We have not yet had the flooring installed, so this is premature. We feel communication is your main concern. We do not yet know when our flooring is coming. I do think you should rethink this.

From start to finish a total shambles

From start to finish a total shambles, ordered a new stair carpet , the fitter rang and organised a date to fit , he turned up at the date and time arranged , he worked non stop and once finished asked us to inspect it , Simon the fitter had done a fantastic job , the only problem was that it was the wrong carpet , getting a response from the floor room was a joke , everytime we rang we were told somebody would ring us , which they didn't, eventually I got a call stating that if I wanted to keep the wrong carpet they would give me £100 off, I refused and then spent the next week or so trying to get a response , today they finally came out and fitted the carpet we had originally ordered , two half day lost off work , I would avoid these people if you don't want the stress .

No fitting just yet

The staff member at Bluewater was very thorough in explaining how the system will work, as was the fitter who came for measurements.

Couldn’t ask for better service

I was visiting some friends in the area and we attended bluewater shopping centre and came across the floor room. I spoke to a lovely lady, I think her name was Erica. (who I may add seemed the be very unwell, surely staff who are sick should be at home to recover?) however all being said she absolutely gave me 100% attention I felt important and valued. We went through my various options and chose the carpet I wanted. When I was given the cost and going through all the paper work to get it booked in Erica noticed that I actually lived in Milton Keynes and went on to advise me to attend the store in Milton Keynes as my carpets would be done quicker. I didn’t even know we had one. But she explained exactly where I could find it. I have to say the floor room, I’m impressed. Not only were your staff members helpful and polite, but they also put the customer first, rather than push for me to commit there and then. Will definitely be attending my local branch tomorrow. Shout out to Erica at bluewater.

Hi Victoria,
It's great to hear the positive experience you've had with Erica in our Bluewater Store. Erica is actually one of our Regional Managers, and as such we have regular meetings, and I know from these how sincerely she takes customer service and always doing the right thing, and it's fantastic to her that customers feel that as well. Hopefully the service in our Milton Keynes store lives up to the same high standard, and we look forward to seeing you again!
Kind Regards,
Samuel

Such a shambles of a company

Such a shambles of a company! I believe I was the first customer of the Bluewater department back in October when they first went into the John Lewis store and I've had nothing but problems from start to........ Oh no, I can't say finish because they haven't finished the job and for some unknown reason, can't?!!! First of all they got my quote wrong and tried to get me to pay more money to have the floor fitted in a herringbone pattern even though that's what I'd stated I wanted from the outset. I refused as I'd already paid at this point therefore the contract had been made so I asked for a refund. They were going to let me walk away but changed their minds and said they'd pay the extra as a goodwill gesture as it was down to staff not being trained properly.
My fitting date kept being pushed back time and again as they then said that the thresholds hadn't been ordered. It was now getting close to my wedding date and Christmas so once again I asked for a refund if they couldn't fulfill the order as by now it was too stressful. They did send a fitter to fit the flooring over a three day period who I have to say was incredibly professional and did an amazing job with what he was provided-the highlight of all this.
Unfortunately he couldn't finish though as they still hadn't provided him with the thresholds worth nearly £250 and the little bits they had given him were incorrect. When I rang the shop to find out what was going to happen, he said he didn't know anything about it, the manager had left and the area manager (the one who had rang asking me to pay extra, then said you've got my number now if you've got anymore problems) has ignored all of my calls. Eventually after I emailed to say I could get a different company to finish the job therefore could I have a refund on the missing thresholds, I had an email back to say they were working out how to do this. This was now 2 weeks ago and still I haven't heard anything. I never do as it's always me who has to do the chasing. So it's now a dispute with the credit card company for goods not received from them.
There has been absolutely no customer service whatsoever and basically they'll take your money as quickly as possible but trying to get it back is going to take some time.
I don't know what John Lewis were thinking about renting out their space to this company but I'd definitely go somewhere else!!

Good Morning,
First of all I would like to extend my sincerest apologies for the way that this order has been handled at all stages since you stepped into our Bluewater store. This is not the service we aim for an certainly not the position we like our customer's to be left in.
I have been aware of this matter since the initial issues the team leader in Bluewater was looking into the matter. Although I can't explain the lack of communication with this order, a matter I will pick up directly with the team, I can apologise about the issues with the arrival of the 2.7m Pewter door bar the fitting hub have been waiting to arrive. My understanding of the matter was an initial system error meant the product wasn't requested from the manufacturer, and once the store had re-ordered this they were advised of a 5 week lead time on the product which has meant they have been unable to complete the works. We're working closely with both the buying team, and further our digital team to make sure this is not allowed to happen again in the future, although I do appreciate this will do little to alleviate your frustrations on this occasion.
I understand from speaking to the Cluster Manager this morning, she has obtained the necessary details for our Finance Team to refund these products through BACs payment, and I am told this will be completed by the end of the day, but as I have said previously, we do accept that this is a far from ideal outcome from you as the customer. I will pick this up with all parties and ensure lessons are learnt, and would encourage you if you have any further concerns of frustrations to please reach out to help@thefloorroom.co.uk and I will do my best to assist where I can.
Kind Regards,
Samuel
