Extremely disappointing customer service, delivery and product quality
I spent £1,999 on a self-build kit which was infact not a self build kit at all and expected professional service, clear communication, quality workmanship and delivery as agreed. Unfortunately, my experience has been extremely disappointing from start to finish.
Before placing the order, I specifically asked whether multicoloured LED lighting was included, as I wanted the option to switch between warm white, cool white and other colours. I was assured that this was included. However, after placing the order and repeatedly chasing for updates, I was told that it would cost an additional £200. This was not what had been agreed before payment.
Communication throughout the process was extremely poor, both with me as the customer and between members of the company’s own staff. I was repeatedly promised callbacks that never happened and received no proactive updates. I had to chase the company for almost every piece of information and one time I phoned up to chase a phone call promised within 10 minutes, I rang after a hour and half of waiting and the lady on the phone said “it’s that customer again” like I was an inconvenience chasing for my order.
The poor communication between staff appears to be the reason the measurements were wrong, resulting in the unit being manufactured to incorrect dimensions. This lack of internal communication is completely unacceptable and should not have affected the product I received.
The delivery process was equally frustrating. The company’s website states delivery within up to seven days, yet I placed my order three weeks in advance and was given a specific delivery date. Despite this, I later discovered that only after contacting the company myself, that delivery was expected the following week. There was no call, explanation or update.
On the delivery date, I had booked the day off work, but still had no clear delivery timeframe. I repeatedly contacted the company via WhatsApp and telephone, trying to find out when my order would arrive. The delivery eventually arrived at the last minute when the driver was on his way home, if I’d of been told this at the beginning then that would have been fine!
Unfortunately, the problems did not end there. Once delivered, I discovered that the unit were incorrect and that the entire unit had been manufactured too short in both height and width with pieces that wasn’t even cut to size so I was expected to cut them myself? I was informed that the incorrect measurements were due to poor communication between the company’s staff, which makes the situation even more disappointing. Internal communication issues should never result in a customer receiving a product that has been made to the wrong specifications.
The kit was also incomplete. It was sold as a self-build kit, but several essential items were missing:
● No stickers were provided to cover the exposed screws.
● The LED lights had been cut, and the connecting lead had also been cleanly cut, apparently leaving me to solder the wiring myself.
● No soldering kit or equipment was supplied.
● No glue was provided for the acoustic panelling.
This is not what I would expect from a complete self-build kit. I should not have to source additional materials, purchase specialist equipment or carry out extra electrical work simply to assemble a product I have already paid nearly £2,000 for.
I contacted the owner to report these issues and was promised a phone call the following morning. That call never happened. I then tried calling several times, but my calls were ignored. When I contacted the office, I was given an explanation about phone signal issues, despite this never having been a problem previously. Owner did eventually ring me back.
What should have been an exciting purchase became a stressful and disappointing experience. I expected a correctly manufactured, complete self-build kit and professional customer service. Instead, I received an incorrectly sized and incomplete product, with missing materials and cut LED wiring, while having to repeatedly chase the company for basic information and support.
The fact that poor communication between staff appears to have caused the incorrect measurements is particularly concerning. Customers should not be expected to pay nearly £2,000 and then suffer the consequences of internal communication failures.
Customer service should not end once payment has been taken. I am extremely disappointed with the product.
Just to also mention, I hate to have to give a bad review as I know mistakes happen but far too many happened with this.
