Not very organised

The first order I made I called up to check it was in stock and was told it was. Placed the order to be told it was not in stock. Went on for weeks until I canceled the order.

Next order I made it said 3/4 days delivery time on line. As soon as I made the order I got a call to say it will take 1/2 weeks. I waited the full 14 days before calling again. I was told it "had just arrived today" in the shop and they will send it out. I received it 3 days later.

I wonder if it had been in for a long time and my order was lost.

Please accept my sincere and unreserved apology for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We appreciate that this must have been very frustrating for you and we have made every effort keep you informed of the issues as they happen. The order had not been lost and was a special order item and this was the reason for the delay. We hope this does not put the customer off ordering from us again.

Some knowledgable staff some not so, overall a good result

I've just ordered & received two tow bar kits from Towequipe, one for a Subaru Outback one for a Land Rover Discovery 3. Both were reasonably priced and for the Outback I was advised of additional items that I would need (bypass relay). However with the Discovery the first call to Towequipe to price up the kit for the customer resulted in wrong information being given. It was priced up with a generic wiring kit for the vehicle, when I called back luckily I must have got hold of a senior sales person as they advised me that the Discovery needed a vehicle specific wiring loom (problem as I had already quoted my customer). But the sales person did find an alternative tow bar kit which was cheeper but still a quality bar (Witter) which did save some face with the customer. I then did have an issue getting a copy of an invoice from a foreign sounding member of staff who either did not understand what I wanted or didn't know what they were doing as they kept sending emails with an invoice number but no invoice attached (and it was a foreign sounding sales person that initially priced up the Discovery). This was resolved in the end.

Quality item. Quality price.

My Tow Bar from Towequipe is of a very good Quality, and very easy to fit, with good instructions. Would recomend Towequipe to friends and family.
The Courier Service was Very Bad, infact they lost my item, I had No contact from them and had to contact Towequipe, They responded very Quickly and I received my item two days later.

Absolutely superb!

I ordered a motorcycle cover from these guys. When it turned up, it didn't fit. Which was a bit disheartening due to the cost. However, after getting in touch about it, they spoke to their tech team about the issue. After I returned the item, they sent me one that would fit and now I'm a happy chappy again. There was quite a few emails back and forth and they always kept me up to date with what was going on in the whole process. The customer service I received really was first class, second to none. Absolutely no issues and would be confident to order from them again.

Crème de la crème customer service.

I initially used Towequipe for the purchase of a Witter removable towbar/towball and a separate Westfalia vehicle-specific wiring kit. Their service was second to none. There had been a minor discrepancy in the postage charge, which was sorted out extremely swiftly. Due to the quality of their service, I then purchased a Thule Easyfold cycle carrier. Because of my prior purchases, I received a discount on the cycle carrier which made it considerably cheaper than ALL other providers of that product. When I had some minor problems with one of the products, their technical assistance enabled me to rectify it almost instantly. Other queries were dealt with in a swift manner. In these days of anticipated mediocre service, I was extremely impressed with Towequipe. Theirs is the epitome of good customer service and the application of human intelligence. If only all other companies had the same ethos. I cannot recommend Towequipe highly enough to do them justice. They are simply marvellous!

Please accept my sincere and unreserved apology for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We only have one record of a purchase made from you and must take issue with the delays from the carrier as it was unacceptably slow. The manufacturer was also delayed in dispatching the replacement which was also and issue that we must apologise for. We rely on 3rd parties to delver as contractually obliged.
We presently have no communication issues between colleagues; however will look out for future problems. We are reviewing the listing of this item on all selling platforms and hope to hear from the customer again.

Excellent service with fast delivery.

I ordered my Thule 591 in the afternoon and it was delivered free at lunchtime the following day. At every stage I was kept advised and the tracking link and information was accurate. delivery by the courier was spot on and courteous.
Well done towequipe. I will be back!
