Despite another difficult weekend in Abu Dhabi, Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali hasn't given up hope of coming second in the Constructors' Championship.
The Ferrari drivers finished in fifth and eighth places at Yas Marina, a pair of results that saw them fall to 11 points behind Mercedes in second place, with only two races left on the calendar.
Despite the poor result in Abu Dhabi, the Italian is refusing to be downhearted and believes that some positives could be drawn from the race to suggest a they can still challenge Mercedes in the US and Brazil, like Fernando Alonso's dogged defence under threat from Jean-Eric Vergne and Felipe Massa's pass on Lewis Hamilton.
"Considering our start positions, the outcome of this race is positive and we leave Abu Dhabi aware we have limited the damage," Domenicali affirmed.
"We knew we had a difficult weekend ahead of us and we paid the price for our results in qualifying.
"Despite that, I am pleased with the performances from Felipe and Fernando, because both of them managed to give it their all on a track that was hostile to us. Given the situation, we could have ended up further away from Mercedes in the constructors' classification and yet we managed to pull out a bit on Lotus and limit the points lost in the battle for second place.
"Now we must tackle the two final rounds of the season, the two of them in very different conditions and track types. Our motivation is still very high and, along with that, we will try and run the car as it stands, as well as we can."
In another interview with Sky Sports, Domenicali revealed that he is confident that the year's final two races will favour the F138 more.
"In terms of pure performance, we are as weak as the others are compared to Red Bull, who are in their own league, but I am confident we can do our race and take the points that are needed to come second," he said.
"Don't underestimate Lotus, of course, because they had a problem and only scored points with one car, but it should be an interesting couple of races.
"We know that we have a lack of traction and downforce in certain corners and we need to manage the set up of the car and not just improve it. We know we are paying a big price also with temperature, because, the more we go to hot conditions, the more our car is becoming inefficient. We are now moving to a situation where the conditions are more suitable for our car and that is why I said we still have everything to fight for."

LAKEWOOD, NEW JERSEY -- I am writing this letter as a warning to all prospective buyers, hoping my advice will save you from the headache my girlfriend and I have been dealing with since we went with Value City for a simple furniture order.
In early February I went to Value City to purchase a desk, dresser, and chest. As I walked through the doors I knew EXACTLY what I was looking for. When I was first approached by the salesman, I was ready with the make, model, and color of the furniture my girlfriend and I had searched for and finally found on the Value City website. The purchase was quick and easy for both myself AND the salesman, or so I thought. On the receipt there was a printed "estimated delivery date" which I was told by the salesman would be the scheduled date of delivery.
After taking off of work for the scheduled date, I was surprised to find that this was NOT the date the furniture would be coming and in fact they only delivered to our town on CERTAIN days of the week. This meant that I would have to take off yet again for the actual DELIVERY date. This date didn't come until several weeks later in mid January. Upon delivery my girlfriend greeted the men who were there to deliver the 3 pieces of furniture but stayed out of the way. After signing off on the delivery sheet she entered the bedroom to find that her first pieces of bedroom furniture in their new house WERE NOT the furniture pieces that they had ordered at all, and in addition to it being the wrong furniture the desk delivered was cracked! By this time, the men had already pulled out and were driving down the street leading to a bigger headache that is still taking place in mid May.
In a panic, my girlfriend called the store to tell them what had happened. They told her all they could do was schedule another day when THEY deliver to our town and have the furniture picked up then. The next date they had available was 2 weeks later and in the meantime we were supposed to keep the furniture in our house. The damaged desk would have to be photographed at different angles and then e-mailed to someone in the warehouse to see if it could be fixed BEFORE they would even think about replacing it. We were both extremely upset about how everything had been handled which led us to take a drive out to the store where the furniture had originally been purchased to see if something could be done.
Not only did we walk around aimlessly waiting to be helped but when we finally told the salesgirl what had happened the only help she offered up was a phone number of someone WE could call to see if something could be done with scheduling since the store had NOTHING to do with scheduling deliveries. Before leaving the store my girlfriend thought it would be smart to call, and good thing because the number given to us was incorrect! When asking AGAIN we were given another wrong number by the same salesgirl! It wasn't until WE FOUND the second Value City salesperson that we were given the correct number, who, after calling told us there was nothing they could do.
The only option we had was to wait for the warehouse to respond to our e-mail with the pictures we had taken and sent ourselves of the damaged desk. After a week they decided that the entire desk would have to be replaced and that we would receive a phone call when the new desk would be in. We finally got the call we had been waiting for the last week of March that the desk would arrive on Saturday March 31st! We were ecstatic, finally we would be able to get the house in order and put our office room together which we had been wanting to do since February! However, we were both shocked to find that we received 2 calls from Value City that Friday. One call was from the store that we had purchased the furniture confirming our Saturday delivery. Another call was from the warehouse stating that the delivery would be delayed yet again because our NEW desk that was supposed to be delivered was DAMAGED. Confused, I called the Value City store in Lakewood, NJ and explained the 2 telephone calls we had received. Not only did the girl who answered continue to tell me the desk was definitely coming the next day but it wasn't until she decided to "double check" that she found that it was in fact going to be delayed but she didn't know why.
This is still not the worst part of our experience with Value City in Lakewood, NJ. The second week of April, my girlfriend received a phone call that our other NEW desk was in, AGAIN! Not expecting much due to our previous let downs she tried to schedule a new delivery date with the woman on the phone. Since we both had already taken off work numerous times for Value City, we could not be home and wait for a delivery that may or may not happen due to the lack of communication between the store and warehouse. I began to tell her what we had been through with the company and mid sentence I was cut off by the woman on the phone who said, "Listen, we only deliver to your town on Saturday. The next Saturday delivery date we have is May 19, 2012." I processed this quietly to myself on the other end of the phone, feeling defeated and let down yet again but at a loss for what to do or say next. I responded by saying, "Well, I guess that is my only option." To this the woman quickly replied, "Yes, May 19th will be your delivery date- have a great day!"
It is now mid May and we are without a new desk. We are hopeful that it will come this Saturday but are bracing ourselves for the worst. I have never in my life experienced such poor customer service and lack of not only competence but unwillingness to help. We explored every option to seek assistance and or guidance after our terrible experience- visiting the store, trying to contact a manager (who never returned our calls), contacting the warehouse, and, trying to reach the corporate office. All of these outlets were unresponsive. The reason for this letter is to warn anyone who is thinking of purchasing anything from Value City.
My girlfriend and I both work in an industry where consumers are regarded with the utmost respect and for a company that stops at nothing to do what it takes to be sure our customers are satisfied. It is extremely disheartening to know that there will be Value City customers in the future who will have to endure the same unnecessary experience we have.
I strongly believe that in order to succeed in business there most be open communication, with a willingness to help along with a strong sense of urgency. Value City of Lakewood, NJ STRONGLY lacks all of these qualities. It is with great hope that this letter will force Value City to step back and re-evaluate how their store is run to help create a smoother process in the future. After all, in this tough economy people want to get to the most for their hard earned money, and we all should.

