Sent back hair dryer at our expense as…

EDIT - following their response below the video was sent on the same day and we’ve chased a response three times since then and had no answer

Sent back hair dryer at our expense as it stopped working within the guarantee period. They sent us a replacement which was received also faulty. Asked for a video of evidence that it wasn’t working which we sent and now they’re ignoring all emails. I assume they’ve just sent me back the same faulty hair dryer I sent them in the first place as it has exactly the same fault, and are now taking zero responsibility. This was a very expensive hair dryer, so looks like we’ll have to go to trading standards to get this sorted out.

We’re very sorry for the frustration caused. We did respond to your email on Monday, 7th September, requesting video footage of the fault so we could investigate this further, but we haven’t received a response since.

We certainly aren’t ignoring your emails and would be happy to get this resolved for you. Please reply to our latest email with the requested footage, and our team will assist you further. - Team Hot Tools

I love this curler

I love this curler. It's great it came with a Glove and a mat as it's my first time to use a curler like this so it's really helpful. It has a 10 second timer which is handy but a bit tricky to try press when you're trying to hold your hair to curl. Other than that I'm in love with this. Delivery was quick and no issues. I got the 32mm version as ive thick hair and glad I did.

Terrible customer service

Terrible customer service, after having issues with my straighteners that are still under warranty ,I was told to return them to the seller ( just my look ) I emailed and was told I had to contact hot tools ,returned my straighteners through royal mail ,and after 4 days I got an email saying my straighteners were being returned to myself has I had to return them to salon promotions!! absolutely appalling customer service and a lack of knowledge on returns !

yes I fully understand this but why was i asked to return the straighteners back to yourselves and sent me a returns link for royal mail ??? then had them returned ???
absolutely terrible not good ,and would never buy from hot tools AGAIN !

As outlined in our email correspondence, we advised that you had reached the customer service team for the Hot Tools online store at www.hottools.ie. Our team is only able to assist with products purchased directly through our own online stores, including www.hottools.ie and www.hottools.co.uk.

As your purchase was made through another retailer, we are unfortunately unable to process a warranty claim or return directly on this occasion, as we are an online retailer rather than the product manufacturer. In this instance, the warranty claim would need to be handled by the original retailer from whom the item was purchased.

We appreciate that this may be frustrating, but we hope this helps clarify why we were unable to assist further in this case. - Team Hot Tools

I have a curling iron and a drying brush. Saved me a fortune. I could never get the front of my hair like a salon blow dry until i baught the brush. Curler is very easy to use due to right angle. Using both years now.
