Think 10 times if you want to buy furniture from Vonza Sdn Bhd / Decor Point Sdn Bhd! mad.gif

When you want to arrange for delivery, they ask you to call their rude logistics department
When the item delivered, it is claimed 100% export quality but the dining table turned out has long scratch lines, and the chairs are all assembled at your house by unskilled foreign worker. Worse still the chair legs comes with different lengths and colors and the worker gave up after fixing up few chairs that all are unbalance and shaky.
When you try to call the sales to deal with the issue, they push you around to call several showrooms/departments and you will need some luck before somebody finally willing to listen to your problem.

When you go to see the Managing Director at their showroom to express your dissatisfaction and exercise your CONSUMER RIGHTS to ask for Refund, they said their product 100% quality and insist you can ONLY Exchange, NO REFUND.

But the fact that the Trade ministry already announced Nov 2012 that all purchases if it is for domestic use, as mentioned here:
http://www.malaysiandigest.com/news/36-local2/162971-no-refund-disclaimers-by-traders-merchants-unethical-ismail-sabri.html

Consumers have the right to be compensated for items or services which do not meet the guarantee given, including in business premises which display 'No Exchange' or 'No Refund' notices.

When you lodge a complain to the Consumer Tribunal, the 'super efficient' company denies they received letter from the authority to attend hearing but their staff actually signed back the registered mail.

When they are issued a COURT ORDER, yes a COURT ORDER to refund the full amount, they deny it, and only tell you they will refund but offset this fee that fee, and Not according to COURT ORDER.

When you lodge a complaint to summon them they finally agree to pay but play tricks to say they send letter to bank to refund to your credit card (but refused to issue a refund cheque). After 20+ days still no refund was made…

If you do not want to go down the path I went through think think think 10x before you want to sign a purchase form with such a merchant.
They are totally abusing the rights for a consumer, by collecting your money for 5 months and you don't get to use your furniture a day and you have to go the authorities 3 times to lodge complaint. They just sit back and let you shout and continue to get other innocent buyers to be their next target.

Share with all your friends and families, we are the CONSUMER, we need to know our RIGHTS, and use it appropriately. Don't be afraid of problem, if you happen to run into one.

We need more awareness to attain better level of CONSUMER RIGHTS!

Ya our consumer rights actually don't have consumer rights at all. Our consumer tribunal and courts are of no use. Therefore all these idiots know and taking advantage. I was thinking of going tribunal regarding my door frm Kim Door but after hearing and reading all this feedback and experience consumer still loose. I just say to myself lets do charity and donate the RM300+ to those poor people at Kim door. They might not have money to buy food.

hey...actually Vonza gallery and Vonza Decor point are different although they carry the name Vonza...

I bought mattress and bed set from Vonza Decor point during one of the exhibition. I also have to call the delivery department (the number at the back of the envelope). Service was good, no rude person or anything..I paid teh balance at Decor Point along LDP (use credit card can collect points, just in case delivery guy come and machine rosak)

BUT I bought sofa, coffee table and got free chair from Vonza gallery...I can agree with you, service damn terrible....they said to ask for delivery 3 weeks before I need them. I called them and they said so near to CNY have to wait for 1 mth for delivery (meaning 1 week after CNY). So I said ok.

Then 3 days before delivery date, I called them to confirm because no one called me. I can tell the lady totally forgotten from the conversation; she couldn't find my order and have no collection of an arrangement for my delivery for that particular week. At first she said, we did not make an arrangement! Then she said cannot find the order chit. I was so mad and gave her a piece of my mind.

Then she called me back and said they can't delivery because apparently the factory ran out of the fabric that I wanted for my sofa and did not inform her AND she said have to wait another 3WEEKS; Which is the same amount of duration for a new delivery.

So I know she totally forgotten to make the arrangement with the factory on her side.

THEN, 1 day before delivery, her staff called me and said the leisure chair that I ordered in red is OUT OF STOCK. What the fish!! He asked me to that the one in white which is the one that have in their gallery. Bloody Hell! He said if i insisted in the RED one, he needs to order and I need to wait 3 MONTHS! Crazy or what?! I think he just wants me to take the white one. I told him, that leisure chair is not urgent and I will wait.

On the day of delivery....guess what?! they send me the WRONG coffee table...Wrong shape and wrong colour and when they delivery man installed the table, the drawers were full of scratches because the roller for drawers weren't installed correctly and brushes over the table top..

I called them and told them that they send me the wrong table...wrong shape and colour. That bloody lady said it is what is written in their order. I told her I don't bloody care what code she wrote on the order but this is not the table that I ordered and I send her a picture of the table that I ordered.

She called me back and said that table has been discontinued and wanted me to take the the table design that they sent (but new one) when the table I ordered was much more expensive.

And she has the chic to ask me to PAY FIRST! I told her NO. And she send me a photo of the table that I originally ordered but of a different colour..also white (I think white don't sell so well, because that table was a display unit as well, same with the leisure chair).

Then I said, I'll reject everything..she can take everything back and I want full refund...Then they ask me to go to their showroom and pick a new coffee table that we like...eventually I pick another square one but RM100 more but we didnt top up..and she also said that leisure chair in red..don't have to wait 3 mths...ask to collect mid of this mth...and the coffee table...she said can deliver on the same day but 7pm since lorry driver is in puchong..

