I've been waiting over a week for a router they advertised as 1-2 business day delivery. If you don't mind waiting for a week or more for a item then use them if you need it quickly look elsewhere.

Joshua was the man in store I dealt with. He was very pleasant and extremely helpful. The price I paid was better than any on the internet. Great service . Great price.

Hi Su Lane,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

I'm sorry to hear that you received the incorrect item.
We offered to have this rectified within 24 hours of being notified but a request of a 10% refund was made by yourself for the inconvenience of having to accept a delivery to your address.

I can see that the incorrectly delivered item was received by us on Friday 02/07/2021.
This was then handed to our returns team to be inspected but due to a back log of returned items, the inspection was delayed by 1 working day.

I can now see that a full refund has been issued this morning (05/07/2021) to the original payment method used to place the order.

Kind Regards.

Great service

Great service, these guys went beyond, they realized i had made an incorrect combination on the order (door locks), received a call from the seller to enquire if the order was indeed what was wanted, discovered my error thanks to their intervention.

Well, those actions speak for themselves as to the integrity and service offered by those at CNS

Prompt refund

Returned an item for refund as the website info was incorrect. Refund was very prompt, including the return postage.

Online stock not up to date..

Ordered items online, made the payment etc & was looking forward to receiving my items.. Unfortunately a little time later received an email stating that the items was not in stock..
With technology as it is, surely a real time stock update should be kept if trading online... time consuming & pretty much false information.. i don't like giving negative feedback, the economy is tough enough though this doesn't help their cause.

Hi Dean.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
We are sorry that we weren't able to supply the items on our order.

We do have a stock system in place but unfortunately there was an error and as a result the wrong stock information was shown.

I can see that you were informed within 45 minutes of your order being placed that the items were not available and that a full refund would be issued.

Kind Regards,
Lewis

In stock. Out off stock

The items I ordered were in stock when I placed my order, supposedly. A week later I received an email informing me the items were no longer in stock and no more stock would be forthcoming. What a disappointment.

Sadly despite the website having stock

Sadly despite the website having stock, placing the order then waiting 3 days then being told its out of stock and I'll get a refund.

In this day and age if your website has stock, you have stock...

Don’t expect when they promise delivery dates!

Promised and paid for delivery and with no update at all, it arrived on another day! Tried to contact them and was just told it’s out for delivery now… very bad customer service and my customers not happy because of this company!

Hi,
Firstly, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

I have taken a look at your order and I can see that the delivery method selected by yourself was advertised as 3-4 working days.
Your order was placed on Sunday April 4th and our team began processing this on Tuesday 6th April due to the bank holiday.

It appears that delivery has taken place today, 3 working days from processing.

I can see that delivery was delayed by 1 working day due to an issue that was outside of our control.
Email and text message updates were provided by ourselves and our courier (DHL)

Kind regards,
