Fantastic selection of marble products…

Fantastic selection of marble products and great service. Alex helped with my final selection after I was sent tile samples. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, and I was able to see the tiles in person and then place an order straight away to secure the tiles that I want. The marble is really special and unusual, which is what I wanted. This is the second time I have used Starel to source marble, and if i need to I will use them again. Many thanks, Gael

Great customer service from Alex during the ordering process and beautiful tiles, thank you so much! Alex went out of their way to ensure we would receive what we ordered and kept us updated on an estimated dispatch date.

Exceptional Customer Service

I came in this morning and was assisted by Sophie and Alex, whose customer service was truly exceptional. They both exude charisma, they listened carefully to our requirements, and offered thoughtful, insightful advice. The experience felt effortless and genuinely welcoming thanks to their professionalism and care.

Friendly, knowledgable staff and smooth process

Everyone has been really friendly, helpful and professional throughout my experience with Starel Stones. I purchased a vanity unit from the team and the warehouse team provided colour matches for tiles and had an extensive knowledge and answers to all of my questions! Over the phone when dealing with Steve was also a really smooth and helpful process. Thank you to all!

No communication whatsoever

We made an order for bathroom floor tiles and despite them being quite quick response prior to ordering, went COMPLETELY silent after i paid the invoice. No confirmation of receipt, no order updates, no delivery or tracking information.
As it stands, the order 2 two weeks late, which is holding up progress on our renovation, but we have no idea whether the order has been accepted or if the product is even on its way.
We have called every available phone number that they show online and none of the calls have been answered. Our numerous emails have gone completely unanswered.
Rubbish.

Although the messaging said it would be 1-3 days delivery, it took a week for the order to be processed. This majorly slowed our renovation project down, and it was not clear when the order was submitted.

Hello Siobhan
You have placed one order with us and that was for samples.
Your samples were shipped the following day with next day delivery service, while typical sample delivery is 1-3 days, depending on where you live, timing may slightly vary.

My visit to Starel's Slab Showroom was fantastic!

My visit to Starel's Slab Showroom was a delight from start to finish. As a design professional, I have visited many stone showrooms around the world, and I could not have been more impressed by the vast selection of beautiful stones on display, and the incomparable prices. Marion was extremely knowledgeable and she patiently guided me to the stone I was most interested in, as well as pointing out some very unique slabs I might not have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a great experience, and I look forward to returning for future projects.

May not be a real business

May not be a real business?
I have spent over 9+ hours ) over 7 attempts over 10 days on hold and had 5 emails simply not replied to. We gave in.
We have bought a lot of similar products and this is simply not usual.
One call strangely phone picked up who could answer absolutely no questions but promised a response to my email from a manager. Attempted to confirm several times that I would have response and we have had never had a response now several weeks later.
Something feels very odd here.
I’m tempted to invoice them for our time.

Serious delay and no communication

Serious delay and no communication
Delivery is about a month late, with no updates and no response to repeated emails. This level of customer service is unacceptable.

So my original review gave the company one star. My original order had gone AWOL! Last week I placed a subsequent order (because I love their stuff so much) on a 4/7 day delivery. Guess what! Both orders arrived yesterday! (Apparently they'd had a glitch with their systems), my original order had slipped through the net)! I only wish they'd let me know? Thank you Alex for your customer service. I've given a 5 star review because samples always arrive quickly, and my last order came exactly on schedule!!

Amazing

Wow! I have never seen such a beautiful and extensive array of marbles like they have at the Southampton slab showroom. It was an absolute pleasure and joy to walk around and the coffee was an added bonus too. I have no doubts I will recommend this company to any of my future clients. Thank you Starel for the experience.
