Avoid!

I used this company to buy a product through Amazon - the experience from core product (breaking) and trying to work with the manufacturer (CDA) to resolve, to trying to get mychoice to take some responsibility to help, to trying to get Amazon take some responsibility has all been painful, frustrating and pointless. All 3 - CDA, mychoice and Amazon I will be avoiding from now on...cheapest isn't always best in the long run, and if they really don't care about post-sale customer service then if you have problems you're on your own! I think high street brands are more reliable, John Lewis for me next time.

Very poor service

Very poor service. Ordered a tumble dryer on 17 Dec, that has still not arrived despite lies by the courier to say they have attempted delivery. Have emailed MyChoice twice - not even bothered to answer.

Avoid it!!

Avoid it!!
I had a very bad experience with this retailer. I bought a faulty fridge for a over £1300 and they refused to take any responsibility.
Even worse, they provided me with a misleading information abut the warranty. Very unprofessional company and including top management.

Mychoice order

I bought a Hoover condenser dryer. I was very please with the communication. I was informed of my delivery time slot by text, email and called on the day by the delivery men. They were very helpful and friendly. They took my packaging and even put it in the slot for me.

All in all a stress free experience and with the 2 hour time slot I didnt waste my Saturday waiting for a delivery.

DISGUSTING SERVICE

DISGUSTING SERVICE
I really wish that I had looked at this review site before making a purchase from MyChoice, it would have saved so much heartache.
I purchased a wine cooler which arrived on time without problem; the packaging looked OK and I didn't unpack completely until 6 days after receipt. To my surprise, the cooler base was bent, indicating that the item had received a heavy blow or, more likely dropped.
The damage was reported but MyChoice invoked their 3 day policy rule whereby no returns or compensation would be considered. I'm still perusing a claim but wanted to post this message as soon as possible to warn others. As I look at other posts it's clear that I'm not the only one experiencing this problem with MyChoice so please be warned and perhaps think about other options before purchasing from this company.

BEWARE THE THREE DAY DAMAGE REPORTING…

BEWARE THE THREE DAY DAMAGE REPORTING RULE!

I feel as if I have narrowly avoided being scammed. Fortunately I discovered a serious dent in the top of my new CDA wine cooler and a sheered hinge, just minutes after taking delivery.

The cooler was delivered far quicker than advertised, which could have resulted in me being unprepared for installation and so I could easily have missed the three day reporting deadline for damaged goods. (See review below).

The redeeming factor is that My Choice dealt with my report of damage very expediently and replaced the damage cooler within a few days. That said, the imposition of a piece of junk (i.e. the original cooler) and packaging whilst waiting for a replacement item was a significant inconvenience over the weekend which I could have done without.

0 stars if I could

0 stars if I could. I bought a hand luggage case from this company which within 7 days broke. Contacting the company I was told I would have to contact the maker. I advised it was clearly within 30 days for return set out in the Consumer Rights Act, I was then dismissed and an email followed with the contact for the supplier.
I replied with my rights set out by Consumer Rights Act and have never received a reply.
Contacting the supplier they confirmed it was the retailer who was responsible in this situation.
I am unable to get a response from mychoice.
My advice avoid, avoid,avoid.

Lost suitcase

I ordered a suitcase a week ago. Still not arrived. I chased yesterday, promised a call back which didn't happen. Rang again this morning. Told its lost in the system! Not good enough. Off on holiday tomorrow, so I'm going to have to make a 28 mile round trip into town to purchase one. Annoyed.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ORDER OFF…

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT ORDER OFF THIS COMPANY! My item has come damaged but because i didnt take it out the box and check the outside of the item they now will not take this item back or exchange it. Cant get the manager to speak with us . Wasted alot of money on something i cant use ! This item has not come out the box and i have proof of this with pictures!

