Horrendous experience

Horrendous experience. Waiting 3 months for delivery and emails are completely ignored! Seems that the company has gone out of business, so I won't be seeing my parcel...

Dreadful service

Dreadful service. Website states 2-7 w/days for delivery to EU, and it has taken 6 weeks to complete the order, as the first delivery had items missing. First delivery was also delayed. Sent numerous emails for updates. Their responses were unapologetic and unhelpful, and were always full of excuses for the delay. Numerous requests for a refund on the delivery charge due to these delays were ignored. Would definitely not recommend.

I'm All Lit Up

I first ordered a couple of items so I could judge their quality which was so good I have placed orders a few times. As for customer service - excellent extremely helpful and good advice on what to purchase when I didn't really know what I was talking about - intermediate switches 🤔

They look so stylish, everybody comments on them saying how modern and lovely they are . I am so very pleased with them .so happy .

Excellent website and quick delivery

Although I haven’t yet had my switches and sockets fitted I can’t fault this company on its range of choices , easy ordering and quick delivery . I’ve just moved house and intend changing all sockets and switches and don’t see any need to shop elsewhere .

Rude - unhelpful - deceitful

Purchase 3 x trendi sockets. Couple of days after paying electrician to fit I get a call to say there is a recall. I am fine with this and am told they would send me temporary replacement sockets, which after a lot of chasing them I ended up getting nearly 2 weeks later. In the meantime I received an electric shock that shot me across to wall behind me! I was promised this company would cover all out of pocket costs. They haven’t. They got back the recalls and will only pay back for 1 electrician visit. I am fully aware I should pay for 1 visit - as this is what I’d have paid with no recall - but the electrician has had to come out to me 3 times and I have had to pay for 2 of them and this store just 1. 2 out of the 3 electrician visits were due to the outcome of the recall. The staff - especially Amy - were not helpful, were rude and played dumb I that they couldn’t understand what I was saying and why they are liable for 2 costs. They made remarks to the affect that I was lying about what was verbally told to me about reimbursing and tooted and blowed at me while I tried to put it in simple terms. Not a way to treat customers
AND AFTER RECEIVING A MESSAGE TO CONTACT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM, I DID AND I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED. THEY HAVE REFUNDED THE COST OF THE PLUGS ONLY AND NOT THE COST I RECEIVED GETTING THE PLUGS TAKEN OFF, SO THEY CAN HAVE THEM BACK AS PART OF THEIR RECALL. AVOID

Excellent Customer Service

I received excellent service from this company. Prior to my order I had some questions and they replied to my emailed query swiftly and efficiently. I was able to place my order as a result. Ordering online was easy and quick, I was relieved that unlike some GB companies The Internet Electrical Store delivers to Northern Ireland and the delivery was quick! All items packaged securely. Very happy to recommend this company and would use again.

Can't fault this company. Excellent, well priced, good quality products. Supreme service, good communications.
I ordered some light switches from them but unfortunately ordered 1 of them in the wrong colour. I let them know by email that I had cocked up but they replaced the incorrect switch free of charge despite it being my error.

Shocking

Shocking. Returned goods on 1st March and still no refund. Several emails later no response. Contacted my credit card company who forced them to contact me, they said they would refund, still nothing as of 8th May! AVOID!
