There were 20 sales staff and three customers in the store—I was the third one. Yet, I ended up waiting 30 minutes; the whole process, from entering the store to leaving with the item, took 50 minute... See more

Duncan, the salesperson in Almere Centrum, was excellent! He understood our issue, worked to resolve it, and found a solution we liked. The delivery arrived during the timeframe he promised it would.

No customer support via chat

I ordered a monitor to a location near my apartment. On the delivery day they said that it needs my signature so it could not be delivered there. Instead, they sent it to a place that is quite far, specially for carrying a large box. I tried to switch it but there is no place where it can be done. I decided to cancel the purchase, but in order to do that I needed to return the product, that I did not receive. I tried to solve it with their customer support. They do not have chat support (besides a useless bot), so I my only alternative was to CALL them, like cave people used to do. After some time finding in my phone where is the phone app, I called them. Waiting time is 20-25 minutes. Kids, always remember, never buy from a website that do not have customer support via chat.

Hi Bruno!

I'm really sorry that there were some problems with the order. We do have a chat support though. There is a possibility that it was switched off for a certain reason because of updates or issues.

Hopefully to still see you back at Coolblue.

Kind regards,
Coolblue

Delivery issue

They sent my expensive laptop via DHL. Instead of having next day delivery, I had “next week” delivery. Courier did not attempt to deliver my laptop, but marked as delivered anyway. I had to contact customer service (they are good though) and I was supposed to get my package on Monday, but since I’m not home 24/7 and I couldn’t choose next delivery date or even a time, DHL sent my laptop to pick up point , in different city! If you want to order something from coolblue, choose a pick up at their store. I don’t know for what they have their own couriers if they don’t use them.

I didn't receive anything.

I ordered a toothbrush attachment. Apparently the order was shipped but I never received anything. I was never able to speak to customer service on the phone. Never Cool Blue again.

Hi Amir,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are sorry to hear that you have not received your toothbrush attachment and that you had difficulties reaching our customer service.

We have checked the delivery information and can see that, according to our system, the courier delivered the package at your address on 23 July at 10:56. Could you perhaps check with your neighbours to see if the package was accepted on your behalf? We also hope that the package has since been found.

Our customer service team is available every day from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM. They are always happy to help you further if needed.

Kind regards,

The Coolblue team

What should have been a simple warranty…

What should have been a simple warranty claim turned into a frustrating and time-consuming experience.

I bought a two-pack of Philips Sonicare toothbrushes, and only one of them developed a fault. Instead of allowing me to return just the defective toothbrush to see if they could repair it, I was told I had to send back the entire pack, including the perfectly working toothbrush. That policy seems unreasonable and creates unnecessary inconvenience for customers.

Trying to arrange the return took the best part of a morning. I had to send two emails, use the online chat twice (the first chat was disconnected before the issue was resolved), and I also tried calling customer service twice. On both occasions, the estimated wait time was over 25 minutes, so I gave up.

In the end, I contacted Philips directly. Their customer service couldn't have been more different; they dispatched a replacement toothbrush within 48 hours with no unnecessary hassle. That experience was vastly better than Coolblue's and, in my view, completely undermines the value of paying extra for Coolblue's extended warranty.

Based on this experience, I won't be purchasing Coolblue's extended warranty protection again, and I'm now much less likely to buy from them in the future. If anything, I think the CEO of Coolblue could learn a thing or two from the CEO of Philips about how customer service should work.

Dear customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are truly sorry to hear about the frustration and inconvenience you experienced with your repair request, as this is certainly not the smooth service we strive to deliver.

Certain products must indeed be returned in their entirety. We do this specifically at the request of manufacturers and to ensure that, in the event a repair is not possible, we can immediately swap the entire set for a brand-new one for you on the spot.

Returns can easily be registered online via our website without needing to reach out first. It grieves us, however, that it was so difficult to get through to our customer service when you tried to contact us, and we sincerely apologize for the long wait times and the disconnected chat.

We are glad to hear that Philips was able to resolve the issue quickly for you in the end, though we regret that we fell short of your expectations this time. We hope to get the opportunity in the future to regain your trust in our service.

Kind regards,

Coolblue

Disappointment

I placed an order for a set of tools. It was not sent for a long time, so a week later I contacted support. It turned out that the product had already been sold the moment I placed the order and paid for it. And no one informed me about it for a week until I contacted them myself and of course they did not want to give me any compensation or discount. I am very disappointed

Hi Denys,

Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry that you were not informed sooner that the product was no longer available. You should indeed have received an update from us, and we understand that it is frustrating to have to contact us yourself to find out what happened.

Something clearly went wrong in our communication, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. We take your feedback seriously and will use it to improve our processes and communication with our customers.

Kind regards,

Offered a pair of headphones for repair… got scammed by coolblue

Offered a pair of headphones for repair under warranty. They are foldable, over ear Sony XM4 headphones, and the hinge is a well known point of failure under normal use conditions. It is an established manufacturing weakness from Sony. Although the headphones are in perfect shape, and they failed when I was not even wearing them, they claim that it was user damage that caused it and ask for an exorbitant amount of money for their return. I only sent them as I was sure they would repair them under warranty, as this repair would cost around ~20EUR with Alibaba parts. Now an otherwise perfect pair is held hostage by a 65EUR return fee or an exorbitant 170EUR repair cost. I could just get the XM5 for that money at some other shops.

Despicable customer service, would never buy from them again.

Hello,

We’re sorry to hear that you weren’t expecting these repair costs. We understand that this isn’t ideal.

The higher repair costs charged by our repair service are, of course, due to the fact that original parts—not sourced from Alibaba—will be used. Additionally, the work is performed for you, and you’re also paying for the labor hours involved.

Of course, I’d be happy to look into this for you to determine whether it’s actually a manufacturing defect. We’ve requested your information for this purpose but haven’t received a response yet.

Best regards,
Coolblue

Laptop out of stock, and when it comes back in stock it's 800 euro more expensive....

I purchased a laptop for 2200 euro. I am informed 2 days later that it's actually out of stock and they refuse to send one from a store to me. The laptop comes back in stock 3 weeks later and they refuse to honor the price that I paid when it was out of stock. In fact, the price went up 800 euros! They offered me 200 off but that's still 600 more than I paid.... If I didn't know better I'd think I was getting scammed!

I have no idea how this company can pride itself on it's service when this is how they operate.

Hi Cole,

Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We understand that it is very disappointing to find out that your order could not be fulfilled and that the price was significantly higher when the product became available again. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

When a product is temporarily unavailable, we unfortunately cannot always guarantee that the price will remain the same when new stock becomes available. Prices can change based on various factors, such as availability and supplier conditions. We understand that the price difference in this case is substantial and that the offered solution did not meet your expectations.

We will take your feedback regarding this experience into account, and we are sorry that we were not able to provide the level of service you expected from us.

Kind regards,
Coolblue
