Poor customer service

Very poor customer service,
One items arrived damaged (another with a loose heavy duty staple that I didn't claim for)
Emailed multiple times, the first with a response and then no further responses since December.
Not the highest value but not great that they just stop responding...

Hi Hannah,

I am very sorry if we missed your email and our customer support did not meet your expectations.

We would never ignore a customer or their request for help, but sometimes, technology can fail us. That is why we provide a dedicated phone line for our customers to contact us if they need assistance.

I tried to contact you today, but there was no answer, so I left a voicemail and sent a follow-up email.

I am very keen to resolve this issue for you and to make sure that you are happy, irrelevant of this review and if you shop with us in the future.

We pride ourselves on good customer service and aim to do everything possible to service our customers to the best of our ability.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Anguel

I recently discovered this amazing pet supplies store, and I couldn't be happier with their products. The store offers a great variety of eco-friendly and sustainable pet supplies, which align perfectly with my values. From biodegradable poop bags to organic treats, they prioritize the well-being of pets and the environment.

I've been very happy to purchase from the store, but that's all over now. Extremly bad customer service

Udateret!

I can prove, via my e-mail that they DID NOT answer my e-mails i send, after i asked why the shipping costed 32.99£, when i usually pay 25.00£
why on earth would i otherwise write here, what would be my purpose?ive bought toys for 20 years, and never ever had any problems anywhere.

So now im sitting here with no toys for my parrot, because the toys i wanted,can only be bought from them.
How dare they call me a liar??

He started to talk about, that their response was in my spam, thats ridiculous all our communication is gathered in 1 long thread. Not in spam.
I got the must obnixious and rude answer i ever had from them, the called me an unfair person and a liar. I still have the e-mail. And I can eventuel send it to you.

Its absurd and offending that my credibilty is on the line here. I xan take screenshot of our communication,and send it Trustpilot, and you will see, that I indeed never receiver answers.

I wanted to make an order and I couldn't on their site, like normally now it is via mail and thats pretty annoying.
I made the order via mail. I had a 5 % discount so i was glad.
When they so send me the price for the order, I saw the shipping was 32.99£ and I normally pay 25.00£.

I asked howcome i had to pay more, and got NO answer. I wait one day, two days still no answer.

I then kindly asked if they could send me my order, NO answer. Here 4 days after i still have NO answer. That is not only unprofessionel, it's also rude.

So I am done with that company.

Hi Claudia,

It is a real shame that Trust Pilot does not allow us to post a screenshot of the response to all of your emails. My colleague Ben emailed you less that 16 hours after you submitted the email with a full quotation and a detailed anaswer.

And yes postage is expensive and the price of postage varies based on the size and weight of the parcel.

Claudia, you requested a shipping quotation and we have provided you with one in less than one working day.
I don't really understand why are you so upset?
This is the best price we can get for shipping to Denmark based on the size and weight of your parcel but there is no obligation for you to pay for it. It is only a quotation.

We wish you all the best.

Kind regards,

Anguel

Hi Claudia.
I am sorry you are disappointed but we explained to you over and over.
Since you live in Denmark we have to prepared a custom quote for you which will include your discount and shipping quote.
Since the UK is no loner part of the EU we cannot simply send order out.
I am very sorry but we do not make the rules.

PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER.
We responded to the dousen of emails you have sent to you.

Kind regards,

Anguel

Dishonest seller

Good selection and good prices, however customer service and the speed and requests solving just nightmare. I returned the items directly to warehouse and received piece of paper as a proof of delivery by Chris and signed by Ben who is not working on Fridays. Also I received phone call and email from Anguel ensuring me that I will get refund back following week. After over a week waiting, I decided to send follow up email on my refund and guess what, Anguel responded to me that refund was issued few days ago… I have to contact PayPal to resolve this issue as Parrots essentials is not helpful at all. Threatening me that if I send another email to them it will go straight away into their spam.
Please avoid, not worth it for the hassle of few pounds cheaper items.

This is the “HONEST” response from owner himself:
As I said you were refunded, and I am not sure why PayPal did not send you the money back. If you didn't open the case, I could have called them and asked them to trace the payment and make sure it is processed. Once you have a case open, I am no longer able to call about this payment, and all I can do is answer any questions they submit via the case.
​Either way you will receive your refund because it was issued and PayPal eventually will get to the bottom of this.

If you need my help please go and delete the 1 star review which is not true at all and close the case. Once the case is closed I can call and ask them to action the refund.

Kind regards,

Anguel

Dear Petra.

It is very sad to see the extend of your effort to lie and deceive. As per my emails and phone calls we have issued a refund and it is your own fault for making a mistake in the claim.

It is a REAL SHAME that I am not able to attach a copy of the emails to you and to PayPal trying to assist you with this issue.

Then everyone will see that your 1 star review is dishonest and aiming at smearing our reputation.

Have a nice day

Great site for all your bird needs

I got my first bird last year and found all the pet stores are limited on toys and treats, I am so happy I found this site there is so much choice. My bird likes the honey sticks and fruit bars. I will be using this site for all my bird needs from now on. The order is well packaged when it arrives and I have found from order to delivery its very fast. No issues here I have recommended this site to everyone I know has a bird. Thank you Parrot Essentials for a great service

Parrot Essentials are the tops

We were looking for a supplier of parrot care essentials - toys and jelly pots. Most of the local pet stores stocked a limited range that were destroyed in minutes. We found Parrot Essentials on the web and decided to give them a try. The range is excellent and the quality of the toys is much more appropriate to the destructive force of a parrot beak! The management of our order was superb and we were given regular updates on order status and delivery. Each item comes with an attached card that gives specific advice and guidance on introduction and useage. Full marks to Parrot Essentials and we will be buying again.

No response when contacted

Great range of products and quick delivery however one of my items (food tumbler) was very stiff to rotate, even for me. I emailed last week to ask for if they had any solutions or if I could exchange it for another one. Got an automatic acknowledgment response but no one ever got back to me. I will avoid in future as I think being able to get in contact with a company is important.
I have ended up having to keep the faulty tumbler as it was my last day caring for the animals. I would have liked them to get a working one which could have been achieved if the company did not ignore me.
