Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A company who will take time to help customers!

The customer service I received from a number of staff at HUGHIE WILLETT was first class. I made a mistake in ordering hedge trimmer that was not suitable for me.
Basically, I ordered a model that would prove a little heavy for me, I am 81yrs of age. The help I had in deciding which model was more suitable from Serena and Mat was excellent.
The collection of the unsuitable model and the delivery of a more appropriate machine was organised professionally and went without an hitch.

First class service and I would recommend this company.

BEWARE WORST COMPANY REVIEWS IVE SEEN…

BEWARE WORST COMPANY REVIEWS IVE SEEN WHERE THERE IS MORE BAD REVIEWS THAN GOOD REVIEWS.
Was buying Kubota mower blades online and was told by their staff on the phone they would refund the postage cost after I put the order through and after chasing this up after the parts had arrived, I was on the phone with a director from this company for about 15 minutes arguing about £6 I had been promised by her staff, she also stated her job was on the line if she refunded this money which says a lot about the company

In response to Hughie Williet reply, I'd like to set the record straight, I phoned this company when I had items in my basket which was over the spend limit to get free delivery but still showed a delivery charge in my basket and was told by member of staff over the phone just put order through and P&P would be refunded after chasing this up after the goods had arrived was told it was new member of staff and she shouldn't have said that, which has to be the responsibility of this company for not informing there staff.

Thank you for your order. After placing the order through our website (which clearly showed there was a delivery charge ) you then called the sales team and demanded a refund of the carriage ?!. You tried to get different members of the team to refund and was then put through to a director who offered you a 50% discount on the carriage as a gesture of goodwill. We do value all of our customers and they business they share with us, and do our best to help wherever we can. It is unreasonable to give us 1 star when there was nothing incorrect with the order process, your parts, the speed you received your order or the service you received.

Emailed these a while ago

Finnaly got my parts, lack of communication, eg, not keeping in contact and letting me know. But I got the parts sent, took almost a week to receive it, and couldn't track it. Sort these out and your get 5 stars. Not sure I'd order again due to all of this, but will see.

Wanted to purchase a Husqvarna 420TsX…

Wanted to purchase a Husqvarna 420TsX AWD with 122cm deck in January. They had one in stock and I would have happily bought it.

However, after a promising start, I sent various information expecting a call back. Had to chase and (fair enough) she'd missed the email, but promised to come back to me after reading it. Never did. So, you screwed up the second chance.

So, I ordered one from Russells (Cubley) a few days later - even though I had to wait. Great service. Kept me informed and matched Hughie Willett price. Also bought a flail and now ordering a rotating brush and snowplough.

If this is how you treat your potential new customers, I dread to think how your after-sales service might be.

£18k sale lost, and I now have also ordered a new ATV which I would have (possibly) bought through you as well.

Sorry to all the other employees there who may have made a better first impression. No excuse for such a poor interaction with new customer. Glad I didn't spend my money with you.

Seriously - do better!

EDIT: Thank you for your response

Hi Tony, We are very sorry to hear that we lost your business, and apologise for the loss of contact that caused this. Your business is important to us. Last year was extremely busy for us, coupled with changes in 2 keys members of staff which led to an overwhelming workload which we failed to keep up with. We are now back on track, with trained staff and apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Awful customer service

Awful customer service/company to deal with. Order a automower, didn’t work! Told to send it back to them for repair they ended up sending back to manufacture for repair. Asked for a new replacement told to wait. 6wks of endless emails with no reply and phone calls they finally refunded the money. Brought an extension kit for auto mower witch they told me to and they never refunded that money saying it wasn’t broken but I had brought under there recommended for a machine that didn’t work! Nor replace with a new machine!
Will not be giving them my business again

Hi Jon, When you buy a different brand of automower to the one you had originally there will always be differences in how they function. We fully appreciate that switch from one brand to another is not always easy. With this in mind we had the machine back and gave you a full refund for the machine ( not sure why you have not reflected this in your review ? ) and all accessories even though you did not return everything. The model of automower you bought has been so successful this year that it sold out across the UK and the wait for a replacement was down to that. We are sorry for the difficulties you have had with this brand but you can see that we have supported you as our customer.

Excellent service

Excellent service. Ordered a Stihl Chain Saw at 19:40 on Tuesday 14th February. Had the shipping email at 08:13 on Wednesday 15th and the saw was delivered by Parcelforce before 11:00 on Thursday 16th. The saw is perfect and was a great price. Certainly couldn’t better the service. Hughie Willett Machinery have my recommendation and I would definitely buy from them again.

Ordered and paid for a chainsaw which was shown as in stock. Week later no saw and when I called was told their website and inventory weren't linked. Saw was going to take another 3 weeks so cancelled order and got immediate refund so glad for that. They need to make stock inventory connection to save time wasting.