I don't understand how your g-friend didn't notice that the delivery driver was bringing in the wrong furniture? When he was setting it up in the room. how did she not notice?
CowboyFan on 05/14/2012:
I agree with Reneh2, when your girlfriend signed off on the delivery sheet, that indicated Acceptance of the furniture. All the problems since then, originated with her failure to observe that the furniture set up was not the furniture ordered. If she had said something then, the delivery company could have taken it back that day, and you would receive the right product within a few weeks.
The other solution would be to see if you could take the furniture back to the warehouse yourself, in order to expedite getting the right furniture--and pick up the correct furniture at that time. Sometimes, it is easier to do things yourself, then rely on the delivery companies.

When we had furniture delivered (different Co) I noticed a scratch on the table as soon as the delivery guys bought it in. They took it right back and bought me a new one the same day.

Abhorrent Customer Service and Damaged Products
Posted by
LEXINGTON, KENTUCKY -- I bought over $3,000 worth of furniture from their store, and I have received nothing but the absolute worst service every single time I have an order.
Several of my pieces came in damaged and had to be replaced. One of them had to be repaired, however I was told very rudely by a customer service agent that they could not accommodate my schedule and if I wanted my furniture to be repaired I was going to have to accommodate them. The manager Jimmy called me and was very nice in setting up an alternate time for the repair man to come out so that I would be able to be there when he arrived. Unfortunately, the rest of the department must not have been informed, because I got a call saying the repair person was going to come at a time that was not the one Jimmy had told me he would be able to.
Next, I had a problem with the couch. I had to go through 3 different couches because each other one they gave me was damaged in some way. I went through 2 different lamps as well because of the same problem.
And now we come to today. About a month ago, I picked out a TV stand from their store to add to my order. It was ordered in Cleveland, and they said it would take awhile for it to be delivered because it was out of stock. We planned to have it delivered on August 28th, this Saturday, because I work a 9 to 5 job and cannot be home for delivery during the week. I was called by the store on Wednesday, which also happened to be my birthday, for a very rude awakening. The store left me a message saying that the TV stand was ready to be delivered the next day, Thursday, and wanted me to confirm that I would be home. I called the store back asking why the date had been changed from Saturday. Layla informed me that they could change it back so it would be delivered this Saturday like it was originally supposed to.
I hadn't heard from the store about a delivery window so I called them back this morning. Brittany informed me my TV stand was scheduled to deliver on Saturday September 4th, like I had requested and they had informed me. I had never requested that, and that was the first I had heard of the September date. I was then shuffled around from Brittany, to "I'll have the manager call you back," to Layla (who informed me if that it would do no good if I spoke to the manager, and if I wanted to I would have to wait for a very long time). Layla informed me she was the service manager and in fact she had told me yesterday that it would be delivered on September the 4th, which was a lie. She then called me a liar and informed me that no one there was going to want to help me if I kept calling and changing the date on them. This struck me as particularly ironic, since Value City is the one that has been CONSISTENTLY changing the delivery date on me, not informing me until last minute, and then blaming it on me.
A third call, from my mother, finally got to the manager. Apparently Value City did not think that I was old enough or rich enough to get the manager at all. It takes someone with money in their pocket or life experience to even allow you to speak to the manager in the first place. Mike informed my mother that the TV stand was actually not even in stock yet. This was a bit confusing to hear, considering that they had initially told me they were going to deliver it on Thursday. I guess they must have gotten frustrated with my request to change the date and decided to give my furniture, which I have been waiting for over a month, to someone else. I didn't realize that you could only get your furniture if it was convenient for the store to deliver on that day, and if it wasn't- you would lose your furniture and maybe not get it back for weeks. Mike promised us that it will now be delivered on the 4th, but his promise was a little bit empty given the previous promises Value City has made me about my delivery dates as well as his "it will probably be in by then" guarantee. I'll be holding my breath, because I doubt it will even be there then. I'll probably only get that one if no one else has a delivery date that is earlier and needs it.
Due to their lack of communication and incredibly poor service, you get shuffled around, because it's easier to shuffle you from person to person than to actually help you. The only way you can get anything straightened out is to spend hours and hours screaming to them on the phone. Otherwise they don't really care about you. The cheap prices are great, but you really get what you pay for there- broken products (I'm worried to see how long they will last) and abhorrent customer service.
I will never be purchasing from Value City Furniture again, and I suggest that you do the same. I was initially very excited to see the low prices and type of furniture in the store. However, the appalling way the customer service agents have treated me and the shockingly terrible service I have received from them has proved to me that I will never buy from your store again. Despite how much I enjoy the other pieces I bought from the store, I wish that I could take all of it back because I wish that I had never given them a cent of my money. They don't deserve it. Spread the word that Value City is terrible, because maybe then they will be motivated to treat their customers better.

