NO CUSTOMER CARE - BBW Flatpack not Assembled

I am so frustrated with this company!! I placed an order on for a 5 day delivery - and tried for 3 days to make arrangements for delivery to ensure someone was in to receive the chest of drawers. I left voicemails and an email...then bizarrely on day 4 evening I receive tracking info from courier which was not updated with exact delivery day until day 5 early morning letting me know that the delivery was that day (3 hour pm slot) so I arranged for someone to take delivery - at this point I was over the moon that the large chest of drawers (great price and seemingly solid construction) had arrived the day before my daughter got home from a week away to see her newly decorated bedroom....Now this is where I got mad! I had previously emptied all her old drawers and lugged the old drawers out of her room ready to slip the new unit straight in and refill - TADA !! and what do I get a blooming FLAT PACK!!!!! No where on the product description for this unit does it ever mention self assembly I am absolutely LIVID and UPSET with this company - I now have to spend an evening putting this together before the morning which is difficult for me to do !!! This poor misleading advertising and no existent customer care is not acceptable!!

Don't waste your time with this company

Took a week off to complete my son's bedroom, only for the bed to turn up on the 4th day PM of ordering, by then they were closed, so me taking a week of was a complete waste of my time and the effort of clearing the room out.

First off received 2 of the same boxes, which got corrected the following week, at the same time reported parts missing from another box and am still waiting for the missing parts and been over week now. The packaging of the boxes were shocking, very surprised the wood pieces were all intact.

Customer service is appalling, they don't respond to emails, so you have to chase them up, they have a 0845 number so will cost you a fair bit to call them as well.

If you have plenty of time on your hands then up to you to order from them but beware..

Avoid! Not very customer focused company. Avoid if you don't want to be let down.

Ordered an item on a next day delivery as it was required for a holiday trip. Waited two days and nothing. Sent an email only to be told out of stock. Now in a panic to find a replacement item before our trip. Save yourself any hassle and use another company.

Sorry, we let you down on this sun hat. There had been a run on these products and the supplier had sold out before our stock records were updated, and ultimately they could not find a sun hat to send to you. We apologise for them running out, and understand you have already been refunded.

Appalling service

I placed an order for a kids easel 2 weeks ago with a delivery date of 5 working days. After the 5 working days passed I contacted them and they explained there was a delay in my delivery and I should have it in a few days but nothing and no further communication from them. I have been trying to contact them since last Friday just only got a response with the same reasons. I shouldn't have to keep chasing them for an update as a company they should be updating me. I regularly order online and have never had such awful customer service. I wish I had read these reviews prior to placing an order. I would not recommend them to anyone.

It's difficult to identify you from your user name, but we do know that some of these easels were indeed running later than expected. When they were ready to ship the deliveries were then made via a 2-day UPS courier service to speed up delivery, but we apologise for the delay.

Appalling service

I am disgusted with the service from The Kids Window. I have shopped from many companies nationally and internationally but have never received customer service as bad as this. I ordered my 3 year old sons bed expecting it to arrive in time for when my guests were coming over from South Africa. I received an email from the Kids Window on 10 June 2015 stating that my sons bed will arrive within 14 working days. Once this period had lapsed I called the Kids Window and a lady informed me that the bed will be delivered any day now. I also ordered a mattress from her. She assured me that this will not delay my delivery. As I was expecting the bed to arrive within couple of days as informed by the Kids Window representative I gave my sons cot to my friend. It has now been 30 days since I received an order confirmation and I still haven't received the bed. I have called the Kids Window twice and left voicemails however I have not received a response.

We are sorry there was a delay on these racing car beds. The manufacturer was using a new specialist delivery company that is expected to provide a superior delivery service. Unfortunately it seems there was a delay in the processing of the initial deliveries to a number of customers. Most disappointingly, it seems there was also a delay in actually contacting you to book in the delivery following prompts to do so, but we understand the manufacturer called you directly to explain. We hope you are enjoying the car bed.

wrong name corrected

i arranged to have a new baby plate shipped, unfortunately the name on the plate was wrong. I contacted them and they corrected it straight away, but still inconvenient. i now plan to order again two years later and hope this time they get the names correct the first time. if the name was correct the first time i would have given 5 stars

Price beaters!

