It's all good until its not

It's all good until its not. Purchased next day delivery, that didn't happen, arrived the day after which by then I didn't need it. Arrange a return which they asked me to pay for then after 3 days they said they had it back but will take another 5 days to get it booked in to be inspected. It's brand new and unopened? Thats £8k I'm waiting on all. Disgusting

Good Morning Joep,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review; we do appreciate it.

Please accept my apologies for the issues you faced with your order. This is certainly not the experience we expect our customers to have.

I would like to investigate this further with the hope of resolving it for you, however, I have been unable to locate your Sales Order with the information you have provided.

Please can you provide me either with your Sales Order Number or your Postcode and I will certainly come back to you.

Kind Regards,

Good Afternoon Joep,

Thanks for updating your review.

I'm so sorry to hear of the issues you had with your order; this does not reflect our usual great service and goods, nor is it acceptable.

After a review of your order, I can see that you spoke with a case manager on 14/09 regarding the status of your return. I have logged this so we can continue to review this internally and use it to help us improve our service.

Apologies again for any inconvenience this has caused.

Kind Regards,
Dyann

Good Afternoon Richard,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review; we do appreciate it.

Please accept my apologies for the issues you faced with the delivery of your Drone. This is certainly not the experience we expect our customers to have.

After looking into this further, I have issued a refund for the delivery fee you paid DPD as our way of saying sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Please allow 3-5 working days for it to appear in your account.

I hope this is an acceptable resolution to your review, but if you require further support, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind Regards,
Dyann

drone arrived on time delivered by DPD exactly at start of 1hr timeslot. Good to deal with a company that does what it says and uses a reputable courier that delivers to your door, not leave it sitting on a wall in full view and 6ft away from public footpath not mentioning names but Evri company should avoid using them.
