Alistair Macmillan,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and taking the time to speak with me earlier.
We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must have been to receive multiple delivery delay notifications after placing your order.
After reviewing your order, we found that the item's availability changed following placement, resulting in revised delivery dates being issued. We appreciate that this was disappointing, particularly as the item appeared available when you placed the order.
We are also sorry that your attempts to cancel the order did not meet your expectations. A return request was raised; however, we acknowledge that communication regarding the return process and updates was not as clear or timely as it should have been. This understandably added to your frustration when trying to resolve the matter.
We value your feedback as it highlights areas where we need to improve both our communication and customer service processes. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

Ms. Sharon Smith,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry for the frustration caused by your order experience.
Having reviewed your order, the quantity was supplied in two deliveries due to stock being held across different locations. Whilst the first shipment was despatched as planned, we are sorry you were advised the remaining balance would arrive the following day and this did not happen. We understand how disappointing and frustrating that must have been.
Please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion and inconvenience. Your feedback has been shared internally to help improve the accuracy of the delivery information we provide to customers.
Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

tr,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are very sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your frustration. Having to spend a significant amount of time trying to make a payment, making multiple contact attempts, and not receiving a timely resolution is not the level of service we aim to provide.
We appreciate how disappointing it must have been to repeatedly chase for assistance with settling your outstanding invoice, only to experience delays in receiving a response. We recognise the inconvenience this caused and regret that your experience has led to your decision to close your account.
Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams and will be used to review our processes and communication between departments to help prevent similar situations for other customers in the future.
We sincerely apologise for the poor experience you received and thank you for bringing the matter to our attention.
Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.
Pretty dumb to review this
Pretty dumb that you're asking for feedback. I ordered a fan that said there were like 40 or 50 in stock but actually it was out of stock so I got my money back. A slightly annoying but overall neutral experience. 3 stars

Dan Hodge,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We're sorry for the disappointment caused. We completely understand your frustration when an item appears to be available to order, only for us to later confirm that the stock is no longer available.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, the supplier's stock was depleted before we could fulfil your order. As soon as this was identified, we contacted you and arranged a full refund.
While we're pleased the refund was processed promptly, we appreciate that this doesn't make up for the inconvenience of placing an order that could not be fulfilled. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve the accuracy of the stock information we provide.
Thank you for your balanced comments, and please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Kind regards
Donna

The only place I found a floor fan in this heatwave, everywhere else was sold out. The delivery was quick and the fan works great. I don’t regret buying it even though summer is nearly over.

Janet Quinn,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Unfortunately, on this occasion, the item you ordered became unavailable due to supplier stock depletion, meaning we were unable to fulfil the order as planned. We appreciate how disappointing this can be, especially after an order has been placed.
As soon as the issue was identified, the order was cancelled and a full refund was processed to the original payment method.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our processes and customer experience.
Kind regards,
Donna

Hi Tina,
Thank you for taking my call today; it was lovely speaking with you and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss what happened with your order.
I’m really sorry for the difficulties you had setting up your account and making the payment online, and for the confusion around stock availability. I completely understand how frustrating it was to be told the item was in stock, finally manage to place the order, expect next‑day delivery, and then receive an email the following day advising the item was unavailable and refunded.
This isn’t the experience we want for any of our customers, and I apologise for the inconvenience this caused.
If there’s anything else you need, please feel free to reply to my email and I’ll be more than happy to help.
Kind regards,
Dave,

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry for the disappointment caused with your recent order.
I have attempted to contact you today to discuss this further but wasn’t able to get in touch, so I’ve sent you an email with more information.
I completely understand your frustration , the item was advertised, you placed the order knowing there would be a delay, and then you were later told it was no longer available. That’s not the experience we want for any of our customers.
If you’d like to talk this through, please feel free to reply to my email and I’ll be happy to help.
Kind regards,
