“4 hour delivery timeslot -- Ha ha ha!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by tbirduk on 22/09/2014

Very disappointed, despite ordering 6 days before requested delivery, time slot was sent at 7am as being 12:00-16:00, this time slot drifted later all afternoon on the Web site without explanation, I eventually received a Phone call at 18:10 to say item would be delivered in next 2 hours, and it eventually arrived at 19:30. Installation aborted due to power lead.

Customers should be advised which side of the machine the 1.5 metre should be measured from, in my case the power lead was too short because the cord is on the far left side of the machine.

When water was turned on after fitter left my kitchen cupboard was flooded due to (unnecessary) blanking plug being fitted cross threaded.

I will NOT be a repeat customer

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to get in touch with us and for your feedback. We love to hear back from our customers to see how they found everything.

I'm sorry to read that the delivery of your appliance arrived outside of the estimated time slot supplied to you. Sometimes factors out of our control can occur such as traffic or being held on previous. This can in turn have a domino effect and cause a delay in the delivery of your appliance. I can appreciate how disappointing this must be.

We supply lots of images on our website including the rear of the appliance so you can get a good idea of how the appliance will look and how it will connect to your supply points. I shall pass your comments on to our Website Team as we're always looking at ways to improve our customer’s journey and make things as easy as possible.

I'm very sorry to read that when testing the appliance after connecting a leak occurred. If you can supply your order number in a reply to this review, I would be more than happy to look into this further for you.

If we can be of any further assistance please contact us on our website, via email or by calling us. Our phone lines are open seven days a week, from 8am until 10pm.
Many Thanks

Rob McCullough

AOL4499719 is the order number
Send me an email and I'll send a photo of the fault.
The driver informed me at 18:10 they had only just loaded my appliance onto the truck, so I don't think blaming traffic really works.