As for your reply you dont check the item before you sign it so thats a pointless reply and i did have a quick look inside the packaging but you dont expect a brand new item to come damaged when the box isnt damaged, which means you send out damaged items as proof of the item not being out the box (still in plastic) I work with alot of kitchen fitters and i will make sure no one orders from your company. Even cda have offered a good will gesture and i didnt even order off them . Its disgusting you treat your customers like this. Not a good way to run a business!!

Dear Mrs Faulkner,

We are sorry to learn you feel Mychoice did nothing to help support your claim.

We can confirm you placed your order on the 29.06.2018 and the item was delivered on the 09.07.2018.

This delivery was signed for in perfect condition, as confirmed by Mr Faulkner today (18.09.18)

69 days later on the 16.09.2018, you contacted Mychoice, to confirm that the Sink you had received on the 09.07.2018 was damaged.

We can confirm the item was delivered and signed for as complete, with no damage reported in the first 3 working days, as per our policy. We confirmed that like all reputable retailers, we have a damage policy which requires the customer to report any damage within the first 3 working days. We informed you that as this was reported 69 days after your delivery, we were unable to exchange for a new model, as per your request. Although out of time for us to support any exchange as the item is damaged and not faulty, we advised you that we would contact CDA, in order to see if they could support where possible. We can confirm we spoke not only to the CDA customer care team but also escalated this to our Regional Account Manager of which the final confirmation came that CDA were not able at this very late stage, to consider an exchange.

While we appreciate your disappointment and that fact that you did not report the damage within 3 days, we feel that it is very unfair and misleading, that your review gives the Impression to other consumers that we do not help or listen to our customers. This is clearly not true and not representative of mychoice customer service.

We can confirm that at all times, we look to help our customers where possible and feel your review is very unfair, misleading and not representative to the facts of this matter. Your review states that "Cant get the manager to speak with us", which again is very misleading, as we have stated that this would happen later today (18/09/18).

If you wish to contact us to discuss at any time please contact us on 01442 502460 and ask for Guy.

Kind Regards

My tumble dryer was delivered without any grumbles from the delivery men. They put it in my utility room for me but unfortunately when I came to take the packaging off there was a dent and scratch on the side. This is disappointing considering it's meant to be brand new.

Payment taken for out of stock item and still waiting for refund 14 days after cancellation/17 days after initial order.

Ordered microwave on the 6/5/17 supposed to be delivered on the 9/5/17 then get a phone call off them on the 9/5/17 saying they haven't got the item in stock and won't be getting it until the middle of June. Payment was taken anyway told refund would take 5 days, it is now 23/5/17 (14 days later) and still no refund. Good job I had spare funds to purchase a microwave else where otherwise I would still have no microwave!
Item is still for sale on website with no mention of delay even though the issue has been raised that it will not be in stock until the middle of June. Product- Hotpoint MWH 2622 microwave.

Quicker shipment than advertised, good price, great service

I have ordered a Samsonite suitcase from mychoice.co.uk as they had it discounted and had the best price I could find online. The item I received was a genuine Samsonite product in original packaging. Only 3-5 days shipping was available on the site, but at checkout I left a note and asked for next day postage, if possible as I left for a two weeks holiday next evening. To my surprise with no extra costs the luggage arrived next day in the morning. Excellent service, will be buying from them in the future.

Worst service... Please buy elsewhere if you don't want the headache of getting a perfect item for your money!!

Having bought a CDA wine cooler from MyChoice (delivered 19 Aug), I overlooked the 3 day's reporting time to report damage. The appliance was dented in 2 places at the back (clearly dropped at some point during transit). Having opened 2 weeks later when ready to install into a new kitchen we discovered the extensive damage.
Unfortunately this is where we found out that MyChoice were not willing to help if you do not report within the 3 day's to report any damage!
I have since contacted CDA and one of their reps agreed to exchange; but it seems that whether its Management at MyChoice or CDA, the terms and conditions will always come before the customer! Don't lose out by overlooking the terms as I did! You won't get any help... I have now installed a damaged wine cooler into my new kitchen and it's barely just 30 days since the purchase!

