Everting's is Bad

I am writing to express my disappointment with the customer service I received from Sam.

Unfortunately, I found her to be rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. Throughout our conversation, I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, and there was no attempt to understand my situation or offer any assistance. Instead of receiving the support I expected as a customer, I was left feeling frustrated and upset.

As someone who works full-time, my time is valuable. I cannot spend my day making repeated calls or having to chase responses. I contacted Fishpools expecting professional, respectful customer service, but the service I received fell far below what any customer should expect.

This experience has completely changed my opinion of Fishpools. I genuinely regret shopping with your company and wish I had chosen to buy elsewhere. After the way I was treated, I will never shop with Fishpools again, and I certainly would not recommend your company to family, friends, or colleagues.

I simply wanted to make you aware of how disappointing my experience has been and the lasting impression it has left.

Mattress unfit for purpose

We purchased a new bed and mattress from Fishpools in February and within days the mattress developed a hump down the middle. Fishpools deny any problem with it despite the fact the hump is clearly visible even when covered by the duvet and makes sleeping uncomfortable. Very disappointed in their unwillingness to accept any responsibility. Not what we expected from them.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you remain disappointed with your mattress.

Following your concerns, we arranged for an independent technician to inspect the mattress. During the visit, a full assessment was carried out, including the relevant measurements and industry-standard checks. The technician concluded that the mattress was within the manufacturer's accepted tolerances and was not found to be faulty.

We appreciate that this was not the outcome you were hoping for. As the inspection did not identify a manufacturing fault, we are unable to offer a replacement, as it would be expected to perform in the same way. If you disagree with the findings, we have recommended obtaining an independent inspection from a recognised furniture inspection company, and we would be happy to review any new evidence they provide.

Kind regards,
Fishpools
