Can't fault Lynda on the day in store ordering the goods. Excellent customer service skills - credit where it's due. As for after sales and won't-give-me-his-surname-Craig: abysmal. Failed on mattress... See more

I would not hesitate to buy from Blackbridge again. Communication was excellent from start to finish. The quality of the bed is second to none. Thank you very much for an amazing service.

Hugely disappointing

29th Sept, having found the bench cushion I wanted at a great price at Blackbridge Furnishing (delivery included) I paid. 1st October I received at call from Blackbridge saying that though their website didn’t say so, they don’t deliver to England. “Because we just don’t”. Told I’d have a refund in 5 days. Wrote to ask them to reconsider, not least because this behaviour is a breach of contract. No reply. No refund 9 days later.

Great Customer Service

We have previously bought from Blackbridge Furnishings before and when needing a new sofa,living room and bedroom furniture found them to still be the best furniture shop in Inverness. We experienced excellent customer service from Fiona and team. The new store has a great range of products and would recommend to anyone to have a look round.

Great Service

We are very pleased with our kitchen table and chairs from the new Blackbridge Store in Inverness. We were greeted by Alex who did a great job of of showing us round and dealing with the sale all on his first week too. Always our first port of call for furniture and the store is looking great. Our thanks to Alex and a mention also for your delivery drivers who were very friendly and polite.

Kept up to date all the way

Kept up to date all the way. Lovely product.
Did have a problem with the headboard as it arrived slightly damp and when dried out it did leave a stain company sent out a replacement.
Highly recommend the company and the service.

The company do not meet deadlines given and dumped our furniture delivery on the doorstep.

We ordered Tuscan bedroom furniture online in Dec and paid in full. It did not say out of stock on the website. We received a phone call next day advising it was out of stock and expected delivery was end Jan. We decided we would wait until then for delivery as it was a matter of weeks and Blackbridge were one of the few companies to stock the brand. The furniture arrived on March 13th. It was delivered by artic lorry on a pallet by one person. It was dumped on the roadside at our front door and my 68 year old husband was left to bring the furniture into the house. The heaviest item was 9 stone. The delivery consisted of two oak chest of drawers, two bedside cabinets and a double oak bed. Re the delay in delivery, Blackbridge did communicate by phone and advised the delays were due to ships being unable to dock that were carrying the furniture. This happened repeatedly. When contacted re the poor delivery, on the day, the member of staff advised it was supposed to be a two man delivery to bring the furniture into the house. They were advised this was not what happened with the delivery. My husband e mailed the sales dept at Blackbridge furniture on March 20th advising of the issues at time of delivery, and that at 68 years he had been left to bring the furniture into the house from the roadside by himself. No response received!! Not even a letter, e mail or apology. A company that does not fulfil deadlines they provide, nor do they care regarding the delivery to customers. They don’t even have the manners to apologise!

I would not recommend this company and will not use this company again. Very disappointing!!!!

Unfortunately Blackbridge Furnishings response to this feedback is also reflective of externalising blame to the customer with reference to their T&C’s. It would also appear that there is a lack of staff training and communication of their T&C’s to staff.

It was Blacbridges own staff member that advised the furniture would be delivered by a local firm and also that it should have been a two man delivery. No mention of the National firm mentioned, or pallet delivery. The furniture would not have been purchased from them if that had been the case. Simply citing T&C’s is an externalisation of responsibility and lack of investigation to the issues outlined.

It would appear, from the response received, that their is now doubt shed on whether the sales communication during the pathway of purchasing the goods, appears to be a false communication in order to make the sale.

Dear Mrs Steptoe
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience you encountered with your recent purchase of our Tuscan bedroom furniture.
We understand your frustration regarding the delay in delivery and the subsequent issues with the delivery process. While we strive to provide accurate information about stock availability and delivery timelines, unforeseen circumstances such as delays in shipping can unfortunately occur. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
Regarding the delivery experience, we understand your concerns about the furniture being delivered by one person and left at the roadside. We want to clarify that as per our terms, deliveries made by national carriers are indeed carried out by one person and delivered to the front door. Larger deliveries are placed on a pallet and delivered to the front door. We apologize if this was not communicated clearly to you beforehand, but it is noted on our website T&C “7.11 Deliveries made by national carriers will be delivered by one man and delivered to your front door. Larger Deliveries will be put on a pallet and delivered to the front door.”
We regret any inconvenience caused to your husband in bringing the furniture into the house. We will review our delivery processes to see if there are any improvements that can be made to ensure a smoother delivery experience for our customers.
Furthermore, we apologize for the lack of response to your email regarding the delivery issues. This does not reflect the level of customer service we aim to provide, and we are committed to addressing and resolving any concerns you may have.
We value your feedback and will use it to improve our processes and better serve our customers in the future. If there is anything further we can do to assist you or if you would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.
Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to regain your trust in the future.
Sincerely
Blackbridge Furniture

Poor quality furniture and the majority…

Poor quality furniture and the majority of items bought (12 items)were damaged on delivery. This meant time off work waiting for replacements and pick up of damaged goods. Very annoying and time wasting as some replacements arrived different weeks!
Customer service very poor and made to feel bad about it.
Would not recommend or deal with them again!
