No quibble at all from this company

I emailed re my 10 month old pool blaster cleaner not working. They immediately sent a replacement. No quibbling at all and next day delivery. As I couldn’t find a phone number I was a bit sceptical, but I’m still in shock at this fabulous response from Poolwarehouse UK

Raeguard cover

Their claims regarding performance of the cover are absolutely true. I was absolutely astounded by the reduction in heating consumption, originally I was heating the pool for 7 hours a day to attain 30 deg. It has now reduced to 3.5 hours per day to attain the same. The evaporation loss is negligible with water clarity 100% improved.
IT IS VERY REFRESHING TO FIND A COMPANY WHOSE CLAIMS ARE WITHOUT QUESTION SPOT ON.
Many congratulations and best wishes for the future.

Worst customer service

Worst customer service

So basically you have said that I asked for your VAT

Indeed YES I do. But still, you didn't give me any information regarding on your VAT number.

Why is that? You asked for who I am.
I am nobody anyway =)

Now I know that you are also one kind of Rogue Company that's afraid to show information regarding your VAT number.

While other Legit sellers posted their VAT numbers on their websites.

Very BAD Customer Support Indeed

Why would I place an order on a similar website something like your website tho?

It's because Rogue Companies like you who are very dodgy to hide their VAT will definitely scam other people 100%

There was a special place in HELL for certain people like you who only knew to SCAM OTHERS

Hi,

This person out of the blue asked for our VAT number - I replied that as we did not know if his email was legitimate please advise who he was and reason for request.
his reply was
"So technically you are not VAT registered
Since legit VAT sellers in the UK posted their VAT numbers On their website
Anyway thank you "

to which I replied
"Hi,
Happy to give you our VAT number if you tell me who you are and why you want it.
All our invoices and confirmation of order contain our VAT number.

Regards

Alison"

so to be honest I have no idea what this review is about!!

you have replied but I see I cannot reply again -I clearly said I would give you the VAT number if you advised the reason for wanting it - and anyway if you had bothered to go to the checkout page both our VAT number and our Company number are there- really it appears you have nothing better to do - I see you have also given a bad rating to another company you have not actually placed an order with.

I do hope other reviewers are aware of you and your blatant effort to call us a rogue company - shameful behaviour.

This company is brilliant

This company is brilliant. We made an error on the size. No problem. A new cover was sent out and the incorrect one picked up. We also ordered a roller. Again we had help with the fixing, which proved to be very easy. It was such a pleasure doing business with a business that only wants to help. Again - BRILLIANT

These covers seem to be the best option…

These covers seem to be the best option for quality/price. I've got a feeling if you try and go cheaper on a pool cover you'll end up regretting it.
Their customer support is v.good. Were always available on phone/email. And my cover came the next day. It was easy to fit. If I can fit one of these anyone can!

The best value for your money.

This is the third cover I've bought for my pool in the last 4 years, and it's certainly the best.
Easy to fit, excellent quality.
Do not buy the cheaper bubble wrap options as I did in the past.
This is the best value.

Hi,

Thank you for your review. We make the covers ourselves onsite and only use the best materials from the leading manufacturer of solar cover materials, Plastipack Ltd. Regards Alison

Excellent customer support

We ordered a solar cover for our above ground pool, product is excellent quality with a great warranty. Comes well packaged with a fast delivery. We were super happy with the customer service and support. Alison was very quick replying to emails and helped us sort out a pool cover problem. I would recommend this company.

Excellent service from this company. I had a small problem with my pool cleaner which was sorted out under warranty very speedily and efficiently by Alison. I will definitely use for Pool Warehouse for future purchases.

Good pool cover

Ordered a pool cover. Arrived within 5 days all good. It would have helped to know that pool warehouse and avonsci are the same co. I cancd my order with warehouse and reordered with avonsci as they were offering a discount! Cover is good correct size. Ordered one before with this company and it has lasted 11 years! Pleased with order tnx.