I thought they changed..but lo and behold, 6+pm, they called back said raining and lorry has no Canvas to cover. Dumbfounded, we threaten to call consumer association. Then they ask lorry driver to call us..driver said still in damansara and already very late, said to deliver next morning (But I need to go out in the morning). And yell at us saying that we are so inconsiderate 'hari in beli, hari ini mau deliver' Bloody hell, I beli berbulan bulan lepas! Then we called the Vonza lady again, she said very late and will talk to lorry driver...She ask lorry driver to call us back instead..

In my opinion, Vonza Gallery is not worth it..no doubt sofa quality was good and nice, but service just killed the business.

BTW, this is Vonza Gallery in Bukit Tinggi Klang

I just bought a custom made cabinet from Podez Gallery Sdn Bhd...any relations with this Vonza? From what I gather, a lot of these furniture shops are all linked, maybe under the same bosses... Just like the phone retailers in Sg Wang, many booths but same bosses... don't buy from booth A, go to booth B, without realising, also same boss, but just different name.. rclxub.gif

I had same terrible bad experience on Victoria Gallery @ Serdang Raya, The sales man promise get us real marble for dinning table and select the outlook from leaflet, and we did insists we are not accepting Man made Marble/Artificial Stone for our dinning table.
Down payment had been paid RM500, the cost is about 3k plus include 6 chairs.
Once stock arrive is man made marble dinning table, and few scratches. We ask for return, then this man director of the company talk to us. I don't want name it out(google facebook your self), he refuse to refund the deposit and insists that we must take the table and payment. He said "he is not the sales man who sale the thing, the sales man now resign. You must pay the item and we can't refund you the deposit."
We learn our painful lesson the company swallow our RM500 and we only get 4 cheap dinning chair where now put in the store room.

Hey,

My wife just came across your thread and she was talking to me about it over breakfast. And your experience got me thinking about the same SHITTY experience I got at the end of last year with this Lady Boss/Vonza/Decor Point/Deep Living etc. Point is the said Lady Boss micro manages all these companies and dealings. She is not a pleasant person to deal with and to be honest, I don't know how she managed to expand her business until today. Moreover, the quality and design of the products are rubbish - but possibly coz of One price, One product?

The story goes...

Couple of 'Perfect Livin' expos ago, we were looking for some home reno items and we came across Vonza's sofas. If you compared their sofas with the other suppliers @ Perfect Livin, I would say their sofas would appear as decent. At that time, the only sofas I've really explored were the ones from the suppliers at the expo coz I haven't had the time to visit other shops. My wife thought the L shape sofa was decent for its price.

Few expos later, it was time to buy our sofa so we visited the expo yet again and this time, without exploring further, I paid a deposit of 50% for the sofa because I had thought that my wife was happy with the sofa. She thought I liked it, and I thought she liked it...
At this point in time, we hadn't decided on the color nor size so the deposit was to merely lockdown the expo discounts.

After some research, we realised that their sofa's fabric were fire retardant and most fire retardant sofas will have to be treated with chemicals that could cause cancer. Not feeling comfortable, we went to their showroom to try the sofa again to see if we would go with the leather alternative. Soon realised that the sofa isn't actually as comfortable as I'd like it to be and the leather alternative looked and felt simply awful.

We decided to cancel our order and to be fair, I respect the fact that the deposit is non refundable. Again, nobody told us that the deposit was non refundable coz on the day of the expo, the parttime sales person and even the lady boss said we could change to anything else (ie mattress etc) at their shop if we wanted to.
Nobody specified clearly that the deposit is non refundable - but i blame myself for this because I should have read the back of their receipt for the terms and conditions before signing it.

Nevermind that. So we went to their Puchong HQ to discuss our intention to change for something else in the shop. They tried their best to convince us that the fabric used for their sofas were not fire retardant (that was a lie because it is clearly stated in the Spec sheet for the Acacia fabric).
At this point in time, nothing in their shop seemed decent and met my requirements. I decided to change it to a bed + mattress for our guest room since we already bought our mattress from somewhere else. The staff couldn't make any decisions so they had to call the lady boss and we had to argue several times over the phone (many times she just put the phone down when she felt she was uncomfortable). In the end, she allowed us to change to an Englander mattress because I suspect the margins are better as compared to the King Koil ones. Almost giving up, I agreed with that and they wrote me a new receipt to change the deposit to the mattress. The manager at the Puchong HQ was actually quite helpful and we appreciate that he tried to help us negotiate a deal knowing that the lady boss is very cunning.

I left the showroom and later that afternoon, the lady boss called me. She insisted that she had paid the commission to the sales person for the sofa BUT that isn't really my problem is it...all i did was paid for the deposit to lock down the discounts at their shop (strange idea i know after thinking bout it). Usually I let my wife do the negotiations etc. BUT this time I was boiling and I yelled at her for not keeping her words. After all the trouble I went through, I was almost thinking the 2k isn't worth all this trouble. I gave her 2 options: 1) Honour her words and deliver the mattress as per receipt 2) I go to the consumer court if the mattress isn't delivered on the agreed date as per receipt and get whatever I can even if it is RM 1 after all the admin fees whatsoever.

She hung up the phone after that and I didn't want to call her back. I waited for the week of the delivery and someone called me to tell me that the mattress isn't in stock (Nice try..). I said I would give them few more days to obtain the stock and then have it sent to me at a time convenient to myself. They delayed the delivery again a few days later but eventually, they came and installed the bed. After some horror stories I've read about their bad installations, I watched their crew very closely in case of any damages etc. Fortunately, the crew sent was quite polite and careful. They even told me that their lady boss was a nice woman. I told them my story and they said it could have been a miscommunication - I really wonder what these guys are thinking. If their boss would treat their customers like that, what more the employees?

