Late delivery, no update on delivery, chase chase chase, no answer, excuse excuse excuse, finally delivered approx. 5 weeks after order (allegedly from next day delivery stock) , one desk fell apart, customer service not concerned and bordering on non existent , weaselling out of even trying to put the matter right, Please all avoid with a wide berth, the most appalling customer experience we have ever experienced.

“don't touch them!”
Written on: 08/04/2013
I bought a desk and chair, paid the extra and bought from the '24 hour' delivery offering. 1 week after placing the order I rang to find out where it was, to be told 'our systems have been upgraded' so your order won't be fulfilled till next week. 2 weeks after placing the order, I rang and was told; it will be with you on Friday (3 days time); after demanding to speak to a supervisor, was told they would call back first thing the next morning. 3 weeks after placing the order, I rang to...

“Wrong desks delivered and poor customer service”
Written on: 03/03/2013 by subduction
We recently had our garage converted and I ordered 2 desks from Furniture@Work, a week later I messaged them about delivery and received no response. It was only after I threatened to cancel the order that they responded. They delivered the items on the 22nd of February, my dad helped me carry them in. I then had to go to work, it was a surprise when I got home to see that my parents had put them up for me. They also said that they were too big for the room. When I walked in I saw the...

“17 out of 17 chairs all disfunctional in arround 12 months”
Written on: 05/02/2013 by OpusTelecom (1 review written)
Purchased 17 mesh back chairs which started to break fairly soon after delivery. When we notified FAW we were informed that it is a parts only warranty and they would send us parts. Some parts could not be fitted without specialist tools and the remaining chairs continued to break. The very last functional chair has now broken after a year and half. Problems include faulty gas rams, broken backs and wheels. As telephoning FAW hadnt achieved the desired response we wrote to them and have... (read more)

Written on: 25/01/2013
I had so many problems in locating the chair that I liked in the brochure and only find out how to do it when I called the customer service. Apparently, locating the chair by category nor the name is not useful but the actual product code and the color code. Then when I tried to purchase the item online, it looks as though that I was not able to delete the items that I no longer required. What it really worries me is that when the receipt (ie: the pdf file) was generated after payment has... (read more)

I Ordered a desk for my son for christmas over a month ago. Got a phone call weeks after I placed the order saying there was a problem with the website and I shouldn't of been allowed to order the desk that I did as it came as a pack of 4. If I wanted just one desk, I would have to pay a further £30 so they could open the pack. When my Mum complained about having to pay the extra, as it was their fault in the first place, the guy on the phone fobbed her off so much she got confused, and... (read more)

A truly dreadful company. Ordered goods 2 years ago and had dreadful trouble sending back lockers which did not fit the description. Great reassurances from the sales team that I could easily send them back turned into a. 6 month nightmare to get them returned and collected. Had to threaten to charge them rent for the space occupied and actually sent an invoice which finally got them collected.

“AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE”
Written on: 10/11/2012
They messed up the delivery, so I cancelled the order. They didn’t like that at all and took over a month to process my refund. They came up with cancellation charges and all sorts of excuses and even threat of legal action didn’t work. In the end it was the intervention of a national newspaper that made them refund my money. And they only take orders on behalf of the manufacturers so don’t really know what they are selling and are not really in control of the deliveries. (read more)

“Very Poor Customer Service”
Written on: 15/10/2012 by LeeTomkins (2 reviews written)
I attach an e-mail sent to Furniture@work, I think it says it all: Due to the rubbish customer service received from you and your company, please delete our details from your mailing and e-mail list. We do not wish to deal with a company that has such poor regard for customer service, when there are so many companies out there that have far greater interest in providing good customer service. We will take our business elsewhere. Thank you (read more)

“Sick of Mailshots”

I ordered from this awful firm some years back and the goods were shoddy and for fit for purpose, and since then they've sent those awful mailshots to me and invented names of others at my company. I've called them and I've written to them to ask them to stop sending the mailshots. Just taken to emailing them for multiple names, and hopefully that will work. I must have had over a trees worth of paper waste for many names over the years, and more just arrived again. Soooo sick of these... (read more)

They don't deliver what you order, then then try to charge more for what you originally ordered and then claim you have to pay more as you are bound by their terms and conditions.

