Buyer beware....

I start by saying Im not leaving a 2 star because Ive nothing better to do, Im leaving it because my experience with Welsh slate house signs was in fact a 2 star.
I ordered a sign as a gift. After 12 days the sign hadn't arrived, so rang the number a couple of times, no answer, emailed no reply, I emailed again, I got a short message back saying it will be posted out next week, I asked was there a delay as the delivery said 7-10 days and when next week? I got no reply. At this point alarm bells rang, so I asked for a refund. reply said refunded, I was so relieved! On checking account days later no pending refund there, I rang the bank to check, they said it would defiantly be pending if it had been refunded. 5 days later still NO refund. I definitely would NOT recommend this company. I can't comment on the sign just their terrible service.

Update!! I have my refund, so apologies for the misunderstanding regarding the refunding process, a one worded email saying refunded doesn't always give you a feeling of trust. However the review regarding customers service remains, calling your customer a liar isn't very good business practise and just proves my point regarding your customer service.

Absolute lies.
Anyone who reads this and would like to be reassured please send us an email and we will provide you with screenshots to prove the nightmare we have experienced with this customer but of course still issued a full refund when requested and will also show proof of this.
Name of customer not even Jake.
Trustpilot please contact us for proof so we can get rid of this silly review.
Many thanks

Response to negative review

Hi, as with someone who feels compelled to leave another 1 star review, I am compelled to leave another 5 star review. Anyone looking at these 1 star reviews look at their previous reviews the most recent one also complains about a gate not being closed. I know some people have nothing else to do maybe but if you want to moan at least don’t be petty and try without succeeding to damage someone on purpose.

Our experience was stressful as the time taken was longer than expected . We were concerned that they would not send our product.
But they answered our emails promptly and when our slate sign did arrive , it was Beautiful .
we could've insulated our loft with the packing materials !! ...Thank you Shaun

Sadly I returned the house sign as it…

Sadly I returned the house sign as it didn’t match the sign I had ordered. When ordering you are asked to fill in the details of requirements so that you can see how it looks. What is the point of this if they then produce something different? The result of the sign I received was very disappointing. I returned it special delivery and asked for a refund as it wasn’t my fault. Unfortunately that didn’t materialise. So I’m out of pocket for their mistake. No apologies or any comment whatsoever. I had to send several emails before any response. They clearly didn’t see it as their problem. Very bad customer service.
No matter how good the work was if it wasn’t as I ordered then it isn’t acceptable. I informed you on 28th September with no response and finally after a number of emails, I finally received a refund 11th October. The quality was good but not what I ordered!

Very misleading review. The sign you received looked great and you also stated you were happy with the quality in a previous email. Then when returned because the capital letters of each words were slightly smaller than you wanted we issued a full refund straight away. All this can be backed with proof and photos.
Many thanks

Excellent Quality

Ordered my sign in August and it arrived in three weeks. Excellent quality. Really delighted with it. Looks great against the white walls of our cottage.

Great Product

On initial on line research I found Welsh Slate Signs offered a greater selection of size of plaque, a good choice of finishes and fonts. I ordered on 4 July and it was delivered on 5th August.
Regarding the emails, my new email App was dropping the replies into the junk, but others into the inbox, once I had realised this I found all of the emails I had received.
On receipt, the sign was well packaged and the sign itself was of good quality and the letters were well engraved into the slate. Overall I am well pleased with the House Sign.
Regarding the packaging, We took it to our local Charity shop who welcomed it as they could use it.

Avoid - Scammers

Ordered on the 15th of June, should have arrived in 7 days. It's now been almost a month since my order and I still have not received it. Customer service is terrible - they don't answer the phone or emails. The only reply I've had is by filling in the online form, and then I was told 'it will be with you soon' and the rest of my messages have been ignored. Had to get a refund through PayPal.

My experience is the exact opposite of the negative reviews. Unfortunately my first sign was damaged despite the amazing packaging. Emailed company who supplied another one arrived today. All intact. Well done welsh slate. Fantastic customer service.

Avoid

I ordered a sign on 26th May but having not received any communication advising when it would be delivered. I telephoned but the phone just keeps ringing never an answer. I sent an email no response so I emailed them to advise I wanted to cancel the order again no response either on the phone or email. So I asked PayPal to refund me. Then I got a response from the business but only after PayPal dispute intervention. I received a refund from PayPal but no thanks to the business. I would avoid this business and go elsewhere no customer service whatsoever

Avoid!!

I ordered 2 signs on the 22/05/23 as the website promised delivery in 5 working days. When I had not received them, I emailed on the 31/05/23 asking when they would be delivered as it was urgently needed.
On the 1/06/23 I was told they would be delivered the following week, which they were not. On 06/06/23 I emailed again asking where they were and was told that they will be dispatched the following day with tracking. It is now the 09/06/23 and they still have not been dispatched. In this time my driveway walls were built and the builders will have to return at some point to fix these signs. Had a known these would take so long and not be delivered I would have shopped elsewhere.

Worth waiting for!

After much searching for the right slate house sign I came across Welshslatehousesigns who had a very informative website & answered all my questions regarding size, design etc. I could have saved hours of ploughing through so many other websites only to find they couldn't provide what I wanted.
Not a problem here!
Before engraving I was sent a 'proof' to ensure all was correct. The Parcels 2 Go delivery came exactly when the tracking said it would. We are absolutely delighted with our purchase & it is now the envy of our neighbours!
Thank you!

Glue/fixing kit please!

My slate is great thank you but I need glue and fixings. I have phoned Welsh Slate House Designs to ask for a glue/fixing kit countless times and no one ever answers the phone. I have sent numerous e mails to them too and have not had the courtesy of any response. All I am asking for is a glue kit for my slate please!

Thanks for the negative review.
Can I just add for any readers that we did send the fixing kit but you lost it and we have emails to prove. So to confirm the slate is great and we send fixing kits with.
Many thanks

Far too much plastic packaging

Company took my money 3 weeks before sign was dispatched, after I had emailed them to find out where it was. Sign duly arrived and it’s very good I’m pleased with it. Fixing quite easy. However the amount of plastic packaging is disgraceful, my sign was wrapped in 14 meters of non recyclable plastic, when it could have come in a cardboard box with paper or card protection. This must stop.
Added after reply: I did not see anything about being encouraged to return the packaging, which I have done. If it was clear how to return it I wouldn’t have complained about the quantity.

Wow

I can not believe what I’m reading.

Trustpilot is supposed to be here to reassure customers that the product is good and company can be trusted.

With most businesses struggling today, especially small ones like ours you are willing to give us a bad score and lower our total score due to our signs being too well packaged! Shame on you. I hope everyone who sees this agrees this is a positive post for us.

Please send back your packaging and we will for sure reuse it. We have tried and tested every other way of packaging and this is what’s needed to get your order to you through the courier system without damage, at a huge cost to us.

We here at slate house signs are all flabbergasted and encourage all customers to please return your packaging so we can reuse it.

Update: So you have now repackaged our packaging and have returned to us for reuse? Great news! I hope the delivery vehicle is electric or I'm sorry to say you are just making the problem worse.
This is why Aliens fly straight passed our planet

Appalling post-sales customer service

Slate signs arrived ok and are nice quality. Unfortunately, they arrived with no fixings or glue and multiple emails to them have gone unanswered and, weeks later, no fixings have ever been sent, despite their website saying that all orders include them. Have had to go out and buy my own - will be sending them the invoice but I'm not holding my breath to be reimbursed. So this company are fine unless something goes wrong - after that, you can forget about being able to get hold of them or getting the issue resolved.