We experienced a slight delay in delivery by a couple of 'working days' but this was chased promptly and sorted after I raised it with Customer Services. The shed is great and £80 cheaper than any other supplier that I could find for same product. Very happy!

Great bunk bed - very good service

The bunk is great quality, sturdy and looks great. It feels very solid. The shelves provide a great amount of storage for books and various bits. Putting the bed together was quite hard, there were two of us and it took us over ten hours!! Granted, we may not be gifted when it comes to assembling furniture, but if you can afford do consider to "buy" the building service.

The Kids Window were easy to deal with and ordering process was straightforward. I made a mistake during the ordering process and they amended the order without any problems. The delivery guy was very considerate too and took the various boxes all they way up the first floor even if he was on his own.

The wife's happy so I'm happy!

I was looking for a summerhouse for the corner of our garden and this one was cheapest of its type. I am usually thorough with research but I just ordered then checked reviews. I was horrified and thought I had made a big mistake. I could not get through on the phone but e-mails were answered. When the summerhouse arrived it was all there and on time. The build was supposed to be for two people but I managed to do it alone in about 6 hours and it look great

Girls Dressing Table

Bit nervous when I saw some of the reviews on here after ordering a dressing table for my little girl however I needn't have been.
Smooth transaction from start to finish from order to delivery.
Kept to promised timescales and when I had a question about delivery an email was answered pretty much straight away.
Credit where it's due.

Super fast service

I received my delivery very quickly.
I do think you need to think about the items being delivered as my shelves arrived and the box was in a very bad state, so I half expected the shelves to be damaged. Thankfully not this time.
I love my furniture and the service.

Very good!

The bed is excellent, the price is really low compared to others and we are really pleased with it. The only thing, I would prefer a king size but too late for now. Very good service from the kidswindow. Thanks!

Updated review

The Kids Window have been back in touch with me by email to apologise and credited an amount back to my card towards my issues and costs.

It seems they are trying to make amends to customers, if they are on their way to improve customer service and recognise issues they may eventually get this right from the start and be a trusted company. I would now consider ordering again.

We can see you ordered on the Monday evening, it was despatched on an overnight service on the Tuesday, and was out for delivery on the Wednesday. When delivery failure was reported later that day we re-confirmed the tracking link to you and provided a contact number to speak to the local depot. We do not doubt that you say you were in both times the carrier said they called, and appreciate that if that happened it would be very frustrating - but we can not explain what happened as the carriers are a separate company and say they tried to deliver. When we were made aware you had problems with the delivery we contacted the carrier ourselves and arranged another delivery (if lines are busy we take voicemails and respond, but apologise if you could not get through). We also apologise if parts were missing - the manufacturers will always send replacements parts if we are made aware and can report that to them, and any products or suppliers with persistent parts problems would be removed from sale. We thank you for the business and are sorry you feel unhappy with the service.

VERY poor customer service, happy with item once it arrived!

On ordering a dark wood dressing table I received an email stating my order would be delivered in 2 working days - excluding weekends and bank holidays. The email had a link to track my order.
On the day of delivery I emailed trying to find out a time of when to expect it to arrive, as the tracking link did not seem to work - No reply. Kept checking tracker - wasn't updated. Emailed again - No reply. 11pm I received an email 'order will arrive tomorrow'.
Order was delivered early morning, by a rude man who banged so hard on the door scared my little one half to death!!

The order was placed on the Saturday. Monday was a bank holiday so the order was processed on the Tuesday, and delivered on Thursday, 2 working days after the order. We send customers tracking links so they can track the progress of their order through the delivery network and see when it's out for delivery. In our communication over that weekend when you asked us to add an alternative delivery address we did suggest delivery would be on Wednesday (most are "next day"), but we always state "2 working days" as a precaution and email a tracking link so that customers can monitor the delivery. We can also see we telephoned you on the Thursday morning to check that it had arrived safely. We will notify the delivery depot of your comments. We are pleased you are happy with the item.
