Paul was very efficient and kept me informed regarding the supply of a part for a Da Vinci Fireplace. This is a rare item but Paul used his expertise to locate one for me and get it delivered in a timeframe that met my expectations.

Dear Mr Culton

We are truly sorry to hear about the delivery of your goods. We were only informed by Royal Mail yesterday evening about the issue and the goods being damaged, we immediately offered a replacement and a full refund for the delivery charge. We even sent another bottle of chemical out to you at our own expense as we didnt hear an immediate response.

We understand your frustration with the courier service. We do our best to ensure timely and safe delivery, but unfortunately, couriers can sometimes let us down. All tracking numbers are accurate as per the individual courier that we use at the time of shipment.

We want to assure you that we responded to all your requests for information as promptly as possible. We value your business and are committed to improving our services.

Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience caused. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with the excellent service you deserve.

Sincerely,
Ellis

Utterly Disgraceful Company

I purchased ceramic coals from this company for £152, only to discover they were faulty. My gas engineer confirmed these were replicas, not original coals and that’s why they didn’t fit the coal bed and were burning and sooting black all over. It was an awful experience.
I contacted the company with photos, and they asked me to return the coals at my expense. I did so, but the parcel showed as in 'transit' for a week. Concerned, I emailed the company multiple times to flag the issue with Royal Mail stating undelivered and still in transit, but they ignored every single message. This was their opportunity to wash their hands of the situation and ignore me altogether, which is exactly what they did.

Two weeks later, Royal Mail updated the status to 'out for delivery,' proving the parcel had been located. Again, I reached out, this time for the fifth time, asking for a response.

It was only when I escalated the matter through PayPal that they finally responded. But instead of taking accountability, they contradicted their own earlier statements. Initially, they agreed there was no issue with my fireplace since it had been serviced by a gas engineer. Suddenly, in their dispute response, they claimed the faulty coals were due to my fire "overheating." This blatant lie was nothing more than a desperate attempt to avoid refunding me.

This company is an absolute disgrace. Their customer service is non-existent, and their employees are downright shameless in their tactics. They’re happy to sell you faulty products and then refuse to take responsibility when you try to resolve the issue. Their entire approach reeks of dishonesty.

I have never experienced such appalling treatment as a consumer. They made me feel like a nobody and treated my complaint with complete contempt. If I hadn’t opened a PayPal dispute, they would have happily ignored me forever.

Their conduct is appalling and their behaviour outright wicked, and I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this company at all costs. Their unethical behaviour and nasty tactics make them one of the worst companies I’ve ever dealt with.

In reply to your response

Your response contains several inaccuracies and fails to address the core issues I raised.

Ignoring My Emails: The primary issue was your complete lack of communication after I informed you that the return parcel was delayed in transit. Despite sending multiple emails over several weeks, you chose to ignore every single one. This demonstrates a total disregard for your customers and their concerns.

Refund Through PayPal: You did not issue a refund voluntarily, as you claim. The refund was granted through a PayPal dispute, which I escalated after you failed to respond to me. PayPal ruled in my favour because the evidence clearly showed your refusal to take responsibility and evidence of the faulty coals.

Blaming Overheating: Your claim that the damage was caused by "overheating" is false and contradicts your earlier acknowledgment that there was no issue with my fireplace. This contradictory explanation appears to be a desperate attempt to shift blame and avoid accountability for the faulty product you sold me.

Consumable item Excuse: While ceramic coals may be consumable, this does not excuse selling faulty products that were not fit for purpose. My gas engineer confirmed the coals were replicas and incompatible, which is why they were burning black and sooting excessively.

While you mention aiming to provide satisfactory service, my experience has been the exact opposite. Ignoring a customer, failing to provide timely assistance, and only acting when forced to by PayPal are not hallmarks of a company that values its customers.

I stand by my original review and would caution others about dealing with a company that employs such dismissive and dishonest tactics

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction with your recent purchase and the difficulties you experienced with the return.

We would like to address some of the points you raised and dispute several of your claims:

Originality of Coals: We can assure you that the coals we sell are original and sourced directly from Valor, a reputable manufacturer. To our knowledge, replica ceramic coals are not commonly produced or sold.