"Guaranteed delivery within 5-10 working days" don't make me laugh! Goods were not delivered delivery dates were agreed I took three days of work to take delivery. "Unrivaled customer service" according to the site. This is true. IN A BAD WAY. Their customer service is even more shambolic and rude than Basil Fawlty. Waited 3 months for the goods.

“Buyer Beware”
Written on: 05/04/2012
My partner lost several days work (self employed) to wait for goods they promised to send next day delivery. Given false hope on delivery dates. Order was worth several hundred pounds and started to panic that we'd been swindled. Goods did arrive eventually but we were on the verge of calling Trading Standards - perhaps a call to them would have helped future customers. The experience has been upsetting. Should have researched reviews about the company before ordering - learnt a tough... (read more)

I ordered two bookcases online at the start of September and paid at this time. One was delivered on the due date. After several days of enquiring where the other was, I was told that the bookcases were discontinued and I had received the last one. Quite how money can be taken for goods which do not exist is unclear. I was offered an alternative bookcase and was told that stock had been checked so that the second delivery date was guaranteed. At 4 pm on that date I was informed by email... (read more)

I ordered a 5 drawer filing cabinet in cream from this company in April.

I had to again wait weeks for collection of the item which was completed on the 17th June. Now the 11th July and I am still awaiting a refund. Emails receive a stock reply but no action. No one seems to care less. I can only describe the company as incompetant, uncaring, and... (read more)

The last time I dealt with a company like this was '2 left feet' just before they went bankrupt! I ordered a cabinet and yes it did arrive - but I ordered 'cream', the delivery note said 'fawn' (close enough) but the actual colour is 'brown' - so much for matching our cream kitchen. They do not have colour swatch pull-downs to assist purchasers, though the fact that they needed to check back with their supplier suggests that they did not even know the expected colour anyway!!

“A laughing stock of a company. ”

A laughing stock of a company.
Claim 4-10 working days delivery then take literally WEEKS to NOT DELIVER the goods as ordered.
Whether a private customer or a business your money would be better spent by throwing into the north sea than on this shambles.
CS is a trainwreck no tracking numbers different point of contact and story each time you call. Lies told to you to abot delivery dates and they use a different firm to deliver.

I did read these reviews before ordering goods from furniture@work and was a little concerned but as I couldn't get a colour match from numerous other suppliers I decided to go ahead.
Firstly, I ordered a wood sample via the website which came within 2 days. I then spoke to a sales person about my order telling him about the reviews I'd read and that I was tentative about ordering with them. He said that my order would be delivered within 10 - 14 working days and as we had no time limit...

So, promised delivery date 48 hours, moved into 2 weeks, but at list they told me it will happen before I paid for my order, so I had a choice to cancel. Order was delivered in parts, one a week, so after 3 weeks I had my two desks, two cupboards and a chair.

I ordered a chair. They took the money from my account, and then emailed me to say that the order couldn't be fulfilled. They offered me an alternative chair, but it wasn't what I was looking for, and so asked for a refund, in the email reply. There was no response. I phoned them, and customer services woman tried to persuade me to take a different chair. I said I'd prefer a refund. She persisted, asking me what if she could guarantee the delivery of the first chair I'd ordered? Shouldn't it have been guaranteed the first time? So I had to insist on a refund. She said it would be processed and to expect an email. Nothing all day. I phoned again, and the same woman put me through to someone else, who said it would be cancelled and refunded. I got an automated email telling me that my request was being processed and that it would take up to 48 hours for them to respond. Still waiting. I phoned Consumer Direct, and they said that if the order couldn't be fulfilled, the contract was void, and I should be given a refund promptly. They advised me to get in touch again if I don't get a refund. While I'm waiting, Furniture@Work are no doubt making a small amount of interest on my money while it it sits in their bank accounts. I would never use this company again.
