Dewalt Saw Guard, waiting 2 months….

Ordered a saw guard in September and it finally arrived today, over 2 months later. After a few weeks I rang and they said it had been shipped but they would send another. Not sure if it was back order or if it had actually been sent out and lost but I can now use the machine without losing any fingers

Quick delivery

I've repaired a good few DeWalt tools and always get my spare parts from MTMC. So far, everything has been delivered to me super quick.

Needed a repair for my Dewalt drill on its warrenty. From start to finish Karen and her staff took control of this time sensitive problem and arranged pickup and delivery. Isn't it great when people actually do their jobs! Thank you!

Absolutely disgraceful service.....

Absolutely disgraceful service.....if you can call failure to supply products ordered a service at all....

Ordered some parts for Hitachi skill saw and 3 weeks later received an email saying items were on back order, new ETA was another 3 weeks time....ok, I'll wait...... 4 weeks later I contacted them and got a reply stating a further delay of another 2 weeks, 2 more weeks later (I'm patient guy) I got another reply AGAIN a generic reply stating yet ANOTHER delay of 2 weeks!!!!
Sent them a reply asking for a human to reply and not fob me off again.......you guessed it.....no reply!!!!!

Have requested a refund via my bank, was issued a reply same day by my bank ......

Unbelievable

I rarely submit reviews on purchases but in the case of Miles Tool & Machinery Centre it is necessary.

My order for a replacement Hitachi drill chuck and a left hand special screw costing £40.48 was placed on 9/4/24 and nearly five months later the order was still unfulfilled and so was cancelled on 3/9/24 by me.

I have never experienced such incredible incompetence with poor service, virtually no communication, lots of excuses and feel I was just strung along for all this time. Oh and it now transpires outrageous pricing.

This is all confirmed by me placing exactly the same order with another company costing £26.97 (50% less) on 3/9/24 and delivered on 12/9/24. The new chuck and screw have been fitted into my old Hitachi Drill and all works fine.

I have read many reports/reviews on Miles Tool & Machinery Centre online expressing exactly the same sentiments as myself so can’t understand why they operate in this way and how they manage to remain in business.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the service I have received regarding my order #505136, placed on February 24th. The order was for a spare part for a Mafell saw.

Despite being informed initially that the part would be shipped soon, I have now been waiting for five months without receiving the item. Additionally, several emails sent inquiring about the status of my order have gone unanswered.

This lack of communication and service is unacceptable. I feel as though I have been cheated out of my money.

I demand an immediate refund to my account. This situation has caused me significant inconvenience, and I expect prompt resolution.
Feel free to adjust any details as necessary.

Not impressed

Placed an order on 7th May. Still waiting for it.

Very poor service

Very poor service, took over two months to receive my order. If I hadn’t chased it up myself I’d have never heard from them. Constant lies when calling to find out status, every time I was told it would be next week, this went on for four weeks. Would NOT recommend