FabricGuard is a Rip Off
Posted by
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA -- On January 21st, 2005 I purchased a sofa & loveseat combo, as well as a matching side chair, two end tables, and a coffee table. I was also sold Fabric Protection for an additional $99. on the combo, and $9.99 for the side chair. This brought my total purchases with Value City Furniture to $2,978. I was told by my sales person, Billy Manning that the Fabric Protection was like Scotch Guard and would protect my furniture from rips, cuts, tears, and other damage, as well as repel water. He also informed me this would include a 7 year warranty, in addition to the Limited Lifetime Warranty that came with my selection.
On January 26th, 2005 Value City Furniture delivered all of my furniture with the exeception of the side chair, which was not in stock. Upon arrival my room mate realized that the delivery team was unwrapping the furniture on the truck, before bringing it into the house. After the delivery team left we sprinkled water onto the sofa to see if it repealed like it was supposed to. To our surprise it did not. We immediently assumed they had forgotten to treat our furniture.
On January 27th I contacted Value City Furniture with my concerns and the operator informed me that it didn't seem right that my furniture was not repeling what and that I needed to call back the next day to speak with Paula the Service Manager. On January 28th I contacted Value City Furniture to speak with Paula around 4pm and was told she was gone for the day, I would need to call back for a third time to speak with Paula on Monday. On Monday I contacted Value City Furniture again, and explained my concern to Paula, she acted surprised that it didnât bead up, saying âso it didânt bead up at all?â. She then informed me she would send someone out to treat it on Tuesday February 1st.
On Tuesday a gentleman came to my house with a spray bottle and misted my furniture, applying less liquid to the furniture then you would when applying Fa-breeze. Of course I contacted Paula again on Wednesday to inform her that the job was not completed well, and that the water still absorbed right into the fabric. To my surprise this time she said, oh, it shouldnât bead up, it is going to soak into the fabric, it just wonât stain, and if it does you can call us and we will fix it for you. I immedently informed her that this was NOT what I was told when I was sold the product, and was why I called her on the previous Monday, and why, I thought, she had sent someone to re-treat my furniture. She said I was misinformed and she apologized for that. I asked her how it would protect from a stain if it clearly absorbs, to which she had no answer. I asked what the difference was between the my Limited Lifetime Warranty and the 7 year Warranty offered with the American Signature Brand. To my surprise she said I had no lifetime warranty, that everything they sold in the store only had a 1 year warranty. I informed her I have a card that was attached to my furniture that said it had one. She then placed me on hold to check for herself. While on hold, the hold advertisement was for American Signature, and clearly stated a Limited Lifetime Warranty. After holding for a few minutes I was informed Paula was speaking with the manager and would be right back. Paula then came back to the line, apologized, and said I was correct, it did have a warranty. At this point I was upset that no one knew what was going on and asked to have the Fabric Protection cancelled and refunded, she informed me I would have to speak with the Store Manager, Cathy, and that she wouldnât be in until Thursday, even though I was just told that there was a manager there that she was speaking with.
After speaking with Paula, and being informed I had to call back Thursday for Cathy I called the Pineville location to ask them for a description of Fabric Protection and the Limited Lifetime Warranty. The sales person I spoke with there informed me that the Fabric Protection was just like Scotch Guard, and would, âbead up like water on a waxed carâ.
I was now going to wait and call Cathy the next day, but then I spoke to my best-friend, whoâs uncle worked at a Charlotte Value City for years told her that at the time he worked there, it was his storeâs policy to never spray furniture, even if a customer had purchased the Fabric Protection, saying that they figuring that few people contact them with stains, rips, tears or burns that would be covered under the warranty after all the exclusions that they would save money by not spraying the furniture and just replacing or fixing the furniture that meet the warranty criteria.
At this point I was so upset that I had been told so many different stories I had my room mate contact the Value City Corporate Offices. There we were informed that the Fabric Protection plan wouldnât even cover our furniture because we had fabric, not leather, and that even then it only covered seem rips, not cuts, etc. She also said that the American Signature had only a 1 year warranty and that she had never heard of the Limited Lifetime Warranty, even though I later found out American Signature is owned by Value City Furniture. She then informed my roommate that she would have the store manager contact me as soon as possible to go over this issue with me.
Cathy called from the store less than 1 hour later, even though I was told she was not there and wouldnât be in until the next day. Cathy told me a different story than the corporate office did. She informed that the Fabric Protection plan WOULD cover my furniture, and she assured me it had been treated in the store. She was confused about the warranty, that I did have a Limited Lifetime Warranty, but said that unless I purchased the Fabric Protection plan, if something happened to my frame and I did have a stain on the couch it voided all warranties! She said she would send someone out to re-treat my furniture again, but it wouldnât do any good, that it was already treated, so I told her that was OK, but I would like to know if I could get some sort of discount or refund on the Fabric Protection plan. She informed me if she gave me any discounts that the warranty would be voided, that I can keep the warranty and pay the $110. or cancel the warranty and get my refund, even though I was misled and everyone continues to tell me something different.

hardroc on 09/29/2005:
Do you really think there is a treatment for fabrics to prevent rips and cuts?? No,,there is not. Fabric protection merely helps to prevent stains from setting, and makes it easier to clean the stain out. Using a spray bottle to apply this is the best way to apply it. This atomizes the protectant into a mist and it goes on more evenly. It then soaks into the fabric helping to seal the very small fibers in the weave of the fabric, preventing stains from setting in so deep. Thus,,making it easier to clean. Depending on the fabric,,water does not always bead up after an apllication. Sometimes it does.How do you add a 7 year warranty to a lifetime warranty?
Always listen to see if what the salesperson is saying sounds to good to be true. Or if it makes sense at all. I would have never purchased a thing from that store until I had been told something a lot more believeable.
mj on 06/02/2013:
It's such a shame that you had such a terrible experience with them. We bought our sofa in May of 2012 with the fabric protection with was an additional $75. 2 months latter we had stains and called uniters (that's who the warranty is through) It was handled quickly and very professionally. They even replaced the cover on the cushion since the ink didn't come out. We just placed another service request with them today and are hopeful for another great customer service experience. I guess my advice would be to contact the company that provides the warranty not VCF.