Once they left, I told myself NEVER EVER to buy from any of their shops and affiliates whatsoever...ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE...
I was fortunate enough to get something for what I've paid BUT this is simply not what I would expect.

I hope with this thread, more people would be aware of such clowns and be very careful where they spend their money.

HI Everyone... I just had a nightmare with Vonza, the director Lucy is totally not profesional, really sounds like auntie selling things at market... I ordered 5k sofa in Home Decor 1.5 years ago (full payment via credit card!), not only the sofa was delivered wrongly, we ordered for 2+1+1 + side sofa, it came 2+2+side, and the sofa has 1 stretch line, visible if you look carefully.... the FOC table, which is one of the reason we bought this set, is suppose to be a cheerful and colorful steel stable and it is robust... they simply replace it with a coffee table that i dislike... After they took back one of the 2 seater (that is suppose to be 1+1), no updates whatsoever when i can get my complete set.. i keep calling and following up, until i got so pissed off and asked to talk to their manager, and i was referred to Lucy...This is in June or early July..

Lucy admitted that she does not know which coffee table that i was offered during the fair since it is not stated in the receipt, I asked her to check back the record what they displayed at the Home Decor fair.. it took her weeks until she figure out which set, but told me that model was obsolete... By then, i already start researching over the net to find any complaints for Vonza, and i was skeptical of accepting a replacement (she offered to give better one), since i read their coffee table is of poor quality... I asked for a refund of RM500, which she refuse to give, and in the end, after many weeks of delay, she said she found and can deliver the coffee table that i want.. but no call to updates when delivery will be made.. last week we finally receive the call...

Today, she delivered my sofa set by sending over the 2+1+1, but the color is slightly different than the one delivered to us earlier, my husband decided not to pursue further because today is already Oct... they did not send me the coffee table i want, but looking at the quality, my husband feel that the one they sent is acceptable, so he doesn't want to complaint further, he just want to end this nightmare..

Guess what? Just now the foreigner worker called up and tell us they send the wrong table to us, and wants to collect the table, i am swearing and my better tempered husband, got so pissed off and called Lucy... She does not even sound apologetic, in fact she is yelling to her workers while my husband is still on the line... she has a very irritating habit of not addressing the issue with solution and follow up, and just hang up!

GUYS! Dont buy anything from Vonza.. I am not giving back the table, either she gave me full refund and i return whole set, otherwise, I am holding to this table... I dont want to hear any other proposal from Vonza again!

Hey,

My wife just came across your thread and she was talking to me about it over breakfast.Ā  And your experience got me thinking about the same SHITTY experience I got at the end of last year with this Lady Boss/Vonza/Decor Point/Deep Living etc.Ā  Point is the said Lady Boss micro manages all these companies and dealings.Ā  She is not a pleasant person to deal with and to be honest, I don't know how she managed to expand her business until today.Ā  Moreover, the quality and design ofĀ  the products are rubbish - but possibly coz of One price, One product?

The story goes...

This reminded me of bad experience on the items purchased from this Decor Point sb ( Vonza is the brand).
3 years ago, bought an L shape "full" genuine leather sofa & a bed frame.

The lady boss, Lucy Wong is running the whole business and she handles almost everything, especially price bargaining.

The L shape sofa was supposed to be full leather, meaning all pieces are the 100% genuine leather. It was until recently that we discovered that the back of the sofa obviously was made from PU ( You can feel the difference by pressing hard at one point to see the grain).

On the other hand, the entire "skin" of the bed frame which was made of leather bond has peeled off after just 3 years of ownership. I was informed many sofa and bed manufacturers got the same issue with this peeling off kind of leather bond.

Personally, I don't recommend them. How I wish if we can blacklist such irresponsible businesses from major exhibitions like Homedec, Perfect Living etc.

My advice and this has worked for me very well:-

1) Don't pay in cash for large purchases!
2) Pay only a booking deposit!
3) Don't pay full amount for delivery months ahead!
4) If have to pay the full amount, delivery must be within 1-2 weeks time!
5) Get everything in writing including promises and freebies etc!
6) Take pictures lots of pictures, of items purchased!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) If paid with CC esp with Citibank raise a payment dispute and halt payment to the vendor.
2) Where possible deposit a small amount and not risk the entire amount.
3) When it comes to raising a dispute the sooner it's reported the better. Old cases are hard to trace for everyone including buyers, vendors and payment companies!
4) The faster vendors deliver the better, only a small window for buyers to raise a payment dispute with CC companies. Make sure the delivery date is written, black and white on invoice!
5) Documented proof is important, helps builds a case against vendor etc.
6) Picture says a thousand words and it's documented proof if product delivered is significantly different from purchases.

