Absolutely disgusting behaviour by this…

Absolutely disgusting behaviour by this company... I purchased a £1700 display fridge for our small business, it came and have many parts smashed/ chipped/ dented and missing

We contacted the company regarding this and have spent over a week being fobbed of with different things in the end I have had to contact the manufacturer's regarding the problems.... which a week on have still NOT been rectified

We are now waiting for the fridge to be collected and a full refund....

They will certainly NOT be getting any more of my money

Hi Kerry

We apologise again for the inconvience caused by the damaged delivery. Unfortunately during this COVID period, manufacturers and distributors are working with reduced manpower which resulted in the process of the unit being collected and checked back into stock much longer than anticipated.

You were refunded in full and hope that you were able to purchase a suitable alternative purchase.

Do not use this company

Do not use this company, they do not care about your service or helping you. I'm trying to return an item that is not correct and they want me to pay a restocking fee of 35% which is not stated any where on their website. I can't even find their terms and conditions on the website. Absolutely shocked and will be reporting them to Trading Standards.

Whatever you read here is definitely not the service we received what a great company to do business with. The cleaning of the kitchen was to a very high standard and the team in the office really assisted us with technical advice and great after sales service. Thanks Julia.

Terrible attitude towards customers.

Terrible attitude towards customers.
H***mali couldn't care less. Nothing is there fault.
I was left for 3 weeks after paying for equipment and they did nothing to get my kit to me. Even when I insisted on speaking to a manger i was told "no-one is available" how convenient. I asked about the Director John Rollands and he was too scared to call me back. Pathetic. The worst supplier I have ever dealt with in over 15 years, by a long way.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We are very concerned to read your feedback and are sorry for the unacceptable experience you have described.
The delay in receiving your equipment and the standard of customer service you received fall well below our company's commitment to our customers. A three-week wait without clear communication or resolution is not how we operate, and we sincerely apologise for the frustration this has caused. It is our policy to provide accessible and responsive support, and we failed you in this instance.
We take your comments about our team and management accessibility very seriously. This feedback is critical and has been shared internally to ensure we improve our service and communication protocols immediately.
We are dedicated to resolving this for you. A senior member of our customer service team will contact you directly to address this situation. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience, as it is essential for our improvement.

Left my extraction un-cleaned as the engineer stated didn't have the correct chemicals. Stated would be back the following Monday Failed to turn up... after I had cleared the kitchen again... no notification. I think the job was a little too time consuming and he didn't fancy it!!
Failed to get back to us after a mass email marketing campaign, I then had to chase them but again no response then eventually stated they couldn't do it.

The was a problem with the delivery as the specific delivery instructions were ignored. Rather than not wanting to upset their customer, ie us, they were seemingly more focused on not upsetting their supplier/courier. Not a good ethic to have as a business. Service and communication not good. Would definitely not use again.