Value City Furniture Warranty Fraud / Scam
Posted by
Eastgate Michael
CINCINNATI, OH -- Value City Furniture
Store # 80
650 Eastgate Dr. S Suite A
Cincinnati, OH 45245
I purchased a kitchen table and chair set from the Value City Store next to Dick's Sporting Goods in the Eastgate shopping center. While I was checking out with my items, the sales representative suggested that I should purchase the extended warranty. He stated, "Seeing that you have children, you will want this warranty. It covers any damage they may do and protects your furniture up to three years. You can rest assured that you will have new furniture in three years." I purchased the warranty for the extra $69.99 for the table and an additional $69.99 for the chairs. I left the store with the confidence that my $1000 plus purchase was protected.
Nine months later, we had a Christmas party for our daughters and several of their friends from our neighborhood attended. We let the girls make crafts, color and draw pictures on the table in our kitchen. After the party we noticed that the table had been damaged by some of the crafting we had allowed the girls to do. Some of the notable damage included, words had transfer through the paper the girls were writing on and had gone through the polyurethane coating into the wood below, a long scratch and some paint drops on the finish. The girls ranged in age from seven years old to twelve years old. These girls are not heavy handed men with a degree in construction, they are simply children.
I contacted Value City Furniture at the Eastgate location and was informed that they do not handle the warranty claims. They gave me the phone number for the Sharonville store and instructed me to file my claim with them. I called the store and they took down my information. They informed me they would send someone out to inspect the damage and to determine if they would repair it or replace it. I received a phone call and was given a date and time the inspector would be out. The inspector arrived to inspect the table and continually commented on the condition of the table and chair set, argued that the chairs didn't belong to the set, although they were the chairs from my receipt, and was otherwise very rude and obnoxious.
A week after the inspector came out I received a phone call from Value City they stated that they had decided not to honor the warranty as the damage was to "extreme" and violated the terms of the warranty. When I purchased the warranty I was given a pamphlet stating what would be covered and how to file a claim. Value City claims that the pamphlet is not the legal document containing the specifics of the warranty and that the actual warranty documentation, which was not furnished to me, contained stipulations pertaining to excessive damage. I asked to speak to the manager, who informed me that this claim would be returned to the Eastgate store and that they had the option of honoring the claim. I called the Eastgate store several days later and they gave me the same exact response I received from the Sharonville store. I asked that they at least review the claim and consider that I have spent several thousand dollars at their store over the past few years. I was passed to a manager who informed me they would not reconsider this claim and were cancelling the warranty on all of the furniture citing excessive damage.
-Value City Furniture has subsequently replaced the table and honored their warranty.

Warranties just seem to be a complete waste these days. No one wants to honor them after they get your money.
You should have been give a copy of the official warranty at the time of purchase, and not just a pamphlet. I can understand why you thought the pamphlet was enough. I think this is very deceptive.
P.S. I love the way the inspector tried to make it look like you were dishonest about the chairs. That was your first clue that they had no intention of honoring the warranty.
Inat on 02/04/2011:
not all warranties are a waste - I had my entire house recarpeted by stainmaster warranty b/c of a coffee stain that could not be removed :)I really think it comes down to a case-by-case scenario - I think that if my carpet was completely WRECKED they may have used an "Excessive damage" clause. I know value city and to be honest, my first thought would be that their warranty is a scam :)

Poor Customer Service
Posted by
HARRISBURG, PENNSYLVANIA -- July 2008
Last week my husband and I purchased a desk, hutch and desk return set from Value City Furniture Store. Unfortunately, we did not read reviews of this company or we may not have gotten into this mess. We were very happy to find the kind of desk we were looking for that was actually a quality piece, made from solid wood and contemporary, yet classic in style. We had searched many furniture stores and knew we would have to pay a bit more for what we were looking for. We found similar pieces at very high-end stores, but could not quite swing those costs and they weren't exactly what we were looking for.
My husband works in Harrisburg and went in to purchase this desk set. Of course, no one was "available" to help him so he sought out a young, not-so-professional sales associate. This young man put the sale through and at first told my husband that they do deliver to our location. Then found out that we are not in their delivery area. They deliver to a town 4 miles from our home, but not our address. So my husband asked to speak to the manager to see if he could work something out. The manager was rude and refused to budge saying, "I have to draw the line somewhere." Even after my husband offered to pay a fuel surcharge for the extra 4 miles, he was still turned down. We still decided to purchase the desk set and just rent a Uhaul (as we do not own a van or truck) to pick up the furniture ourselves.
When my husband went to pick it up, he saw that the furniture was still boxed but looked like it had been opened (Earlier he had been told that the furniture would be inspected to make sure there was no damage). He asked and they said it was fine and packed so well, so there shouldn't be any trouble. He brought it home and we labored to bring it into our house. As we unpacked it we saw that the hutch and return were both damaged. The wood had been crushed and split in the corner of the hutch and the same on the return. My husband made multiple phone calls asking again to have VCF come to our home and replace the furniture. Instead he was offered a $50 discount. He even called their corporate headquarters to have the same result.
I realized that VCF doesn't deliver to our area and I'm fine with that policy. I can't change that. We were able to get the furniture to our home on our own. My frustration with the company is their poor management and customer service. Even though we picked up our furniture, we should have received the same service of inspection and undamaged goods as that of those who can receive delivery because they live in that area. And the rebate of $50 is truly just a slap in the face in light of the fact that we spent about $1400 and were refused any other help.
In the future I will warn people of the poor service they will receive from Value City Furniture and will tell them to never purchase items from this company. Now that I've seen reviews from this location as well as others around the country, I realize that this is not a place of quality or service.

bedroom set on 08/13/2008:
I am also thoroughly disgusted with VCF. My husband and I purchased a sofa, bedroom set and an armoire. We did not finance any of this furniture we paid cash. Needless to say we ordered it over a week ago and the bed is still on my floor in my bedroom and sitting room. The armoire was damaged and the warehouse manager had the audacity to tell me that it was purchased like that thus the reason for the markdown. At no time were we told by the salesperson that the armoire was damaged. The piece looked at if it was damaged once it was placed on the truck. The delivery guys have yet to show today to fix the bed and the carpenter stated that he would have to disassemble the armoire to fix it which would be another week. The bed by the way is not up because when unboxing at the store the main piece the stablizer for the bed was thrown away. So we are waiting for a piece to be made. This is not the type of service that you expect after you've paid over 4k for furniture. My daughter needs a bedroom set but it will not come from the VCF in Newport News, VA or any other VCF store.

