Ordered notebook for colleague’s…

Ordered notebook for colleague’s special birthday using Priority Shipping which did not hurry item along any faster and missed birthday celebration.
Has eventually arrived and product is more flimsy than what was expected.

Thank you for your feedback, Margaret. We're sorry if the product quality wasn't what you expected.

As for your concerns around shipping times – we try to be as transparent as possible about our production times. Every notebook is custom printed according to your customisation choices, and production can take up to 4 business days. Shipping starts after the production times, and priority shipping takes 1 to 2 business days.

Your order took 2 business days in production, and was then delivered within another 2 business days (with a weekend in between). The production and shipping times are on all product pages, but we're sorry if this wasn't clear when you made your selection on our website.

Best wishes from WTF Notebooks.

Poor quality products and awful customer service

Awful company - avoid at all costs and use a premium printer instead.

I had a terrible experience with this company and have given them an opportunity to resolve the matter for me but they have refused and I remain £2.82 out of pocket.

The quality of their product is extremely poor. The spiral bound notebooks are flimsy and of poor quality. They also supplied an incorrect colour. I ordered an orange notebook and the product they supplied was red. I was willing to accept the incorrect product if they refunded me the £2.82 I am out of pocket due to their inability to deliver the priority delivery service that I paid for.

Mistakes and delays happen and I always give the company chance to make things right before leaving a negative review. In this case W T F Notebooks had ample opportunity to resolve this and were either incapable or unwilling to doing so.

If you're thinking of using this poor company then think again - their products are poor quality, their production process is flawed and their after sales customer service is dire.

In the end I have raised a dispute with my credit card company and received an immediate refund via that route instead. I'd encourage anyone else who is unsatisfied with this company to do the same.

Thanks for your feedback, Richard.

We're very sorry you weren't happy with your experience. As you know, we have refunded the costs for the shipping upgrade – and as our customer service team suggested we are also happy to replace the notebook free of charge.

The £2.82 were a charge for a phone call you made to DHL, and hopefully you can appreciate that we are unable to cover such bills. We have been happy to resolve all of this with you from the start, but unfortunately communication stopped after our last email to you when we asked for a photo of the incorrect notebook.

Smaller and thinner than expected

I ordered six of these, and honestly I'm really disappointed. I mean they're fine and everything, and I accept responsibility for not checking the dimensions, but I assumed that for the price, these would be substantial notebooks and A4 in size. They're actually much smaller (A5?) and quite thin and the cover on the spiral bound version seems very flimsy. Maybe the hardcover versions are better value. It would possibly be helpful if the size was made clearer to avoid confusion.

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry if the notebooks weren't what you expected. We get a lot of fantastic feedback on the quality of our notebooks, but we also understand that it's not always possible to cater to everyone's expectations.

As for your feedback on the specs provided, the product sizes are available on every product page as well as the 'Notebooks specs' page on our website. But we're always looking for ways to make this information more transparent, so we'll take your feedback on board as we continue to improve our website.

Shambolic service

Order number WTFNUK66616. Order placed 28/11/22

I can't comment on the product as it hasn't yet arrived, almost 2 weeks since ordering. My order was only listed as dispatched after I chased them up, 2 days after their stated dispatch time for said items. Despite no strikes with royal mail last week it's now been an entire week since dispatch with still no product, despite other orders arriving that have been posted after this one.

I've requested my order to be replaced, and even offered to pay extra for expidited shipping, but their best offer is that they'll send a replacement, but after another week of waiting; no rush order considering I've been waiting so long and also being aware that I need to re-post these as gifts. Plus if their last dispatch time is anything to go by, I've no idea when they'll actually get here, if at all.

My last email to them has been ignored so I'm assuming they've now washed their hands of the problem.

Would not recommend, and I will definitely not be using this company again.

UPDATE: (my last reply to this company sent via email. I have outlined my issues, so customers can take from this interaction what they will)

Hi.

Thankyou for reaching out, although unnecessary. I've also just received another email from yourselves, which really adds insult to injury, considering my last email to you was stating that your original offer wouldn't work, and that was left ignored. Yet now there is no further issue for some reason you feel the need to keep contacting me.

