“AppliancesUwant are a box shifting organisation run on...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by rickspark on 05/09/2010

AppliancesUwant are a box shifting organisation run on the back of http://www.theobalds.com. Maybe that's how they manage to supply at such great prices?

The website does not include an 'About Us' link. Any organisation not up front about who they are is bound to make you feel a bit uneasy. However, I managed to find an address and other information so eventually, so I placed an order.

I ordered the following items totalling just under £2,000, 2 years ago.

SMEG WARMING DRAWER
SMEG ALL GLASS TOUCH CERAMIC HOB
SMEG Built in Combination Microwave
SMEG FULLY INTEGRATED DISHWASHER

Now I would doubt it was the fault of the high quality caring courier service our great country is renowned for (not), but the packing on the dishwasher was damaged (once unpacked the appliance was okay), the hob was smashed, the oven was bent and fortunately, the warming draw was perfect. The replacement hob which arrived 1 week later was good, but the replacement oven was bent too so I asked for my money back. Customer services were accommodating in dealing with these problems. But what a terrible waste of time, money and resources! The main problem was damaged goods through poor transportation and/or storage.

Overall, I'd pay a bit more and try for quality goods delivered on time and in good condition.

written by on 19/04/2010

I ordered a Smeg hob & single oven in March which was due for delivery 16th April. The delivery has not arrived and the company email address is saying "out of office" & their website is currently down undergoing "Maintenance". Phoning leads to an answerphone message - I have had no response. I believe this company has acted fraudulently and have instructed my bank to recover these monies. I will also be reporting this case to Trading Standards.

“We ordered a Rangemaster cooker, Rangemaster hood and...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 15/04/2010

We ordered a Rangemaster cooker, Rangemaster hood and a ceramic sink from Appliances U Want at the end of February this year. We were told at the time of ordering that the sink and Cooker hood were in stock, but the cooker would not be available until 10th March. Because of the good price, I went ahead with the order. The 10th of March came and went - no goods. E-mailed sales to be told Rangemaster were still out of stock, but would be deliverd the following week. This went on for 3 weeks, and when I finaly got to speak to someone, was told their suppliers were on credit hold !
I cancelled the order for the cooker (and fortunately did get a refund) and we got the sink and cooker hood deliverd two days later. Since then, their website in no longer visible and their phones line diverts to answerphone.

Appliances U Want appear to be a "Fred in a shed" type company that use another company "Theobalds" to supply and deliver their goods.

I re-ordered the Rangemaster cooker through rangecookers.co.uk - who's customer service was excellent. Ordered Friday, delivered the following Wednesday ! Unfortunately they were £75 more expensive than the Appliance U Want price - but at least we got a cooker !!!!

“WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY , THEY ARE A DISGRACE ”

WARNING - DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY , THEY ARE A DISGRACE
I bought a Rangemaster Cooker and hob for £2778.00 on the 4th March. I was told by the girl at applicancesuwant that the items would be delivered on the 26th March. On the day, nothing turned up, no phone call, no email. I could not contact the company by either email or phone and they have made no attempt to contact me. Luckily my bank has agreed to refund the money and investigate the company for fraud, otherwise i would have lost a lot of money. If appliances you want were in financial difficulty then they would have known about this when i ordered the goods. They should never have accepted my order, as when i rung Rangemaster directly they had no knowlegde of this company and no orders waiting delivery. I dont think they ordered my goods at all so taking my money was no less than theft. I hope others that have fallen for this company and are still waiting for delivery/ contact from them, are as lucky as me and will get a refund.

I found this review very helpful because...This is the current situation with me. We were due to have a cooker hood delivered on the 6th April my partner waited in all day with no contact from them. I have phoned and email them with no reply. So now i know this information can go ahead and try to get things sorted out as i bought the product via ebay. Hope other get their things sorted.

“I ordered a Smeg oven 3 weeks ago and was advised by...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 24/03/2010

I ordered a Smeg oven 3 weeks ago and was advised by email of a delivery date as the item was in stock. I requested to change the date to 2 weeks later to coinside with kitchen fitters and me being able to accept delivery. On the day nothing arrived, there were no calls or Emails from applianceuwant.The customer service number continuously goes to answer message. After waiting all day I sent an email which they replied saying the oven wasn`t coming as they no longer used that courier company.They said I could either wait but they didnt know how long for, or have a refund. Luclily I have been able to get an oven from Appliancesonline within 72 hours. applianceuwant are impossible to speak to in person and the fact they only seem to send emails made me wonder if it was a genuine web site. Luckily I have received my refund.

Bought Smeg PISA tap, excellent price ... no problems at all from Appliances U Want. Price, delivery time, comms, will use again. Thought the site looked a bit dodgy at first, probably only because i've been scammed before.

“I got a great deal from another company...”

★★★★★

written by Steve 1234 on 27/05/2008

I got a great deal from another company (£365Electrical.com) but when they sent me a confirmation they had not listed the correct model despite my being very, very clear about what I wanted. I checked again around as many suppliers as I could find and AppliancesUWant were the cheapest by far and offered free delivery on the item I wanted. The delivery was quick and efficient, in fact, the driver called us the day before we were due for delivery and said we could have it straight away if someone could be in to accept it! Great value, good coms and no problems. Well done AUW!

“One of the items wasn't with them on delivery day so...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by squair100 on 16/11/2007

One of the items wasn't with them on delivery day so they did not send the consignment but didn't tell me. Second time of delivery the courier company had incorrect information and so couldn't deliver the goods. Customer service was very good when everything was going well and I was met with a brick wall when things weren't going well. I asked for a refund of the delivery charge and I was offered a different delivery day or a full refund of all the goods neither of which is helpful at any stage when I have had to take 2 days off work to wait for delivery and have to delay fitting my kitchen. I am still waiting for the goods to be delivered and have to take another day off. Neither of the problems with delivery had anything to do with me. Appliancesuwant blame courier and courier blame appliancesuwant as the customer this is unacceptable.

★★★★★

written by MTWB. on 10/12/2002

I have recently bought my Smeg American style fridge from Kitchen Appliances U Want and found them to be very helpful and best of all very cheap. Especially when you factor in the free delivery within the UK.

The woman who I spoke to was very helpful, delivery was prompt and she even gave me a call to ensure everything was alright!
