Excellent Service

We have been a customer of Hallways for many years. They deliver excellent customer service, in depth product knowledge, keen pricing and business ethics. This is a Company that you can trust.
Finally as Hallways are long established, as we have grown, we have been able to re-ordered with absolutely no loss of theme or consistency.
They are a first rate Supplier.

Replacement wheel

Having broken a wheel on a small filing cabinet I contacted the company for a replacement and was delighted to receive one, plus screws, promptly and at no charge - excellent customer service.

EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE & UNPROFESSIONAL

This has been the most appalling and unprofessional service we have ever experienced with a furniture company. Our company paid for next delivery. Initially (on the next day) there was no contact from the company. By 12.30pm, as we had not heard anything from them, we contacted them. They said they would need to look into it and would call back in 5 minutes. We waited patiently for over 1 hour. Having heard nothing from them despite their assurance to the contrary, and it now approaching 2pm and the close of business looming, we called them again - only to be told that they were 'on hold' and trying to reach the courier. We then tried to call the courier and, after repeated attempts, we were told that the delivery was going to take place between 2pm and 4pm. So we waited. Nothing was delivered. So we called back just after 4pm. They said they would call the courier and we would receive a call back. By 4.30pm we had received no call backs so we called again. Eventually we were advised that the courier refused to deliver the furniture due to them feeling uncomfortable about the access restrictions on the surrounding roads.
We assured them that we had checked with the City Council and they still would not listen. We offered for the item to be delivered to another local address with easier access. They refused. Then they said they were going to be late for their next delivery so the delivery would not happen that day (Thursday).

The next day (Friday) we called Hallways (no-one had taken the time to call us...again). We were advised that the item could not be delivered that day but would be guaranteed to happen by 10am on Monday of the following week (so much for having paid a premium for 'next day delivery'). We waited patiently until 1pm on Monday. When nothing had turned up, we called Hallways again. They said they would look into it and call back. We received no call back so called again and was told to expect the delivery between 3pm and 4pm on the Monday. Nothing came that afternoon either. When we called back, we were advised that the courier would call us - they did not. So Monday came and went. We were finally advised that the delivery would be rescheduled to Tuesday morning before 10am.

At a few minutes to 10am on Tuesday, we received a call from Hallways to say they could not trace the furniture (it was lost!). By this stage we said 'enough is enough'. If we could not be given a clear answer by 10.30am, please refund us in full by the close of business that day. They agreed. At 10.28am we received a call back to say they still could not trace the item so agreed to refund us in full.

We now wait with trepidation to see whether they would honour the refund by the close of business.

Frankly, we have never seen such a lack of professionalism, poor communication and terrible co-ordination.

Hallways use 'Chase Freight' to manage their deliveries. Chase Freight, in turn, use 'Burns Express' to DO the delivery. What an utter shambles.

Our advice? DO NOT GO NEAR THEM. We certainly won't be going back to them.

Hello, thank you for your review, we acted and reacted as we always have and in this instance we were let down by a courier. When you're order came in we booked it in for a next day pallet from Bournemouth to Glasgow as we always have. When you called for an update on the day initially we did call back on the phone number we had and left a message. These messages seemed not to get through to the right person though because at one point we had two people phoning at us at the same time asking about this order.

To avoid miscommunication again we asked for courier to contact you directly to arrange delivery to suit, we asked them on 3 separate occasions for this, in which they agreed they would. That was why we didn't contact you, because at this point from Bournemouth there was nothing we could do to, this was down to the courier to deliver the goods. Obviously when you called saying you hadn't heard anything we jumped straight on it and we passed along information once we had something to update you with. We even requested the courier to off load the pallet and bring the goods inside after we learned you had someone in specifically for it.

As we discussed this morning the courier ended up losing the furniture which is just disgraceful and as of now still not located them. This has been sent to the courier as well just to highlight how unprofessional this whole ordeal has been. We will continue to do our very best for our customers, we deliver 90% of our deliveries with our own drivers, it's just with the way the world of 'next day delivery' is going, couriers have to be used.

Your refund was made within an hour after you cancelled, the bank may take a couple of days to process.

Again our sincerest apologies for all the disruption this has caused.

Kind Regards - Hallways Office Furniture

Shockingly Poor Customer Service.

Shockingly Poor Customer Service.

I ordered my desk for a particular shaped room so I specifically required a right hand desk, not left. A left handed desk was delivered by mistake. I'm a reasonable man, mistakes happen. I asked if the correct desk could be redelivered before 8am as I had meetings in central london all week, which they obliged. This is where the service went drastically downhill. The first delivery man was polite and friendly and offered to help me carry the desk to the room it was to be put in. The second delivery driver turned up at the crack of dawn and was SHOUTING in my house. He did not offer to help with my desk so I asked if he would mind, still shouting in my house at 7 in the morning, "we aint supposed to, if there's any damage it aint my fault" and he carried on shouting all the way up the stairs. I then said "mate, this is a shared house and people are still asleep, would you mind keeping your voice down please?" to which he responded "that aint my problem mate, you asked me to help you." as if that was justification for shouting?! After proceeding back down the stairs, he threw the receipt in my face and said "thats yours" then slammed the front door behind him. I opened the door to call after him and said "you need to check your attitude mate" to which he responded "I aint the one with a problem, dont take you s**t out on me, I'm just a delivery driver."

I have never in my life experienced such naive and appalling treatment AS A PAYING CUSTOMER having just spent £800 on a desk! This individual has really done the company a disservice. When I phone up to complain, the same individual had put in a complaint against ME to cover himself, saying I assaulted him! I have honestly never been so angry. Nothing will come of this and the moron will keep his job, I can only advise you DON'T make any purchases from this company, as you're at risk of false accusations when they provide poor service.

Hello,

As verbally stated yesterday, we were awaiting your emailed response from you, for which this did not, or still has not arrived !
You then rang to ask that we call your Managing Director, for which we did at 0905 hrs but had no response.
We tried again and left a voice mail message for which our records will show.
As a business trading successfully for over 30 years, we rely heavily on our customer service to trade, for which on this occasion as discussed verbally with you
was not in keeping with what we wish to portray, and we sincerely apologise.
We have a disciplinary procedure in place for which if you wish to discuss verbally with us, we will be happy to explain and let you know the outcome of our findings.
As a company, we also have a procedure for insurance purposes to inform relevant authorises of any assault claims.
If and when we receive your full report as requested, this will be included, and again action will be taken accordingly from the relevant authorises.
Please contact us direct should you wish to discuss further, and as stated verbally to you, we will let you know the outcome of this unfortunate event,
and look to compensate you accordingly, should the findings reflect.

Kind Regards

National Office Furniture Supplies

I ordered and paid for an executive desk, filing cabinet and mobile 3 drawer cabinet and was quoted a date for delivery. Low and behold I had a telephone call the day before asking if I would like it delivered early.
The driver was very happy in his work and very helpful and carried the units in for us without hesitation, more than other companies will do,
When we opened the furniture we found the desk easy to assemble and the quality of the product excellent. Would recommend this company and will use them again. First class service.
