Sent the wrong product

Ordered Aintree after requesting a couple of samples (the wrong ones sent twice) but received a cheaper product grand 30. And it arrived late.
Didn't know it was not what I ordered / a cheaper product until I finished the installation when there was a label on the inside of the carrier roll and I challenged the firm.
And it looks more shiny and doesn't brush out as well. Pretty pissed off after trying for weeks to get the right sample and the being sent the wrong (and cheaper) product. I expect at least a refund.
You'd think with a poor rating on here they'd try to improve.
Annoyed to say the least.
I won't offer a recommendation.

We are disappointed this transaction has not gone to plan. Unfortunately some issues with our stock and dispatch system. No tracking number was created, so can only assume an automated message via ebay. We saw a massive influx of orders, meaning we ran out of stock, as a result the customer was offered a full refund or to wait approx 7-10 days for new stock to arrive. Refund requested and subsequently issued. We apologise again for any hassle caused.

This.is the first time I have used this company and found them first class.
All enquiries were answered the same day, generally within an hour.
Product delivery times were spot on.
The product I bought was artificial grass, which was of excellent quality.
From my overall experience I would highly recommend this company.

2nd time just as good as the 1st

This is the second time I have used this company because I found them so good the first time. I ordered some outside rubber mats this time and the company even kindly gave me a discount to help with the purchasing of the product. Delivery was within 2 days and again the product, price and customer service was all absolutely excellent

PLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY DO NOT USE…

PLEASE TAKE ME SERIOUSLY DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Bought 3 rolls of the same grass on different occasions within a week or 2. Completely different grass arrived each time and not the sizes we ordered.

We are having to rip it all up now. We gave this company a good chance at sorting the problem but they ignored over 100 calls and promised call backs which never happened.

Their reviews across all platforms says it all. Bunch of gangsters.

I really want potential buyers to know how serious I am PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Have cost us thousands of pounds and we are now taking legal action for damages.

We are obviously disappointed that the transactions have not gone to plan. Unfortunately the grass rolls did not match. Customer informed us of this and we looked to resolve. The customer demanded that we send replacement on a next day service and give them £1000 compensation. Unfortunately as the customer is in Ireland and the next day would be Saturday, unfortunately this was not feasible for a 50Kg+ large item. We subsequently offered to resend, which would be 2 or 3 days over to Ireland, or collect all orders for a full refund. We are here to resolve issues and our mistakes, but certain demands are not always feasible. Obviously, we are not "gangsters". We fully admitted to mistakes with the grass, which we have looked to resolve. Customer was spoken to on the phone and emailed to confirm the situation. The items were not damaged, so not sure what reference to "damages" is. We are responsible for the items sent, for which we have tried to resolve. We are not responsible for any transactions outside of the product transaction.

Terrible company

Terrible company, appalling customer service and rude staff.
I bought 10 mats on 3 April for a mare who is due to foal and due to the Easter holiday agreed delivery on the following Tues. I didn't receive any confirmation of purchase or delivery from them so on the Tues called Tufnells to request.a rough idea of delivery. I was informed that there was nothing for me. I called Ark to be told it was a mistake and that they would investigate and call me back. They didn't and I called them to be told it was definitely out for delivery next day. The next day as I called Tufnells for a time slot and was again told there was nothing for me either at the.depot or out for delivery. I called Ark who said they would investigate and call back. They later advised that the Tufnells van had broken down and the items could not be recovered?!? Tufnells still advise that they did not have a delivery for me either in their depot or on a van. They also had no knowledge of a broken down van. I called Ark back and asked for a refund which they promised would be done straight away. I then ordered from 'Horsemat' who were fantastic and thoroughly professional. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Having read the reviews I do not believe they ever sent the mats and think they're just totally incompetent. The refund from Arkmat arrived 3 days later without any apology. Avoid this company.

