Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 83 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the exceptionally fast delivery times alongside extremely helpful, polite staff members who consistently go above and beyond to assist buyers. Consumers also deeply appreciate the clear communication and wonderful customer support experienced throughout their entire purchasing process from start to finish.

Some reviewers additionally observed minor cosmetic marks or scratches on discounted appliances, even though these imperfections were usually clearly displayed online prior to purchase.

New oven purchase

There was a problem with the original oven we ordered and, prior to delivery, we were given the opportunity to choose another, which we did. The refund was effectively processed and delivery was quick and easy.
Great service overall and competitive pricing.

Negative experience for me

Encouraged by the positive reviews, and after discussions on the chat, i made them an offer. This company charged my account in the middle of the night automatically after they accepted my offer, without me checking out, immediately shipped out the item to prevent me from cancelling the transaction. I requested to pay via credit card or a payment plan, all requests were declined. They had a hard time understand the cost was a full monthly salary and i just cant afford it. Ultimate returning the item costed me £150 with a pallet service even if they had listed Royal mail as an automated returning option for 4£. It seems this is not the general experience but if you have an issue it does look like a worst case scenario. STAY AWAY from them!!

Hi Sophia,

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the situation. I'd like to clarify the series of events to ensure everyone understands what happened.

You submitted a best offer on eBay early on the 4th of November, which we accepted at 8:14 AM. eBay processed the payment automatically at that time. We promptly dispatched your order, and it was collected by the transport company around noon. Later that afternoon, at 3:09 PM, you messaged us requesting to cancel the order because you wanted to pay in installments. Unfortunately, the item had already left our facility, making it impossible to cancel the shipment at that stage, and we communicated this to you.

You placed another offer on eBay at 11:44 PM the same day, hoping to pay in installments and cancel the first order. However, eBay again took full payment instead of the installment option you anticipated. As a result, we canceled this second order on the morning of the 5th of November. When you tried to make a third offer, we had to reject it based on eBay's advice, as eBay automatically processes the payment in full when an offer is accepted, without an option for installments.

Regarding the return of the item, we informed you that carriers like DPD and UPS do not ship appliances of such size and weight, and recommended using a pallet network similar to the service we used to dispatch your item. When you suggested that we support you in placing another order and applying an eBay voucher of £75, we explained that eBay confirmed the voucher is not applicable to "best offers."

Considering the attempts to place multiple orders, we were uncertain why this was pursued if affordability was a concern, as placing three orders totaling £4605 indicates significant available funds.

Upon receiving the returned item, we issued you a full refund, despite incurring a cost of £59.37 for the initial shipment. Your claim of paying £150 for return shipment does seem a little excessive so i would take it up with the courier you used (Pallet2Ship) as on their website they quote £89.63 inc VAT from RM3 to ST6 postcode.

As the saying goes, "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." We take pride in our service, as evidenced by our 4.9-star rating on Trustpilot and our ranking of 15th out of 132 appliance shops. Your feedback was removed by eBay due to your attempt to influence our actions, which is why you have resorted to leaving a review on Trustpilot.

We always strive for customer satisfaction and regret any inconvenience caused.

Best regards,
Staffs Appliance Centre
