Do NOT use this website
I would unfortunately not recommend Stooltopia based on my experience.
I placed an order for three benches costing around £600 for my new business and paid extra for express shipping, as the delivery timeframe was important to me. I was originally expecting the order in approximately four weeks.
Instead, I have had to repeatedly chase the company for updates. The delivery has continued to be delayed and, after weeks of uncertainty, I have now been told that my benches are expected to arrive early to mid-November — far beyond the timeframe I was originally expecting and completely unsuitable for my business opening.
I was eventually told that all three benches had been manufactured, but Stooltopia only provided inspection photographs of one bench, explaining that they photographed a single item because all three were the same. I also raised a concern about what appeared to me to be an imperfection/damage visible in their own inspection photograph, which they said was a natural variation in the wood.
I have now asked to cancel the order because of the significant delay. Despite the goods not yet having been dispatched, I have been told that cancellation may be subject to costs because manufacturing and logistics costs have already been incurred.
The most frustrating part has been the lack of a reliable delivery timeframe and the amount of chasing required. Had I been told from the beginning that I could be waiting until November, I would never have placed the order or paid extra for express shipping.
As a small business preparing to open, this has caused me a huge amount of unnecessary stress and disruption.
I am now requesting a full refund and hope this can be resolved promptly.
