10/10 Customer Service (Jack)

I just purchased my first Trend power tool - to find that one single accessory screw was missing.
The telephone number for Trend was clearly listed on the back of the instruction manual - no need to hunt around online. After choosing customer services from a menu, the call was answered immediately by Jack - who was polite, friendly and most importantly - extremely helpful. Jack sent me an e-form as promised within moments, and upon returning the form, again within moments, confirmed that a replacement spare part was on it's way - received next day.
Mistakes happen - but how a company deals with them is crucial.
I'm grateful to Jack for his excellent customer service, and grateful for Trend for clearly being a great company.
I will certainly be more likely to choose Trend over other brands as a result of this experience and would encourage others to do the same.

Delivery service from UPs

The service I was given by Trend personnel was excellent but where I became dissatisfied was when I tried to track my package. I contacted trend as i was getting concerned the package was taking longer to arrive than expected. Trend gave me a site to contact which happened to be UPs. UPs did not attempt to deliver to my address but a shop in a nearby town, not even letting me know. I also paid for delivery. POOR SERVICE! GET RID OF UPs.

Disappointing customer service

Purchased a skeleton door hinge jig
Jig was supplied incorrectly manufacturered
Called trend technical, first call I was assured the jig was correct
Second call to technical, he admitted it was incorrect
Arranged a pick up, inspection, then a delivery of new one within a few days which was fair
I asked for a gesture of goodwill for my wasted time on it , point blank refusal, "we don't offer compensation"

I then sent a complaint email to trend customer service and received the same typical answer from a big company, although we admit we were wrong, we're not going to do much about it

I think it's ridiculous, you admitted to selling something not fit for purpose but won't offer a small gesture as an apology
I purchased from screwfix and they did more than trend on the matter
I will always look for alternatives now before buying trend again, very dissapointed

I purchased a trend R/S jig but found the machine tolerance’s to be quite tight. I contacted trend customer service who assisted me with the set up. They offers additional advice on lubrication of tracks and general support.
I found all staff members knowledgeable and approachable, with a genuine desire to help.

Great Technical Support

Had to order a part for my Router, Unfortunately I ordered the wrong part, but after speaking to the Technical department with the aid of a Photo, they told me exactly what part I needed and how to fit it, not often do you find exceptional service nowadays.
The part arrived the next day.
Well done and Thank You.
