Great service

Item received was genuine, exactly as expected and with quick delivery. I just wish delivery outside of Europe was an option.

Very poor customer service.

I placed an order on Sunday for a remote control for my garage door. It wasn’t an easy transaction as their pay method rejected my cc twice prior to acceptance. I wanted two controllers but realised right at the end that the + button on the side hadn’t worked. It did only charge for one but the carriage charge was an exhorbitant £6+ which is why I wanted to order two together. I attempted to telephone the following morning at around 09.30 but they were not responding to any of their telephone numbers. I emailed them at 10.00 explaining asking them to add an additional remote and charge to the same credit card. They eventually replied at 15.51 to say they could do nothing, they had just dispatched my order. Suggesting I reorder, which would of course attract another carriage charge. I did respond to their email but did not receive the courtesy of a further reply. Very poor / non existent customer service! It gets worse! Only due to my review (no other communication) they eventually offered by a code for free delivery to place a further order. The code lasted 24 hours! When I attempted to use it the prices on their site had increased to a similar cost to that which I previously paid including carriage. These people are ‘a waste of space’. They know nothing about customer service. To me customer service is about responding in a timely manner, not two weeks later. On 30th I sent a further complaint, have I received a response NO. They’re either so busy they need more staff or just can’t be bothered!

We have received your complaint and would like to apologise for any delay in responding.
If the order has been dispatched, we no longer have the option of modifying it.
However, if you need the second remote control, we have sent you an email with a promotional code so that you can place a new order without shipping costs.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need any further information.

Ordered a fob (I needed 8 across different properties, but ordered only 1 to begin with after reading negative reviews)

A month later, called them to say I hadn’t received it, even though I had an email for feedback on the undelivered product. They said it’s out of stock, obsolete. Though still being advertised for sale?

So I asked for a refund. Never received it. Still trying to recover the money. Would definitely not recommend ordering from this company.

Update; I have now received a refund. So upgraded review to 2 stars due to selling item with no stock .
