Great service and delivery

Great service...called me 10mins before arriving. Very friendly and took care bringing it into our house and setting sofa bed up. Gave me a run through of how to operate the bed. Took all the packaging away. Could not be faulted.

Unhelpful Drivers

Despite sending the three little words location, the driver still went to the wrong address. My neighbour pointed them in the right direction. The driver and his mate wanted me to sign the delivery paperwork before they had offloaded the delivery but they didn't appear to own a pen. They were delivering a gazebo in two heavy boxes. They offloaded them into the middle of my driveway. I requested they put them into my garage which was about 8 feet away. They said they couldn't because the boxes were too heavy to move. I pointed out they had just lifted them off the van and seemed to manage that ok. The driver then suggested I break open the boxes and move the contents inside piece by piece. I pointed out that wasn't really practical. Finally they said they would move them out of the goodness of their hearts but were not supposed to. I then signed the paperwork after finding a pen and off they drove. I have recieved large deliveries before and never had a problem with drivers putting items in my garage. The first thing they usually say is"where do you want me to put the delivery" Not in this case. Never recieved a delivery like this before. I do hope the gazebo is better quality than the delivery driver and his mate.

Thank you for your feedback.

It is always our aim to provide the highest level of service, so it is disappointing to receive negative feedback such as this. We are sorry to hear about your experience with the delivery.

Despite you providing clear location details, it’s concerning that the driver initially went to the wrong address and required assistance from your neighbour. Additionally, the situation you described regarding being asked to sign for the delivery before the items were offloaded, along with the lack of a pen, is not the standard we expect from our delivery drivers.
.

In relation to placing the items in your garage, we would like to clarify that our service is a kerbside delivery service. This means deliveries are made to the nearest accessible point at the delivery address, and drivers are not required to move items beyond this point. This service level would have been communicated to the seller at the time of booking.

That said, we appreciate how this may have been frustrating, particularly given your previous experiences, and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Please be assured that your feedback will be taken seriously and passed on to the relevant team so that this can be addressed and improvements made.

We do hope that the quality of the gazebo itself meets your expectations and helps to restore your confidence in us.

Professional Delivery by Route 1

Professional Delivery by Route 1, excellent communication by the two polite and skilled gentlemen who did their utmost to get our sofa bed up six flights of stairs.
Explained the mechanism and took all packaging away, we were super happy!

Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our team. Delivering up six flights of stairs is no small task, so we’ll be sure to pass your praise on to the team involved—they’ll really appreciate it.

It’s great to know they kept you well informed, took the time to explain the sofa bed mechanism, and left everything tidy by removing the packaging. That’s exactly the level of service we aim to provide.

We’re thrilled you’re happy with your new sofa bed—thank you again for choosing Route 1 Group!

Regular delivery updates and efficient service

I was regularly updated about dates and times of delivery. It was challenging to install the sofa bed in my (flat) bedroom but the delivery men persevered and managed to get it in without any damage, although it took about 40 minutes!

Great company. Kept informed all the way through the process. Tracking was exceptional. Drivers called with updates. Great friendly delivery drivers who went the extra mile with a particularly bulky item. I wish they were all like this.

Superb Delivery

Clear delivery time and a call when 25 mins away. The drivers were excellent and went above and beyond to get the sofa bed upstairs in a 1700s cottage! They were professional throughout and re assembled the sofa bed when they got it upstairs! Absolutely fantastic service! Thank you to them both!

Excellent service delivering our new multi-game arcade machine. They rang at 9 on the morning of delivery and said they would be there around 4. Rang again 10 mins before arrival. Perfect delivery - wish other couriers were as good!

Kimpton and Elvis are 10/10

Kimpton and Elvis are the first delivery men who have ever moved furniture into my house without damaging anything. They were absolutely fantastic and aside from their heavy-lifting skills they were both incredibly friendly and so obliging. Best service ever.

Delivery 13+ hours ahead of agreed time.

The men who delivered our furniture were courteous and helpful, but they arrived 13+ hours before the scheduled delivery time slot of 7-10am on 12 March. Yes, before 18.00 on 11th March. We were in shock. Perhaps we should have said 'no, come back in 13 hours'. Four pieces of furniture were delivered for one room, including sofas and a sofa-bed. The only way to make space was to move the old furniture out of doors. This is due to be collected today by the British Heart Foundation. The delivery men wrapped the old furniture in the heavy duty plastic from the new furniture but we are in the Lake District and it has been a wet and stormy night. The plastic has blown off and very good quality furniture is now soaking wet. I fear BHF may not take the furniture when they arrive. Arriving 13-16 hours before schedule is unacceptable and has caused us a problem (likely to be an expensive and already a very stressful one) to make alternative arrangements at short notice for furniture removal. It is also potentially creating waste for landfill that could have been reused and also raised substantial money for an important charity. The email states that the delivery was on 12 March, but it was actually on 11th March, arrival at house before 18.00. As it was dark by the time the furniture was moved (out and in), and the furniture was in a very narrow passage way, I was unable to access it to secure the plastic. Disastrous and stressful.

Thank you for your feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear about the distress and disruption this situation has caused.

I’m pleased to hear that our delivery team were courteous and helpful during the visit. However, I fully appreciate that arriving significantly earlier than the scheduled delivery window is unacceptable and created a very difficult situation for you.

On this occasion, the crew made very good time on their route and should have contacted you in advance to confirm whether an earlier delivery would have been convenient. This communication did not happen, and I completely understand how unexpected this must have been. You would, of course, have been within your rights to refuse the delivery at that time, and we would have returned the following day within your allocated time slot.

I am especially sorry to hear about the impact this has had on your existing furniture and your planned collection with the British Heart Foundation. I understand how frustrating and stressful this must be, particularly given the weather conditions and the potential loss to a charitable donation.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and stress caused. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and your feedback will be shared with the relevant teams to ensure better communication in future.

If there is anything further we can do to support you following this experience, please do let us know.

Great Experience

I have just had a delivery of a sofabed. Not only were the drivers on time, informed me of when they were going to arrive but their professionalism in ensuring that my home or
sofabed wasn’t damaged was exemplary. Measurements and planning to take upstairs and then showing me how to use the product were great too. Please thank Elvis and Kenton personally for the care they took. Also the office for making sure it was delivered in the time I requested and informing me. All round a great experience.
