank account accumulating interest for her! If you take her to court and win and how could you not win....she will be responsible to return all of the money you paid her including the pre and post interest. I plead with all of you not to give up. This store is on the consumer watch dog list which speaks for itself. You have every right to demand everyday and every second of what is rightfully yours. She has this great ability to cut you off but don't let her. Keep calling her, go into her store, and threaten legal action. I am wondering if anyone has ever called the police on her because this is so clearly a case of fraud over and over and over and she needs to be stopped. Good luck and don't give up.
