Do Your Customers Matter??

Hands down worst customer service I have ever received.
I currently have an open dispute around a refund with Starel, still unresolved, and it is an absolute nightmare because, firstly, nobody answers the phones, and secondly, nobody replies to our emails.
Strangely, they reply on here saying emails are replied to within 48hrs - this is absolutely not the case.
So far I have made 30 phone calls to them and still not had a resolution, and they have only answered 2 of my calls.
Emails from two weeks prior weren't replied to, hence my phone calls.
Today is my last days worth of patience in resolving this and I am having to seek advice from trading standards around the issue.
I have seen the other reviews on here and, very clearly, there are issues with Starel and wanting to give customers their refunds back, becausde mine isn't the only issue with refunds.

Sourcing marble slabs

I am an interior designer and I love to use marble in my projects. Sometimes it is costy. I visited Starel slab warehouse in Southampton to select marble for my projects. Last month - for my project at Clapham and then earlier this month for another project - in Wimbledon. On both occasions we managed to source beautiful slabs on competitive prices for the kitchen worktops and backsplashes. We got all necessary guiding from the managers and both deliveries were arranged smoothly. I can highly recommend Starel slabs and plan to use them for my future projects as well.

Very helpful in both the showroom and over email

Starel has been very helpful when selecting tiles for our bathroom floor and downstairs toilet. We liked marble but were nervous about the upkeep but they provided lots of reassuring guidance. Also very helpful when it came to delivery and a prompt response to enquiries sent over email.

Avoid. No sample ever arrived and no replies to emails

I ordered a sample which I was happy to pay for, despite other suppliers offering free samples (my reference number was 85617). Nothing arrived for a few weeks. I had to chase them and eventually I was told that it was out of stock and they offered a refund or said that I could continue to wait. Months later no sample has arrived. I have emailed them a few times and even said that I would post my experience if I am continually ignored. Their prices look high and the customer service is non existent.

Hello Harvey,

Thank you for your review. We can confirm that the free samples requested were unfortunately out of stock at the time, as the product itself was also unavailable.

We apologise for the delay in communication and appreciate your feedback. We aim to provide competitive pricing alongside quality products and service.
