Good product + service but let down by checkout issues

Service and product was good, but discount mechanism at checkout is broken.
Wasted a lot of time going back and forth trying to get my welcome discount code to work, even reached out to their Support team who were nice but did not resolve it. Ended up purchasing without the discount anyway but wasted time going in circles.

Thank you for your 3★ review.

We’re really sorry to read your feedback. It looks like you were trying to use an out-of-date promo code, which expired in March 2024. We’re not sure if this code was ever emailed to you or if it appeared in a search engine as an active code.

Occasionally, expired promo codes can still appear in search engines or on third-party websites, which can make them seem active even though they have expired. Unfortunately, our system only accepts valid, current promo codes.

Kind Regards,

Heidi

Thank you for your 1* review, Geoff.

I can see that you have been in contact with our Customer Service Manager, who advised that DPD has your order and it is scheduled for re-delivery today.

Records show that DPD attempted delivery twice, on 3rd and 4th March, but were unable to locate your premises. Unfortunately, they have let us both down on this occasion. This is particularly frustrating as we despatched your order in good time, the next working day after your order was placed.
