What made my experience great was the lady on the phone who kept me up to date with delivery times and said it was no trouble for the delivery guys to bring my 3+2 reclining sofas to the first floor. I have to say these are very heavy and did they deserve a drink after that. The 3+2 was better than expected as I didn't know the 3 seater was operated by electric for the reclining side of it plus with the added bonus of USB ports on both sides of the sofa and then to top it off it came with blue LED lights from underneath which did make me laugh. Overall my experience was brilliant and we are very happy with our purchase.

Good ordering process and delivery - poor product
Good ordering process and delivery. Product a huge disappointment . Very cheap mattress that wouldn't have sold at the apparent full price, not even a bargain when on offer.

Hello Mrs Roberts,
Thank you for your feedback.
We are pleased to hear the ordering process and delivery experience went smoothly, although we are sorry to hear the mattress did not meet your expectations.
Comfort and firmness can be quite personal, and we appreciate that what suits one customer may not suit another. We are sorry this product did not deliver the level of comfort or perceived value you were hoping for.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest feedback, as it helps both ourselves and our partners continue to improve.

No Response!
I sent an enquiry about paying with Klarna. This option is displayed on the website but didn't appear as an option at checkout. I never got a response. Do I detect a touch of snobbery towards people who want or need to pay in instalments?
Update 10/05/26: Further to my comments above, I have now received a reply and my query has been answered. I have adjusted the star rating accordingly.

Rackhams Left Me Stuck Between Seller and Courier
Extremely disappointing experience ordering through Rackhams.
I purchased an item through Cheaper Online via the Rackhams website in good faith, only to end up dealing with a missing parcel that was marked as “collected” despite the fact that I never collected it and never authorised anyone else to do so.
What has made the situation even worse is how exhausting and stressful the process has been to resolve. I’ve had to repeatedly chase updates, resend information, provide screenshots, asked to complete formal declaration paperwork, and deal with unnecessary back-and-forth over a parcel I NEVER received.
As the retailer/platform, I expected far better support and accountability instead of being left stuck between the seller and courier while the issue drags on. The whole experience has completely destroyed my confidence in ordering through Rackhams again.
Looking through reviews afterwards, I honestly wish I had researched both Rackhams and Cheaper Online properly before purchasing, as there seem to be many customers reporting similar negative experiences.
I am now considering pursuing a chargeback through my card provider due to the way this situation has been handled.
I will never order through Rackhams again after this experience.

Hello Farzaneh,
Thank you for your feedback, we are very sorry for the frustration this situation has caused.
We completely understand how concerning and stressful it is when a parcel is marked as collected when you have not received it.
When a delivery is disputed in this way, both ourselves and the courier are required to follow a formal investigation process before a claim can be approved. This can involve gathering evidence, confirming delivery details, and in some cases asking for a signed declaration. While we appreciate this can feel frustrating, these steps are in place to protect all parties and to ensure claims involving missing parcels are handled correctly.
Please be assured that at no stage were you being passed between parties. Our team has been actively working with both the fulfilment partner and courier behind the scenes to investigate what has happened and reach the correct resolution.
We are sorry the process has felt longer and more stressful than it should, but we do take cases like this seriously and remain committed to getting the matter resolved fairly.
Kind regards

Good Value Tree / Shrub Lopper
Was really pleased to find a reasonably priced telescopic lopper / pruner. Ordering and payment process was easy, and the delivery was super quick. I’ve used the lopper to prune back some Ivy that had gone a little out of control, not tried it on anything with thicker stems or branches, but was suitable for my needs at a great price
