Such excellent service!!!

We received excellent service and honestly were shocked at how quickly we received our goods, especially as we live in regional NSW. We can't recommend this company highly enough to anyone wanting to purchase from them. The handles we purchased are high quality also.
We discovered also that we had made an error in our order and Tayla couldn't have done more to assist us.
Thanks again!

We have had exceptional service on multiple builds spanning 7 years with our first build in 2015 to this year 2022 .

I genuinely appreciate the thoroughness of their service. On more than one occasion Rachael and the team have taken the time to call after our orders to ensure we have the correct items and finishes if there is a discrepancy or they’re concerned that we have potentially added or missed an item based on their knowledge of the products they stock.

The quality of the products is never in question and we will definitely use this company on future builds :)

Poor after sales customer care

For those wanting TradCo hardware (tradco.com.au) with after sales service I have found the following companies to be excellent with no post sale quibbles :
handlehouse.com.au
keelerhardware.com.au

I have bought several items over the past 2 years for my home renovation, and up until an after sales problem was experienced this week, had been reasonably satisfied.
I bought wall lights with glass shades but found on examination one shade was cracked in the unopened packaging. I reported this with photo and was told I had to buy another shade for $33 because I hadn’t reported within 48hrs of receipt neither was glass covered by warranty as it wasn’t ‘mechanical’!
True, its 8 months since receipt but in truth given other reno priorities these items remained unopened in their Taiwanese packaging.
They relented citing they were being ‘lenient’ in providing a free replacement but wanting postage paid which I declined having since sourced elsewhere….I won’t doing business here point forward, I found their attitude to customers incredible given the amount I have spent previously and have found other suppliers more competitively priced

Hi Dave,
I am very sorry you are unhappy with your experience with us. We do require customers to check their orders and let us know if there is any damage within 48 hours of receipt, this allows us to lodge a claim with our freight companies and supply a replacement at no charge.

This 48 hours applies to damage, not issues covered by normal warranty like a fault in the item.

We do state our 48 hour period on our shipping page, and we also email this information twice after you have ordered with us, once after your order has been processed and again when it has been shipped.
https://www.restorationonline.com.au/shipping

As we were not notified until 8 months after delivery, it is was well outside our time frame. We did offer to supply the replacement shades for free, however there would be a postage charge and this was not acceptable to you.

I am very sorry that you have not had a good experience, we appreciate and take all feedback on board, we will look into making this time frame more obvious on our website and in our emails to ensure no disappointment in the future.

All the best with your renovation.

Kind regards,
Restoration Online

Excellent customer service

Excellent customer service!
In the midst of renovations, I pause to give credit to the people of restoration online. I have used this company extensively for many of the items used in the renovation and each time they have been professional, helpful and efficient.
The products are of excellent quality. I highly recommend restoration online.
