Great product
Great product, but the ordering system defaulted quantities to 1 when I placed the order meaning a wasted a delivery charge having to reorder a second time

Reply from Door Controls Direct
Hi David,
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the ordering system. We understand how frustrating it must have been to place a second order and incur an additional delivery charge.
To make this right, we will be issuing a refund for one of the delivery charges. This will be processed shortly, and you should see it reflected in your account within the next few days.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will pass your feedback on to our team to help improve the ordering experience going forward.
Kind regards,