Dear Mrs Beecher

We are sorry to learn you feel Mychoice did nothing to help support your claim.

We can confirm you placed your order on the 16.08.2016 and the item was delivered on the 19.08.2016. This delivery was signed for in perfect condition.

19 days later on the 07.09.2016, a call was placed through to Mychoice, to confirm a dent at the back of the item.

We can confirm the item was delivered and signed for as complete, with no damage reported in the first 3 working days, as per our policy.

Attentative Transaction

We have just bought a Smeg Fridge Freezer from MyChoice as they were the cheapest supplier online. Initially we were a bit frustrated about the length of time the delivery was taking but this was in part due to a lack of understanding on their part that Orkney is an island. A problem we encounter often. With delayed delivery, I started to read reviews and was horrified by what I was reading. I started to wonder if we would get the fridge at all. When it did eventually arrive we found on unpacking the fridge that it was damaged on one of the side panels. Although disappointed about this I could see from damage to the box that this was due to delivery miss handling and insufficient packaging on the part of Smeg. We contacted Marianne at MyChoice and she and her team could not have been more helpful. One week on and we have been offered a percentage refund which we are more than happy with as we will be able to position the fridge in a way that the damage won't be seen unless you are looking closely. The only reason I have not given MyChoice 5 stars is due to the lack of knowledge as to how long goods can take to get to Orkney. Other than that we couldn't be happier with the way that MyChoice have dealt with our sale and complaint. Thank you

Very poor

Customer service terrible. Order placed 9 sept with headline delivery within 7 days. No contact from them confirming delivery date so I contacted them to be told delivery was 22sept. (13 days). Booked a fitter and day off work. Rang on 22sept to confirm del. was advised not coming til sat 24th. They were not interested in my complaint about length of time and extra cost for cancelling fitter/ day off work. Didn't apologise for not letting me know. No contact or updates regarding order. Basically they couldn't care less. Do not use this company.

Dear Mr Wilson,

As discussed, we can confirm you placed your order on the 09.09.2016 and Mychoice emailed you to the email address on your order, on the 12.09.2016, to inform you of a slight delay to your planned delivery date, and that the confirmed delivery date was set for the 22.09.2016. As requested, we have forwarded a copy of this email, to the new email address given, as you stated that you never received our original email. We trust this clarifies your claim that you had no contact regarding the delivery date.

We received a call from you on the morning of the delivery 22.09.2016 to ask what time the delivery maybe. Upon further investigation, it transpired a systems error had placed your delivery for Saturday 24.09.2016 and not the scheduled date of 22.09.2016.

We apologised and after Senior Management Intervention, we agreed for a pre 10am delivery on Friday 23.09.2016 and we emailed you to confirm these arrangements. We can confirm the delivery was completed on Friday 23.09.2016.

As discussed, we have now updated your new email address and of course, sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused on the scheduled day of delivery and can confirm we did intervene as soon as we were able, to rectify the issue.

We trust you are now satisfied with the eventual outcome as laid out in our email to you on the 22.09.16 and if you wish to contact us to discuss at any time, please contact us on 01442 502460 and ask for Guy.

Kind Regards

Life's too short to spend anything with is company

Naturally it will cost you money when you shop online but 'My Choice' will also take your time and sanity too.

Yeah, I hadn't heard of the company before but they had what I wanted plus I could purchase it for £20 less than anywhere else and they could deliver next day.

2 weeks on, I'm £400 lighter, have spent hours on the phone and email and still haven't received my appliance due to a series of errors.

Yeah, you may save a few quid going with 'My Choice' but personally I'd rather spend the extra and receive the item rather than spend it on my phone bill trying to speak to them.

Life can be stressful enough, go on spend the extra and treat yourself, you deserve it.