I am a regular customer of vonza and decor. I am an interior designer so I always go to their places to help my client to buy furniture's or for my own projects. I can say their service is quite Good in overall.
I can admit that sometimes, I did encountered some problems or mistakes they makes. But they did settled for me in very short of times. I could understand that not everyone will do perfect things, but at least they can solve my problems. Their delivery some times were not punctured, so at that time, I am frustrated. But some times, when I think back, some times, Klang valley's traffic is always unpredictable. So as long as they can deliver to me and inform me they will be late, I will be fine.
To be honest, as a designer, I always go to different places to buy furniture. I went to Lorenzo, Rozel, Ikea, Milano house & etc. Most of the company got hell lots of different problems too. Like lorenzo, they always advertised with very cheap sales but not all were true. When you reached there, they will say finished la, sample sets la...Blar Blar Blar. .I ken's furniture quality are bad! But one thing I can assured that their Sofa's quality are Good. So far I have no problems at all. Especially with Acacia fabric. Most of my customer were happy with their products so far.
But I don't really know about Vonza Gallery. But I reckoned they are under the same umbrella.
Yes, I did have some conflict with the lady boss before. Cos she is always very Loud. She like to talk loudly and some times shout alot. Because of this, I did argued with her before due to some issues regarding the delays of shipping. But at least in the end she managed to settled for me. But to be honest, when I knew her well, she is actually quite a good lady boss. She knew a lot of things and she help me a lot since after then. Some times I have some ridiculous requirements and date lines that I need it in a week or few days..she always help me to pull it off...Some times you know the customers need it urgently.
I am not paid to write here, but I think is good that I share a differ point of my view. You definitely have your choice to complaint it here. But so far my experience with them were not bad. Trust me, there are many very bad ones out there!
Let's think this way, if a company with that's many outlets and were in the market for so many years, if without any problems, will you believe? Even McDonald's had their problems, do you all agree? You all will only see what is bad here, but did anyone will purposely write when they serve you good? NO right?! If you all just because few issues, then you decided not to buy from them, I think is a bit not rational.
I suggest you guys to decide yourself. For me no harm to try. Just remember to write down all the info's they gave, including all free gifts and specs..In black & white. That's your proof, they can't argue with you. In the end, consumer rights still protecting you.
This is just my point of view as their regular customer.

Lorenzo advertised 3 separate advertisements in the newspaper today. I went to check the advertisements against the actual in 3 Lorenzo showrooms. All of them carry the products as advertised except for one which they said already sold out (advertised as display unit).

All of the sales persons in Lorenzo were very nice during my visits. I ended up purchasing sofa set which is not advertised. They mentioned that the delivery will be in 1 months. Will be updating whether they keep to their promise once I receive the sofa set.

Sorry, maybe I used a wrong sentence. But as what I said. After all, is your own decision to decide to buy or not. That's it.
I totally understood your concerned. Any how, there's lots of furniture outlet in msia.. so you can get from others too..If you think is risky.

Its always harm to try if ure at a 50:50 state of being conned..

If u knew there was a famous massage parlour that 50:50 u get robbed.. Would u still reiterate the " no harm to try" motto..

Btw saw them in perfect living. Totally avoided them. Shopping for a dining table n sofa.

Hi, I bought my mattress and sofa with Vonza last year at Homedec. When I saw those complaints i am kinda worried. but I only can do is pray for the good.

I called them for delivery about a month before i move in to my new home this was what vonza sales person aked me to do during the fair. So i did it. Everything was running pretty smooth and they promised me to deliver 1 month later on April the 5th. Then i called them up to change the date to a day earlier due to ęø…ę˜Ž. The lady who answered my call were friendly and willing to changed for me. I am very happy with her help.

I received my sofa and mattress on the 4th. I check everything before i pay them my balance. Luckily all my things are in good condition and i love my sofa. I can say the sofa quality is very good. Thanks god. I am satisfied. smile.gif

Hope others who bought things from Vonza are as lucky as me. Good Luck!

Thanks guys but a bit too late for me to take precaution. I just to add one more company into this thread - Podez Gallery. BEWARE!!!

They take our deposit. Suddenly, one of their gallery burned down. Relocate all the other gallery premises. Change address and telephone number. When found, it's a nightmare to have a refund.

I have read this thread before decided purchase a sofa set. Browse thru Vonza and Deep Living throughout those Home & Living Fairs. And like all of us here, we were hesitating whether to purchase from them or no.

We like their sofa so much, thus we took a leap of a faith and decided to book with Deep Living.

We are very happy that our transaction & delivery is all smooth.
No delay on promised delivery dates. The fabrics color, free gifts are all correct and as promised. thumbup.gif

I feel that it is fair that we should post up good reviews for the company if they actually earn one.

Hope they can keep up their good services! rclxms.gif

I've also experienced a bad experience from the Managing Director, Lucy Wong. Her condescending and rude tone is utterly unacceptable. Funny thing is most of the phone number printed/displayed on their web/name card is not even in service.

Talk about a badly managed company.

Sometimes you need to be fierce towards them. If you dont sound them, they will just take the matter like nothing else.

I bought two mattress from Decor Point during homedec last time, the salesman told me that i can pay the balance by credit card upon delivery, just that I need to inform them earlier so they would bring the machine out. But later when they call me to arrange delivery and i request for credit card payment, they told me they don't offer such payment method during delivery. So angry to be cheated! mad.gif

That looks like 'rebonded leather' which is made from scrap leather mixed and glue together.
They typically fall apart after 1 or 2 years.

Many unscrupulous sellers out there won't tell you if you don't ask. They just say 'leather'....

I was wondering if I had stumbled upon this thread earlier will I still consider to not buy from them?Went to Viva Furniture Mall yesterday and they were having a roadshow there, decided to purchase one of their sofas with a more customized size. The design and fabric used was actually what I was looking for and without further adieu, I've paid for the deposit to the sofa and it will take around a month to be completed.

