Smashing goods, good price. Pleased that had option to choose delivery day but having stayed in all day goods did not arrive. Emails informing me goods coming, then email at 5pm from courier company saying they had goods and would deliver next day/following day. Phoned courier company (good instructions within emails) but he couldn't confirm when they would deliver.

Ordered rattan garden furniture, parasol and cover set last Monday on next day delivery service. As it was a bank holiday I wrongly assumed delivery would be the Wednesday! Well on I'm still waiting!! They took my money quickly enough but firstly: when I required on the Thursday as to where the order was I was told the cover wasn't in stock so the whole delivery hasn't been dispatched yet!!!! Fair enough, I cancelled the cover so as not to delay delivery further! Lady I spoke to said my... (read more)

Absolutely furious!! Having been told table would be delivered Monday, have now recieved an email (after sending several throughout day asking for confirmation) saying it is not in stock!! "May" be available on 30 May! So I'm left with 6 chairs and no table!! Absolutely appalling! Stay clear of this company unless you want to waste valuable time and like getting stressed out!! Shocking!

So I've been called by someone at Garden furniture World to arrange collection of the chairs and parasol on next Tuesday! Once they've received the products back they will issue a refund. Really hoping the courier collects on Tuesday, I'm not confident and think this may be an ongoing saga! So now I have to take a further day off work to await the collection! This is costing me a fortune and I've got nothing to show for it! Frustration is not the word!! Really hoping I get a full refund too £ 650 is a lot of money!!! Buyers beware!
Written on: 21/05/2013
As I thought the collection did not happen today! Furious! Spent yet another day waiting in! Bear in mind I'd had 2 emails from them confirming collection today. I called them at 5.45pm and was told they've definitely put me in for a collection today, was told that they'd contact courier to find out where they are. Revive a call 2 minutes later saying courier has confirmed they're collecting today and I'm probably last on the list! Well someone's clearly lying again and this is getting ridiculous! Leaving it to my husband to deal with now as its stressing me out too much! THE worst customer service I've ever come across!!

Ordered furniture on no problem. It didn't get delivered next as it said which wasn't a problem and the delivery people did call to say they would bring it the day after. It never came on the Friday and there was a bank holiday so thought it would come the Tuesday but didn't. I called Garden Furniture World and was on the phone holding for 10 mins so recalled as if it was a new order thinking someone would answer and was holding there for 20 mins.

You're not alone! I'm having similar issues. In fairness I am getting replies to emails and getting through to the couriers but I get different people each time and different variations of what's happening to my order! Would definitely never use this company again!
Written on: 15/05/2013
You definitely not alone, I ordered a garden swing which waited in all day to be delivered but did not come, then when tried to contact them cant talk to a human being which is really infuriating all through e-mails. Cut long story short, they did respond to my e-mail and shock horror it was not in stock. Ordered another one at an additional cost because more expensive. Day before delivery got a phone call it was damaged and therefore I then had to look for another one because I wanted it the following day and they had no more stock. Because it was just after half eleven she could not deliver on the Friday as planned so would have been Tuesday after the bank holiday. I wanted one for that weekend so I told her to cancel my order and refund my money. That was on the 2nd May, to date no refund so Credit Card investigation team will look into it for me. Quick to take my money not quick putting it back. I would not use this company ever again, however, they are part of World Stores I do believe and would not use them either. However, stupidly of me I went to my garden centre and because it was £110.00 more for same item I ordered it online through World Stores not Garden Furniture World and paid again on my Credit Card, however, to be fair although had problems again not in stock they have e-mailed me to say my refund will be in my account within 5 working days. Confused.dot.com (World Stores) so many fingers in one pie. I ordered another swing on Monday which came today and I am really happy with and were definitely not World Stores Group or any part of. DO NOT USE WORLD STORES ANYONE, UNLESS YOU WANT STRESS LIKE I HAVE HAD. £279.98 is a lot of money to go missing and hopefully my other payment of £289.98 as promised (not holding my breath on that one but you never know) may well go back into my account. Hopefully all of it will be refunded. I wish had read the reviews first but no I didnt. Lesson to be learnt there.

Ordered a table and chairs last Friday. "Next day delivery". A week later it is still showing as at the courier. The couriers won't answer the phone. Garden furniture world wont take after sales calls and direct you to fill in a form. Have done so three days running and not had a single response yet. Shocking, shocking company. I strongly recommend that you do nto try your luck with them, I am going to now contact my credit card company and get a refund. (read more)

Hi, I am in the same position as you. No contact from anyone. Did manage to get the parasol but it was the wrong colour! I would appreciate if you could give an update if you are successful in getting a response or if the credit card company help (I am so glad I used my CC as I dont usually). Thanks

I ordered a rattan garden sun lounger with delivery set for the 8th May. I waited in all day but nothing arrived. The World Stores helpline tells you that due to high volumes of after sales calls they are taking emails only, but they don't reply to those either.

Next day delivery is not next day delivery! 4 days later it still says there is no update on the table and chairs I've ordered. I sent email to company to get an update but no response.

UPDATE: Still no contact from the company despite making a complaint via email (over 24hrs have passed). I have now received the lazy susan (looks fine) but been sent the wrong coloured parasol (black not natural as box and p/work state).
Written on: 15/05/2013
UPDATE 2: So it's now 9 days later and still no furniture. I received a phone call last Friday to apologise for the delay and that it's been arranged for delivery today (Wed). Can I send them a photo to prove the parasol is incorrect (I've done this. I now have two emails confirming delivery of table and chairs for today and the parasol to be collected and new one delivered also today.
So I've taken the day off work to receive a phone call from XPD can they arrange deliver for this Friday. They no nothing about it being arranged for today! I'm furious as given them an opportunity to resolve this and been let down again.
I've written an email back requesting compensation but I'm not holding my breath to seeing that let alone the furniture.

Final update (hopefully): Receive the outstanding furniture day 11 after order. The Ratton table was fine (though had to use own tool to put together as rounded their one out). Out of the 6 chairs only one damaged with missing foot but they should be sending me replacement parts. The wrong coloured parasol was collected and replaced however new one has a hole in the fabric. They have told me they are sending me another one and I can dispose of the damaged one. Compensation for all this grief (I requested it) was the cost or parasol reimbursed.
Despite all the issues I was pleased with the customer service once I spoke to someone. They phoned me back when promised. I got the furniture on my birthday though only could use chairs for tea as not enough time to put up table....oh we'll half way there :)
