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 cover... See more

Exceptionally poor communication

Awful communication. Ordered some competitively priced shower parts showing 1-2 day delivery; received a swift acknowledgement of order. After a week of waiting, I chased with an email that was not responded to. After 2 weeks I chased by phone, to be told (politely) that the item would be another 7 days before they received it from their suppliers (so of course I cancelled the order). This is a joke. Customers should be kept informed of any delays as any serious online business would do. Item is still showing 1-2 day delivery on their website. Will not be using again and certainly will not be recommending.

Our goods have still not arrived very poor service

This item was ordered and we paid for fedex delivery. We have been without our shower for a week now and the part still has not arrived! I sent e-mail today chasing order and still do not have it. Cannot believe you want feedback when you have not supplied goods.

Good morning

I am sorry to hear that you have had to wait a week for your order to be delivered, the delivery times on our website are normally a very good indication of delivery time and these delivery times are normally met. Unfortunately our stock order took longer to come in than usual and therefore impacted on delivery of your order.

I appreciate that we should have notified you of a delay and i apologise that this did not happen. This is certainly not normal practise for the plumbing shop and i can assure you that if you do decide to shop again with us in the future it will not happen again.

I have also this morning refunded your delivery charge to go some way to apologise for the service you have received.

If you would like to discuss the matter further please feel free to contact us on 02380 382835.

Poor communication

Ordered on Monday expecting delivery within 2 days. Phoned on Wednesday am to chase only to be told that their suppliers had yet to deliver to them. Wednesday pm told that the order would be with them Thursday and delivered to me Friday. Waited around all day but nothing arrived. Phoned Friday pm only to be told that it had still not arrived with them but should be with them following Monday. Am now awaiting delivery on Tuesday. Fingers crossed!
I know that things can be delayed but please keep your customers informed of what's happening at each stage.

Good morning Mr Fowler

I am very sorry to hear that the service that you received was not the fast and efficient one that it should have been and normally is. We do normally hold these in stock but Unfortunately our stock order was delayed and therefore caused shipment of your order to be delayed.

I apologise that you had a lack of communication as we should have contacted you to inform you of the delay. Please be assures that this is not normal practise for the plumbing shop, and if you do decide to order with us again in the future i can assure you that this will not happen again.

To try to go some way to apologise i have this morning refunded your delivery charge back to your card.

If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to contact us on 02380 382835, and again please accept my sincere apologies for the delay in your order.

Completely Let Down

I recently ordered a Saniplus from you and was told it would be with me in 1-2 days. When it hadn't arrived after 3 days I called and was told that you did not in fact have any in stock and someone forgot to send me an email with that information. It cost me a wasted day as my plumber had been booked and he charged me cancellation.
I got straight on the phone to another company who had the same product delivered within 24hrs for only a few pound more. Needless to say I won't be using you again.

Good morning Mr Parry

I am sorry to hear that you had to cancel you order due to us not being able to get the goods to you fast enough, we normally offer a very fast delivery service on these items, however on this occasion our stock order delivery was delayed and therefore had an impact on some of our customers orders. I apologise that you did not receive an email notifying you of the delay and this should of happened.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused in the delay of your order,and it resulting in you having to cancel and purchasing from another company.

Water filter successfully located and supplied

Finding the brand of water filter I needed was easy enough as there were lots of sites that sold them. Some offered cheaper copies but I wanted to play safe and get the original model and H-I-E.co.uk had them in stock at a reasonable price. The order was delivered two days after the order was placed so top marks there. One very satisfied customer.

An absolute shambles, don't waste your time with these clowns.

Ordered a shower part online, 2 to 3 day delivery promise. Recieved conformation e mail of my order.
3 days later, part had not arrived, rang them, told part not in stock, will have to ring supplier, may be able to get it in about a week !

What a joke i told them to forget it. Guy on phone said the website details were not always accurate ! Pathetic.

I would recommended this company for prompt service

Having never dealt with the company before, I was looking for a shower pump and found the company to be very comparable in price. I placed the order on a Wednesday and on Friday checked to see progress. I was told that the pump was not in stock but one was expected that day. Imagine my surprise when the pump arrived by Fed Ex. on the Saturday morning. Great Service.

Quick & accurate service

Purchased replacement bath panel & toilet seat. Both arrived very quickly & well packaged. Unfortunately, the toilet seat ordered was incorrect (my error) but the returns procedure was quick and efficient.

Not received!

Wish the item had turned up before this request to review their service. So far I can only say poor as I haven't received an eta on an item I ordered a week ago!
