Orders seem to go missing regularly. They charge courier fees and then take longer than AusPost to deliver. Trying to chase up orders or get a refund is impossible. You'd have more luck trying to bott... See more

Ordered items that were in stock for next day delivery. Out of 4 boxes only 1 arrived. The excuse was that 1 box left the warehouse at 9pm & the others at 11pm so despite them being picked by 1 person... See more

Nisbets

Nisbets
Bad service experience. Very disappointed! My order had multiple missing items, and resolving the issue has been difficult and time-consuming. I do not recommend purchasing online.

Never again

I wish I had seen the reviews before I ordered. Twice my order has been dispatched and twice the order has failed to show up. 3 days off work and they expected me to wait a further day as it was out of there control. Zero confidence by this point so I asked for a refund. I can only be refunded when the parcel is returned to them by DHL. A parcel I have never received! So I’ve now got to wait and hope that the parcel is returned them so I can receive a refund. Absolute joke! Never again

Employee ignored me

Employee sat there drinking a coke behind the counter, saw me, didn't bother to serve me, when he was ready ( 1-2 minutes )came over to me, i asked why serve me now ?, i am on my lunch break, so i waited for another employee to finish his phone call, then asked where a product was, he was really good, first guy was useless, Melbourne city store

Shocking service

I was due a refund that was being issued on the 22 September, I rang twice and on 10th October was told it was released yesterday and would be 3 to 5 working days! Stay away from this company...wouldn't have given them 1 star but there's no option to give zero 😡

Service and repairs. Disaster

They're really try when you want to buy something. Unfortunately their service is terrible. They ask for payment up front (which I could agree to that) but over a month later no engineer has showed up yet. Nobody answers the email, on the phone "they are unable to check the status at the moment" and of course they won't call you back. They already have your money, why would they rush.

Worst hospitality supplier in the UK!

After 30 years of experience running hospitality business in three different countries I have to say with no shade of doubt that this is the worst hospitality supplier I've ever come across!
No organisation, inside communication and very poor, closer to non existing customer service.
I've never experienced so much frustration dealing with a supplier like I'm experiencing dealing with them.
Unfortunately in this country is very difficult to avoid them, mainly in midlands.

Incredibly frustrating situation

Incredibly frustrating situation — after being a loyal customer for years. When a company (or their contracted courier) causes damage during a delivery, it's reasonable to expect responsibility and a solution, not a blame game or total dismissal. Evidence supplied just total denial!

Terrible

Terrible, terrible customer service! Items are listed as in stock online, but they aren’t. No updates are provided, and it’s apparently our fault for not calling to check—even though the website clearly indicates availability. This issue has been ongoing for the past two years. We won’t be shopping with them again. Oh and by the way, the items we ordered over 2 months ago, which aren't due until end of March, still state they are in stock online! Get your act together Nisbets!!

FALSE ADVERTISMENT ON ITEMS IN STOCK!!!

Utterly Ridiculous; state that products are in stock and can be dispatched next day; only to recieve an email 3 days latter advising a different delivery date over 2 weeks away!

Take £100's for "in stock items" knowing full well they do not have it in stock.

Delivery is a joke.

Next day / Saturday delivery does not exist. I’m on day 4 & they still haven't despatched my order despite selecting next day Saturday delivery. Customer service is less than helpful & unwilling to speak to the warehouse. Manager call back is non existent too. Used nisbets for all of our catering chair supplies for our interiors business. Will no longer
