Ok equipment, poor company
We arranged to hire some stairwell scaffolding from BestAtHire, and were unfortunately left disappointed by the customer service. You choose a 4 hour time slot to start your hire. Our scaffolding arrived a little late but not too bad, so we didn't say anything. Then it turned out that they had sent a different scaffolding model than advertised on the website - we specifically went with them as it said the platform height could be adjusted in 25cm increments, but that wasn't true of the model we got (which was a different brand). The only instructions provided were minimal, so I googled and printed some off. Again we just got on with it and didn't complain. However when it came to the end of hire period, the driver didn't turn up in the agreed 4 hour period to collect. I phoned the office to enquire the following morning and was told that they don't stick to the pre-arranged end of hire time and will turn up at some point in the 3 days afterwards. They claimed this is in their terms and conditions, but it is not (they probably just don't expect people to read them). They basically expect people to sit around at home all the time waiting for someone to turn up. Now as a busy customer juggling work and a DIY project that really doesn't work, and I had paid for a collection service that they were refusing to stick to. The customer service attitude was poor - all about what would work for them and no consideration for the customer, and no proactive contact to confirm delivery or collection times. I appreciate that sometimes the driver may need to amend a collection time, but at least contact the customer and discuss the options rather than just assuming you can turn up whenever you feel like it. I would strongly suggest ordering from another company who actually cares about their customers.
