Rated 4 out of 5 stars

My original order was not delivered. Turned out the courier was at fault. Subtel contacted me and offered to send me another one. They did. So top marks to subtel. Impressive customer service.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Item was delivered on time and in good condition. The glass is a little loose in the frame so it can rattle a bit, I am not sure if this will be a problem?

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The item was delivered promptly and I was kept informed of its progress throughout. The package was well-sealed, the item exactly as described in the advertisement. I was impressed!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Quick service and delivery. Notified throughout from the initial order, to dispatch to delivery. The product is everything I wanted. Thank you!

Long delivery time from Germany

I ordered from subtel as I needed the battery urgently and they offered a delivery of 2-3 business days. They were not the cheapest by any margin but the delivery time was the best.

It's now been 10 days and it has not arrived. The tracking information I had to request shows no record with DHL. Subtel say it is stuck with customs but I do not see how they can tell this as there is no record of it online.

The website gave the distinct impression that the item and business are in the UK. They are in Germany.

This has proven to be a costly mistake. I will update on the outcome.

Edit: battery did arrive but took over 2 weeks. Refund was offered also. Have upgraded to 3 stars. Subtel were responsive and helpful but the delivery time was poor. If this is an issue the advertised delivery time should be changed/caveated or perhaps use a different courier.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.
Problems in the transport can happen. We are sorry for this.

It is stated approximately 9 times on our website that we are a german company, including on the welcome page.
As the parcel seemed lost we refunded.

However DHL finally delivered your parcel on the 7th of November.

The only fault was the delivery.

All went well. I have not tried the battery, as it is a spare, but it is clearly the appropriate one. My only quibble is with your choice of deliverers: I waited in on the day they said it would come, and it did not. They then told me it would arrive during a time slot on a subsequent day. It did not, but it did arrive late that evening with no attempt to contact me and was left in a drizzle. By great good fortune I checked outside my door, and found it.

They are selling items that are fake absolute rubbish They are selling items at nearly £40…

They are selling items at nearly £40 that are fake. They don’t even say stay too big so what else are they selling what are fake? I couldn’t be bothered to send it back for the 40 quid because you’ll probably find out it’s a false address absolute fake robbers

Hello,

We are sorry to read this.
We have been on the market for 20 years and most of our reviews all across Europe are good.
So it seems the majority does not share that opinion.
But thank you for speaking your mind and we are sorry you were not satisfied.

Terrible customer service

Your company was stupid enough to use DHL they have had my purchase for four days but are so useless that they are unable to find my address

I will never use them or your company ever again and will tell everyone I know how bad you are
Have contacted you twice and cannot get anyone with a granule of sense to help me

Hello,

We are sorry to read this.
If there are issues with the delivery service, getting angry at the sender isn't necessarily very logical.
You contacted us and we forwarded promptly the case to DHL who delivered yesterday. We definitely helped.
So ''cannot get anyone to help me'' is false.

We understand that this type of situation is emotional, but we encourage you to remain factual and honest in your comments.

We again are sorry for the late delivery. We forwarded everything to DHL and hope this does not happen again.

Subtel Impressive, DHL awful.

The product & the professional packaging were impressive. However, the delivery service, DHL, was appalling. I was waiting by the front door & a passing dog walker witnessed the delivery man throwing the package over the side gate at the back of my cottage. ( I didn't see this myself.) As I went to the front gate, he was driving away. That's why your professional care was so important. I've put in another order on the strength of your care & product, but would prefer you use another carrier. I don't believe in rewarding a poor service. Thank you & well done!

Very quickly delivered

Very quickly delivered. Unfortunately the battery was faulty and had to receive a refund.
The problem was remedied very well indeed. Very impressed with the service. I would use them again for any further purchases.
Thanks Keith

Not charging.

I fitted the battery as per youtube, but the battery would not charge. I updated using the TomTom website, but still nothing. Showing grinding gears and connect to PC image. Not charging.
