Poor Communication.

The product, patio door stops, is five star. Unfortunately, the service fell a little short, the expected delivery date was not met and I had to chase on several occasions with promised return calls not happening and an e-mail not being replied to. The reason was, apparently, a move to new premises but better communication would have resulted in a better than three star review.

Gareth - Thank you for your honest review and for the kind words about our patio doorstops.

I’m truly sorry that our communication let you down. You're absolutely right, we were in the middle of relocating our entire workshop at the time, and while that’s not an excuse, it did unfortunately disrupt both production and customer service far more than we anticipated.

We completely understand how frustrating it is to have to chase for updates, and I’m sorry that promised callbacks and responses didn’t happen as they should have. We’re a small team, but we’re working hard to improve our processes so that future customers receive both the high-quality product and the smooth experience we aim for.

Thank you again for your order and your valuable feedback, it really does help us improve.

Regards,
Steve

Dear Sue

I'm very sorry to read this review, but I completely understand your disappointment. We’ve been working through a large backlog caused by a surge in orders and a difficult workshop relocation, and while that’s no excuse for poor communication, it has meant we’ve struggled to stay on top of messages.

I will resolve this for you today. I’ll personally make sure your order is prioritised, finished and dispatched today for delivery tomorrow.

Sincere apologies again, and thank you for your patience.

Regards
Steve

We ordered 2 door stops on the 24 April and received them on the 20 May. The door stops are amazing and we couldn’t be happier with them but the customer service could have been better,I understand that there can be delays but I think the company needs to keep the customer more informed during the ordering and making process of this product. Having I said that I would recommend this company as the finished product was to second to none.

No response to emails or messages

Placing the order was easy. It was estimated my order would be shipped in a fortnight after ordering. When four weeks had passed I sent an email just enquiring as to when I might receive my order. I received no reply. I sent another email a week later and again no reply. A few days later I then sent a direct message via Instagram but again still no response. My item finally arrived almost seven weeks after ordering. I never received any communication to say that my order was delayed for whatever reason. Really disappointed in the customer service side of things.

Gilles - Thank you for tacking the time to leave a review, however, it’s always disheartening to read a review like this, especially as we’ve done our best to keep you updated throughout the process. Your most recent email came in just before this review was posted, just as we were in the process of preparing a reply. To confirm, your order was dispatched last week, and I’ll be following up with the courier after the bank holiday to ensure it reaches you safely. I’m sorry your experience has left feeling this way. We genuinely care about every customer and order, and I really appreciate your patience during what is an exceptionally busy time for our small team. Thank you

Hi Jane - thank you for your review. I can see that your order for one of our small wooden hearts was placed on Sunday 30th March, was dispatched on Monday 31st with Royal Mail as you requested with an estimated delivery between 5 - 9th April, and today is only the 8th, so I'm sure it will arrive on time, but if it doesn't please let us know, and we will send out a replacement. Thank you Steve

Hi Sylva - thank you for your review. Although we love to receive feedback from our customers, we would prefer you let us know that you didn't receive your order by email, allowing us the opportunity to respond and correct the situation as soon as possible. We have sent out a replacement item last week via UPS, if not already with you, hopefully it will be with you soon. Please let us know. All the best Steve

I have purchased two trees from this company. Both experiences were excellent. All the parts were milled correctly, and all the parts were included, along with a few extra spacers. Very quick delivery. Excellent customer service.
