The fact I have been sent this link obviously indicates the total lack of customer focus/ understanding-nice words are not going to be used when describing the experience I had with Alex and as such this company. I had to chase my order 4 times each time to be told that he was very sorry and that it was all going to be sorted - lack of staff in the wharehouse was one of the many fob offs I received and which resulted in it taking over a 3 weeks from ordering to delivery of 1 bathroom basin ( 1 week of it travelling 200 miles from Somerset to Essex). Then I was told as a "goodwill gesture" I could have goods to the value of £40 - this was then forgotten by Alex so I had to send him the email he had sent me to remind him - then I was told because what I wanted was 1 pack of imperial tiles not only would I have to pay the difference in cost but £25 delivery. I have several bathrooms to refurbish and in this time of keen internet pricing the only real selling point a company has is its human interface - they have to be know their products be honest when questioned - when there has been a problem make sure that it has been resolved and be pro active in ringing the customer to confirm that it indeed has been resolved - this last point failed 3 times with my purchase. Then don't offer goodwill gestures when a customer has had to pay for a very expensive plumber based on the 2nd promised delivery date stating its one figure but then throwing in a £25 delivery charge so the gesture is in fact £15.
Needless to say I didn't take up the offer I wasn't prepared to invest either time or more money with bathroom village as my experience had been so disappointing

Thanks very much for your thoughts on this matter, the reason we still send a request for feedback is to learn from our mistakes.
As Managing Director I am sorry that we made some mistakes but stress we did have some issues in our warehouse with 2 staff members off ill combined with Summer holidays, this led to a few mistakes happening which I must stress are very rare.
As for the good will gesture we offered, Alex was wrong to ask for a delivery charge and will not be doing this in the future and you were right to be annoyed.
I would stress that if anyone reads our reviews they can see this type of situation doesn't happen often.
This is a lesson learned, and we will ensure this never happens again.
