Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service - would highly recommend and will purchase from them again! Bought 2 lots of exterior door furnishings from here, husband turned up not realising it was online / trade but staff were extremely helpful and served him, discussing required products and taking time to talk through items required. The day before our doors were fitted we realised the door knobs were too wide, and travelled back with items in original packaging hoping they could help us. The lady who I spoke to was extremely helpful, no quibble regarding exchanging anything, a refund or credit note was offered but as we needed new handle the lady took time to check what was a suitable alternative and what was in stick.
Brilliant service, would recommend everyone to try them rather than going straight to the gigger named stores. Thanks again, you were super helpful!

Wrong items delivered & no response to emails

Ordered multiple cupboard door handles. Paper work says correct size but completely wrong size delivered. No response to emails.

As others have said would give 0 stars if possible.

Dear Zoe, firstly may we apologise for sending the incorrect product to you. This was a picking error. With reference to your comments no reply to emails, we received your first email yesterday afternoon at 16.57pm, the business closes at 5pm. Your second email was sent this morning at 9.51am. As a business we do try and respond to emails within the working day. Having spoken with your husband we have now arranged for replacements and collection to be made this Friday. As we resolved the problem efficiently and within a respectable timeframe we would have not expected a review as unfair as this.
Kind regards,
Simply Door Handles

If I could give minus 5 stars I would

If I could give minus stars I would. poor quality door handles, terrible customer service. tried to get away with not refunding me my delivery cost initially (as other people have written in their reviews) I managed to get them to send that. then they refused to refund my return postage when there was clearly issues with their product! Scammers, I shouldn’t have given them the benefit of the doubt. SHOP AT YOUR OWN RISK!! However they want to spin their response there were inconsistencies in the product and it want as advertise, BUYER BE WARNED don’t be left with regrets like me and many others who didn’t take bad reviews to heart.

Hello, the product you purchased from us was the Carlisle Brass chrome Victorian cupboard knob which is supplied from one of the UKs leading architectural hardware suppliers. Firstly we do not supply any poor quality door handles, before we retail any products within our range we assess the products quality and design. After your initial complaint we inspected all our stock and could not find any faults with the knobs, after you returned the goods several of our staff inspected the items as a result of the nature and wording of your several emails and again we could not see any variations in the products size or finish. We are 100% not scammers and try our best to provide quality products and service.

Simply appalling

"Nickel" door handles peeling off. Never seen this before. Reply from customer service: "we don't guarantee the finish of any handles".

Poor quality product

Poor quality product. Bad customer service.
After only 2 years of fair use and gentle clean, the handles we bought from Simply Door Handles started peeling off.
When contacted, customer service doesn't mind selling poor quality products.
Avoid!

Hello Alex, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. After looking into your correspondence I am sorry to see the black nickel handle insert has deteriorated, however the damage caused to the handles and the place where the plating has been removed is not consistent with normal use. Many factors can cause the finish to deteriorate like the use of paint cleaners, alcohol based hand sanitisers, contamination from oils and hand cleaners etc and also scratching from jewellery, which is why branded manufacturers do not guarantee finishes only the mechanical function of the handle. We do not retail sub standard products and have had no other complaints regarding handle finishes deteriorating in this manner. Best regards, Simply Door Handles

careful if you might need to return anything

The problem with this company seems to be returns/refunds. I sent back my order as it was not suitable. It was, thankfully, returned by recorded delivery. It took me over a month, many emails and threats of legal action before I was refunded. Excuses included Covid 19, could not find the returned goods and then finally finding the goods back on the sale counter!
It may be ok to use this company but only if you are positive you will not need to return anything.

Dear Jeff Johnson, as per our numerous emails, the delay with your refund was due to us misplacing your parcel for which are very sorry. We are sure you will have now received your refund as this was processed over a week ago. We do hope that you didn't have contact your police federation legal advisor as you suggested.

missing items

The hardware that was delivered was excellent, however there were several items missing, not of great value, hinges and latches, but all the same I like things to match I contacted the company, they replied and said they were waiting for their warehouse to get back to them. In the end I had to purchase missing items from another source. would not bother using this company again.

Dear Martin, We are really sorry that the hinges and latches were missing. All items were in stock so there is no reason for this and we have refunded you for the three contract latches and hinges on your order. Best regards. Simply Door Handles

Very poor after sales service

Order took longer than expected to arrive, one door latch faulty (£3:99) amongst large order, after sales terrible, sent photos as proof they would not replace such a cheap item, in the end purchases from screwfix. Would NOT recommend using company.

Hello Beverley Gilbert, We are sorry you feel this way, however as stated in our email the latch was not faulty and was not replaced on the basis of cost involved of doing so. The product itself was a high quality product which had been fitted upside down and forced open upon fitting causing the latch assembly to break out of the housing body. It takes a great deal of pressure to do this. We are happy to replace any product which is faulty or fails within the warranty period regardless of the cost involved.

Shocking attitude from its Directors

Shocking “take your business elsewhere” response when I have already part ordered items.

I was a trade customer and have spent over £1000. I’m shocked to have had an email from a director Lindsay Gumersell, asking me to take my business elsewhere. Why, because I asked for technical support before placing an order. Simply Door Handles have closed its phone and sales team because of CV and ask you to place your order online only (yet other similar companies staff work from home) and telephone support is available.

