Total rubbish stay away at all costs

Divers warehouse is a complete joke...If i could give a lower rating i would...stupidly i never paid attention to bad reviews everywhere on net....i purchased a diving knife 6 weeks ago...after 4 phone calls...they assure that knife is coming into stock the following week....but this never happens.they never respond to e mails..the customer service is like talking to a plank....so unprofessional.they are advertising items for sale that they have to source from supplier after purchase....totally rubbish way to run a business...they never ever follow up complaints and phone calls...they wont even reply by e mail...they are happy to take the money ....stay away. .. i have now had refund a full 6 weeks after the order i have not had the contact with company that they said i have...they state they can only refund on a thursday...ha...im suprised they get any custom at all....have never heard of this method of doing business.a total and waste of time and money..dont gamble with your money..go elsewhere.....anywhere will be better...ive edited my review countless times because divers warehouse dont like the truth...so this is the nice review...believe me when i say"STAY AWAY".

Dear Mr Brown
Thank you for your feedback .
As advised to you via email which you replied to we are very confused by the feedback.
The order was placed on 24th June and has been delayed and not at all as we would hope for our customers, but the lack of correspondence and refund is not at all the factual information we can send.

We have spoken via email on the following times and dates:
24 Jun 2017 19:08:25
26 Jun 2017 09:42:24
5 Jul 2017 14:37:40
27 Jul 2017 09:08:04
31 Jul 2017 12:06:39

We also have spoken to you on the telephone.

Our accounts only work on Thursdays as advised so we took card details for the refund to be done in the shop rather than over the web to avoid delay in your refund.

We are sorry we could not assist you on this occasion but find the inference of theft unacceptable

Regards

dreadful service from a company with …

dreadful service from a company with high google search ratings. placed a order and had no confirmation reply, however a separate immediate worldpay debit from my bank account. After waiting 4 days I looked at website and noticed my placed order was supplied from manufacturer.. that's fine, I thought, had things from simply scuba and mikes dive store and took 5 days maximum if not in stock.. sent emails and waited, then phoned and was told the usual stuff others had reported on here.. I told them the facts, very bad review's and wanted a refund, told had to wait 2 weeks because the girl from accounts was on holiday!! So a manager or owner had no authority to refund me? told to phone back in 2 days and speak to Billy, which I did, he promised a refund that afternoon, nothing , phoned 3 days later, he admitted he forgot and would do it the following day. I reminded him I would email him that day, nearing close of business ,nor refund from worldpay, so a final email to him with a few threats of further action, 10 minutes later a refund..
all in all 3 weeks from time of order to settlement..

Dear Mr Brown
Thank you for your feedback.
Sorry we failed you on this occasion regarding your order.
We apologise for the delay in the order and the refund due to holidays we have two full time staff members and three part time in all so unfortunately holidays, sickness etc do cause unexpected delays.
Billy would do the refund in the shop rather than through the accounts system which is why you were asked to call back, sincere apologies that he added to the issue by forgetting.
We have certainly failed you and the review is deserved. We will certaily admit when we got it wrong and we did with you and for that we apologise

***Order at your own risk***

***Order at your own risk***
Ordered Dry Suit Undergarments from this retailer and got nothing in return. Got apologetic responses to emails saying "ordered from Supplier" but nothing was ever shipped and no refunds offered. If zero stars were an option I would give it. If you have ordered from this company I'd recommend filing a complaint with your credit card or paypal immediately to recoup your costs.

Edit: 8/6/17 - I have received half of my order to date after ordering in December of 2016....I'll leave this as warning to others.

Dear Mr Jarrett

Thank you for the feedback.

Few queries regarding the feedback to understand and learn from. The top was sent at our cost to part ship due to the delay and the trousers are still on back order. No refund has been requested to date.
We would quote the tracking but is against the DPA so we are aware you have the item.

If you no longer want the trousers as this review infers, please advise through the correct channels so we can refund as , to date they are on back order

Regards

Waiting 2 months so far for a refund

Divers Warehouse UK took £200+ of my money 2 months ago and I still have nothing to show for it. I ordered some dive gear online (2 months ago) needless to say after a long wait it hadn't arrived and I was forced to purchase elsewhere. I requested a refund which I am still waiting for it ... that was almost a month ago. I have today initiated a Merchant Dispute with my bank.

If you read the majority of the reviews on the site or any other its the same story, a pattern of behavior. It is beyond unacceptable to just take peoples money - in my book it is theft.

Dear Mr Pienaar

Thank you for your feedback and numerous emails .

We have refunded your funds over two weeks ago as requested and have advised you that we have also put a complaint in with Paypal regarding the issue you have had, we have given you the reference number and their email responses so unsure what else we can do as the refund has been done from our end you state you have not received. You state you have done a merchant dispute with your Bank yet paid with Paypal and that is where the refund goes back to and has done as has been advised.

We are not criminals and we have not taken your money and there is Paypal guarantee for that also which ensures you of your refund if we had not done it which we have.

