Poor service - expensive mistake to use them.

Husband ordered product with (at least one) back-up phone call to clarify that it was correct item for our purpose. It is not correct item, however, as the tradesman has torn the outer cardboard covering and the plastic sheet inside, they refuse to have the item returned (despite it being, obviously, in absolutely perfect condition). Now I assumed it was going to be the right thing, and so did the tradesman - my husband had made the back-up call! Unfortunately, I've had to deal with it myself. So that is almost £100 to throw in the bin, and I would describe it as an unreasonable return policy. In addition the sales assistant was rude on the phone today. Do not use this company unless you are 100% certain of the technical specification of the items you are ordering.

Very poor customer services

Ordered with them because of the price. It took two weeks to let me know it was out of stock, and two months and a lot of phone calls to get the item I ordered, they rarely phoned back when I asked them to chase up the order. Will never use again.

Illuminating reflections!!

We are really pleased with our super illuminated mirror from h-I-e co ltd. It has transformed our bathroom and we have had so many positive comments from friends paying us a visit - in more ways than one!
The mirror was so easy to install, especially once I realised that the mounts were on an exact 15 inch square, and the build quality is excellent.
Our mirror was dispatched quickly and was possibly the best packed item that I have ever received - I have nothing but praise for this purchase and certainly made a very welcome saving over buying from several other suppliers.
Buy one and reflect in leisure!

Disappointing

I had high hopes after reading the online reviews. Unfortunately, after placing the order I have e-mailed (no response), had to phone twice to chase the goods (told twice it was out of stock). I am still waiting for the delivery - I have now been promised Saturday (14 days from placing order - this is not the quick service I expected). I wait to see if it arrives!

Quality item at greate price but very slow delivery

I ordered the sink strainer on Friday 24th Jan expecting it take two working days to arrive. Considering the cost of shipping at £5.80 I actually thought two days was a bit long. It did not arrive so I queried h-i-e and they apologised for delayed delivery and said it would arrive Thursday 30th. It arrived on Friday 31st and the FedEx label said it was only sent on the 30th.

I can't fault the item or the purchase price but they need to up their game on delivery.

misleading item description

I ordered a honeywell room thermostat with indicator. I specifically oredred this item from sakes@h-i-e.co.uk , and paid more money than from others, because thery showed a light idicator in the picture of the thermostat on the order page. When i received the item after abour 10 days, I discovered the thermostat had no light idicator.
I called the company and I was told that this was the item I had ordered. They asked me to return it, which I did by recorded delivery on the 23rd of January and I have not received any acknowledgement of receipt or refund as yet. I feel they should include in the refud the delivery costs (which they are not willing to do) due to the misleading graphic description of the item.

could not ask for better

We pick a supplier based on convenience, price and quality of service. The Plumbing Shop ticks all boxes. I placed my order at 2.00 pm on Friday. The site says 2/3 working days for delivery and my goods arrived early doors on the following Wednesday.
Service was good - within the time specified.
Ordering could not have been easier.
The price was better than any local suppliers and the manufacturer. Saved over £20!

Communication & Delivery ???????????????????

Placed order on Jan 4th , received e-mail confirmation on Jan 7th .................then nothing , no product arrived , no email to tell me what was going on ..... nothing .
Two e-mails drew no response whatsoever . In the end I phoned to be told , product out of stock they hoped to be getting them in on Jan 25th so I should receive my item early the following week.
The best part of a month to fulfil an order ...... not very impressive ..... that is of course if it arrives when I've been told it will ..... who knows !!!!!!
