Brilliant company

Brilliant company, with polite knowledgeable staff. More to the point they sell things that they have in stock and not depending on supplier availability.
Brilliant, super NG. You are a star

We bought an Automatic Water Bolier from Catering Appliances Superstore. The unit died after 12 months. Catering Appliances Superstore do not follow the EU Warranty guidelines, over complicate the process and want to charge me for their own engineer to repair a warranty fault.

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the issue with your water boiler and understand how frustrating this situation must be.

To clarify, all our warranty policies are based on and adhere strictly to the terms set out by our suppliers and are clearly stated at the time of purchase. In this case, it appears the unit was unfortunately outside of its warranty period, which is why a chargeable service was offered for further inspection and repair.

We always aim to be as transparent as possible with our customers regarding warranty coverage, and we’re happy to discuss this further if you'd like more details about the warranty terms specific to your product.

Superb

I have purchased many items from the catering appliance superstore in the last month and have been thrilled with the prices, delivery times but most of all there customer service. I had quite a lot of contact with customer service and sales as I had a tricky location to deliver a large fridge but they dealt with it very well and always called when they stated.

Terrible customer service and warranty…

Terrible customer service and warranty not worth the paper it’s written on. Chefmaster microwave with 8 months warranty almost sets on fire internally and told we burnt it! It’s an unsafe product that is a fire hazard!

Reply from Catering Appliance Superstore

We are sorry to hear this. As the product warranty is covered by the manufacturer, they have full jurisdiction regarding if the the product misfunction aligns with the t&c's of the warranty. On this occasion, they believed that the microwave had been subject to damage by something hot. I am happy to investigate this further, but the manufacturer's decision is usually final.