Crushing The Spirit Of A 4 Year Old
Posted by
COLUMBUS, OHIO -- After Ordering over $1500 worth of furniture on 11/10/2007 my delivery date was explained that it would be on 1/4/08 which would be today. I would like to add that I failed to receive a confirmation call for a delivery time and window yesterday however I called Value City to confirm and was told that all of my furniture would be delivered between 9 and 12 today.
Being that I work 3 blocks from where I live, it is fairly easy to swing home to allow the delivery men (who were very helpful) into my home to assemble the furniture.
Upon their arrival, I showed them where the Camp Granada bunk bed would be assembled and one man began unloading the truck while the second delivery man ran over paperwork with me to check contents. I was made aware of two items. That the Trundle unit was apparently not with this delivery and was scheduled for delivery on January 17th (GASP), I have a 4 year old daughter who has been waiting, and we all know how patiently 4 year old girls can wait for things. So the bed is totally unusable until after the 17th bearing the risk the item would not be lost in transit.
I then was also made aware of the âextensionâ units which are required for the actual use of the bed with a full sized mattress were short at the warehouse and that a second trip would be required and extra time for me to request for time off from my busy day at the office. After having this explained to me by [name removed], I was directed to the back of the truck due to a problem with the Bunk itself. Once again, a problem was brought to my attention that the Bunk bed I waited a good 2 months for delivery for, was damaged upon loading it into the truck and improperly securing the furniture.
The wooden footing at the bottom of the headboard of the lower bunk was split, not only an eyesore on a $1500 bunk bed, but makes this unit physically unusable by the aforementioned 4 year old daughter and the installers themselves.
I have since refused delivery of this Damaged Goods and am on the hopeful âwaitingâ list for a delivery this upcoming Wednesday, of which a promise of the Delivery manager at the Broad Street Value city was not % 100 certain that this would, occur.
I am writing this letter to Value city to voice my disdain for the care and improper treatment of a clients bought goods, As I am making payments on this unit I have not even been able to enjoy the product due to a heavy waiting period, a lack of communication via the company in regards to delivery, and the incompetence of having the completed order together.
I do not understand how Value City can continue to operate with such a lack of consideration for those whom buy your wares. I have been a loyal customer for years and recommend such services to others who are looking for quality furniture and bedding. However with the loss of credibility due to this entire ordeal has been rather disconcerting, I didnât haggle in the showroom over price due to the customer service due to the knowledge that I would expect from such a company, the trade-off would be worth it.
However now I am reconsidering any future recommendations to your company over the logistics, the communication or lack thereof, and the complications of explaining to a 4 year old girl that she will not be able to hold a sleepover with her best friend because the furniture company broke her new bed.

I hope one of your duties at the office is NOT composing letters. Who runs your household, you or your 4-yr. old?
I'd be upset at receiving damaged furniture, also, however doubt I'd pull out the 'loyal customer' card. It's getting old.
Suusan B. on 01/04/2008:
Damaged furniture is delivered every day of the week - - this complaint falls under the "disappointed" category - - "crushing the spirit of a 4 year old" is a little dramatic and over-the-top.
runaway on 01/04/2008:
"Crushing the spirit of a four-year-old"....lol!
Are you that unimaginative that you can't build a "fort" for two kids to have a blast for their overnight? Instead of whining and ruining a valid complaint, use some imagination and make it an overnight they'll love!
spiderman2 on 01/04/2008:
You have a decent complaint ruined by the "crushed 4 year old" thing. Drama gets you nowhere. I pray that this is the most crushing experience your daughter and you ever have to deal with.
killerklown on 01/04/2008:
lol...exactly what I was thinking, Ponie.
heaven17 on 01/04/2008:
You don't paint a very flattering picture of your 4 year-old daughter...
Or yourself, for that matter.
Slimjim on 01/04/2008:
You really did taint this complaint with the dramatics. I have a 4 year old who seems to have something go wrong in her life 14 times an hour. Yet a minute later, all is forgotten. Like runaway said, I'm sure you can come up with a way to save the sleepover.

This is too much for my brain at this point in the day so I will have to go with Slim and the rest on this one. Please! Don't use the chrldern like this.

Value City isn't going out of business... They have more $$ then they know what to do with
Mrs. Fantastic on 01/18/2008:
Value City department stores, and Value City Furniture stores are two different companies. The department stores are selling, not the furniture. Department stores are publicly held, hence being for sale.
Nicki on 06/19/2013:
Bought the camp Grenada set paid $2200 and they came, parts missing, part damaged, had to wait two weeks, and bed was not able to be used so my kids slept on the floor as I had already disposed of their old set and the company would not even credit me the delivery fee

Faulty Furniture - They Do Not Stand Behind Warranty
Posted on
HAGERSTOWN, MARYLAND -- Five months ago we purchased a leather dual recliner at Value City Furniture. A few weeks ago, we noticed the leather peeling in the headrest area of the left side. We called Value City and was told it was a warranty issue. We called the warranty company and was told it was a manufacturer issue and we were to call Value City. We called back to Value City and they sent out a service tech to look at it. He covered it with something and said that "this will probably not fix the problem". He also said that this has happened before. He said that if this doesn't work, call and we will make it right.
A couple weeks later I rubbed my finger over the area and the coating started to peel off. I called Value City and told them that what was done did not take care of the issue. The manager said they could not replace it without a cost. I questioned that, because we had it only 5 months. He said we need to call the warranty company again. I did and was told that since Value City sent out their tech, that the warranty company would not cover it. I told her I only did what she told me to do. She would not listen to me - only kept repeating that the warrantly was not good. I ask for a refund on what we paid for the warranty. She said we needed to call Value City to discuss that. I got tired of going back and forth.
We realize that the warranty company and Value City have no intention of honoring their warranty or standing behind any faulty piece of furniture. We are sorry we ever bought anything at Value City and will never do it again.
Company Response 06/07/2013:

I bought a $2000 leather sectional and it peeled due to manufacturer defect. I have read hundreds of complaints online about the same issue. I have spoken with a leather repair guy and he says it's unfixable!!!! VCF owes me a new sectional.