Keeping my fingers crossed now to hope for a smooth sailing purchasing experience. sweat.gif

P/S: I have been looking high and low for the perfect sofa that will match what I want, and do trust me guys, I've been to at least 20 shops in Klang Valley & KL area but have yet to find a design that provides functionality without compromising the aesthetics aspects of it.

I too have bought 10k worth of items from Vonza at Homedec last year, and only discovered this thread the night of the purchase. I was praying hard to be among the fortunate ones, but looking at their bad records, I know my chance is pretty slim. True enough, my nightmare has slowly seeped in as now I am at the delivery stage of all my ordered items.

They called me up about 6 weeks before April 1st asking to finalize my order and get all order delivered before Apr 1st to avoid GST. Of course, provided that the balance of payment to be made after delivery.

So I did, got my order in place and arranged for delivery to be on the final week of March. And guess what, one day before delivery date, this Lucy lady called me up and said need one more week to deliver.. But to avoid GST, settle full balance before 1 Apr.

I feel really cheated. But had no choice coz 6% of 10k is A LOT. I am also making other big purchases for moving into new house, so every saving here and there will really help.

This is only episode 1 of the delivery chapter. Only God knows what will happen to me until the goods have safely arrived, and no need to mention, my worries on the quality of the goods.

furniture can goes up to thousands ringgit for new home..
i wont spend a cent in those home living or perfect living or whatever home or living fair..
Why ppl want to have some LITTLE discount and save a LITTLE in those FAIR then nightmare afterwards? most of the time, you cant even find those EVENT partime sales that you paid your booking fee afterward..

Most important is, the commission u paid has already gone to the sales u dealt with in fair, If you really suey to have problem afterwards, i don't think the showroom sales will take care of your problem as their business too hmm.gif

Always go to the showroom, put your booking there, recognize their manager, so u know where to find them. Thats my 2 cents.

Vonza is a piece of shit

I bought my bedset n frame about 4 years ago from them.

It only took 9 months for the peeling off to start. So called leather

Within another 6 months the whole leather had multiple cracks.... and started peeling off

Dont bother althiugh looks good after 1year plus I had to spend another 1k to get a simple bedframe

Seriously even if it looks nice n u get ur delivery u will only know after 6 or 9 mths the lousy quality u paying for. And end up cannot even use anymore

Bought a sofa set from them in homedec 2015. This thread gave me heart attack.

But the sofa came with no issue.

Everything looks good.

Is this thread still relevant? Looking at ts past record seems like he is the trouble maker instead.

I just pay deposit for L shape design sofa for 6k during last week fair at MV. Now stumble on this thread which gives me a creep. However the design is nice and Belgium fabric looks like a quality and comes with 5 years warranty.

Hope all is in good order..delivery is somewhere Oct.

wah, lucky I didn't buy from there. I tried to call their VIVA Mall branch but 'number not in service' and also the sales person hand phone but no answer.

I guess this verifies my confidence in them.

So, it's back to buying from Robinsons then. Pay more but get good quality products and also member rebate smile.gif

Here I am sharing my buying experience from Deep Living, not mistaken they are all related to the same boss, mother and son companies. I saw this post before I walked in to their showroom in I city, but really can not resist but to buy from them as I really like the sofa I saw in their showroom, crossed my finger that nothing bad happen dealing with them but still, thing happened. Sigh...

Spotted a nice sofa in their showroom and negotiated with the sales person name Ani. She is a bubbly and very talkactive sales person that seems as though she is very helpful. So eventually book a sofa with the price of rm4900 after some discount which original price is rm5400. At first they can only discount up to rm5200 but I keep on pressing them and eventually Ani called her boss to discuss and came back to me saying that if I can make full payment today, they can give me price of rm4900.

So I did. Informed them I will be calling them to arrange for delivery once my house reno is done which expect to be 2 months later.

2 months later which is in early September, called them up and spoke to Brandon, got to know that Ani no longer working there so he will follow up from there. By confirming the sofa that I booked with me, Brendon sent some photo to me via watsapp, please look at below 2 photo, above photo is the one I took during the purchase, second photo is the one Brendon sent to me:

user posted image

Spot the difference? The picture sent by Brendon to me is without the sideboard! Immediately I clarify with him by sending the photo I have saying that the sideboard is missing. There he started to argue with me that the price I paid (rm4900) IS without the sideboard, if with sideboard the price shouldn't be this cheap, cos the sideboard itself costs about rm800.

I was like WTF, told him that this is the sofa I booked and paid for (with sideboard), On the day i purchased the sofa, Ani didn't mentioned anything about the sideboard, Brendon then mentioned that Ani was a temporary staff and due to miscommunication or lack of product knowledge, she had conveyed the wrong message to customers, I am the third customer that is with this sideboard problem. He quickly say he will get somebody to call me to explain.

After that Ms Joanne called back, saying the same thing as the temporary staff told wrong info to customer, which she didn't tell customer that the sideboard does not come with the sofa, if customer want the sideboard, price will be much more expensive.

I fxxked her during the phone conversation, she offered me 2 solution, either me top up rm400 (originally rm800) for the sideboard, or they will do full refund. I threatened her to file a complaint to tribunal cos a deal is a deal, you can't ask me to top up after 2 months time when I want to arrange for delivery by saying that due to the lack of product knowledge of YOUR staff, even I am not happy with the second alternative of full refund, so now after waiting for so long, you ask me to go other furniture shop buy sofa again? who is going to pay for my time? my fuel? my effort? my catering arrangement for the coming house warming?

