Best on the internet

Excellent service, tiles were not only the very best price on the internet, they also arrived promptly, a couple of tiles broken by courier which first4 tiles were more than happy to replace without question. Will definitely be using again and recommending them.

Make sure you order correctly

Ordering was simple and tiles were delivered in tact within days. Excellent! I realised within hours that I had ordered the wrote tiles and so contacted customer services. I contacted customer services by phone, explained the situation and also sent an email. 3 phone calls as and 3 emails later, my tiles were to be collected. It took 7 days for collection at a cost of £55 and I await a refund. This experience has not put me off and I have since ordered the right tiles. I will review when they are received.

Good product but terrible customer service

I have seriously considered whether or not to post this view, as I am aware how difficult it can be to thrive as a smaller business in the current climate. However, our experience with this business has been so poor that I felt the need to share our experience so others may be aware of what they may be getting themselves into.

Please note we have no issue with the product itself, they are good quality tiles, what we do have issue with is the customer service from first4tiles.

Firstly, we visited the Doncaster shop on recommendation of a local tiler we had already booked in to complete our tiling.
We were served by James who was a very helpful and knowledgeable salesman, we agreed to order tiles (the ones we picked were on display in the shop).
We paid £50 extra for delivery - given we had spent well over £1000, we personally felt delivery should have been free as standard.

Delivery arrived on 26/1/23, this was delivered via pallet straight into our garage via the driver, tiles were stacked on top of each other by the driver and none of the tiles were touched until 16/2/23 when our tiler arrived to complete the works.

We were informed by our tiler on 17/2/23 that at least one box of tiles was broken, and could tell this even before opening the boxes as there was obvious movement within the box.

Unfortunately, we had massively under-ordered on the tiles for the size of our space - completely our fault. When placing our second order over the phone on 17/2/23 we also informed first4tiles that we had at least 1x box broken - we were then informed that ‘nothing could be done’ as we had not informed the store within 48hours of delivery, ‘as per policy’. We were never made aware of such policy verbally, at the time it was not published on their website and is also not on either of our receipts.

We have since done some further research around the consumer rights act, which actually stipulates that the customer has the right to reject and return faulty goods within 30 days of receipt, even if the company policy states different.

Our second order was massively delayed - we got a call back within 24hrs of our card being debited to say there was going to be at least a 1 month delay.

First4tiles never informed us of further delays - either ourselves or our tiler had to keep ringing to check the status of our order, which was pushed back multiple times. Told on more than one occasion they would ‘call me back’ and never did, I had to chase them yet again.

After ordering the second batch on 17/2/23, the tiles finally arrived in store on 5/6/23.
We did not opt for delivery again as this was a further £50 charge and we had 2x broken boxes of tiles during the last delivery we paid for, so our tiler kindly agreed to collect them in 2 visits himself.

Unfortunately, our tiler informed us that the within the second lot of tiles he collected on day 2, there was a further box of broken tiles.

As per the policy above, I called first4tiles to let them know of the damaged goods, and was told I could return them for a refund.

I also asked about returning unwanted/unused goods, as we had over-ordered this time due to fear of further breakage prior to use, and also given how long we had to wait for our second batch to arrive.

I was told that because this was a ‘special order’ we could not return any unwanted goods, I was also told this information would be on our receipts. First4tiles website stipulates that ‘customised or personalised’ products cannot be returned if unwanted - I would argue that our product was neither as it was ordered based on a sample product that was displayed in the shop itself, we did not ask for the tiles to be custom-made or personalised in any way.

After this phone conversation, I checked our receipts myself and there was no mention of this product being a ‘special order’, instead it clearly stated at the bottom of the receipt that any unused full boxes could be returned within 56 days of receipt for a refund.

I drove to first4tiles myself the next day to return 1x unused/unopened box of tiles and the 1x broken box mentioned as above. The broken box was refused for refund as the staff member informed me that the box ‘must have been dropped/had something dropped on it’ and did not leave the warehouse broken - basically a ‘his word against his’ situation between first4tiles and our tiler. Unused box was accepted very begrudgingly after I showed him the receipt with no information regarding a ‘special order’ as suggested.

I asked why we had been giving misleading and information that is not in line with consumer rights, with regards to our previous 2x broken boxes. The staff member advised we would need to take this up to the other staff member who gave us this untrue information previously, and would expect a call to discuss the following week - no such phone call was ever made.

Dear Rachael,

I'm sorry to hear that you felt compelled to write such a negative review, especially since it's the second one, as your partner has already written one previously. As a small family firm, we take great pride in our service and relationships with our customers. As the owner, I wanted to personally address this particularly strong review because we genuinely care about our customers and don't want to appear indifferent.

Let me address each of your points in turn:

1) Regarding your special order placed in January, please understand that we don't directly import these tiles; they come from a distributor. There's a specific time limit for checking goods and reporting damages, and unfortunately, your report was received beyond that limit. (In fact, by your partners admission, it took several weeks to come back to us and report the damages). However, we do accept that this could have been made clearer at the point of purchase and noted on your receipt. This is an issue we have since addressed and put into place.

