Delivery times

Service was great in the showroom as I bought 2 x 3 seater leather sofas and tempur bed in march (we paid it in full ) was told I would be contacted when they would be delivered , Never thought i would not get my paid order until end of July ( 4 months later ) so beware on when you will get your order , I really thought it would be sooner

Hi Anna

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing Sterling Home for your two leather sofas and Tempur bed.

We are delighted to hear that you received great service in our showroom. However, we are very sorry that the delivery timescale did not meet your expectations and that you had not expected to have to wait until July to receive the goods. We understand how disappointing and frustrating it can be to wait longer than anticipated.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable and will be shared with the relevant teams as we continue to improve our customer experience.

We hope you are now enjoying your new furniture and mattress, and we appreciate your patience throughout the process.

Carpet fitting rescheduled- not met
Called 4 hours later onthe day of fitting only to be offered sincere apologies etc
Then told of factory issues/delivery/hiccups in the warehouse etc. Please, I’m not too angry about the fitting times as I was working from home but could see it be an issue for some. but just ke me in the loop.
And don’t tell stories to cover up the truth- just tell the truth, no excuses required!
Very important

Thank you for your feedback Gary

We're very sorry that we let you down with both the rescheduled fitting and our communication around it.

While delays can sometimes occur, we completely agree that keeping customers informed is essential, and we clearly failed to do that in your case.

We also appreciate your comments regarding the explanations you were given. Honest and timely communication is something we strive for, and we're disappointed that this wasn't your experience.

We understand that, although you were able to work from home, the lack of updates and missed appointment could have caused significant inconvenience.

Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams so that we can improve our communication and ensure customers are kept informed of any issues as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention, and please accept our sincere apologies for the frustration caused.

Outstanding customer service

The member of staff who helped us understand, select, and buy a riser recliner chair was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly and went over and above to help us get what we needed. He was a real expert and offered invaluable advice. Also the selection of these chairs available at Sterling was fantastic. Much better than every other store we visited. The chair was delivered to our family member within days and was exactly what they needed, they love it. I cannot recommend and thank Sterling enough. This is our third purchase from Sterling this year and we will now always go there first when looking to buy furniture.

Edit based on Sterling's reply: the employee I refer to in my review is Kerr at the London Road branch, who deserves the recognition.