After much argument on the phone then eventually this Ms Joanne gave up and say that since it is the mistake of their staff, they are willing to give me the sideboard without any further charges.

Delivery arranged to be on 9th Octorber, finger cross that they don't give me any further problem.

huh.... here I am again to share my experience purchasing my sofa from Deep Living. It's going to be a long story.

As mentioned previously (refer to post #102 on this thread, delivery date was set on 9th October, I double and triple confirmed with the person who called me, if they are really able to deliver my sofa on 9th October cos I do not want to waste a day of my leave and she said CONFIRMED.

2 days before delivery date, she called me again (which is within my expectation) saying that they can't deliver on 9th oct cos too many orders (as though I care about it). Insisted that I want the delivery to be done on 9th oct as agreed before, she kept on saying can not cos they haven't even started making my sofa, 3 weeks given and now they said they don't have enough time.

Argued with her on the phone and lastly she said the sofa will be delivered on 10th oct morning, agreed to it. Comes to 10th Oct waited for them the whole morning, she called me again during lunch time saying that morning can not deliver, will do it in the afternoon but can not confirm what time, promised to call back later to confirm.

After lunch time still not yet call back, I call her number and nobody pick up until 3pm. Called their showroom number and spoke to sales person Mr Brandon, he said the delivery department worked half day only on Saturday so that explains why nobody pick up my calls. I raised my voice talking to Mr Brandon and he hang up my call. Soon another person Ms Joanne (whom I believe is their marketing manager) called back and tell me they can't delivery the sofa, have to delay to a week later due to blah blah blah (lots of lame excuses).

At that time I really lost my temper and scolded her gao gao, I mean, really gao gao with some vulgar word. Eventually she said she will rush the factory to make my sofa immediately and deliver to me at night (9pm).

before 9pm she watsapp me saying that my sofa is done and she sent me some photo of the sofa, then only I realized the sofa design is not what I have agreed previously, there is no pull in button on the sofa! Again I shouted at her saying that the sofa design is wrong, it is supposed to come with the pull in button. She then mentioned that I wanted it to be WITHOUT the pull in button when I confirmed the delivery date 3 weeks ago. It's all bullshit and I told her I can show her the watsapp conversation with their delivery department to show that I wanted the sofa to come with pull in button.

She then said she will need to check and come back to me. Eventually she admit that it is their mistake that they 'thought' I didn't want the pull in button. End up the sofa still can not be delivered as they need to make a new one. By then I already lost my voice by shouting too much on the phone. She then offered to refund me half of the sofa price in order to compensate me.

After so much of argument and headache just to buy a sofa from them, I would advice people who plan to buy from them, if you do not have a strong heart and loud voice or arguing skill, DONT BUY FROM DEEP LIVING!

Thanks.

Never bother about Vonza & Deepliving after bad reviews from my friend who just got their dining table set & sofa from them.
Wrong color of sofa and table, scratches, etc from them.
Took few deliveries to settle everything.

Heard DeepLiving is the boss's son new shop.

Need it in January, it's time to request for immediate delivery.
Cost is getting higher soon, so better get it now instead of asking them to hold ur purchase til Jan.

bought my sofe and bed set from deep living roadshow in sunway giza end of last year.. made a deposit of RM2k and told them my house would only be ready sometime this year around september..


salesman told me the deposit can last for 12 months.. so i made the deposit in cash.. he gave me receipt.. a month before my house is ready i called up the number to confirm my deposit and they honored.. I also went to their showroom in One City to confirm again my design and colour and softness and everything la.. then set a date for delivery... I asked do I need to make full settlement and they say no need.. I can make payment again in 2 weeks time when the sofa is made or I can also COD..

I went back 2 weeks after confirming everything and was issued a fully paid receipt.. 3 days before delivery I received a phone call confirming delivery date and they asked how would I like to settle the payment.. I replied I've already made payment and gave them the receipt number for reference.. they then replied everything ok then.. thanks...

1 day before delivery.. another call by Deep Living asking the same thing.. I naik sikit angin and told them off that I've already made payment...

Day of delivery.. smooth and everything is beautiful.. but funny thing is that one of the free items that they are supposed to give me out of stock so they didn't deliver.. well it has been a month so tak kisah la..

Lesson.. if they ask if you have made payment.. just say yes.. FREE FURNITURE!!

Same.. the moment I saw so many negative reviews from d online..I have avoid VONZA because I saw one people posting on online that their leather sofa peeled off just for a few months which clearly indicates that they are using CHEAP a.ka. fake leather to make their sofa.. doh.gif doh.gif

huh.... here I am again to share my experience purchasing my sofa from Deep Living. It's going to be a long story.

As mentioned previously (refer to post #102 on this thread, delivery date was set on 9th October, I double and triple confirmed with the person who called me, if they are really able to deliver my sofa on 9th October cos I do not want to waste a day of my leave and she said CONFIRMED.

2 days before delivery date, she called me again (which is within my expectation) saying that they can't deliver on 9th oct cos too many orders (as though I care about it). Insisted that I want the delivery to be done on 9th oct as agreed before, she kept on saying can not cos they haven't even started making my sofa, 3 weeks given and now they said they don't have enough time.

