Shoddy customer service
Ordered bulky item on-line through B&Q. No option on delivery date was given, and when order was completed, delivery timescale was given as the following day or the day after.
My carpenter was due to fit it 10-days after I’d placed the order, so within 10-minutes of ordering, I contacted them using the link provided - this was shortly after 4pm. At 5:30pm, I received a message telling me that the item was already loaded and it was too late to change. I pointed out that the situation was a result of their failure to act on customer messages, and asked them to treat this as a complaint, escalate and reconsider.
I received an apology from the same contact centre agent, that they were unable to do anything. Very shoddy.
So I had to live with it until the carpenter arrived.
It gets worse though - the item is faulty. It was fitted correctly and to the manufacturer’s instructions. Indeed the faulty part came pre-assembled, so not down to carpenter.
It will have to be de-installed and a replacement re-installed, all of which is chargeable.
Wish me luck!