Let me just point out, I was aware you had posted them, but it was 2 days after the latest dispatch time you state for that item, and only after I got in contact to ask about dispatch. Coincidence? I can't say, but I believe they were dispatched at that time.

I am aware that the issue is with royal mail, but the contract is between you and them, and if your items aren't delivered on time then only you can contact them, as they will not discuss it with the recipient.

Now my main issue was with the fact that when I replied Thursday night informing you that your solution would not work (as the Royal mail website had updated with the latest strike dates), I was promptly ignored with the intention of you following through with the "agreement" we hadn't made to wait until close of business Saturday. Now considering the order was originally dispatched later than advertised, it potentially would have been even later than you offered. Some feedback I would give is to offer full tracking for ALL your shipments, with a shorter delivery time, even if you add a charge for the service.

The order DID arrive Saturday, after I had left my review, but my review is accurate, and not to do with the product itself, which is fantastic BTW, and will be added to the review. I am 100% happy with the items. They are hilarious, in pristine condition, and came well packaged. There is nothing at all wrong with them that I could fault.

Now my final point... The refund. I do not know why you have refunded me. I have at no point asked for (or hinted at) a full, nor even a partial refund. I am happy to pay for products that I receive (even late). It was totally unnecessary and if you haven't yet processed it, then don't, as the items are perfect. You needn't just hand out refunds for a problem with your carrier, and if you do, you ought to attempt to recoup all, or part of it from them for breaking contract. As you pointed out, you are a small business, so shouldn't be out of pocket for your great products.

As a small addition, it would maybe be easier for customers if you contacted them within "normal" business hours, rather than in the middle of the night.

Thankyou for the product, and for reaching out to me, although once the product was delivered it was no longer necessary. Continue to make fantastic items, I wish you all the very best, and don't hand out refunds at the first hurdle.

Merry Christmas (if you celebrate it), and have a Happy and prosperous New Year.

Regards,
Nat

Dear Nat, thank you for your feedback.

You are right in saying that our notebooks didn't dispatch right away. That is because, as you know, we custom make each notebook to order.

You are also right in saying that your order took longer in transit than anticipated due to the Royal Mail strikes. But you were also aware of this, since you acknowledged the strikes in your email.

Furthermore, you are also correct in saying that you weren't provided with a free reprint when you asked for it, because it had only been 4 business days since dispatch. The free shipping method you chose can take up to 5 business days.

So, we appreciate and understand all of the concerns you raised. However, when you reached out there was no reason to believe your parcel was stuck or lost in transit. It had only been 4 business days, and there was no delay at that stage.

After giving Royal Mail appropriate time to transit the parcel, and then offering a free reprint (which you gave good reason as to why this didn't work for you), we were given no further opportunity to resolve this issue with you, but instead you left this review. Yes, we should have mentioned that you can also opt for a refund, but usually we work together with our customers to find a suitable solution should any issues arise.

Your order arrived about 2 hours after you left this review. And as you said yourself, you were '100% happy' with the notebooks. Yet, in an attempt to improve your experience with us, we refunded you the full amount, but it seems that you aren't looking for a resolution.

We appreciate your feedback and wish you all the best.

The small print is SUPER ambiguous

EDIT: I know you're trying to remove this review, it's a shame you didn't put as much effort into your customer care efforts in the first place. Why does a review make you take rapid action? I have provided a reference number. I am still unhappy with the experience and quality of my purchase (£12 for a very thin little book). If you had just behaved a bit more human and explained things are busy, offered to refund (instead of hold onto the money). I'd have been less annoyed. You need to fix the small print on your website regarding manufacturing and shipping - it's incredibly misleading. I can easily go to a large print shop to order this but wanted to support a lesser known business. Have lived to regret it and now stuck with a gift I won't be able to give as the timeline has passed.

Hi Aneesa, we're very sorry that you had this experience with our customer service team. You may have seen that we did refund the shipping charge earlier today.

As we outline on our website, all of our notebooks are custom printed. The moment you place your order we begin the production process, starting with the cover which is automatically printed – day or night. We try to be as transparent as possible about our processes, but we do understand that sometimes they can be missed.

Our mission is to make people laugh, and we would really like to try and turn your experience around into a positive one. We have emailed you and truly hope that we can find a resolution together.