Argued with her on the phone and lastly she said the sofa will be delivered on 10th oct morning, agreed to it. Comes to 10th Oct waited for them the whole morning, she called me again during lunch time saying that morning can not deliver, will do it in the afternoon but can not confirm what time, promised to call back later to confirm.

After lunch time still not yet call back, I call her number and nobody pick up until 3pm. Called their showroom number and spoke to sales person Mr Brandon, he said the delivery department worked half day only on Saturday so that explains why nobody pick up my calls. I raised my voice talking to Mr Brandon and he hang up my call. Soon another person Ms Joanne (whom I believe is their marketing manager) called back and tell me they can't delivery the sofa, have to delay to a week later due to blah blah blah (lots of lame excuses).

At that time I really lost my temper and scolded her gao gao, I mean, really gao gao with some vulgar word. Eventually she said she will rush the factory to make my sofa immediately and deliver to me at night (9pm).

before 9pm she watsapp me saying that my sofa is done and she sent me some photo of the sofa, then only I realized the sofa design is not what I have agreed previously, there is no pull in button on the sofa! Again I shouted at her saying that the sofa design is wrong, it is supposed to come with the pull in button. She then mentioned that I wanted it to be WITHOUT the pull in button when I confirmed the delivery date 3 weeks ago. It's all bullshit and I told her I can show her the watsapp conversation with their delivery department to show that I wanted the sofa to come with pull in button.

She then said she will need to check and come back to me. Eventually she admit that it is their mistake that they 'thought' I didn't want the pull in button. End up the sofa still can not be delivered as they need to make a new one. By then I already lost my voice by shouting too much on the phone. She then offered to refund me half of the sofa price in order to compensate me.

After so much of argument and headache just to buy a sofa from them, I would advice people who plan to buy from them, if you do not have a strong heart and loud voice or arguing skill, DONT BUY FROM DEEP LIVING!

Thanks.

fabric sofa. They require one month to customize the sofa and then 2 weeks delivery time if I am not mistaken. After reading these thread, i will call them to get the sofa ready as soon as I have finalized my home renovation concept. At least, I dont have to urge them for too many times I hope..... sweat.gif

deep living is everywhere doesnt mean that they have good reputation..haha. TBH, my parents bought a bed frame from ANOGEN few years ago which have quite a number of outlets too during that time, but recently I heard that they are closing down all the outlets (because of bad reputation like VONZA) and finally the company had bankrupt.. doh.gif

luckily we didnt have any issues with the bed frame at all till now, if let say we encounter problem.. then SHIT lo.. sweat.gif

I just ask for refund from Hatch by 3 weeks ago. boought from Hatch TTDI , 1st time deliver, wrong color, take back 1 week to do modified, (my house no sofa 1 week), the color is correct, and width and length become shorter, less 3 inches, height less 5 inches. rclxub.gif the salesman also do not understand why. and the boss refused to talk wit us. so, since wrong again, we request them to do a totally new sofa ( not modified from the current wrong size sofa again) after 2 weeks... wrong again hahah !! the size shorter again ... the salesman came our house again ... this time we asked for refund.. because drag too long time already and we gave a few chance to them.

we request the number from the boss. (since the boss all the time at the factory, and he said QC for sofa). the salesman refuse to give boss phone number for us. so no choice. we ask for refund immediately , because the driver wanna take back the whole set of sofa (current and new). From the start the boss do not want to refund immediately, after discuss and argue with the salesman, the boss refund immediately by bank transfer. (finally fully refund)

how we know the size become shorter? from the 1st day we paid for 4k for deposit, we took pic of the sofa and also the size. but unfortunately, we didnt mentioned the size on the tax invoice.


the acacia fabric sofa: 10k sharp.

Tip: if u gonna buy from them, must write down the size clearly on the Tax invoice and also the color, warranty.

THEIR BOSS VERY CUNNING. !!
My Webpage
they modified the sofa handle become longer.... X_X omg....... lol.....

nighmare! finally i go for vonza.... LOL

Please don't. I think I am the new victim. Bought a bed frame from them. Supposed to be solid wood bed frame with the price of RM2380 but turn out to be laminated wood frame.

I want to demand for replacement of real solid wood bed frame and not just repair by their in house technician.

Age of item: approx 1 month old

Deep Living just called me and said delivery delayed for a week. mad.gif

I told the lady that I had expected this to happen and relate to her that there were many people who complained about Deep Living in internet forums. She was apologetic (like always kena laser from customers).

I warned her that the company had better not screw up the delivery and the furnitures I ordered, else... bruce.gif

My nightmarish experience with Deep Living is finally over today.

They delivered the L Sofa to replace the one that came with the wrong colour and wrong pattern!

It took them close to 2 months to replace the L Sofa!

I'm relieved that the ordeal dealing with Deep Living is OVER!

I swear I will never buy any more furniture with Deep Living.

Shop with them if you really have to, but be prepared to get screwed by their delivery!

Do not buy from this company! Stay away from it because they will promise u many things that sounds so good but in the end they will NOT do as promised! They just bluntly ignore their promises! They failed to deliver on time and the product delivered will not be as expected. Horrible!

They promised to deliver our custom made king bedframe on a specific date, so we took a day off for delivery and when I called Vonza they had NO CLUE about my order! They said the marketing was done by a part time agent and they are unaware. If its your agent that u appointed, represents u, got your shirt on and everything, then it is YOU that is responsible! Imagine if we didn't call! Tahun depan baru dapat katil is it? My guest are arriving tomorrow and I don't have a proper bed because of VONZA!

