Door took weeks to arrive. Comms were poor, no updates given unless chased several times. Don’t order if you need anytime soon.

A positive experience…

Despite some of the bad reviews on here, my experience was entirely positive. I ordered a half-glazed door off the website but told the company we were going away during the anticipated delivery date and so wanted it delivered on a specific date when we were back. It was delivered on time. The carpenter who fitted the door for us said it was of good quality.

Dave’s Doors site is super easy to navigate and get yourself around, it’s clear where everything is to browse. There’s a great selection of doors and frames to choose from too. The design section allows you to easily select colours and style and then quickly view to see if it’s as you imagined it would look. Top site!

Good products and reasonable prices. Delivery times are also pretty quick comparatively to other companies I have looked at for these products.

Thanks very much

Avoid this company!

The door hardware was not delivered. Nobody answers the phone or responds to email, and the chatbot just died.

The wrong hardware was delivered the second time. Since then no communication from you and no refund. I had to purchase the hardware myself so very much out of pocket.

Waste of time and money

I am still waiting for a weather board which was ordered a paid for 2 months ago. The door was delivered fine. I had to pay extra postage on the hardware because they had not paid sufficient postage to get it delivered which delayed it by 2 weeks.
I have tried to get the weatherboard as they don't answer phones or respond to emails 'live chat' is the only chanel open to me, and have been told it will be here next week twice, that was 4 weeks ago. I have asked for a refund but still nothing.
Massive waste of time and money

Delivered a damaged door

Delivered a damaged door, won't take back or refund.

No one answers the phone, when I ask about it on the live chat I get ignored and no one is replying to my email.

If this continues I'm going to be forced to take legal action. Looking at the other trust pilot review I am not the only person who has had this issue. Avoid at all costs!

I cancelled my order as the company…

I cancelled my order as the company failed to provide me a delivery date on the 5+ occasions I contacted them - both on email and the ‘chat’ facility.

At least twice i messaged the ‘chat’ bot with no response. The person that rang me initially assured me that she would give me a delivery date and said ‘there was a problem with suppliers’. I explained the urgency and stated i would need to consider cancelling in the circumstances. I also explained that the ‘chat’ facility was very poor with no contact and she promised to ‘feed that back’.

They then sent me my OWN email back stating ‘confirmation of email received’ with NO date.

The only time I then received human contact (the same person) was when in my frustration I put a poor review online. At that stage I asked that they email me a date for delivery which the caller promised to do by the Thursday of that week - this again never happened.

I had no choice then but to contact my credit card and cancel as i had absolutely no indication when the door would arrive (or whether I had actually been scammed). I needed to seek an alternative, as work was being held up by the delay.

Having cancelled the order (still no contact from Dave’s Doors at that stage) a door subsequently arrived some days after - again ….no email/contact whatsoever to state it had been sent and (provided from another well know supplier i note) and luckily someone was home to receive it.

It now has pride of place on my dining room floor until the old door that was temporarily since repaired due to this issue (and i have in situ currently) is taken off!

I have since had numerous emails and a rather unpleasant voice message from the company yesterday (same caller as before) which is threatening in its tone. The message states that ‘i have received goods that i have not paid for and the matter is being considered by them as FRAUD’

I had emailed the company stating I had every intention to pay for the door but asked for compensation (email sent to info@daves doors - no reply ….surprisingly).

I have reluctantly paid in full despite the service/late delivery and costs incurred waiting.

Daves doors -

The ‘service’ you provided to me is nothing short of disgraceful. I understand that suppliers can let you down, but failing to make meaningful contact to a customer despite making at least 2 verbal assurances, is just not on. This has cost me time and money keeping a carpenter hanging around.

The door finally turned up with NO prior contact re a delivery date and AFTER I informed my credit credit card to cancel the order. It is now stuck in my lounge as I now have to get a carpenter BACK in to remove the old door. The chap that delivered the door stated I was not the only customer despatched goods that day with no prior communication or contact.

Personally contacting customers who have paid many hundreds of pounds up front for VERY late goods, which were received in these circumstances (and in the manner and tone that i was subjected to on voicemail) is nothing short of shameful.

Hi Sean, Thanks for providing your order information. As you have stated, unfortunately some times products can be subject to supply issue (especially in the current global climate)
Our customers are updated on a regular basis (via system emails) regarding any delays and you were given the opportunity to cancel your order once your delay came to light. All system emails were sent to your email provided however as no response was received you were also contacted via phone (on several occasions over several days with no response / answer / or reply)

In light of honouring your need for the products your order was still dispatched at the soonest opportunity (delivery was made on day 16 of which 14 days are our regular lead times)

You have filed a Charge back from your credit card after this delivery date and repeatedly ignored further invoices to make payment. You now have possession of goods for which you have not made payment ( 3 weeks from receipt of the order of which we have your signed delivery note)
Unfortunately, and although you do not seam to understand or agree with the word Fraud (noun/
'wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.') by recalling your payment and keeping the goods delivered to you we have been forced to file these charges against you.
If you do wish to halt the Small Claims proceedings filed against you we would suggest contacting our office (phone 01157401740 email info@davesdoors.co.uk or Live chat via our website) or making immeditate payment via the invoices sent to your email address connected to your order.

