“Same story - inability to deliver in reasonable time!”

★☆☆☆☆

written by kiddlej on 25/06/2014

I ordered a mobile phone on behalf of my elderly mother on 12th June. The item was shown as "in stock" on the website. A day later I received an email saying that the item had been despatched. Now two weeks later, the link to the courier web site is still showing "Order Generated" but no sign of anything actually being shipped.It was certainly not made clear, prior to ordering, that I should wait 28 days before troubling them again. I ordered the phone as my mother was due to go into hospital - I have now had to lend her another phone.
If you read through the other reviews on this site and you will notice a trend here...
COME ON "SCOTTS OF STOW" WAKE UP AND PROVIDE A DECENT SERVICE!
I would strongly advise against ordering ANYTHNG from this company unless you have a month or two to spare before requiring delivery.
The identical phone is available from other suppliers offering next day delivery at the same price. I have learnt from my mistake - I hope others will not fall into the same trap!

Scotts-Of-Stow's Response to kiddlej's Review

Written on: 27/06/2014

Good Morning

Thank you for taking the time this morning to discuss with me your recent shopping experience with Scotts of Stow - your feedback is very valuable to us.

I was pleased to have the opportunity to apologise to you for the disappointment experienced, but also to discuss in more detail our website and delivery information/expectations.

As explained we do deliver the majority of our in stock orders within 8 days, however we do ask you to allow between 14 and 28 days for delivery as some items are despatched to you directly from one of our trusted specialist suppliers.

I happy to say that I have been able to provide you with more information regarding your order and satisfactorily answered all the points raised in your review.
I will keep in contact with you to ensure a satisfactory resolution is achieved.

Once again, we thank you for your time and your valuable feedback.

Regards



Scotts of Stow
