Don’t buy a pergola

I ordered maze pergola mid April as delivery stated within 2 weeks, I had to pay full amount of over £3600. I even chatted on live chat about it, but no mention of a delivery delay.As soon as I paid, I had message to say it would be delivered May 30th not April.Jacob said if there was a problem he would let me know and I received no email to say it was going to be delayed again.As I received no email I paid for decking in the garden to be installed and emailed him on 28th May to ask if everything was going to be ok for 30th. Once again he said delivery is again delayed and would be definitely around June 20th. I told him I could it buy it somewhere else but he promised to match price and said it would be delivered then. I stayed loyal and emailed again just before delivery date and this time he said it would be end of July. I have now got full refund but will not be buying from Jacob again. He did reply to emails but not until I chased the pergola about delivery. It’s a long time for a company to have all that money. I rushed and paid more to have the decking ready when there was no need. As Jacob had price matched the pergola he was not willing to provide platinum delivery as a good will gesture.Very disappointed, he just needed to keep me updated and not wait for me to keep asking.

I haven't received my order and firstly they told me it was going to be x week. Now it is meant to be arriving a week later.

However, the communication has not been fantastic as I'd prefer to receive automatic updates on things and a clear delivery date.

Hi Luis, I am so sorry your order was delayed and I know it can be infuriating. We always go off the delivery schedule the manufacturer gives us and sometimes it is not as reliable as we would like. I know when you get your order you will be happy you waited as the furniture is beautiful.

Great and friendly service

When my garden furniture arrived, two cushions were missing.... I emailed Jacob, he responded very quickly, and contacted the manufactures, kept me up dated in regards to the manufactures response. I didn't wait long for the replacements..... Great and friendly service. Would definitely buy from Staffordshire again

HOMELY is not HomelyBrand

I recently had a terrible purchase experience with HOMELYBRAND, USA. I confused HomelyBrand with the HOMELY company. HOMELY and HOMELYBRAND are not the same. HOMELY is responsive and cares about their customer service. I am sorry that I posted a bad review for your company by mistake.

First class service

I ordered some maze outdoor furniture from Homely and my whole experience was nothing short of first class. Jacob is extremely helpful and friendly and appears to work very hard in order to get the customer what they want. I will be going back to buy more from Homely as the whole process from ordering to delivery was very smooth. The delivery arrived exactly when Jacob said it would arrive which is very good considering conditions today with what is going on. Jacob always updated me and I would highly recommend Homely as a company to get your furniture for your home

Took ages for product to arrive and I had to keep chasing and chasing. Lamp shade was described as emerald but on arrival it is teal and does not go with the emerald bits i already have. Very disappointed all round.

Chest of draws excellent refund process

I bought a chest of draws and when it arrived it was bigger than I had hoped. It would have been wise to have measured before ordering, but luckily I was able to send back the opened package of draws and get a full refund. I spoke to Jacob who owns the furniture business via email about the situation. He was happy to give me full refund if the furniture wasn't damaged. He couldn't resell it because it was opened but he very generously gave the draws to The Alice Charity. It made the process easy and refunded me straight away. I would buy from this business again as it is a trustworthy business.

Purchase and delivery of garden furniture. …

Whilst we experienced an unfortunate delay in the delivery of our garden furniture, some 4/5 months, it was accepted that was caused because of a ‘double whammy’ effect of Covid delays, transporting from China and the Suez Canal being closed for a couple of weeks in the summer because of a shipping accident. When the furniture did arrive. it was in first class condition and good quality.

Hi Nicholas,

Thank you for your review and an honest review. Delivery schedules last year were a nightmare and there was nothing more infuriating than late deliveries. Thankfully this year deliveries are a lot smoother and so are my stress levels.

Hope you and the family are loving the Winchester set you purchased from us.

if you ever need anything else please let me know

Horrendous to deal with.

Returns policy not clear! This is the monkey of the business, you are actually receiving your product from abroad, so if you do want to return it they will charge you THEIR fee to do so and wont guarantee a refund if you use your own! None of this is stated anywhere in their T&C's, the company, Staffordshireuk, is registered in the UK but wont let you send the product back to them even though it's from them you purchased.
If you challenge their policy they just stop communicating with you, basically, they already have your money so it's your problem not theirs.
Offered a pitiful 10% partial refund which you feel is your only option in the end because they wont reply to emails!!
Would definitely NOT recommend I will definitely NOT use again.
In reply to yours below.
The offer of £70 was after communication stopped, the pitiful partial refund I mentioned above.
I didnt change my mind, the product wasn't suitable, it came flatpack, not as advertised, so I had to get somebody to build it for me!
The charge for return, £60, was to send back to a company abroad! NOT stated anywhere in your T&C's, I was dealing with YOUR company based in UK therefore expected to return to YOU, not somewhere abroad!
Lastly, I have been back in touch, the outcome of offering a money off voucher, that was useless to me, to remove this review speaks volumes. How many other reviews have to bribed customers to remove!

Hi Tracey,

I am so sorry you feel this way. I know you were not satisfied with the product you purchased and one of the main reasons was that it needed assembling. On the product description it does say if the item does need assembly. The majority of our luxury garden furniture all comes fully built and saves on the hassle whereas the economy range we use to sell was all self assembly.

As you wanted to return the item because you had changed your mind and it wasn't what you wanted you would need to pay the return postage. We could still arrange for the collection of the furniture but you would need to pay. If the furniture was damaged or faulty then this would not be the case and it would be free of charge.

As we communicated I offered you a £70.00 refund as a gesture of goodwill because I wanted you to feel valued. You accepted the £70.00 and I thought you left a happy customer. So it's a shame that you have gone away so unhappy and we did not know.

As I read your review I thought I would contact you as I wouldn't want any customer having a poor experience with myself. You explained that you had sold the furniture so I offered you a voucher which could be used on any items or by any of your friends and family. You would have preferred the money sent to your bank which I understand is more appealing. As the value of the voucher was so high I could not offer you this. This was not a bribe but a way of showing that I do care about my customers and that they are valued.

I don't know how many other businesses would contact a customer from a bad review and try to make amends and take even further steps to try and make a customer happy.

As always it's a shame you have taken this view as I do not feel it is a true reflection of the business I am trying to create.