We are obviously disappointed this transaction has not gone to plan. The courier, Tuffnells, unfortunately let us down with delivery. The refund was issued immediately, as soon as it was requested. As obviously all money details etc are handled by card company etc, we have no affect on speed of this. The mats were sent, if this was not the case, we would just be causing unnecessary hassle for us and customer.

Happy with grass but not logistics

The customer service replies fast. But to get my grass it has taken me over two weeks, it was a nightmare.
First and all the courier company they use is atrocious (impossible to track and contact)
I ordered two rolls of grass expected on Saturday and did not come until Tuesday and they brought me one roll I wanted but with the wrong measurements and a second roll was a different type of grass. Thus, they came at different times with the same tracking number.
I phoned and They kindly organised collection and replacement. The Rolls were meant to be collected on Thursday and they did not collect them until Tuesday. But the delivery man did turn up the following day after the first rolls arrived with a roll I did not order but was addressed to me which I refused to accept. When the courier finally arrived for collection and to make matters worse, the delivery man made an absolute mess of my newly compacted soil while dragging the rolls all over the garden, I told the courier company and Ark and they did not seem to bother. This has cost me money and time to fix.I never received any reply about the mess they caused even after reporting it and sending pictures.
The rolls I needed they finally arrived on Thursday. All in all, two weeks to get two rolls of grass with the constant contacting and hassle of chasing the whereabouts.
Although the company responded to calls and eventually got what I needed they have spoilt my soil which I had to fix and it has taken me two weeks. I have given them 3 stars because they replied.

We are sorry to hear the customer was not happy with the product. We do not recall and cannot locate any correspondence from the customer to inform us of any issues. We are here to help resolve any issues. Samples are also available prior to purchase, if requested. We send plenty of these particular mats to commercial and home gyms, with no issues. We also offer a large selection of other products. Obviously if unhappy with product, as I say, we are here to help. If product is deemed unsuitable, we wouldn't then advise placing items on top to then "put up with". Regards, Ark Mat.

DO NOT USE. FAIL TO DELIVER ON TIME!!

After arranging and paying for workers to come and do my garden this weekend, I ordered artificial grass 6 days ago from Arkmat with the delivery date of 2-3 days. Assuming it would arrive on Wednesday (I ordered it on a Sunday) I took the day off work to wait for the delivery but nothing turned up. I then had an email from Tuffnells on the Thursday morning at 0630 to tell me the delivery was on its way so I had to call work and take last minute unpaid leave to wait for the delivery. I sat in the house all day (I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant so I could’ve done with getting out of the house!!) and it didn’t turn up at all. I called Tuffnells at 1715 to ask what’s going on and the lady told me it was cancelled this morning.. yet nobody told me anything. I was understandably furious after now two days of leave for a service that couldn’t be fulfilled. She told me it would be delivered Friday. Again, I took another days leave and waited for them to turn up. I had the same email at 0630 to say it’s on its way, I called them in the morning, at 1500 and at 1750 to ask where the order was because shock horror it still hadn’t arrived. I was told every single time that it was still down as on its way. Obviously it didn’t ever turn up yet again. I now have workers in my garden who can only do half the job I’ve paid them for. I got an email this morning expecting them to deliver it today and it said it’ll be delivered on Monday!! 8 days after I’d ordered it!!
I understand that this is a Tuffnells issue, but I’ve been in contact with Arkmat and I feel like nothing has even been said to Tuffnells, they should’ve made sure they delivered on Friday, and after my email to them this morning they should’ve been on the phone trying to sort out a last minute delivery for this weekend at their expense.
I’m now having to pay extra for the workmen to come back and lay the grass next week (if it even turns up!!)
I am absolutely furious about the whole situation and I will never order anything from ArkMat again. Change your delivery drivers because they clearly can’t fulfill their duty and they lie to their customers numerous times.

Shocking incompetence

Product arrived, looked worn, grass falling apart. Courier could even get it off the truck without damage.

Asked for it to be returned as quality shocking, they agreed to return. That’s only the half of it, 20 emails later, time taken off work, 3 couriers.

