Placed an order on May 3rd
Placed an order on May 3rd.
The items were for social distancing items to ensure I can reopen my business safely. The online process asks you to pick a date you require the items by (a suggestion they are working hard to help you meet your requirements).
I was contacted as an item was out of stock and was told to wait for the a couple days for the sales person to find an alternative. Two days later, I contacted this person (on the personal mobile number provided) to make them aware that I chose something else with another supplier. As for the other items, even though the items were sold as social distancing stickers, I had to request that these be printed with the artwork advertised by phonecall.
Meanwhile I ordered another item separately from the company which has thankfully been dispatched. The original order, however, had no confirmed delivery day or even an estimation. I called back two days ago and was told I'd hear back from the salesperson that day or the next. Upon hearing nothing, I sent a text (to the personal number provided) expressing my disappointment, I heard nothing back. I called today only to be told that the order should indeed be cancelled. All-in-all the lack of transparency and inability to keep their word, I have wasted 10 days in securing vital social distancing items for my business.
I am not surprised or disappointed that it had taken longer, I am only upset with the lack of communication and meaningless reassurance from the salesperson - feeling like I was strung along.
Honesty and clarity would have been appreciated rather than to be waiting for 10 days only to be told the order should be cancelled if I expected it two weeks after ordering.
I will now receive the items from another supplier next week (20 days after the initial order).
I strongly advise that you make much clearer statements on expectations and what you can actually deliver. You may blame the ongoing situation, and myself, on slowing down your process, however, the lack of clarity has cost my small business and has caused the customer unnecessary stress - something there has been no apology for.
