Misleading sale & unsanitary used…
Misleading sale & unsanitary used product: DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS STORE!
We purchased a mattress from Sleep Shop Richmond after visiting in person and being explicitly assured it was new - just discounted due to lack of warranty.
What we received was visibly used, soiled with large yellow/red-brown stains, torn, and clearly unsanitary - with absolutely no disclosure of prior use or damage.
When we saw the delivery truck still on our street and called to have the mattress returned immediately, the delivery team refused, stating their boss, Farouq Manji, had told them not to come back. Farouq later denied giving that direction, claiming he never spoke to the drivers.
Farouq Manji initially told us it was a company error that we received this mattress and admitted it was a used, damaged, and soiled return - but when asked where the mattress we had actually purchased was, if this wasn’t it, he eventually acknowledged that this was in fact the mattress they had advertised and sold to us under false pretenses.
The dirty used mattress remains in our home.
This was a deeply disappointing and unsafe experience, and a clear breach of consumer trust, health standards, and basic business ethics.
I have submitted a formal complaint to the Competition Bureau and intend to file additional reports with Consumer Protection BC, given this company’s pattern of advertising used and returned mattresses as new on online platforms like Facebook Marketplace - inducing purchases under false pretenses and profiting through deceptive sales.
This store cannot be trusted. You are better off shopping anywhere else.
