A very welcoming experience

A very welcoming experience. We didn’t feel pressured into purchasing anything. Bridget was extremely helpful, gave good advice & answered all our questions. A demonstration & trial run outside the shop were also very welcomed.

Poor website service

I wanted the Bill slippers for my husband he already had a pair which he loved and so wished to replace them. I went to Hyde Ableworld 05/03/2026 which is a 5 minute drive, but they were out of stock, they didn’t know when stock would be in and to try the website. The website had the size listed I wanted, and because my husband was set on these I was prepared to pay the almost £7.00 postage. I then get an email to say they were limited and send when they had a pair- I’m still waiting!
My grudge is against the website and not the shop which is great. Firstly why allow me to purchase when the item is clearly not available, and secondly why the extortionate postage?

Hi Margaret Firstly, we would like to thank you for your review. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience resulted in a 1-star rating.

After speaking with the store manager, we can confirm that the stock has now arrived in store. The manager will be contacting you by email today to arrange for the delivery to be processed and dispatched to you.

We sincerely apologise for the delay you have experienced. Unfortunately, this was due to stock availability from the manufacturer, which was outside of our control. However, we’re pleased that this issue has now been resolved and that your order will be on its way shortly.

We regularly review our postage charges against those of our competitors and aim to keep them as competitive as possible while maintaining the level of service our customers expect. Our delivery charges have remained unchanged for some time, as we do our best to avoid increasing costs wherever possible.

We truly value all feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us improve and continue providing the best possible experience for our customers.

Take Care,
Ableworld

Walker

We visited Ableworld to buy a walker for my Mum. Peter & Julie could not have been more helpful. They showed us several models, demonstrated all the features and made suggestions for the best ones. From their advice she was able to try several types before choosing the most appropriate one.
Great service.

Online experience not great

I didn't like the on line ordering process. It was unclear until payment was almost complete what the carriage charge would be and it stated that I would be informed of despatch date and delivery. Apart from telling me it would be delivered by Parcelforce there was no communication regarding delivery and it therefore just turned up at my mothers house without me being able to share any information with her - not idea for a 94 year old lady who lives alone.

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

As with most online purchases, the delivery charge is displayed during the secure checkout process, where customers are shown a full breakdown of the items ordered along with the applicable carriage charge.

Once an order has been dispatched, it can be tracked through Parcelforce. Email updates are also sent to the email address used when placing the order, which normally includes the estimated delivery date for the recipient.

If you would like us to review your order or assist further, please don’t hesitate to contact us at support@ableworld.co.uk and a member of our team will be happy to help.

We genuinely value all feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us learn, improve, and continue providing the best possible experience for our customers.

Take Care,
Ableworld

Great company

Handicare fitted a stairlift for mum but sadly out of guarantee did not want to know unless I took out a service contract.
I rang Ablemobility in Bridgend, they sent out Daniel 2 hours later. Daniel had to replace badly leaking batteries, he serviced and cleaned the outer of the stairlift all at a very reasonable cost.
Daniel is a credit and great advert for the team, he even made mum laugh and as she was worried about her lifeline chair was a task in itself.
Thank you Daniel and Ablemobility who in this world of companies are a shining beacon.

We had a Scooter break down yesterday

We had a Scooter break down yesterday. We were extremely stressed and needed some urgent help. Tom was absolutely brilliant, exceptional Care, Help, Patience and Customer Service. Nothing was too much trouble. Tom went the extra mile and beyond when he lent us a wheelchair to get to an urgent Dental appointment. Eva was also very friendly, helpful and patient. Thank you so much. We would highly recommend this store. Kathryn Hall & Annemarie Slack.

Went to Ableworld Crewe to purchase a mobility scooter, I just wanted to say how fantastic the service was. Jonathan and Amy were both extremely knowledgeable - especially Jonathan who really went above and beyond. When I went to collect my new scooter I wasn’t able to lift the scooter into the car myself , but he took care of everything without hesitation. Nothing was too much trouble even Amy brought a chair to the desk whilst paying etc as I cannot stand for very long. They both made me feel completely at ease, I can’t thank them enough.

Paisley Store

I recently made a purchase from your store in Paisley and I want to congratulate you on the superb staff you have in store, the ladies are exceptionally good at what they do. Friendly, knowledgeable, patient and have the sill of making you feel like they care about you and sincerely want to help. I have no reservations about recommending them to anyone who needs any form of advice/help with mobility needs and will certainly be a returning customer.

Hi Richard, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re very sorry to read about your experience following the purchase of your powerchair from our Christchurch store in May 2025. We completely understand how frustrating and concerning it must be to have difficulty obtaining a replacement battery, especially for such an important piece of mobility equipment.

This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we would very much like the opportunity to look into this matter further for you. There may be additional options or solutions available that we can explore to help resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

If you’d like to discuss this further or need any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [support@ableworld.co.uk](mailto:support@ableworld.co.uk). Our team will be happy to help.
