Boards were damaged and only give 24 hours to "inspect" - think this is a bit of a cop out from the compnay's side.

Daniella,

First let me apologise that you received a damaged board. In order to claim for any damages from our couriers (as we ensure that all products leave our warehouses in perfect condition), we ask our customers to check the items for obvious signs of damage when taking receipt of the order or within the first 72 hours of receipt. We do understand that this isn't always possible and we try to be as flexible as possible. We pride ourselves on getting things right and if any customer receives a damaged item we will of course do our upmost to replace and collect the items.

If you do require any more help with your order please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team who will be more than happy to assist.

Best Regards
Boards Direct

Nice Boards

I've had a glass board from this website before and they seem to have a good range so I ordered again when mine broke. The one I ordered wasn't in stock so they called me to ask if I wanted to wait or get a different colour so I chose a different colour and it was delivered pretty quickly. The board is lovely in my kitchen.

Missing parts, no instructions, but great service recovery!!!

What a great recovery from Boards Direct!!! On opening the packaging there were no instructions and a few parts were missing and I was very irritated. On contacting Boards Direct, they responded immediately by sending me instructions and replacement parts. Great service recovery and great product and so I would strongly recommend ordering from Boards Direct!

Craig,

I am sorry that you received an incomplete package from us. This is certainly not the norm but I understand your frustration completely. I believe we have provided assembly instructions and replacement parts. We are reviewing the particular manufacturer of the board to ensure that all items and instructions are with the items and whilst we believe your experience to be a rare instance I again apologise for the inconvenience this has caused.

Best Regards
Carl

A diabolical fiasco

A diabolical fiasco. I ordered 2 mobile drywipe boards to go to our client to be delivered to their two addresses which are literally around the corner from each other. The boards were not delivered on time, They were ordered on friday and not delivered until wednesday and as I write this review one is still missing! The explanation for their non arrival was a carrier problem. I cannot fault Robin in sales who dealt with the fiasco, he was very helpful and apologetic and the customer service is very good. May I suggest a change of carriers!

Great quality and excellent customer service

The whiteboard arrived very well packaged, and it is of excellent quality. There was an initial problem with the faulty pens and a whiteboard eraser, but Ashleigh-Beth resolved it quickly and provided superb customer service.

Exceptional customer service

This is the first time I've used Boards Direct. I ordered three snap frames, A4, A2 and A1 size for my sons to display their artwork in their bedrooms. Once placing the order I received an email confirmation promptly. After a few days I realised I had no idea when to expect the frames so I replied to the order confirmation and received a prompt reply advising of the expected delivery date. The frames arrived as expected. All three boxes appeared undamaged and the goods were easy to put up. We spotted a slight tear in the perspex of the A1 frame and I replied to the email confirmation with a photo. I received a very prompt reply advising that a replacement had been ordered and when to expect it. Admittedly I have not received the replacement yet but I have no reason to doubt that it will turn up on time going on my experience so far. Well done to all involved. I will be ordering more frames as they look very smart and modern.

Excellent customer service

Ordered a very large frame from Boards Direct yesterday but then noticed that the delivery was 3-4 weeks. Rang the company and spoke to a very helpful guy called Robin who arranged a quicker delivery from another supplier. 24 hrs later, my frame arrived! Excellent customer service.

I learn more about a business when they…

I learn more about a business when they get it wrong than if they get it right after all their attitude to fixing what is wrong tells me how much they care and their attitude to how much they care and their ability to truly look after me.
My product arrived and had been broken in transit, however, I was not able to find this out till after the guarantee had expired (of course).
I spoke to the lovely team at Boards Direct and they sorted it. No fuss, no fight, no its too late, an empathy you rarely see and they sorted it out. That is what I want and need so would I use them again? Absolutely and would I recommend them, A BIG YES to that too. They deserve the business so if you need to order anything like a board then get yourself over to them and purchase what you need because they do what they say they will do which is to look after their customers! A BIG THANK YOU.

True to their word - Excellent customer service

Two deliveries for the same item didn't arrive and were well overdue so I emailed to cancel the order. The same day I received a phone call from the MD apologising and promised to rectify the situation. It appeared that the original order and the replacement had been despatched but for some reason were lost in transit. True to his word, 24 hours later a replacement item was delivered by overnight courier. Excellent customer service. How many companies would provide this level of care? I will definitely use this company for any future supplies.

Would buy again

I normally distrust 5 star reviews, but I am a real customer! I had a great experience ordering from Boards Direct, quality products, expertly shipped quickly. They also were able to advise alternatives.

One tip from my experience - check you are 100% sure you know how to mount the board on the wall, they can be very heavy and it might be quite difficult.
