Your website invoiced me 5 x more than it should have been , very frustrating as I purchased on a Saturday and matter could not be resolved until the Monday . However I did report to your customer service and though they could not assist on the Saturday the call handler was very apologetic and sympathetic , I am an account holder yet the two stores closest to me have closed ..hence I needed to shop on line but will not trust the service again .

The boots I ordered were received in very poor condition. No discount was offered, just lots of inconvenience for me to wait 5 days for a replacement pair to be sought, pay for packaging to return them, take them to a post office and then wait for a delivery of a new pair! Very poor customer service from head office which is a shame as in my local store the service is outstanding.

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for your review.

I am sorry to hear the boots you have received were in a bad condition, I have had a look at the details and I can see we have not offered any money off as we have a replacement pair we can send out to you instead. We will need the pair of boots back within the company before a replacement can be issued. As soon as we have these back, we will be able to send a pair out the next working day. I can see a free returns label has been sent to you which will prevent you paying a postage charge.

I am sorry for any inconvenience caused, we are looking to resolve this as quickly as possible for you.

Kind regards,

Excellent service

I bought Alpha Sensitive Chicken & Rice and also Sensitive Duck & Rice. Ordering from Countrywide was easy and their site was simple to navigate. My order was delivered yesterday and I was very impressed with how both 15kg bags were securely packaged. I have ordered from other sites and both of those orders had burst during transit, not so with Countrywide. I can highly recommend Countrywide & I will certainly be ordering from them again. Thank you.

The website was a pain

The website was a pain - I almost gave up! Couldn't complete order 4 times on phone or tablet (not all the fields correctly displayed and buttons once pressed did nowt) and some of the pricing is opaque - the value of the order seemed higher than advertising would suggest. Delivery info is non existent- it will be within 3 days, except when it won't be.... There is a real need to improve the customer experience or they will go elsewhere - you get one chance these days!

Poor Customer experience.

I ordered online, order confirmed, payment made, then informed by E 'out of stock' - I E'd that a contract between C'wide and me'd been made, patronising reply, totally unsatisfactory.