We can not put the references advised on a review site due to DPA but they are on your gmail email account again with all the rest of the correspondence

Regards

The absolute worst online purchasing experience ever. Paid dec 30 2016, just got refund today, 2/7/17. No wetsuits ever arrived. A series of lies, constant lies and failed promises from the staff as to delivery dates. Then finally they send a ups tracking number, that has not had a product shipped under it - just a shipment notification. Rang again, more excuses and bs as to it being sent. Finally had enough and demanded a full refund after threatening to notify the ombudsman. I'm now out around 40 pounds in currency changes, credit card fees and skype fees. What a joke. Avoid at all costs.

Dear Mr Micaleff
Whilst I am not surprised regarding the review, i do however get the chance to advise the "fact" not lies as you suggest.
You ordered suits which were no longer made by the Manufacturer. We followed through new suits for you and sorted at OUR cost due to the issue with the Manufacturer upgrading the suits and you wanting specific suit requirements.
We sent the suits once you had paid the difference through courier and advised your tracking. These suits have been lost in transit as was advised and also that we would order some more to avoid any extra delay whilst these were tracked.
There was no demand for a full refund as it was me you spoke to and due to your frustration in the suits going missing and not believing me even though I advised it was me that packed them I offered the alternative suits or a refund.
I have spoken to you on numerous occasions and assured you of what we were doing etc and we are very sorry that the suits left here but as yet have not arrived with you.
We take exception to the lies scenario as this is your inference regarding the situation. You have even emailed us to provide proof that a refund has been actioned as you have not received yet that is different to the reviews that you have posted.
We are sorry that sorting out new suits at cost price, offering new suits or a refund whilst tracking the suits sent is the " worst online purchase" we will certainly make note for the future and refund instantly rather than trying to assist and provide a service.
Regards
Billy

Absolute joke from start to finish

Absolute joke from start to finish, took 3 months to complete my order and then still couldn't get it right, sent the wrong wetsuit, fair enough they offered to take the wetsuit back and reorder but after waiting 3 months for this one I am not prepared to waste my time waiting another 3 months.
Constantly chased either by email or phone on a weekly and sometimes daily basis and constantly filled with empty promises and false dates for delivery just to be let down every single time. When Billy is not about dont waste your time speaking to anyone else as they haven't a clue and will just tell you a pack of lies saying they will get Billy to ring you back the next day, have a guess what Billy never rings
If your ordering online dont bother because if its larger than a snap bolt it would be very unlikely they will have what you want in stock. Mind you part of my order was 2 snap bolts and they managed to get that wrong as well.
DW must have tons of custom instore because if they rely on their online store it's a wonder they are still trading,

Reply as expected Billy it you did not supply me the suit I ordered if you read my item number on my order and enter into the search on DW that is a completely different style to what you sent me. I supplied you numerous links right from the beginning showing you the style I was expecting and requested

Dear Mr Clayton
Thank you for your feedback.
We have not sent you the wrong wetsuit we sent you the suit you requested which has been updated by the supplier in style. The suit is the Balance Comfort as requested and the code relates to the suit received , you then advised you wanted the previous version which we advised we would see if anyone had old stock available.
There is only myself and Saturday staff available at Divers Warehouse and I am surprised to read your information re lack of contact as I have spoken to you on numerous occasions and also email correspondence.
We are a small shop and work with Online and instore however your information regarding us holding money etc is not factual and in your case you ordered with Interest free credit with a loan company so again is not factual. If the item is not in stock the orders are requested from the suppliers we are sorry we would not order the goods from Roho and Ebay as you requested but we want to make sure our customers get the full guarantees.
Regarding the bolt snaps again there is confusion here as I spoke with you regarding the alternatives which you were happy to receive
We are sorry the suit took longer and that you are unhappy with the service received but as advised by myself once the suit is back we will speak with the finace company to refund the suit as requested
I am in on Wednesday if you would like to speak to me again feel free to call
Regards
Billy

4 weeks for refund !

Purchased camera. Returned within my rights.
Waited 4 weeks for refund. Needed to send many email, make phone calls to get it. Company blaimed updated on system and being small business. Promised to refund me postage, but another 2 weeks later and nothing.
Not happy with the service at all. Next time wetsuitoutlet (already used few times - wonderfull, now Mikes store )
Bad experience, not recommended, will never use again.

I havent received any cheque. I did send copy of my signature so they could compare. The courier they are using eithet lies or lost it.

Highly recommended

I've been to divers warehouse on several occasions. The shop staff are very friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The diving instructors are very knowledgeable and teach to a very high standard. The shop is well stocked and reasonably priced. Highly recommended for anyone from complete novice to experienced diver.

I recommend this place as it's got …compassion and friendly helpful staff

I recommend this place as it's got great informative staff and are always there to help. They are consistent with the friendliness and compassion for the job they do. They support new and old divers with anything they can. They support old and new divers at the Shipley pool on a Wednesday which was great for my husband as he had never done diving before.
Michelle is a brilliant manager and will help all the time. She has incredible staff who helped me personally with what divers gear I needed for my husband (as I'm not a diver)
All in all a really good friendly place.
