A+ customer service

I bought a beautiful bath tub but didn’t realise it was not going to be appropriate for the space we had. I reluctantly needed to return and the Early Settler online team were extremely understanding and patient in the process. I chose to get store credit so now my only problem is picking from all the beautiful options in store.

Excellent customer service

I wanted to have a piece of furniture delivered but my area wasn’t included in the website, so I asked for a quote. The response was timely and helpful and straightforward. I was given a quote for my address and my item was delivered. When it was delivered, some parts were missing. I emailed customer service for the parts to be delivered. They replied within 24 hours and the parts were sent out within 2 working days. Excellent support from Sam. Thank you so much!

The best customer service ever

Of course their products are top quality and gorgeous, but it's their customer service that's prompting me to leave this review. I have reached out a few times now about various things, and every time I get a timely, kind, knowledgable response. Cannot recommend highly enough!!

I received excellent customer service…

I received excellent customer service from a team member Laura. I needed to make changes to an order, and Laura was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She assisted me politely, answered all of my question, and never made me feel like I was a bother. Her patience, professionalism, and willingness to help was so greatly appreciated. Good customer service is very hard to find these days, but my experience with Laura and the company has been wonderful! I want to ensure that Laura's outstanding service & help was recognized and truly appreciated. Thank you, Laura warm regards Lucy,

Winner…

My first delivery came damaged and un usable much to my sadness.
I contacted support and explained what had happened. They were quick to make amends by offering either a refund or a replacement. I'm very happy with how my case was handled. Thank Sam 😊

Huge Disappointment!

Very disappointed with Early Settler, saw a side table I loved on sale and wanted to purchase, I was told there was none in stock and they could not sell me the one on display. They were happy for me to order, pay and wait at least eight weeks if not longer! (I don't think so) I didn't bother, they lost a sale and a customer as I won't be returning to Early Settler ever!

Sam is amazing, the systems are shocking.

You need to look at the business from a customer lens. After purchase, no tracking information is sent, i had to email to ask when a delivery would arrive. I was advised it would arrive 9 business days later. I received a text at 5:49am to let me know that delivery would be within the next six minutes.. This is the only communication that happened without my follow through, and it was rude to have such an early morning text assuming i would be onsite at a business to receive the item. I have received multiple requests for feedback but no helpful automations.

Order for Brompton bookshelf

There was an error made at the time of ordering the furniture online but when I spoke to Laura, she commited she will sort it out for us and arrange delivery of the right product. I did not have to follow up and in the next week I recieved an email with update on my order and I'll be receiving it tomorrow. That said the quality of the product still needs to be checked as I've only seen it online but this review is for the customer service experience.
