AI Highlights
  • - Customer bought 2 packs of MainStays 100-count pins; each pack had 50, and they want either 100 more or refunds for both packs.

I went into Walmart and purchased 2 packs of your MainStays 100 count clothes pins. Because I needed 200 clothes pins for a project.

When I opened one package there were only 50 pins. I purchased 2 packs because of the amount shown on the front of the packs.

I refuse to pay for more clothes pins to have the same thing to happen again. I request you send me the other 100 or my money back for both packages without me returning them to the store.

Mainstays is now a big part of Walmart and their products are the worst. And they tried to charge me for the damaged product.

I had to call and call Walmart who was able to resolve my issue with Mainstays. I will watch my billing to make sure they did not charge me AGAIN

Original review Aug 31, 2026

Ordered a Round Memory Foam Toilet seat. The first one had all kinds of Wrinkles in the material.

I returned the item for a replacement. The replacement was Worse with holes in the material. Disgusting.

I tried to call customer service- they claim to send a verification code and 17 minutes later- NO CODE. SO NO CUSTOMER SERVICE

I bought three utensils that I needed. Everything that's hooked up is hidden by cardboard, but they were the three kitchen items I needed.

I got home and had to get all those plastic ties off, which I did. Then I got the three utensils I needed, and they're hooked together with a keychain. Like, what the f?

I don't need a keychain on these. This is the worst mainstay product I ever bought!

Preferred solution: Full refund

Dear Customer Service,

We purchased Mainstays memory foam Futon from Walmart in 17 Aug 2025. According to the product brochure and specifications, the sofa is advertised to support 600 lb load weight.

However, despite normal use and well within the expected weight limit, we experienced a serious issue with the product.

While my husband was sitting on the sofa, we suddenly heard a very loud cracking sound from underneath the couch, and one of the support springs/frame components broke.

We reached out to Walmart regarding this issue, and they informed us that because the product is still within the one-year warranty/return period, the item may qualify for replacement with a new sofa. Walmart advised us to contact the manufacturer directly to proceed with the warranty process.

Could you please guide us on the next steps and let us know what information or documents you require from us?

We would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and support. We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Amir Taghavipour

Order Number: 600000*-***89359

Loss:
$269

Preferred solution: It is not usable and we get backache while sitting on the sofa. Is it possible to get a new one and return the impaired one with no mailing cost. Otherwise, I am interested in full refund.

Hello

My name is Kim Riley and I purchased a Mainstays 2-tier Tripod Drying Rack (DRYW06866). My husband has Alzheimer's and I use the rack in his room to put his clothes (I have to put things out in the open so he can find them).

However, the bottom of the drying rack broke. I am not sure if he knocked it over; he just came to me and said that it wouldn't stand up. Is it possible for me to buy the broken piece (it has 'A' in my owner's manual)?

I don't feel it is fair to return it to the store since it wasn't broken when I bought it.

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Pros:
  • Reasonable price and they do usually do a good job
Cons:
  • None so far

Preferred solution: buy replacement bottom

User's recommendation: Hoping the company can assist me. It is such a nice rack

  • - Only the pillow covers are good; the rest is unsatisfactory, and a replacement is requested.
Updated by user Aug 30, 2026

Don't by because they don't care about what the customer concern are with they defective product. I'm very unhappy about the no reply or refund on the problem

Original review Aug 15, 2026

This comforter set that was bought for me during my healing of receiving a kidney is the worst. The sheets for my king don't fit; it's too big.

Even using my sheet straps, they still slide, move, and come off. The only good, and I mean the only good part to this set is the pillow covers. Everything about the sheets and comforter is terrible, terrible. I wish I had the receipt; the store would take it back ASAP.

That's how bad it is. I feel you, the company that makes it, should send me a new one for my inconvenience during my healing process.

Loss:

Cons:
  • Are terrible

Preferred solution: Full refund

AI Highlights
  • - The AI chat couldn't solve the problem and was monotone.
  • - They wanted a human to fix the order and felt limited by AI.

The ai chat agent couldnt solve my problem and just had me blabbing about nothing. Asked for a person when got tired of monotone responses and just pretty much summed up the best help i was going to get was through the ai chat. Felt frustrated this is the only way to go because i do want to get my order fixed but feels like its not achievable due to ai's limited functionality of getting me a person!
