Bought via Amazon Shun Multi Purpose Shears. The seller - "Big Kitchen" says made in Japan. Inside the blades, not visible when shears are closed-says China! Obviously they are chip counterfeited sh... See more

The order process was straight forward and the goods were delivered in good condition. Prices were very good. The reason for 4 star and not five is the delivery system needs improving since 36 hours... See more

I recently ordered two 12 piece dinner services from The Big Kitchen as they offered the best price online. The dinner services arrived within the advertised timeframe. The boxes were extremely well... See more

They have ceased trading

Last week I contacted Trading Standards in Sunderland because I was getting no replies from The Big Kitchen. They got back to me yesterday and informed me they had visited the company and there was a notice on the door saying they had ceased trading on the 29/10/2013.

Can't get any response from this company.

Ordered a Hob and Cooker on 22/10/13. Waited for email to confirm delivery, nothing after two days, further email sent, still no reply. Phones not being answered and no automated messages out of hours. Have contacted the Trusted shops organisation that the Big Kitchen company display on their website explaining my experience and also have got the credit card company investigating them. Conclusion has to be that they have folded. Credit card company now asking if they have gone into liquidation, does anybody know anything??

Diabolicle

Don't but from this company. Once you have received your goods they don't want to know when its damaged. My item was really damaged and when I did get through to them they said I couldn't have a exchange or a refund, but they offered me £20.00, just glad I paid by paypal, they were fantastic and I got a full refund

Rubbish, absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with any company

The cooker never worked properly from day one and we had the run around. Not happy at all. Engineer not turning up, rude staff, parts not arriving, problems not being fixed. Beign without a cooker for months. Problem was never fixed and getting a refund even though the cooker had been returned was next to impossible. Excuse after excuse and still no joy. AVOID like the plague if you know what's good for you. DON'T buy from them.

Highly delighted!

We recently purchased a dishwasher from The Big Kitchen Centre. We live in Cornwall but delivery was still free. We ordered online on a Thursday and it was delivered the following Wednesday. Everything was as it should be, we will definitely use this company again.

Crap the worst company ever in 12 years i have bought from

This Company is a big joke..First the customer service is the worst I have seen in 12 years they don't really answer the phone if you need to ask anything. I have bought 3 peaces of kitchen equipment from them Oven, hob and hood by Matrix. I wanted my equipment before my kitchen fitting date for my new flat I bought everything before my kitchen came and installation. Everything came month before kitchen installation. when Fitters opened the box with oven front glass door was in pices smashed and bended everywhere, took pictures of this straight away. Pices of smashed glass were everywhere and it made scratches on my wooden floor as well it was everywhere!!! when I called to inform about it I have been told no returns no new item no money back nothing.. I thought it must be a joke..When I was talking to their Customer service I wanted to speak to the owner and they laugh over the phone...No parts for this oven are available so basically I need to buy and pay for another oven. I send them 10pictures of that oven and still nothing they will not do anything. Where are customer rights where is customer service. Please don't buy anything from them the company is a joke selling to people broken smashed equipment, I work for the airline if I would be talking to my customers like that I would be out of the job straight away.Please be carefull and avoid this company.If anyone would need anymore info or pictures of this smashed oven please let me know, seb

Perhaps a new delivery solution is needed...?

I would certainly recommend The Big Kitchen Centre, indeed I have and my neighbours are both buying new appliances from them as they are both having kitchen remodelling carried out at the moment,
The website was easy to navigate and their range of stock is impressive with appliances and budgets to suit everyone.
My only gripe was the delivery method. CityLink were exactly efficient, I was assured that the delivery company would have my mobile number so they could call if there were any problems. Just to make doubly sure I even left a note on the front door - advertising the fact my house was empty - saying that I work 2 minutes away and will come post haste to give them access to deliver the appliance I ordered. I heard nothing all day and returned home to find a 'Sorry we've missed you' card on the mat. A second delivery was arranged with CityLink and this time I did receive a call and delivery was made with the minimum of fuss.

Competitive priced goods

The goods are competitive but very disappointed with customer contact with deliveries had to stay in all day waiting with no call to say would deliver within a specified hours think you need to take a leaf out of appliances on line their delivery is second to none!!!

Still have not received it.

Ordered more than 5 days before. Still have not received the washing machine. I tried calling them few times but nobody is picking up the phone. I am not upset that they did not deliver the washing machine in time I am really angry that they have not called us yet or email us about the status at all if there is any stock problem or any other problem.

Poor Service but price was the best

Item purchased was a cooker hood but was not given a delivery date immediately or updated on the progress of the order. After a week I chased the order and I was told there was a delay with the delivery. Another week later again I had to chase the order and was told the item was discontinued and no longer available. However I was offered a replacement at no extra cost. Delivery was quick but despite being told I would be called by the delivery company I did not. A good job my neighbour was around to take delivery for me.

Item not in stock and difficult to get a refund

I purchased a oven and hob pack, but after waiting a week for delivery. I finally got through to the customer services and they told me the hob was out of stock, but would be in soon. After two weeks and many un-answered phone calls I cancelled my order. It then took 26 days and a report to Paypal to get my money back.
Worst internet transaction I have ever made!

Not as bad as some people make out!

Ordered a new cooker, mainly on price and this company was the best and ordered it on a Wednesday and it was delivered the following Monday just as I was told it would be, nice and early so I had plenty of time to connect it. I cannot fault the firm at all, 5 stars from me so far!

Poor customer service

Next day delivery actually took 4 days, the reasons very bluntly and with no apologies told to me, cooker hood though was a good price and transaction went smoothly.