The Warranty of the Products
Posted by
GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN -- I purchase an expensive mattress from the store and had it about six months the mattress started slump in the center about 4 inches it had two quarter size stains on it and they voided my warranty I paid a lot of money for the mattress the two stains should not have made a difference on top of that at the same time when I purchased the mattress I also bought the complete bedroom set it also was junk started to fall apart piece by piece I will not recommend Value City to anyone and I will never purchase anything from them ever again. Be careful when you make a large purchase check all the dos and don'ts and warranties very carefully.

At Your Service on 12/08/2012:
It is extremely common for most mattress warranties to be voided by stains. It is always recommended that you purchase a mattress cover to protect the set and the warranty.
Have you spoken to them about the furniture? Nicer quality furniture usually carries a one year, limited warranty. If it's a cheaper made veneer or ready-to-assemble piece than it may not. It would be worth asking about however.

Crappy Customer Warranty Service
Posted by
FALLS CHURCH, VIRGINIA -- I originally purchased my furniture from Sterling (who's been great from day 1). Within a few months, the chaise and lounge cushion has sunk in. So I called the warranty customer service for repair. The lady told me that there were only 2 days available for service (Monday or Thursday) that was but couldn't give me a time, stating the technician will call me a few days before. I never received a call . The day that the technician was supposed to arrive, it was well into the afternoon and I had to call to find out what was going on which they told me to call Sterling who had to call them to ask the same question about my service.
When a replacement set came, someone left a message on Monday (1-30-12). stating that a technician will come out sometime this week. Call me crazy but I'm supposed to take the whole week off of work and wait for a technician?? I called and the repair customer service couldn't find my order, gave me a few more numbers to call which routed back to Falls Church. I got fed up and called Sterling office for help since they've helped me out before. The Sterling office had to call them and find out for me what day they are supposed to come out.
The Sterling office was able to find out what day and didn't know the time. I was randomly scheduled for Wednesday by Value City. So if I didn't call, I would never know when the technician was coming and on top of that, it wasn't at customer convenience. (Pretty much - be there sucker because I told you so or you stuff isn't going to be fixed.)
Sterling couldn't reschedule for me so they gave me the invoice number so I can call Falls Church back and set something up that would work for me. I tried to call and was told that there was only one representative available and she was soooo busy that she will contact me back (this was at 4pm). Guess what? No surprise that I haven't received a call, going on day 2.
Seriously, I would think VCF would want to work with the customer's schedule instead of basically saying "thank you for buying from us but you will be treated like crap afterwards and we don't care about your working schedule. You either be there when we tell you or you are SOL."
I never had a bad experience before and always tell people that it was worth it. I guess it was only in Michigan (they rock) because it's definitely not here in Virginia.

Complete lack of Customer Service & questionable billing practices
Posted by
FLORENCE, KENTUCKY -- Spend almost $5,000 on 3/27/11, asked about 12 months same as cash and told yes so I put $3,000 in cash down w/balance 12 months same as cash. Told set would be delivered 4/20/11. Most of the set was delivered on 4/20, but missing parts and mattress cover which I paid extra for. I called right away and was told they had to check with the driver. Received call back, couldn't reach driver but, had a mattress cover that I could come and get. I was told they would follow up on the shelves. A week later someone called to verify that we were waiting for the shelves. When I called again on April 29 I was told to call Customer Service at the Tri-County Ohio store. I did, after being bounced around and on hold more for a while, I hung up & called the store that I purchased from and told them to call customer service at Tri-County & find out what was going on and call me back which they did and was put on hold AGAIN, then told that the Customer Service Manager was going to investigate but would be out Monday and that I would receive a call on Tuesday, May 3rd which came and went with no call. I called AGAIN on May 5th, I guess an unhappy customer still doesn't warrant a manager's time.. After a few minutes customer Service gets back on the phone to tell me that they ordered the shelves and they would be delivered and installed on MAY 27th, 2 months after purchase! I told them I didn't need the shelves installed and was asked if I wanted to pick them up then. Are you kidding me! I've already had to go back 3 times for various reasons having to do with this purchase. At this point, I think the customer service manager should deliver personally. If that's not enough, I gave $3,000 as the down payment and they verified my VCF Credit Card for the 12mos same as cash and charged me the entire amount right then. I called next day & told them to either give me 13 months same as cash for balance or take if off card because it would be a month before I took possession of any product. Then I receive a bill with minimum payment AND reflected a higher interest rate than it should've been based on when my account was opened. These rates were defined on the receipt. When calling customer service about the 12 months same as cash and why the minimum payment, I was told the salesperson must have misunderstood! Then I asked about the interest rate and they had no response at all. Since I will pay if off before then I didn't push the issue. I'm so disgusted with VCF! When advertising, in addition to stating they cut out the middle man, they should also disclose that they've cut out customer service also.

Beth on 09/13/2012:
Value City customer service is retarded. They wouldn't talk to me about when bill is due or how much, since I'm not my spouse, my spouse calls them and they note the account that they can talk to me. I call them back to get info (to pay bill) and they still won't give me any info. like how much the minimum balance is or anything. bunch of idiots. Call husband back and told him I spoke with Amber and he said that's the same girl he spoke with yesterday that was supposed to note the account.

Trees and the Chesapeake Bay
Forests used to cover 95% of the land around the Chesapeake Bay, but now they cover less than 58%, according to the Chesapeake Bay Program. Trees work to protect clean water, clean the air and provide food and shelter for wildlife making the Bay area cleaner and healthier for all of us. Trees planted near streams and wetlands form a buffer filtering and cleaning storm-water runoff from parking lots, streets and farm fields before it reaches waterways. Trees planted around homes can reduce energy use by providing shade in summer and windbreaks in winter. Choose one of these 3 common Chesapeake Bay region trees to make your home more Bay-friendly.

