I have had nothing but positive…

I have had nothing but positive experiences. Most recently at the Northwich branch I’ve had multiple phone calls with grace and Louise.

And seen Russell when I was in store.

my power chair is behaving very oddly! But they have listened, made suggestions and are going out of their way to enable me to try manual wheelchairs to help me have some sort of backup just in case my power chair needs to go away to be looked at.

I understand they are shortstaffed at the moment and they seem to be playing Musical stores! However, they are all friendly, kind and keen to help! And I massively appreciate the ability to phone up and speak to a person!

Thank you!

Hi Liz, thank you for taking the time to share your experience.

We’re delighted to hear that Grace, Louise and Russell were able to support you during what must be a frustrating time with your power chair. When equipment isn’t behaving as it should, it’s so important to feel listened to and supported, and we’re really pleased the team could offer practical suggestions and arrange for you to try manual wheelchairs as a back-up option. Your independence and peace of mind are always our priority.

We also genuinely appreciate your understanding regarding staffing at our Northwich branch. The team are working incredibly hard, sometimes across different stores, and your patience and kindness towards them will mean the world.

Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback.
Kind Regards,
Ableworld

Delivery was delayed, product disappointed

Price of the underwear was competitive but the delivery was delayed, sadly however from a performance point of view (leakage), the underwear did not perform as expected, but the quality of the product in terms of its look and feel is good.

Fantastic Experience

I took my elderly Mum into Ableworld Bridgend this morning and received an amazing service from Adam and Becki. They're both very knowledgeable about the products they sell and spent time explaining the pros and cons of the different mobility scooter models. They gave demonstrations on the folding mechanisms and allowed my Mum to try to lift it in and out of the boot of our car. A fantastic experience; thank you both very very much.

Went to Ableworld Wigan this last week…

Went to Ableworld Wigan this last week looking for a 3 wheeled walker that was light and easy to fold and unfold. Peter and Julie were so knowledgeable and helpful and helped me to try several different ones. I was able to find one that suited my needs perfectly and that I was able to manage without any assistance. Finally , I can now get out and about independently.

Ableworld Wigan 10/10

What a fantastic experience I had with Ableworld Wigan this week. I sought advice with Julie three times on the telephone, and met Peter in store. The advice I was given, whilst searching for a support aid for an elderly parent was brilliant. Clear, knowledgeable, deep understanding of the products and clear expertise in their field. The store has loads of gadgets in it, so there’s always something to look at. I couldn’t be happier with my experience there this week.

Fab customer service.

I took my elderly neighbour to Ableworld in Woolston, Southampton to get her walker fixed and she was very happy with the service she received. They didn’t even charge her for fixing a new knob to enable her to adjust the handles on her walker. The assistant ‘Peter’ was very helpful and friendly, as were all the staff. Great customer service. The shop was well organised with a great range of aids. We would highly recommend Ableworld.

Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful

Fantastic, I spent 2 hours with Alex trying several scooters outside to check how they perform over humps and bumps. No pushy seller anything like that he was very knowledgeable about all the products on show and helped me to make up my mind on which scooter to buy

I have Stage 4 cancer which is affecting my mobility and so I’m not able to get around as well as I used to. I set up a GoFundMe fundraiser last year. Thanks to the very generous donations received from family and Facebook friends I was today able to buy a mobility scooter. Many thanks to Allyson and Roy ❤️

Home Repairs for parts under warranty cost £70 for call out

Most of the reviews that I have read are for how helpful the staff were when making a sale. The negative reviews are for the after sales which is my experience of my purchase of a stairlift. In the first year I had a fault which was fixed. Then the part of the chair that you pulled to use to go up and down the stairs stopped working and I had to use the remote control. I told the person who came to serve it about 14 months after purchase. He said the problem was actually related to the gadget that keeps the seat belt in place but he needed to check that I had a 3 year warranty which I did. He replaced it with another one which unfortunately has come apart a few times whilst going up the stairs. I ended up putting elastic bands around it to secure it. I have been unwell and in hospital and only felt like dealing with this now. The attitude of the lady answering the phone was neither friendly or apologetic about the problem that I was having. All she wanted to make sure of was that I had a parts warranty and to tell me that I had to pay a £70 call out charge. I live 5 mins from their shop. They give you their call out charges in their information package but I thought that as I had a warranty this would be done without a call out charge. This should be made clear on their receipt. It should be written that this 3 year parts warranty is reliant on the customer paying a £70 call out charge, more if you live more than 10 miles from the shop. So I have a stair lift that not long after it's first year has had two repairs and a part that is being held together with elastic bands.

Hi Doris, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re very sorry to hear about the ongoing issues you’ve had with your stairlift and the frustration this has caused, particularly given your recent ill health. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

We appreciate you outlining the faults you’ve experienced and understand how concerning it must be to rely on a product that has required multiple repairs. We’re also sorry to hear that you felt the manner of our telephone support was unsympathetic, we take this feedback seriously and will be addressing it with the team.

Regarding the warranty, we regret if the call-out charge was not made clear at the point of purchase. While the three-year warranty covers parts, a standard call-out fee does apply, and we acknowledge that this should be communicated more clearly in our documentation and receipts. Your comments on this are very helpful and will be reviewed internally.

We would genuinely like the opportunity to resolve this matter properly for you. Please contact us directly at support@ableworld.co.uk
so we can look into your case in detail and discuss how we can assist further.

Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us improve our service for all customers.

Kind Regards,
Ableworld