And still it sits on my driveway waiting to be picked up and refund issued.

Behind hopeless.

Avoid at all costs

Customer was unhappy with product, (samples are available prior to purchase if requested), so we arranged a collection for it. Unfortunately 2 couriers let us down. They did however require some assistance with loading the item back on, as over 100kg and 2.5m long. Appreciate this was frustrating for customer, as well as us. We were trying to arrange this, but was difficult due to customer working. A 25% goodwill refund was initially issued, for it then to be collected the next day and a full refund issued.

Do not buy from this company…

If i could give this company a 0 I would.
They have handled delivery of goods in awful way. They sent faulty mats that do align with one another and have gaps in the middle. They agreed to arrange collection for mats for refund.
Did not arrange for the correct size delivery pallets. Had to manually load them myself. Ark have have been telling me for a whole week that collection will be made on that day. And then collection does not happen. I have had to close my gym for over week whilst this is being sorted. They are not refunding me either. Even though half the mats were collected on a 2nd attempt. The mats were marked and had an uneven surface. They looked second hand. I have been through a lot of mental distress by this company. And they are continuing to mess me around. Ignore calls and emails. The next step I am taking is legal action

We appreciate the customer is unhappy with the product and service. However some understanding of the quantity and size of items ordered as well as courier logistics appreciated. Customer has purchased 1.5 tonnes of rubber and is located in a busy, narrow road. This unfortunately causing issues with logistics in arranging return. Unfortunately courier drivers will not manually load and move each individual mat onto pallets, we have therefore tried to come to an agreement with the customer to acquire some help to move the mats. At time of writing, approx 50% of the mats have been collected and a 50% refund has been issued to the customer. We are speaking with couriers and our account managers to finalise details for final collection, after they let us down on previous arrangements. We are keeping customer informed at all times, we are not ignoring messages, we are responding to messages late into evenings, outside normal works hours to help resolve the matter ASAP. Repeat customer messages not helping to resolve any quicker (7 times per hour at one point of an evening). Unfortunately we are in the hands of couriers to resolve, for which they won’t always responded immediately, especially outside standard work hours. We ofcourse apologise and understand the customer’s frustration for the hassle caused. We will get resolved and customer will receive refund.

Great Service

I originally ordered 4 sample rubber tiles, which came shortly after ordering. I then purchased 15 tiles on Friday which were delivered to me on Monday. The tiles look and feel great. From my experience, I would not hesitate in ordering from Arkmat again.

Original order delayed with courier. Why would we lie about sending an item? only going to cause issues for us and customer. Replacement items subsequently sent express with DPD. Customer was sent tracking link, that clearly showed item had a scan in our local depot, on the evening of leaving us, yet customer still claiming we had not sent and again lied. Item then arrived next day. We can understand frustration due to original order not arriving on time, but we have done all we can to resolve issue and kept customer in the loop.

Outstanding service from Arkmat

Outstanding service. Had to buy rubber mats for a forthcoming Hot hub ( not a toy inflatable one). Was helped by Dan who was brilliant and very knowledgeable.
It was a long story but Dan sorted everything out for me, he picked and assured me about the product and availability.
When it arrived it was perfect. Well done Arkmat.Well done Dan.

We are disappointed that this customer was unhappy with their experience. Customer contacted us to inform us that their order had not arrived. We subsequently chased with courier, who advised lost. We then sent out an express replacement. Unfortunately, this was delayed. The courier networks are struggling, due to volumes in network and lack of staff/drivers for vehicles. We have apologised and kept customer in the loop at all times, but has failed to respond to our latest messages to confirm it's out for delivery.

Happy with service, purchased through eBay

Purchased 6 24mm EVA mats through eBay in January 2021. I’ve had the mats for 9 months and have even moved yards (and therefore relaid the mats) in that time. The mats have held their shape well, no bubbling, stretching or damage. I am very pleased and would recommend. Delivery was quick and free.