2) We did inform you that the purchased tiles were special order and non-returnable. Nevertheless, we did refund a box since this information was not explicitly stated on your receipt. This is an issue we have since addressed and put into place.

3) It seems there was a measurement issue with your original order on your side, and it was significantly under what you required. We re-ordered the tiles for you from our distributor and in good faith provided a date of arrival from the manufacturer in the far east. We understand that you were eager to receive the order, but unfortunately given the nature of importing bulky and fragile goods from the other side of the globe, this arrival could not be affected by the number of phone calls or stamping of feet. We informed you as soon as the tiles arrived and made them available for collection.

4) With regards to terms and conditions that your partner and yourself have been quoting; please note that these have been written and are explicitly for purchases made through our website, as long distance selling transactions are governed by a very different set of consumer laws. However, I would just like to point out that information regarding reporting of damages is noted in our website terms. Twice and in bold text. It would seem to me to be a case of picking out what you like or want to see.

Regarding the second batch of tiles, our experienced team checked each box individually while putting them into your tiler's van when he picked them up from our store in Doncaster. This careful process allowed us to confirm that the tiles were in perfect condition when they left our premises. The tiler would also have noticed any damage during this process, as broken tiles make a distinct crunching sound when handled. It's unfortunate that the damage may have occurred during transit to your house or during the installation process. We always strive to provide the best service and ensure that our products leave our store in excellent condition, and we can confirm this was the case in this situation

We genuinely value all reviews, and we don't fabricate positive ones. We are a small business, trying to offer something different, and we don't take slander and unfairness lightly. We regret that both you and your partner had to write two negative reviews. We hope that our customers can see both sides of this dispute, and we ask other retailers to take note of the specific details.

In light of the circumstances, we believe it's best for your future tiling needs to be satisfied elsewhere. We wish you many years of enjoyment with the tiles you purchased.

Sincerely,

Andy Morrison, Owner

Amazing customer service!

Absolutely cannot fault the experience I had with First4tiles! Spoke to Andy on the phone about what I wanted, he was really helpful and certainly went the extra mile to make sure I was completely happy. His communication was exceptional. The tiles we purchased are stunning, reasonably priced with fast, careful delivery. I can totally recommend and will definitely use them again if I need tiles.

Broken tiles with no refunds

Multiple packs of tiles were delivered broken and we were refused a return as apparently taking longer than 48 hours to check 22 packs of tiles (ontop of each other) is unreasonable. This rule was not made clear on our initial order. Also had considerable delays getting stock and multiple promised phone calls which never happened. Tiles were decent quality but can't recommend due to poor customer service.

I absolutely love the tiles- exactly…

I absolutely love the tiles- exactly what I wanted- and a great price- however the delivery of them was awful… and non existent. The 18 tonne lorry couldn’t get to me because of parked cars…. Not my cars btw!
I had a long email conversation with the Tiles co. And I did say it wasn’t my fault about the cars. ( I do get deliveries from Sydenhams Builders so I know for sure that large lorries can make it to me)
I was told a second delivery attempt would cost me an additional £25 and that might not make it to me either….or I could go and collect them from from my nearest depot.
The tiles would be there for collection but for a limited number of days. As I was off on holiday within 5 days- I chose to collect the tiles myself, taking the day off work and driving 2 hour round trip for the collection.
There were about 8 small boxes of tiles- enough for 4 square metres of wall…. Not really an 18 tonne lorry load.
Product lovely but after service- could have been better.

Hi Lisa

We're sorry that you were not happy with your experience, this is a rare occurrence for us.

Tiles are heavy, bulky and fragile and as such mostly need a palletised delivery service.

We use a third party haulier to deliver the majority of our orders. Across the haulage industry, palletised deliveries are pretty much always made using an 18 tonne lorry or larger due to needing to hold many, possibly bulky, pallets for other customers and companies on that day or delivery run. These vehicles also need a tail-lift to get the pallets down to the ground without having to be split and handled manually.

Customers are advised that their address needs to be accessible by such a vehicle, and are also advised that a re-delivery charge may apply, if for any reason beyond our control, the delivery cannot be made.

Whilst I understand that the parked cars were not your fault, nor where they ours, or that of our delivery partner. The driver did try to contact you to try and resolve the issue at the time but unfortunately could not get through to the number you provided.

As discussed, when you placed your order online, you selected the small parcel charge which is significantly less than the pallet delivery charge that was needed for this order. On this occasion we honoured this for you and absorbed the additional cost ourselves. Therefore we were unable to also absorb the re-delivery charge, but we did offer to discount it for you as a gesture of good will.

With regards to your comments about the size of the vehicle, as we explained in our emails a smaller vehicle would have been possible but at a higher cost as it is a more bespoke delivery and is therefore not as efficient for the haulier. You declined this option in favour of collecting the order from the depot.

Points regarding delivery are made very clear on our delivery information page and terms and conditions page. Customers need to tick a box in the checkout page to state that they understand this when they go to make their payment. It is again reiterated on the proceeding despatch and tracking email.

We are always happy to work with customers regarding challenging delivery addresses if communicated at the time of order and before it is despatched.

Kind regards
first4tiles
