Dear Montage Furniture Services,
I would like to thank you for completely changing my opinion of protection plans.

After submitting forms, pictures and numerous phone calls to your organization regarding what should have been a simple cleaning to remove a child's pee from two cushion covers, 2 months later, those covers have yet to be cleaned through MFS or its affiliates.

I had an appointment scheduled for Friday, May 25th, with Tri County Furniture Service, Inc. 888-400-3185.  At 4:00am on the 25th I was unexpectedly called in to work.  I did however remember my appointment so I left the two cushions in the enclosed entryway to my home's front door where an electrical outlet is available.

Later on the 25th I checked my voice mail and listened to a message left earlier that day from a technician of Tri County.  The technician stated that he was at my home but there was no place for him to plug in his cleaning equipment.  I immediately called the technician back on his cell phone and left a message saying that the outlet is behind the cushions.  In addition to trying to contact the technician, I've also left messages with Tri County.  I've never heard back from anyone.

This morning I put the two cushion covers in the washing machine on the delicate cycle and they are now drying outside on the lanai, clean and in perfect condition.  The next time I'm asked if I would like to add a protection plan to my purchase, I'll be sure to share this experience with the sales person and then politely say, "no thank you."

    I dunno, it sounds like he attempted to fix your issue but you weren't there. No one will perform work while someone isn't present because of liability issues. Seems to me montage did their job.

      I am having the same issues. This company is nothing but a SCAM. They take your money for the insurance policy on the furniture ($500) and then refuse to honor any of the claims!  Ashley Furniture SUCKS, too ~ I would never patronize either one ever again!!!

      Spoke to the CEO Alan and he knows the wording on the brochures are misleading and is done that way on purpose. Very pompous of him! Cracking and peeling of vinyl is not covered, yet not a single associate could interpret that at the store I made the purchase at. The brochure reads that it's covered and there aren't any asterisks or fine print to inidicate that it isn't.

    Hi Marc, I am the owner or Tri County. I reviewed your service call and found the following,

    TECH FOUND THAT THE CUSTOMER WAS NOT HOME WHEN HE ARRIVED. THE CUSTOMER LEFT 2 SEAT CUSHIONS IN THE DOORWAY BUT THERE WAS NO WAY OF CLEANING THEM BECAUSE THERE WAS NO POWER SOURCE FOR THE EXTRACTION MACHINE. TECH THEN CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER  AND NO ONE ANSWERED. TECH LEFT A MESSAGE. TECH WAITED 15 MIN AND THEN LEFT..

    You simply missed your appointment. All you would have had to do was contact Montage and they would have sent us back to clean them. They would have sent a work order right over. I also checked our phone system and found no calls to our office from you from your date of service until today. If you called the tech direct, I cannot track that. When a customer is not home for a confirmed appt, we try to contact them and unfortunately we only had a home number for you. Since you werent home we couldnt reach you. If the tech didnt see a power outlet, there is nothing he can do about that. Believe me, he would have rather made the cleaning money vs the customer not a home money..
    Our office number is 888-400-3185 if you would like to discuss this further. But in all honestly, we did our job and so did Montage.

      Montage furniture protection is take money and wave goodbye. They would rather have 5 fingers cut off before parting with a penny. Montage is French for "scam artist"

      Where as in my case I rushed home from work when the tech stated his ETA was 5 minutes, when i contacted TCFSI tech he told me he was 100 miles away and will not service it today. The technicians are rude, my research has let me know that they hire a lot of ex-convicts, I would not knowingly let people like that into my house

    So far, Montage has been "ok"; Tri County has been the problem!

    Back in March I had an appt scheduled for a repair on the 21st, the part finally came in, tech called, he had car trouble and would call to reschedule. No problem, things happen. He never called. I had to call Montage again on April 9th and was told a tech would call in 2 -3 days to schedule.

    I filed another with Montage on June 19, the part gets ordered, comes in 2 weeks. On July 19, Tri County finally calls to schedule installation for their next available date, July 31.

    Today is July 31; here I sit home waiting for my tech between 3 & 7 pm. The Tri County office called at 3:52pm to tell me they will not be here after all. Tri County has been to my home approximately four times for assorted claims, but today the tech goes to some other city with a slightly similar name and a different zip code. Not only will they not be here today, they want to reschedule for over one week away.

    I called Montage to voice my complaint; they will get back to me within 24 hours.

    This level of service is completely unacceptable. I will see how Montage and Tri County resolve this claim and the additional claims I have pending, they cannot keep the A+ BBB rating with this type of service.

    After reading , all the bad things posted about MFS i was worried after my bed frame cracked. Well after filling out the paper work everything was taken care of fast and to my satisfaction as far as tri county furniture services MFS you should lose them they are your problem Brian the owner is rude and a lier. As far as MFS shelly, lanet ( maybe mis speling her name ) they are a great asset to your companey they listened my concerns and knew the urgencey of a bed frame being repaired promptley my back was suffuring as well as my wife's back they contacted the. Retail store and made arrangements to have this taken care of ASAP. I am very happy with MFS. ,and all the staff im sure I am leaving some names out , so forgive me .

      Mr Greenburg, we ( Tri County) are the reason it was taken care of fast. You wanted US to come out and pick up your side rails all the way in Brooklyn and deliver to your home, as I explained to you, unfortunately we were not able to that at 7AM as your retail store is not open. I personally called Montage and set it up for them to contact your store and deliver the new the rails. This was explained to you when we talked. If we would have came out it would have been a waste of your time. As far as being rude, you just didnt want to hear anything I said. I never lied about anything. Thanks for trying to make us look bad, but we have thousands of consumers that love our service. Feel free to contact me anytime.
