1: Furniture markup& Haverty's furniture is so tremendously marked up far more than any other furniture store. Take a piece that costs $999.00 in the store, Haverty's cost only $249.00. A piece selling for $1,999. Oo, again Haverty's cost is $599.00. A King Tempur-pedic Mattress that sells for $3,199, Haverty's paid only $1,299.00. You can buy 80%-90% of their product from another store if you know who makes it and all you have to do is just ask. They may give you the bull that it is a Haverty brand (Haverty's does not make any of their product).
2: Protection plan& This is called "Gold-in Home". Each salesperson is pressured to sell you this bogus plan and instructed to lie about what it does and how it works. This plan can cost you up to $699.00 and it does not do what it claims. Each salesperson can make up to 25% of the total cost if you purchase this worthless plan. If you buy this, kiss your money good-bye.
3: Delivery cost& Haverty's has raised their delivery charge from $49.95 to $199.99-$699.99. If anyone pays this, then shame on you.
4: "No-Haggle" policy& Haverty's has started a no-haggle policy meaning that the company is not going to lower their prices for anyone at anytime. Haverty's will tell you that you cannot buy their product anywhere else so you must pay what they are asking. This is bull. If you firmly ask who makes their product and get a company name, you can find the same item somewhere else at a fraction of Haverty's costs. If they claim that it is a "Haverty's" collection, be aware that Haverty's does NOT make any of their products. It is all made by other companies. You DO NOT have to pay what they are asking.
