My wife and i went to Shrewsbury branch today to look at purchasing a mobility scooter. We were very well looked after by Mark who showed us various scooters and my wife tried some out to see which one suited her needs. We are very happy with our scooter and im sure we will find it invaluable. Thank you again Mark for spending so much time with us to make sure we were happy with our purchase.

Hi Glen,

Thank you for submitting your review. Naturally we are disappointed that you felt the need to leave a post of this nature, and sorry that you feel that you have been left disappointed.

Due to the inherent nature of memory foam mattresses, they are designed to hold the impression of the body when weight is applied to help support the body. This is not a fault of the product and as such no blame was made, the manufacturer simply advised you how the mattress works on their visit so you can prevent this in the future.

We understand that our engineering department did inform you that we would be happy to send an engineer out for the hinge bracket repair and it was discussed that a callout charge would only be applicable if the repair was not found to be a warranty issue. We also understand that after this discussion took place, you decided to look to repair the issue yourself. Ableworld provide a full warranty with our products but we do like to be open and honest with our customer, just incase a repair is found not to be a warranty issue, so our customers are prepared if this is the case.

Please do not hesitate to contact support@ableworld.co.uk if you require further assistance or have any questions.

All feedback from our customers is appreciated, good or otherwise, as we do strive to make our customers experience a positive one and your feedback is enormously valuable to us, so we greatly appreciate you taking the time to submit your review.

Kind and informative throughout the whole process

This was the first time I had to buy a riser chair and the people I spoke to couldn't have been more helpful, informative and reassuring - both in person and over the phone. The two guys who delivered it (Dave and Tom) really took their time to explain the functions of the chair - to my mum - who is suffering from Dementia and has mobility issues. They were so kind and ended up leaving the chair with her there and then- a very smooth transaction indeed. Would highly recommend.

Great customer service

Peter was a great help when we were looking for a wheelchair for my Mum. He asked what was important to us, he talked us through our options, and he gave us chance to try out different models, including in the boot for size. He was very professional, personable and knowledgeable. This is our second time purchasing from the Wigan store (stair lift last time) and we'll be back in future.

Good quality items at reasonable prices

Ordered by phone, very friendly staff, Sarah was very helpful and arranged for the items to be delivered asap. I purchased two Ziggy adjustable walking sticks in a lovely gunmetal grey with Derby handles and I couldn’t be more pleased. The quality is excellent. Would definitely recommend this shop.

Avoid if you are buying electrical items.

They are lovely to you when you buy the piece of crap they are selling you, but turn on you the moment you have a problem with it! If you get a problem with your item they will blame you for it and try to worm out of giving you any sort of proper help. They sold me a "pavement scooter," and then said that it constantly broke down because it went over little bumps in the pavement and the drop curbs! A pavement scooter should be able to handle a pavement! The customer service was shocking, I was called a liar. Then they said that as a "gesture of goodwill" they would send me some extra equipment to fix the battery down better, but they haven't even sent that yet. The whole thing caused my stress levels to go through the roof and now I am having a major flare up of my symptoms. If you purchase from these people, don't expect their help if anything goes wrong. The people who work in the shops are lovely though, so if you just needed some wipes or pads you would be fine

Hi Holly,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced with your scooter and the distress it has caused you. This is certainly not the experience we want any of our customers to have.

We want to clarify that it is never our intention to make any customer feel blamed or unsupported. If you were made to feel that way, we sincerely apologise. That is not reflective of the standards we aim to uphold.

Regarding the "gesture of goodwill" equipment that was promised to you, these have been placed in the post for you and will be arriving shortly.

All feedback from our customers is appreciated, good or otherwise, as we do strive to make our customers experience a positive one and your feedback is enormously valuable to us, so we greatly appreciate you taking the time to submit your review.

We were looking for a Mobility Scooter for my husband, and required one which would fit into the boot of our car. We went to the Shrewsbury Branch and met Mark who was very understanding and helpful. Listened to what we needed and suggested a couple of models for us to try. We decided on one which was easy to breakdown/ light weight and comfortable. Just the job. So bought put into the boot and off we went. No problem.

Dene at Ablewold Southampton

I had been looking for a particular powerchair and having great difficulty. An advert came up on facebook for Ableworld. I rang the Southampton shop and from the first contact Dene was brilliant. Than went to them and again could not fault the service. Highly recommended.

Good info and no pressure

Needed a power chair with attendant control and our first stop was Ableworld St Helens where we have shopped before.
Sadly the range for attendant controlled was extremely limited but Chris showed us the model and was extremely patient with our questions and got a model in with the control for attendant on and we were able to try it out.
No hassle and no pressure and we left with my new power chair. Top marks Ableworld and Chris.

The bad weather and my health delayed us using it but finally used it and delighted how much easier it’s made both our lives.

It’s so light for hubby to lift in and out of car and easy to use.
Can’t wait for a real day out now.

Chris is a lady by the way 🤗
