From sales to delivery a professional job.
From sales to delivery a professional service. If all retail companies in GB were like Bensons for Beds the BBC watchdog program would have nothing to report. Would recommend company from the sales people at Freeport Braintree branch to the delivery drivers gave exceptional service.

DON'T TRUST THESE GUYS
I would really encourage people to avoid dealing with this outfit and to take your business elsewhere, if you ever want to actually receive the products you purchased.
We spent £4.5k in early January, beds to be delivered in mid Feb. Here we are early March and still no delivery, received text this week saying all on track to arrive next week and now, sorry the beds won't actually be ready until April 8th!!!
No explanation, no phone call, no context, no compensation, no nothing. Just heads up your beds will now be delivered 3 months after you've paid and 2 months after they were supposed to show up. MAYBE.
I have zero faith and reallly suggest people avoid this headache for themselves. Shameful delivery of service.

Service second to none
I went to buy a quality mattress and because of time constraints and pricing it wasn't straight forward however Ben at Braintree took care of everything nothing was too much trouble and perseverance on his part got a result. Ben was very knowledgeable about all the products and so polite and courteous which I find a rarity these days so a big thankyou again Ben.

Damage caused
The store sales lady was lovely and helpful. No problem from that experience but on day of delivery the delivery drivers lost control of my mattress coming down the stairs and smashed into my glass display cabinet which had years of Royal Doulton and crystal, I know accident happen and they very apologetic but called the customer services and they had the insult to offer £100 compensation!!! They also ruined the plug socket was smashed to pieces. I will be taking this further. The moral of the story is the stores staff and also delivery drivers were lovely, the customer service is without terrible!!!!
