They are selling poor quality copies

They are selling poor quality copies, not genuine parts.

We sell both genuine and compatible parts.

The part you ordered must be genuine as there are no compatible versions of that item at all, anywhere.

paid extra for 1-2 days delivery - 6 days later no order

Poor service. I ordered a fridge part, it offered 3 delivery options - I opted to pay extra for 1-2 days first class as my fridge door wouldn't shut without the replacement hinge. After 4 days I requested the additional postage I paid to be refunded. In response UK Whitegoods cancelled my order. Then I had the pleasure of a sarcastic Scotsman telling me product lead times overrule delivery times quoted. "THEN DON'T QUOTE DELIVERY TIMES!" Interactions like these actually slow the turning of the world. Save yourself getting even slightly annoyed....if you can find it elsewhere, do so. Even if it's a quid more.

I just started reading other people's reviews! Oh dear Kenneth. Time for some self reflection. You do seem to rub people up the wrong way with your sarcastic manner. I wonder how you are going to explain to me what I did wrong, and how you are completely blameless. Save your fingers keyboard Ken.

*legend. the response was as expected. It's not racist to call someone with a Scottish accent Scottish, its just a fact. You're getting ahead of yourself. As you said yourself to Catherine "We tell people stuff straight up with no politically correct rubbish".

Despite the racist comment, as you do not need to be any nationailty in particular to be sarcastic, we could not meet ytour delivery expectations due to the time that the part was ordered at therefoere cancelling the order was the best option for you as, had we refunded the carriage as you requested the part would have been delivered well outside your timescale as asked for.

Therefore the order was refunded in full for you.

Also, as a side note, please do not call up and swear at staff as this is abusive and will not be toerlated, this is why the call was terminated.

Not recommended

Sent me the wrong item, then refused to admit that it was the wrong item, despite being completely incompatible with my appliance. Refused to replace the item. Refused a refund due to installation attempts, which were necessary to determine compatibility, despite no damage done to item. Their customer service is non-existent. The gentleman on the phone is utterly useless, and doesn't even seem to realise that he works for this company. The gentleman dealing with e-mails, Kenneth Watt, who turns out to be the director, as well as the "tech support" is extremely rude, unprofessional, dismissive and defensive. I was forced to use Paypal Resolution Centre, Citizens Advice and Trading Standards. Please do not send your hard-earned money to this company.

It might perhaps help if you had the patience to await the information to fit the part. Despite a wiring diagram and the offer of checking with the factory etc for you and an explanation that the *MANUFACTURER* has changed that part. But, you were apparently not prepared to wait.

Then not being insulting to people might also help, perhaps you ought to brush up on your people skills before you denigrate others for treating you as they treated you.

During that exchange, we more or less decided that you likely hadn't the necessary skills to replace the part that involves wiring and safety so, in order to protect you we have decided not to help and that you should seek a professional repairer so you do not cause yourself harm.

Frankly, we do not want rude and impatient people like yourself as a customer so, sorry but if you do not want help then please use another supplier.

don’t use them

The part broke in less than a month and they would take it back or give a refund. The part was fitted fine and was only carefully used. It was obviously of poor quality. If I bought clothes that got a whole in after a month I would expect if to be replaced and this is the same. This wasn’t some £5 product... it was rediculously expensive and at the moment I am out of pocket and you expect me to spend more sending it back to you with no garuntee that you will actually do anything.
For anyone thinking of using this company - don’t!

We did offer to send it back to inspect but, for you to expect to be sent a free one just because you say so is a totally unreasonable request.

All the more so when it's easy enough to damage the plastic thread when fitting, which is what we fully expect has happened therefore it is a fitting problem, not a part problem. It was probably ripped by you on fitting and it's a bit unfair to expect us to pick up the cost of your error.

Bad after sales service

Bad after sales service. Would not take the item back as it would not fit in the fridge.

We can find no record of you being a customer of ours so I am sorry but it would appear that your review, such as it is, would be invalid.

Amazing service!!

Amazing service. Kenneth was incredibly helpful and answered all my queries within minutes. The product was delivered fast and securely, and was a much better price than other retailers I had seen. I would 100% use them again and will definitely be referring my friends and family to them.

Very good service

I made a mistake when ordering i.e. an incorrect shipping address.
Contacted the service department which promptly made the correction.
The delivery took a short time and to the right place. Very good service.

Hi Catherine,

Sorry, we do not understand at all.

You asked for return instructions, they were sent. The item returned, inspected and refunded. The subsequent enquiry on that answered.

There is no sarcasm we can see anywhere in that anywhere.

----------------

Well, Catherine if being truthful, honest and telling you how it is can be considered sarcastic then so be it. We provide an advice and provide for parts, which is what we did.

Sorry you do not appreciate that but it's what we do and you are talking to technical people, not salespeople trying to sell you goods.

We tell people stuff straight up with no politically correct rubbish but if that is what you wish for then it is perhaps best that you do not use our services as you will not get that from this company. It is a service we do not nor ever have any intention to provide.

----------------

No problem Catherine, we wish you well in finding a retailer​ that suits your requirements.

I ordered wrong part

I ordered wrong part, sent it back no problem , awaiting refund also no problem, emailed the team to help get the right part, was asked for some number aside from serial number that wasn't on the I.D plate thing, got the impression that the man returning the email decided I was a useless waste of a skin, went on Amazon found correct part with no fuss at all????
All that being said I would use UK whitegoods again