Delivery Status: We understand your frustration with the delay in the return shipment. However, once a parcel is handed over to Royal Mail, the delivery status and any associated delays are outside of our control. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Coals and Guarantee: Similar to light bulbs, ceramic coals are consumable items with a variable lifespan. Factors such as frequency of use, fire intensity, and burner efficiency can all affect their durability. While we strive to provide high-quality products, we typically do not accept returns on coals for these reasons.

In your particular case, we made an exception and agreed to accept the return. However, upon inspection, it appears the damage to the coals is consistent with overheating, which unfortunately is not covered by any guarantee.

Despite disputing your claims regarding the coals and the reasons for their damage, we did ultimately issue you a full refund. We understand your disappointment, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. We value all our customers and aim to provide satisfactory service. In this instance, we believe we have acted fairly within the constraints of our return policy.

Avoid this Company - appalling service

Ordered item advertised on web site, paid for item, only to be told item not available out of stock - refund due.
6 weeks later and after numerous messages and telephone contact still no refund. Steer clear of this Company. If you are entitled to a refund ( for what ever reason ) you will not receive it. This Compnay has been reported to The Action Fraud Team, as they appear to be reluctant to progress a refund in a timely mannern, see other reviews relating to dealys in refunds.

BE CAREFUL IF YOU WANT NEXT DAY DELIVERY!

Last Saturday I ordered a coal fuelbed and coals for a Flavel gas fire, hoping for Tuesday delivery (i.e. next 'working' day), reason being that HeatXchange were way cheaper than BFM Europe and offered 24hr delivery, opposed to BFM's 2/3 days. Turned out that HeatXchange didn't have stock and simply passed the order over to BFM who delivered on Thursday but, to be fair, Will at HeatXchange did keep me informed (after much chasing) and also credited me partial refund on the carriage, which was appreciated. Also, they do answer the phone pretty quickly if you just hang on and ignore the messages!
The company is based in the West Midlands village of Pelsall, in a small mid-terrace shop with counter and, as in my case, must enjoy great discounts from their suppliers (good for them!). What I didn't like was their big push for 'next working day delivery if ordered by 4pm' from their advertised stock of 20,000 parts ?? which becomes 50,000 parts ?? on their Trustpilot replies! Obviously the 'subject to stock' trumpet will now be blown, but I do advise potential customers to make certain they have what you want before pressing the 'pay now' button!
Compared to others on Trustpilot, I think I got away lightly?

HI John, many thanks for your recent review. We are constantly adjusting our stock manually and there are a few that will slip the net - but I appreciate your honest words. We will always try to ship from the manufacturers directly where possible. I am happy to see Will has kept you informed and will inform him of your review. Kindest regards, Ellis

Total lack of professionalism

I am presently still dealing with this company. I.mustbl say their customer service is appalling. It seems like they have not got a clue about running a store or a customer supplying company. Absolute amateur hour.... it really is like someone selling stuff at a jumble sale that hasn't got a clue what to do.

Spare parts for Butane Gas Boiler

From my initial enquiry to ordering and delivery the service was outstanding. I needed some parts for a bottle gas boiler which had a relatively low cost.
On my enquiry Heatxchange check the parts were available from Vaillant, but only from Germany, on ordering they kept me informed of order progress and delivered them the next day once they had received them. Excellent service

I Ordered the Item 3rd of May it's now the 18th and two Emails later and they replied it would be with me in a week still nothing. Can't get to talk to anyone. If the item is not in stock you would think they would contact you right away and say, instead they hold your money and give you no choice. I would not use this company again they need to think about their customers

HI Gloria, I was saddedned to hear of this situation, looking into this I can see there has been an unexpected delay in receiving this item from Ariston in France - they have advised there are a few manufacturing issues for this fascia. I would like to say that we are easily contactable via many outlets - phone, whatsapp and email and we return every query within 5-10 minutes unless we are awaiting an answer from Manufacturer. Which sometimes can take up to an hour to receive correspondence from them.
We are not in the business to hold money, if you would like a refund it wouldnt be a problem in doing so, please could you email me privately to sales@theheatxchange.co.uk. Kindest regards, Ellis