Judging from other negative reviews it’s clear to see the issue lies with the “I don’t care attitude from its directors”.

I WILL now pursue and get a refund of my part order. Directors with such an attitude to customer service do not deserve business from anyone expecting a basic level of technical customer service.

You have to expect a basic level of sales and technical support when purchasing such items. God help you if you make a mistake when ordering as there is no sales or technical support.

Never in the 13 years trading have we ever experienced anyone like you, sending threatening emails is the only reason why we suggested you purchase products elsewhere,. No company should have to tolerate this from Mr Ravi Panther.

Website advertises items as 'In Stock'…

Website advertises items as 'In Stock' 2 days later I receive an email to say they only have 6/7 items in stock. I reply for this to be dispatched - no response. Further chasing of this I then get told that now only 3 in stock until 27/01. Why are you advertising items as 'In stock' when this is not the case?
When confronted via email. no response.
5 days later, no items from order has been dispatched or delivered.
BRILLIANT CUSTOMER SERVICE!

You were contacted explaining that we only had 6 of the 7 door knobs available and that they were due back into stock the following week and would you be willing to wait. You contacted us yesterday chasing your order and stating that you had sent an email requesting the stock we had available. Unfortunately we did not receive this email. As we are unable to provide the stock we have cancelled and refunded you in full. All your emails received have been responded to. We do hope you mange to find the stock required.

First class service, price and delivery speed

Having bought some handles for my kitchen cupboards 12 months ago, I needed to add a couple more but I also needed some additional screws having lost some from the first order. I emailed the team and within a couple of days my new handles and a bag of extra screws turned up. Price, communication, and delivery have been first class and I will be back.

Dear Nicola,
Please be advised we do not take money from your account, you authorise payments. You emailed on the 15th enquiring when the refund would be processed. We replied to your email explaining that refunds are processed within 14 working days, this has been processed within this timeframe.

Order No 59298

I ordered a number of items from Simply Door Handles which arrived later than expected so I no longer required them, I contacted them straight away to arrange a return.
I returned the goods via Royal Mail special delivery which required a signature at the other end as I had a gut feeling things were going to be complicated with this company and I wasn't wrong.
Parcel returned and signed for on the 21/10/20 and I am still waiting for a refund, contacted them on the 28/10/20 for an update on my refund and got a reply on the 29/10/20 from a Marcus "We are behind on returns and refunds at the moment but are trying extremely hard to keep within the 14 working days’ time frame allocated for this procedure. Please bear with us just a little while longer and we will have your refund done for you", which I totally get with the current climate.
I today 4/11/20 received a further email from Marcus "Do you have a delivery/tracking number I can have to see when the item was delivered back to us as we cannot locate your returned package. If I know the date it arrived then it will give me a better chance of finding it", which is somewhat strange as I thought my refund was being processed. Thankfully I paid a little extra for the signature at the other end and have been able to provide both signature & name of the staff member at Simply Door Handles, needles to say I've had no reply.

Great value and great service

I bought a number of handles from simply door handles recently and found the whole experience to be excellent. The prices of the handles were better than I could find anywhere else, and the website was easy to use.

The handles themselves arrived very quickly, and were all individually packaged.

I would definitely recommend buying your handles from this company.

Great value with great service

Avoid!

We ordered some items on 30/09/20 and received an email stating 2/3 working days delivery plus a few more for COVID. It’s now 22/10 yet we have heard nothing despite leaving phone messages and emails. I have only given one star rating because I had no option to leave zero stars.
Shocking service!

Dear Mr May,
May we suggest that you check your emails spam/junk as we notified you via email that two of the products was currently out of stock. We offered you the opportunity to wait for the goods or we would refund you in full. We would appreciate if you would respond to our email.

Terrible customer service. Avoid this company

Terrible customer service. I’ve been trying to get a refund from this company for a faulty handle they sent me which I ordered beginning of August to no avail. Their customer service is diabolical. You can’t speak to anyone on the phone and when you email it takes weeks for them to answer. Their reply then revolves around asking some basic question on how the handle was fitted with no indication of how to get a replacement or refund. The last communication I got from them was from a guy called Marcus on the 9th sept and I’ve heard nothing since. So 2 months later I’m still left with a door I can’t use properly because of the faulty handle they have sold me.

Well I’ve decided I’m not going to waste anymore of my time chasing and get a refund via my bank. Do not waste your time or money purchasing from them!

Dear Sharon, As per our various emails and conversation with the manufacturer and you, the only reason the one pair of ceramic door knobs which you purchased broke was due to them being fitted incorrectly. This specific door knob you purchased is locked on to the door using the chamfered spindle which is supplied with the product, the locking screw locates onto the chamfered section of the spindle and holds the knob secure. The person who fitted this product omitted to use this crucial component. Simply Door Handles has been trading online since 2007 and we take the quality of the products we retail as a prime consideration before offering these for sale. We have sold several hundred of these knobs with only one complaint, this one... For someone who purchased one product and fitted it incorrectly you have done a sterling job of hounding everyone possible.
