Arco continue to change my Manchester…
Arco continue to change my Manchester area manager contact and catchment area for this contact, very high turnover of staff at this level with no direct contact from Arco as a company when the people in these positions leave the company.
Only recently my area contact has left the company without a replacement introducing themselves or offering any assistance if needed.
Service from Arco has been suffering terribly for a couple of years and I'm actively seeking an alternative supplier.

Hi Jason,
I'm so sorry to hear that you have been subject to changing account owners. Unfortunately we cannot always predict when staff will leave the business, but will always try to assign experienced replacements as soon as possible.
Please know, I have highlighted your concerns to the regional sales manager for Manchester, who will ensure you receive a call from a 'cover' account owner, as soon as possible.
We are actively recruiting for a replacement account manager for your area, and as soon as they are in place and up to speed, they will be in touch to introduce themselves.
In the meantime, our customer service team are more than happy to help with any enquiries you have, or in the event of any issues, please don't hesitate to contact our complaints team.
Kind regards,
Luke Hilleard - Customer Insight Manager
Good selection of products but pricey
Good selection of products, fast delivery but the prices are a bit steep. Safety foot ware range lacking options at lower price range.

Simple to order delivery very quick. Arco essential T-shirts are very good quality, they don't loose shape or shrink even in the dryer. They also last for ages

Superb customer service. Easy to use and set up an account and very nice friendly staff when they contacted me about my order and to see if there was any more they could have done. Have recommended them to many people within my business and other contacts.

Usually 5 stars but this time not so…
Usually 5 stars but this time not so great. Placed my order and paid. Waited a few days but nothing arrived. Usually they’re very efficient and everything arrives next day. Called to ask if there was a problem and was informed that the payment hadn’t gone through. Very confusing as I approved the payment on my banking app and was given a confirmation. Disappointing that no one from Arco called to say there was a problem with payment. Hopefully just a one off as they’re usually very good.

Easy ordering of our branded workwear
I always use my local Arco store for re-ordering our branded workwear. Great staff who are very helpful and knowledgeable and make the ordering process very easy. The goods always arrive promptly and never any issues with the quality or embroidery.

Aftersales is non existent
Aftersales is non existent - deliveries don't turn up & emails are ignored. But at the same time, we keep receiving phone calls touting for new orders!!
They need to get their priorities straight & communicate with customers, particular if they can't meet promised delivery dates.
Please see all the other one star reviews - it appears to be a common problem.

Hi Claire,
Thanks for the review, though I am so sorry to hear of this bad experience!
If possible, please could you send us some detail (email address, date of email) to complaints@arco.co.uk, and we will investigate as a priority?
I am very keen to investigate this, to understand why you have not received an email response and to help progress any back orders.
Thanks,

I see there are some mixed reviews here but my experience with Arco has been good. I receive the email offers and I usually go to the Sutton Coldfield shop on my way back from a site. The shop is great and the staff very helpful. They have a great range and its all good quality stuff. The prices aren't the absolute cheapest but to my mind you get what you pay for. Also they run special offers with manufacturers and these are genuinely cheaper than available elsewhere.