I’m VERY impressed!

Needing a new solar cover for a 16x32 ft pool with a Roman end, plus some other bits and pieces, I put my order in on a recent Saturday and to my amazement, it all arrived on the following Thursday! The order was complete and the cover fitted perfectly to the measurements I had provided! Given all the issues generally over supply of items plus this time of year there must be lots of pool orders going in, I a very impressed! I have immediately put in my order for a new winter cover for my pool!

Well done!

Sceptical at first.....would use again :)

was sceptical as not much info about the company about..... gave it a shot following advice from others who had used them in a FB site. Glad i did my delivery arrived today (12ft round geobubble cover) well packaged and within the 5-7 working days delivery stipulated on their site. I got notification of delivery this morning. The cover came a smidge bigger than the 12 ft i ordered and overlaps the pool a little ATM but i assume this is to allow for the expected shrinkage on the cover.

Hi,
Thank you for that. We always try and keep to our delivery timescales and also to keep our prices as low as possible. I understand we are mentioned on a number of FB groups - perhaps they could also review !!

Good price and super quick delivery

We ordered a 12 foot Bestway above ground pool from this company finding them to be circa £100 cheaper than other suppliers. We were a bit nervous but though it was worth a shot. Ordering was simple and an email was received to confirm the order had been received and was being processed. It actually arrived several days earlier than we were expecting which was a nice surprise. Well packaged, good price and speedy delivery....now if only the sun hadn't gone away we would be swimming all summer

Custom pool cover

Pro's
- Easy to use site
- Great range of products
- 7 days from order to receipt of a custom size pool cover is fantastic (just in time for the weekend)
- Competitive pricing

Cons,
- Difficult to reach by phone
- No dispatch notification

Overall I've had a pleasant experience dealing with Avon Scientific/Pool Warehouse UK. I would rate them 5* if they can make the order progress a bit more interactive (when required). I.e. Answer calls or take messages and respond later. Resource costs money and therefore I'd be happy to pay more for the products to have a better customer experience. Something to consider...

Hi, thank you for that. you should receive an automatic confirmation of despatch from the couriers-dx- perhaps gone to junk. You should also be able to leave an answering machine message at any time. we are currently overwhelmed with orders, with only limited staffing still and restricted working conditions, all leaving to us concentrating on making, packing and despatching covers as our first priority. We are a small family business adapting to the overwhelming demand for our products and covers. I'm glad you got your cover within our sensible lead time and are happy with it. I will certainly check to ensure the couriers are sending their despatch emails. regards Alison

Product is fine. Poor customer service experience

First of all can I say this review is about their non existent customer service. I emailed them and made it very clear that I wasn’t chasing the order I just needed them to know that I was going away for a few days and didn’t want the item to arrive when no-one was at home. I got no response. The telephone lines are permanently engaged. I then sent a message via Facebook messenger and on their Facebook page. This generated a generic response as if I was chasing the order. I tried to confirm once again that I wasn’t chasing. The person I was speaking to via messenger said they were the owner of the Company and once again spoke to me like I was chasing putting in capital letters that the item was being sent out within the advertised time scales. I told them I was disappointed with their attitude. The company encourage customers to use the email facility to communicate. As other reviewers have said no updates are sent prior to despatch. I am sure with the technology available today it wouldn’t be too hard to create a better customer service experience. The item I ordered has arrived and I’m happy with it. It seems that customer service is not high on their list of priorities.

Hi,
There has obviously been some misunderstanding here . I made sure this lady's order was despatched before she went on holiday - which was what she was advising in her original email. Obviously I forgot to advise her that I had done this, for which I can only apologise. We are a small family business who pride ourselves on our customer service but when you are hit with the sort of orders we have experienced in the last few weeks,( we are the only company able to supply the end user with made to measure solar covers within 2 weeks in the UK) still with restrictive working practices, something has had to give. Unfortunately, making, packing and despatching orders have had to take priority.