Buyer must read AND DON’T BUY FROM…

Buyer must read AND DON’T BUY FROM THEM, we purchased online and they sent us doors from howdens which were incorrect, and order refused, as this was not correct, they don’t answer the phones or emails just the blog Jon, then they state a £85.46 delivery charge was not refunded as Howden’s charge them a delivery however after checking with Howden’s this was not the case and it was free delivery as the error was the error of Johns doors. I get penalised for it what is an error of theres very confusing! the refund states paid in full on the refund page at johnsdoors however this is £85.46 short they now state is a transaction charge what are not a load of rubbish. We are in establish company and will be taking these court as I’ve just issued proceedings. If you are looking to purchase from this company, please don’t it’s very wrong and the communication is extremely shocking including when I speak on the chat. I screenshot all the conversation that Jon on the current communication states they have never said that even though I have screenshots of them saying that, I simply don’t know what they are thinking. i have trying to resolve it nicely now we’re heading to court please be aware. shocking service. The response is total lies and they sent the wrong doors and was not my mistake they have not refunded in full at all complete lies.wow they even put on my personal details what a shambles of a company and complete fraudsters

Dear Kevin Baldwin of Elite Training,
We thank you for your eloquent and detailed review and are very sorry to hear that you ordered the incorrect items online and that you were not happy with your order.
Despite your repeated attempts to gain access to our suppliers accounts and billing information your order was refunded in full with no shipping or restocking charges etc. to our regular returns address.
As previously explained in detail with our chat assistant Jon, your purchase contract at the time of order was adhered to and any delivery charges are non refundable after dispatch of goods.(which you can view again here if required https://www.davesdoors.co.uk/cancellations-refunds-and-returns-policy-97-c.asp) Cancellations before dispatch are free of any charges, also explained in the above contracts.

As explained previously we use independent couriers over large transport distributors inline with our Eco (Forestry Commission timber products) and emmisions goals. In light of this we find that although there are advantages to the independant, individuals do still charge for their services.
We hope this is now a little clearer for you to understand in regards to your discussions with Jon and wish you all the best with your redevelopment.

Comprehensive website

Comprehensive website, which is visually appealing with the orange colour scheme, as well as the gallery images.

Easy to navigate, using the headings to find a suitable door to meet your needs.

Particularly liked the article and blog pages, where you can read about different types of doors, as well as more in-depth information.

I recently purchased a beautiful door from this website and I couldn't be happier with the product and service. The selection of doors is stunning, and the customer service team was incredibly helpful in assisting me with my purchase. The delivery was prompt and the door exceeded my expectations in terms of quality and craftsmanship. I highly recommend this website to anyone in search of a stylish and high-quality door.

Go elsewhere

Terrible customer service. No one answers the phone. Blunt on the online chat too. Why allow us to ‘add frame’ when actually it’s just 4 pieces of wood we have to join together. Our builder has decades of experience and agreed to fit the frame together properly , it needed several hundred pounds of work from a qualified carpenter for the mitres etc. Door was nice but some imperfections, more than should be considering the price. Overall very very disappointing and would not recommend

Hi Bryony, Thanks for speaking to us earlier and sorry to hear you have been ill advised from your builder! As discussed this is a quality frame and should easily be installed within half a day by a fully qualified professional Carpenter. To suggest out sourcing this to another manufacturer we would seriously question the ability of your employed installer, and we hope this is resolved quickly & simply by our suggested tradesmen as discussed. We look forward to an update of your 1 star review and wish you all the best with your extension going forward! :-)

Total rip off

Total rip off. These doors are mainly, if not all, howden products, delivered locally to you direct from howdens. Get your builder to purchase for you at a fraction of the price- total misleading website! You cannot speak to this company, it is all email or web chat - big warning sign. Dave’s doors lives off the back of other companies far cheaper. Do your research and stay clear!

Hi Suzanne Perera,
We are sorry to hear you are not happy with your door! We offer a variety of products from many different UK importers and maunfacturers not available to the general public. These trade only products can vary widely from bespoke manufacturing to 'off the peg' industry suppliers. We don't have any record of an installation quotation on our system so I assume this was a supply only order.
As you have mentioned if you have access to the 'off the peg' or budget range products via a builder or Carpenters accounts they may also have access to some simliar products, it is always good to research if a discount is available when working to a tight budget.
Our live chat facility is available 7 days a week via the website, our contact number is 0115 740 1 740 if you need to talk to an adviser directly, and any quotation requests or enquiries can also be sent to info@davesdoors.co.uk with a 24 hour response time.
We hope this clears up any confusion with communcations and if you have any further questions we can be contacted on the above lines 7 days a week. Thanks
