Persistence from KMS rail tech for a satisfied customer

The Lenz DCC product I ordered is not widely stocked or available. KMS Railtech accepted my order with the caution that not enough were in stock and a delivery would be required from Lenz and in due course delivered the product to my home.
Other suppliers would probably simply turned down my order as inconvenient. KMS Railtech went the extra mile to fulfil my request and deserve credit for their persistence.

3 orders totall £100 all turned out no…

3 orders totall £100 all turned out no stock and keep me waiting. Slow email reply. Promised to refund but just change the status in order page as "Refund Request" but no real refund is made. It stopped replying after tracing a few emails. It is a very suspicious company and you have to be very careful. I am going to file a police report if I cannot get back my refund finally.

Appalling customer service -Avoid

Sold me incorrect track at model rail show. Left numerous messages and sent emails with no response apart from we will telephone you to resolve -no call from them. the worst customer service I have ever experienced- How are you still in business when you treat customers with utter contempt? Your customer service is a joke.

SCAM COMPANY!

WARNING: SCAM COMPANY!

They take your order and money with no email order confirmation or most importantly supply the paid for goods. I've been waiting nearly 2 weeks.

Model railway items

Only dealt with the shop online but they could not have been more helpful. I had a slight problem but this was resolved over the phone with a positive outcome. I was kept updated with regard to the order delivery.
