A joke of a 'delivery' company

We have the easiest to access property, ground floor, 20 steps to the bedroom to deliver and assemble the bed. Giving the attitude and threating to take the bed back if we do not remove a non-slippery carpet protection for them to walk over! We have works going on in the property and no builder carrying much heavier stuff had any issues! In fact, quite the opposite.
Had to remove it for these snowflakes meaning now have to buy and lay a new protection.
Extremely rude and arrogant, even telling my husband to leave the room when he came in to check the work half through as they 'are not done yet'...
Not the retailer fault (West Elm) but surely they can find some other company with the better integrity and attitude. Not a rocket science is it..?

Dear Elena
Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Our delivery teams would be looking to secure an obstacle-free pathway through your home to your room of choice to avoid risk of injury or damage. I am sorry that this caused inconvenience to you. I hope you are delighted with your West Elm bed.
Kind regards, Harvey

Fantastic…

Regular correct updates and goods were delivered as promised with the time frame. The driver was in contact prior to delivery as I requested advance notice. All exceptional service. Faultless thank you - it is rare these days to receive such a quality service.

Top team

Top team! The two lads who delivered my bed were super friendly, professional and just awesome. The had quite a job on their hands as I live 4 floors up and there is no lift but they handled it like a pro and were very polite. The communication was great and they called 10 minutes before they arrived giving me some time to make sure the doorway was free.

Delivery expected today between...

Delivery expected today between 13.30-15.30. Took the day off work to be home. No communication at all from the company. Called at 17.00 to find out if delivery was coming, and they said yes, just running behind. Get a call back at 6 to say it's not coming due to road closures (none anywhere near where I live). Said they will redeliver at some point in the future but had no idea when. Terrible customer service, would expect at least some form of communication to say they were having issues but nothing at all from them until I called to chase.

Dear SIlas
I'm very sorry that our delivery team fell short of our standards yesterday in not keeping you updated with their progress. I've passed this to the local depot manager to address with them. I've asked our Customer Support Centre to get in touch to arrange a new delivery date.
Kind regards, Harvey

Good communication early on, but delivery day lacked Updates

The communication before delivery was good. I received an email with the date and time, as well as a text reminder beforehand. However, on the day of delivery I was notified by text that, due to unforeseen circumstances, the delivery would be later than expected. I contacted the WhatsApp support number to ask for an updated time, but they weren’t able to provide an estimate. This left us unsure of when the delivery would arrive, and we didn’t want to leave the house in case we missed the promised 30-minute call before arrival.
In the end, we did receive the call, and the delivery team were friendly, apologetic about the delay, and brought the item straight into the living room.
Overall, the delivery was completed successfully, but the lack of clear updates on the day made the experience more stressful than it needed to be.

Dear Amanda
Thank you for your feedback and providing order details. I can see that operational reasons meant our delivery team was delayed departing our depot. They should have called in the morning to provide an updated ETA to avoid you having to wait in. I understand that the lack of information would have been frustrating. I will feedback to the depot manager. I'm pleased to hear the delivery itself was satisfactory.
Kind regards, Harvey

Grumpy Comments

Unfortunately the delivery guy made grumpy comments about waiting for me to answer the door. I heard these via the ring doorbell and was disappointed that this was the case. I answered the door as soon as I heard the doorbell but am moving slower because I’m 9months pregnant and it was 7am. Disappointing.

Dear Ms Jenkins
I appreciate you taking the time to feedback. That's certainly not the behaviour we train to our delivery teams, and I'm sorry for the poor experience. I will be passing this to the local depot manager to address with the team.
Kind regards, Harvey

Brilliant sofa delivery from Mark and Ian

We had a Loaf sofa delivered today by Mark and Ian. When they arrived they gave us a call to come and look at the sofa before they started bringing it in because there was a mark on it. It was minimal and I wouldn’t have noticed but was really impressed with their professionalism in making sure we were happy.
We live in a 4th floor flat and I had been pretty certain the sofa would fit in the lift but… it didn’t. Mark and Ian carried the sofa up four flights on stairs with no complaint and still cracking jokes when they got to the flat. They quickly unpacked, assembled and tidied up after themselves.
They were brilliant and a credit to the company, thank you guys!!
