Forced hidden fee

After choosing a bed and bedroom furniture to match at your uddingston branch, we were brought to the desk to pay for the goods, the woman we dealt with explained that the delivery guys will come into our home and not to worry they will build our bed and and bring in the rest of the furniture and praised it as a great service, what she forgot to mention that I was charged a extra £119 for this service, at no point was this extra fee mentioned which is shocking.
Even during the conversation my husband said he would just build it and she said, no the guys will build it and put it where you want.
This is shocking that this fee is not disclosed to customers

Hi Andrina

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding the delivery and installation charge.

Whilst a delivery charge that includes installation is normal, we agree that all costs should be clearly explained before a purchase is completed.

We have forwarded your comments onto the store management team so that they can investigate what happened during your visit to our Uddingston store and review the sales process with the team.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we apologise for the frustration caused.

Kind Regards

Hi Lorraine

Thank you for your feedback.

We're sorry to hear that you're disappointed with your sofa and that it hasn't met your expectations for comfort.

As comfort is a personal preference, it can vary from customer to customer. However, we really are sorry that your sofa does not meet your personal preference.

Please contact our customer service team directly if you want to discuss this further.

Hi John,

Thank you for your feedback.

We're delighted to hear that our delivery drivers provided excellent service. We're sorry, however, that your sofas aren't feeling as comfortable as you expected.

It may be worth noting that new upholstered furniture can take a little time to settle and soften with regular use, so you may find the comfort improves over the coming weeks. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you'll soon be enjoying your new suite as intended.

Thank you for choosing Sterling Home Tillicoultry.

Excellent service and support

Steven McKelvie at Sterling organised the quotation and the sale for us for our floors/Carpeting fully 3 months in advance in line with our timeline. He then continued to keep us updated for the next 3 months before delivering installation on the requested date. Great job, great help, very professional and very likeable too.

The service, care and professionalism shown by the Flooring Department at Sterling was exceptional, from start to finish.
Steven was our initial point of contact and was very professional and considerate and was a breath of fresh air. Brian, Mark and Dylan were all very helpful and professional. Darren the fitter was also very professional, careful and communicated very well.