Jacopo Guarana
Italian, 1720–1808
St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata, c. 1760
ink, wash on paper
17.9 x 12.7 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Acquired with the National Trust Company Fund No. 1
Born in Venice, Jacopo Guarana followed in the Rococo tradition of Sebastiano Ricci and Giambattista Tiepolo, working against the Neoclassical style that had taken hold in many of the Italian schools, including in Venice. Accepted into the Accademia in Venice in 1756, Guarana went on to execute designs for many ceilings and domes in the city and surrounding towns. With its shaped composition and grid lines, this drawing of St. Francis receiving the stigmata clearly served as a preparatory study for a larger, finished work, perhaps an altarpiece. St. Francis is depicted with outstretched arms gazing upward in disbelief as the Holy Ghost appears to him in the form of a white dove. Images such as this, where saints were shown receiving the stigmata—the very wounds that Christ sustained on the cross—appeared in Italian painting as early as the fourteenth century.

The Consortium for World Cultures promotes pan-institutional, interdisciplinary scholarship that enhances our knowledge and understanding of cultural diversity, creativity, environmental adaptation and the evolution of humanity. Our programs seek to inspire audiences to explore the cultural and artistic heritage of the world's peoples and cultivate appreciation for diversity through collecting activities, public programs and community engagement.
Smithsonian Grand Challenges Awards—a competitive, internal granting program—advance cross-disciplinary, integrated scholarly efforts across the Institution which relate to the Smithsonian Grand Challenge Valuing World Cultures.These awards encourage Smithsonian staff to advance research, as well as broaden access, revitalize education, strengthen collections and encourage new ways of thinking that involve emerging technology.
Grand Challenges grants are awarded through the Smithsonian Consortia at two distinct levels:
Level One grants provide seed money to develop groups around promising concepts. Successful proposals at Level One provide the time and incentive for individuals with common interests to meet and crystallize ideas for major interdisciplinary/pan-Institutional projects. These projects are intended to be short in duration (6-12 months) and focused in purpose, such as support for arranging seminars, workshops, meetings, and brown-bag lunches.
Level Two grants are larger and aimed at maturing groups poised to confront relevant issues and prepared to secure external funding. Applicants apply for Level Two funding to conduct preliminary experiments, write a position paper, explore the design of an exhibition, conduct preparatory work for a major project or produce other evidence of scholarly capacity that is deemed essential for external competition. Successful proposals at Level Two provide a group that has defined a common goal with the resources they need to establish themselves as credible competitors for external funding. Applicants for Level Two funding may already have a collaborative history or may be building on the outcome of a successful Level One process.

Nov 12 - Enterprise Financial Services Corp, St. Louis, (Nasdaq:EFSC) has repurchased the $35 million in preferred stock it issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program. The preferred shares were repurchased at their full face value. In addition, the company paid $0.4 million in accrued and unpaid dividends on the shares.
"We agreed to participate in the Capital Purchase Program in late 2008 as an efficient means to supplement our capital strength and support continued growth during a time of economic uncertainty," said Peter Benoist, president and CEO. "Since then, we've accomplished those objectives, growing our assets by almost 30 percent and completing four FDIC-assisted acquisitions. Now, with the economy showing signs of recovery and given our stronger capital and liquidity positions, we decided the time was right to repurchase the preferred stock in full."

Forest Springs Family Dental Combines Technology With Care And Compassion
Few professional people begin their careers at 16, but Misty W. Griffin, DMD, owner and dentist at Forest Springs Family Dental, did exactly that. While growing up in Owensboro, she worked as a chair-side dental assistant to a pair of dentists.
"I always knew that I wanted to work in health care," she said. "Six months after starting to help in that Owensboro practice, I fell in love with this field. I've now been in dentistry for going on 21 years."
After graduating from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2002, she moved to Lexington and spent several years in a dental practice residency through the University of Kentucky. She is married to Louisville native Hubert Priest "Bert" Griffin III; they have a three-year-old son, Priest.
"While I was in school, I had talked a lot with a classmate about becoming partners in a practice," she said. "But after graduation, I wasn't ready to become an owner, so I associated and did various things. She opened a practice; and by the time I was ready to own, she was relocating to Denver, so I bought it from her."
Misty hung out her shingle at Forest Springs Family Dental (12466 LaGrange Road) in November 2009. Its location, in The Shops of Forest Springs, near the Gene Snyder Freeway, has proven to be convenient for her patients as well as her staff: office manager Terri Bradley; dental hygienist Lynn Ball; and expanded-duty dental assistant Tina Bryan. Although small, the community service-oriented practice enjoys sponsoring events such as the Salvation Army's upcoming "Christmas in July."
"We treat everybody like family. I try to focus on what I would do if you were my mother, or if your mouth were mine – what would I want done?" she said. "I don't just say, 'You need a filling, come back and see me.' I try to educate the patient about the disease process and why it needs to be treated."
To achieve that goal, Forest Springs Family Dental uses the latest technology, including digital X-rays, which use low levels of radiation; and practice-management software that keeps patient charts instantly accessible. Local and "happy gas" anesthesia are offered; so are rewards for patients who bring in new referrals.
"I do full general-practice dentistry, which includes children, families – everybody. My oldest patient is 100," she said. "My niche is treating adults who have a great fear of dentistry. There are a lot of people who had bad experiences as kids, or have other reasons. I ask them about their past experiences. It helps to know exactly what they're afraid of, so we can work around those fears, walk them through it, and get their dental treatment done."
Forest Springs Family Dental, 12466 LaGrange Road, opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. For more information, visit www.forestspringsdental.com or call 502.241.3838; call for evening availability.

Dr. Griffin is my dentist and I love her. She's the first dentist I've ever gone to that I could actually relax while she worked on my teeth. Great service too!

Papi's Scotties Brazilian Trunk is available in four fashionable color options: red, black, blue, and yellow. Each pair features a tartan inspired print with solid piping and Papi logo waistband. A super soft cotton blend will keep you looking and feeling great!
says Robert
Saturday, December 08, 2012 - True To SizeThese trunks are incredibly comfortable; in fact, they may be the most comfortable pair of underwear I own (aside from my DKNY briefs). They fit great, the fabric is soft, and they don't restrict your movement at all. I first purchased the yellow, but followed that up with the red and the blue.

