I liked dealing with the sales team

I liked dealing with the sales team. I liked the efficiency of the delivery drivers/installers. I absolutely abhorred the attitude of the delivery centre call staff they were unhelpful and uncooperative. They promised a call back it never came they are awful.

Ciao James,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

I am pleased to see that you were happy with the service from the sales team and the delivery crew however I apologise that you did not receive a call back after speaking with our bookings team. This is not the experience that we would want for our customers and I will certainly pass on your comments to the relevant teams.

Kind regards,

It was lovely to actually walk around and not be bothered my the sales team. Yes, they occasionally asked if you were ok or even if I wanted a drink, but nothing like a cars sales team looking for commissions.

The only downside, is the wait for the call to arrange delivery, especially after paying hig amounts for a sofa. There should be more emphasis on after sales care, as there is in the shop.

Don’t even think of ordering from Poltronesofa SCS

Well it all started OK, we spent an hour choosing the sofa, long discussions were had with Jamie, about a Viserba power recliner corner sofa as displayed in the store, we wanted the exact same sofa (reverse hand) except for colour. Then Jamie went on to ask, Did we want reclining headrests etc etc. No thanks, that’s what we want, just the recliner, there, which at the time was on offer at £2599. We asked and Jamie confirmed, that it was £2599 as is. We then initially were told it was only £20 extra for the change of Colour, then he corrected himself saying £120. Then he added delivery of £129. We paid a deposit of £900. Jamie had trouble with the tab he was using to process the order, saying they were having problems putting orders through. He was extremely helpful and told us he’d put the order through later in the day, due to the computer problems. The way they operate, the representative reads out what you want, then you just get a blank screen presented to you on a tab and are asked to sign with your finger, for them to place the order. So you’re left to trust that the representative has put through the correct details. Now Jamie we trusted, and we don’t think it was his fault. So when the sofa came yesterday, and they put it together, and went to leave, I said ‘hang on a minute, where’s the electrics for the recliner? They told us that was what we ordered, which was not true. We spent ages with Jamie discussing the recliner. We paid for the model with the recliner. So we told them to take it away, it was not usable for us without the recliner. Mrs Kendall is severely disabled and very poorly and we needed a recliner with a chaise so she can look out to her garden. We phoned head office and the store and they said we had ordered and signed for the model without the recliner. As I explained, we don’t know what was put through on the computer later that day. The description is very long winded on the www, and well we trusted the expert, their expert to have put the order through properly. We initially got blown off, until Jamie phoned us back saying yes it was his fault, he had spoken to a colleague who remembered the computer problems, and he remembered helping us choose the colour and discussing the importance of the recliner,due to Mrs Kendall being a wheelchair user. Jamie assured us that we would get a full refund or we would have the option of waiting for the correct sofa. He told us the manager wasn’t there today, but he would phone us the next day, today, and arrange the refund. That’s not what happened though, the manager phoned saying he will have to wait until tomorrow to see what could be done, but that as we signed, it was always considered final. So we got blown off today, instead of getting the refund we were due, we got an excuse of having to talk to someone else tomorrow. My wife was already seriously ill, and because of this we nearly lost her last night. So we will have to involve our lawyer and credit card company. As I said, don’t go there.
On looking at the website today, we believe that as there are so many versions of this sofa, with recliner, without recliner, right hand, left hand, recliner with power head rests, recliner without power headrests. They’ve just accidentally put through the order wrong later in the day, due to the server problem Jamie remembered occurring at the time, when he spoke to us and owned the error. And if you note the reply from Poltronesofa, it just confirms how dangerous this company and it’s procedures are. Just don’t go near them is my advice.

Good Morning,

I hope you are well and thank you for taking the time to leave us your review.

I am very sorry to see that your furniture was not as expected when the delivery team arrived and I can completely understand how upsetting this must have been for you both.

The furniture does match what was ordered and shown on your document however we are unable to comment on what was discussed with the sales person in store.
I will certainly pass a message on to the store, and ask that you do receive the call back as soon as possible to discuss this further.

Kind regards

Two lovely delivery drivers

Two lovely delivery drivers, Taha 2 and Taha mate 2 delivered my leather settees and chair with great care. Set it all up, explained how the recliners worked and we're very polite.

We were very happy with all staff we had dealings with. We did feel we could have been kept more updated on order. We had just a text to say delivery was due. Would of like a bit more time with delivery team with time to discuss any problems. Would recommend poltornesofa.

Diane is amazing

Your member of staff. What a wonderful welcome we received from Diane, she was bubbly, cheerful and very helpful. She demonstrated the mechanics of the sofa bed for us, went through pricing and requirements patiently and didn't push us when we said we needed to think about it as it was very expensive (£1,000 over the budget we had set) When we returned two weeks later she greeted us like friends, coo's over the baby, made us coffee and happily went through all the details again before completing the sale.