So many delays and breach of promises! When we purchased it they said their factory was in Sg Buloh but now they're saying its in Johor and that's why they're late!! I don't care where your factory is! If u promised for it to be delivered on a certain date then u just deliver it on that day! Its 2018 and with more competition around u, don't expect your company to survive much longer with this kind of attitude! Horrible horrible horrible! Good enough I'm not suing u for compensation!

Do not buy from this company! Stay away from it because they will promise u many things that sounds so good but in the end they will NOT do as promised! They just bluntly ignore their promises! They failed to deliver on time and the product delivered will not be as expected. Horrible!

They promised to deliver our custom made king bedframe on a specific date, so we took a day off for delivery and when I called  Vonza they had NO CLUE about my order!

not sure about you but they're still surviving after so many years.

also rule of thumb is always expect delays. but as long within 1 month should be acceptable as long quality is delivered.

They have been MIA since months, even the secretary is unable to reach them.

Anyway, I've filed with Kpdnkk and they have issued a court order to Deep Living for refund. The officer told me to lodge a complaint to summon them if they don't pay me in full by next week.

I heard that Dato' Adriana Law, the managing director of Ideas Factory Sdn Bhd, the organiser and founder of Perfect Livin', is a buddy of the lady boss of Vonza Sdn Bhd. You can try to contact her and get her to resolve the problem for you.

No, I have yet to get a refund.

I was informed by a victim that we could get compensated from Vonza Sdn Bhd by offsetting the amount with their sample units.

I'm not willing to settle for this and am pursuing other resources. I'll appreciate if any can assist on this matter.

Are you a victim as well?

You can try the Small Claims Tribunal under Ministry of Domestic Trade & Consumer Affairs.

Pay RM10 to file the claim form - no lawyer fee, no representation by lawyers, just you and the company.

The award is similiar binding to that of a Court Order. Just make sure you have all the proper documentation.

What kind of claims can you file?
The following are examples of claims that you can file:

Refund of money paid for defective goods[/B]
Refund of wages/salaries paid for work that has not been carried out;
Claims for due commissions
Claims for payment on supplied facilities, rendered services or undertaken repairs.

Before you proceed with your claims, you should:

- Send a final letter to the other party, threatening court action.
- Set a time limit for the other party to pay compensation or reimbursement.
- If you still get nowhere, proceed to file your case in court.

It can work if the company still exists. If the company has closed down, then I don't think there is anything you can do.

After reading the posts here on Vonza Gallery, I thought I'd share my experience from June-July 2018 because who knows, some prospective customer might need this in spite of all the negativity thrown at the store.

To be honest I scared myself silly the day after I made the purchase. It all started with searching 'Vonza Gallery' on Google. The first result, even before its Facebook page, was this Lowyat thread. And I paid a deposit for 2x beds (mattress and frame) the day before after having met them at one of the Home Expos!

Of course I was concerned about having to go through hardship to get the beds delivered as per my request -- or worse -- trying to get a refund. It was stated in my Sales Order that I was to give them 2 weeks notice prior to delivery date. As such, I didn't contact them until about 3-4 weeks later when my house would be ready to receive the beds.

Soon enough I reached out to the store manager via call and WhatsApp and she so kindly attended to me, despite my multiple requests to either change date or confirm my chosen date. I did not give them 2 weeks notice as per the Sales Order (it was more like 1.5 weeks with a Public Holiday in between), and she obliged without hesitation.

I was also contacted by their Delivery Team via phone call and later on a WhatsApp text message to confirm our conversation. I was offered either to make balance payment via bank transfer or credit card (!!) and I was told that the lorry driver would call about an hour before the delivery.

I also made a special request to have the beds delivered before 1pm on a Saturday (the bane of staying in an apartment!) and lo and behold -- the beds arrived at about 10:30am. There were 3 workers (including 1 team lead, I'm assuming as he seemed more efficient and took the lead to communicate with me, and speaks pretty good English which is a plus point) who brought the beds up to my unit, and diligently set the beds up at their respective spaces.

However, because of delays by my contractor, my unit was still under renovation. Bad timing I know -- one of the workers raised that up too -- but it was necessary due to my tight schedule and I'll bear the brunt later with post-renovation cleaning (hope not!). So I told the 'team lead' not to remove the plastic layers covering the beds and he obliged. The workers did what they could to drill and set up the frames while minimising tearing of any of the plastic covers.

They took only about 15 minutes to put the beds up. And I made payment via a card machine (seriously so canggih already nowadays and it's safer than just bank transfer). I'm aware that delivery was free of charge but because the overall experience exceeded my expectations, I very conveniently gave them some cash for the hard work and keeping to their promise tongue.gif

To me, complaints always make it to the surface but compliments are rarely offered. From my standpoint, it was a job well done from the part of Vonza and their delivery staff.

Anyway I'm guessing some of you would be curious about my purchase. I bought the Devato full set package as per the website with freebies such as 2x memory pillows (an upgrade from foam they so graciously gave) and topper: http://goodnite.com.my/index.php/mattress/...ion/devato.html

Vonza Sdn Bhd and Vonza Gallery Sdn Bhd are two different companies. The director of Vonza Sdn Bhd used to be a director in Vonza Gallery Sdn Bhd but she has gone her separate way, meaning that she is no longer a director of Vonza Gallery Sdn Bhd.

With such bad publicity in the past , I wonder why the the owners still want to retain Vonza name.