Kerry Washington has been an idol of mine ever since her starring role in "Ray," a film I watched about ten times in 2005. Ever since then her star has been growing with more hit films and a recent turn as the star of the ABC show, "Scandal." Even more than her acting chops, Washington is a fashion star. Always dressing her svelte body in age appropriate, appealing and on-trend assembles. Her latest look featured here today is no exception.
As the weather heats up on the East and West coasts, this look is perfect. A short-sleeve turtle neck or tee in a bright Spring color, a pleated leather mini, a coral clutch and great classic black pumps. Who wouldn't want to look as youthful and stylish as Ms.Washington? Well now you can too with Icon's similar picks! So admire her look and click the links below to shop her look!

Virtualization With KVM On A CentOS 6.3 Server
Submitted by falko (Contact Author) (Forums) on Thu, 2012-08-30 17:55. :: CentOS | KVM | Virtualization
Virtualization With KVM On A CentOS 6.3 Server
Version 1.0
This guide explains how you can install and use KVM for creating and running virtual machines on a CentOS 6.3 server. I will show how to create image-based virtual machines and also virtual machines that use a logical volume (LVM). KVM is short for Kernel-based Virtual Machine and makes use of hardware virtualization, i.e., you need a CPU that supports hardware virtualization, e.g. Intel VT or AMD-V.
I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!
1 Preliminary Note
I'm using a CentOS 6.3 server with the hostname server1.example.com and the IP address 192.168.0.100 here as my KVM host.
I had SELinux disabled on my CentOS 6.3 system. I didn't test with SELinux on; it might work, but if not, you better switch off SELinux as well:
vi /etc/selinux/config
Set SELINUX=disabled...
... and reboot:
We also need a desktop system where we install virt-manager so that we can connect to the graphical console of the virtual machines that we install. I'm using a Fedora 17 desktop here.
2 Installing KVM
CentOS 6.3 KVM Host:
First check if your CPU supports hardware virtualization - if this is the case, the command
egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
should display something, e.g. like this:
[root@server1 ~]# egrep '(vmx|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo
If nothing is displayed, then your processor doesn't support hardware virtualization, and you must stop here.
Now we import the GPG keys for software packages:
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY*
To install KVM and virtinst (a tool to create virtual machines), we run
yum install kvm libvirt python-virtinst qemu-kvm
Then start the libvirt daemon:
/etc/init.d/libvirtd start
To check if KVM has successfully been installed, run
virsh -c qemu:///system list
It should display something like this:
[root@server1 ~]# virsh -c qemu:///system list
If it displays an error instead, then something went wrong.
Next we need to set up a network bridge on our server so that our virtual machines can be accessed from other hosts as if they were physical systems in the network.
To do this, we install the package bridge-utils...
yum install bridge-utils
... and configure a bridge. Create the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0 (please use the IPADDR, PREFIX, GATEWAY, DNS1 and DNS2 values from the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file); make sure you use TYPE=Bridge, not TYPE=Ethernet:
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
Modify /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 as follows (comment out BOOTPROTO, IPADDR, PREFIX, GATEWAY, DNS1, and DNS2 and add BRIDGE=br0):
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
Restart the network...
/etc/init.d/network restart
... and run
It should now show the network bridge (br0):
[root@server1 ~]# ifconfig
3 Installing virt-viewer Or virt-manager On Your Fedora 17 Desktop
Fedora 17 Desktop:
We need a means of connecting to the graphical console of our guests - we can use virt-manager for this. I'm assuming that you're using a Fedora 17 desktop.
Become root...
... and run...
yum install virt-manager libvirt qemu-system-x86 openssh-askpass
... to install virt-manager.
(If you're using an Ubuntu 12.04 desktop, you can install virt-manager as follows:
sudo apt-get install virt-manager
4 Creating A Debian Squeeze Guest (Image-Based) From The Command Line
CentOs 6.3 KVM Host:
Now let's go back to our CentOS 6.3 KVM host.
Take a look at
man virt-install
to learn how to use virt-install.
We will create our image-based virtual machines in the directory /var/lib/libvirt/images/ which was created automatically when we installed KVM in chapter two.
To create a Debian Squeeze guest (in bridging mode) with the name vm10, 512MB of RAM, two virtual CPUs, and the disk image /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm10.img (with a size of 12GB), insert the Debian Squeeze Netinstall CD into the CD drive and run
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm10 -r 512 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm10.img,size=12 -c /dev/cdrom --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant debiansqueeze --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm
Of course, you can also create an ISO image of the Debian Squeeze Netinstall CD (please create it in the /var/lib/libvirt/images/ directory because later on I will show how to create virtual machines through virt-manager from your Fedora desktop, and virt-manager will look for ISO images in the /var/lib/libvirt/images/ directory)...
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/var/lib/libvirt/images/debian-6.0.5-amd64-netinst.iso
... and use the ISO image in the virt-install command:
virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm10 -r 512 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm10.img,size=12 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/debian-6.0.5-amd64-netinst.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant debiansqueeze --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm
The output is as follows:
[root@server1 ~]# virt-install --connect qemu:///system -n vm10 -r 512 --vcpus=2 --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm10.img,size=12 -c /var/lib/libvirt/images/debian-6.0.5-amd64-netinst.iso --vnc --noautoconsole --os-type linux --os-variant debiansqueeze --accelerate --network=bridge:br0 --hvm

The Irish-American Club of St. Clair County, sponsors of the event, are looking for Grand Marshal nominations, with nominees having to be at least twenty-one years of age, a St. Clair County resident and of Irish descent, regardless of married name or surname. The club's Jim Brennan says once they select a Grand Marshal, then comes the traditional sashing. Brennan says the nominations must be in writing and should be typewritten on a single sheet of paper. It has to include the name, address and telephone number of the nominator and the nomination letter should also cite the reasons for nomination. Nominations are due in by February 10th.
