On the whole my experience was pretty good. I had to send back my first TV for a replacement - not because it was faulty but because I wanted one with a slightly better spec. This was all accomplished... See more

Really helpful on the phone and simple…

Really helpful on the phone and simple to order. Great price. Very pleased with the fridge freezer and exactly as expected.

However the delivery company was rude and delivered earlier than they advised and didn't take the packaging away.
They also never mentioned I had to unplug the old fridge they were collecting well before delivery and said they wouldn't take it, but did in the end.
This is no reflection on Martin Dawes but they may want to review the delivery company they use.

Disgusting

Disgusting! I applied for a dryer I paid the deposit and used clearpay to pay deposit, then 5 minutes later they said it had been declined and any deposits paid will be sent back! Well it wasn’t and I’ve had to pay clearpay they can’t do anything because it’s Martin Dawes fault! And I can’t seem to get hold of anyone to sort it out! I’d like the deposit back asap!!!

The installation team damaged my floor…

The installation team damaged my floor on the day they installed my washing machine the men who installed it told me they had taken pictures of the floor and they would report this when they get back.I had noticed they had ripped the floor and I said something to them straight away about what they had done.It wasn't till 6 months later I emailed Martin Dawes to see what was happening about this as I had heard nothing so they asked me to send them pictures of my damaged floor as they said the men who installed my washing machine showed them the pics but they weren't clear to look at.Anyway I did what they asked it took them 2 weeks to investigate this and I got a email saying they can't do anything about this as it was not reported in the 24 hours of installation.I do not believe this is right or even in the contract I as a customer have emailed them back saying its not good enough and its disgusting how they treat their customers.This was not my falt as the installation team said nothing to me about this only that they will report this when they get back so obviously they did not report it.I am now tempted to take them to a tribunal if nothing is done about this I have asked them to take back the washing machine only to be told I can't break the contract.I will have to continue with the monthly payments if they take it back so I then suggested if they could knock off a few monthly payments for me or give me some compensation.I wait to see what is going to happen over this probably nothing but its worth a shot as I can't afford to get the floor fixed

Sales interface Manager Stuart Glover assistance

I spoke to Stuart Glover in sales with a view to purchasing a washing machine and really appreciated the effort Stuart made to help me with my purchasing decision which in this instance was not practical to follow through simply because the machine was out of stock and the supplier had a lead time which was too long to meet my deadline for replacement.
Thanks again Stuart for your efforts and Martin Dawes is a company I will not be forgetting for all the right reasons.
Great on service and price, and free delivery too.

Never got the telly

Never got the telly. Ended up cancelling as it wasn't in stock and would take over 3 weeks for it to come in . One of these things. Service was good and had no problems with them. Refund was back into my account in a day.

Top Job - Jack

Jack the engineer came round to fix my leaky washing machine. He did an amazing job, explained what was wrong and what he will be doing to fix the problem. He cleaned up after himself and took the rubbish with him. I consider my standards to be high and he was above expectations. Top customer interaction, clear communication Jack is definitely an asset to the company

Very poor service from the delivery…

Very poor service from the delivery team who though helpful were clearly inexperienced with handling these kind of items.

They didn’t appreciate that the old fridge freezer was on wheels so dragged and carried it out damaging the floor covering in three places.

The new fridge freezer didn’t fit through the kitchen door ( our fault) and as a result it is still in our hall four days later. It took me 15 minutes to remove part of the door frame to allow it to fit (1 cm) but they couldn’t wait. After many phone calls with Martin Dawes, who were liaising with delivery company, we are now having to pay a local plumber to move the fridge freezer and plumb it in.

The delivery team evidently had no experience of these items and didn’t know that the new one was also on wheels, nor did they have basic tools e.g. a knife to cut the binding tape of the packaging. Finally, they they also left all of the packaging on our front lawn!

5 ⭐️s to Stuart Glover

5 stars to Stuart Glover! Stuart went above and beyond recently to help me out with a Bosch fridge freezer purchase that I was struggling to order online. We did it the old fashioned way over the telephone! The price of the fridge freezer was already very good on the website and Stuart also gave me a small new customer discount and free delivery. So win win for me all round and a great retail experience! The item hasn’t been delivered yet but I’m sure this will be trouble free also!!

Delivered on Time

Delivered on Time - Bosch Washing Machine.
But I was not able to register for the free washing powder/liquid from Bosch as they said it was not a registered retailer.

Above and beyond

Keith, Service Engineer from Doncaster, who attended to my Mother-in-Law in Wetherby tonight, went above and beyond in relation to customer service. He took the TV away for repair, but also brought her spare TV down from upstairs so that she could enjoy watching TV in the comfort of her living room. She is 86 years old and was having to use her stair lift to go to her bedroom to watch the TV.
Thank you very much Martin, you’ve made an old woman and her daughter very happy 👏👏
