Poor response times

The lady i spoke to was lovely, but i've had no response to emails and the follow up to receive a return note from a colleague never happened. They are short staffed and service is poor.

Very poor

I see i'm not the only one experiencing issues, I ordered a Kress Robotic Lawnmower on the 26th of june, the order status has been 'processing' since the following Monday, I've emailed 3 times, no reply, Rang twice, no one answers. Shocking, would not recomend.
Now i have the hassle of getting a refund.

We're very sorry to hear about your experience Lee and apologise for the frustration caused by the delay and difficulty you've had contacting us.

This is an exceptionally busy time of year for us, which has unfortunately resulted in longer response times than we would normally expect. While this isn't the level of service we aim to provide, we understand how disappointing this must have been.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused,

Terrible service

I called this morning (Friday 26th June) regarding an order for a Kress lawnmower that I placed on 15th June. I was informed by the person I spoke to that he will double check that item was in the warehouse and will call me back.

I received no call or email.

It is absolutely ridiculous that the item has still not been dispatched.

As such I will cancel the order and request a refund

Useless

Useless. I ordered a mower. Week later it still wasn't dispatched. Rang up to ask what happened. Had phone put down on me. Emailed them and said cancel it monday. 3 days later had confirmation. Wasted 2 weeks of my life with these jokers
Rang them again today to double check it was a refund and not store credit. Put phone down on me again. No problem. Lost my business. I wouldn't use these if they were free

We're sorry to hear that your experience with us didn't meet your expectations Mike.

Firstly, we'd like to apologise for the delay with your order. At this time of year we experience an exceptionally high volume of orders, which can unfortunately result in longer dispatch times than usual. We appreciate that this is frustrating and understand your decision to cancel.

We would also like to address your comments regarding the phone calls, deliberately putting the phone down on customers is simply not something we do.

Sorry again for any inconvenience caused,

The pre delivery service was good but after receiving my mower a fault occured within 48hrs of delivery but when trying to get assistance on how to get any information or help good luck.
Told they will contact you but this never happens you either sort other help or you are stuck with the item that does'nt work properly. Use a local face to face dealer and do not get burnt by this company.

We're sorry to hear you've had this experience Terry and that a fault developed with your mower so soon after delivery.

This is our busiest time of year, and while our workshop is currently dealing with a very high volume of enquiries, we want to reassure you that we do not ignore our customers. Every support request is logged and responded to in the order it is received, and we will always work to resolve any genuine warranty issues as quickly as possible.

We apologise for the delay and the frustration this has caused.

Honestly I bought Stiga 748 SE from tools today.Due to the cartoon instruction manual provided by Stiga I never knew about the key to go in electrical starter .I kicked off as I could not start it . Eventually through expertise at Tools Today it got resolved and machine is great. I apologise to Tools Today but I really think that Stiga need to sort out the instruction manual and put words to their cartoons . Great delivery and really helpful. Again I apologise to hassle I gave Tools Today . Thoroughly recommend this company.
