Thank you for taking the time to share your review, we truly value your feedback.
We’re delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying your recliner chair, and that Peter and Julie delivered another excellent experience in store. We’ll be sure to pass on your kind words to them.
We also appreciate your comments about the chair’s design, particularly regarding the arm height and remote control storage. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable and will be shared with our team. Many of our chairs include a side pocket or a loop under the arm to help keep the remote secure, and your input helps us continue to improve.
That said, we’re very sorry to hear about your delivery experience. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how disappointing it must have been not to receive a proper demonstration or support on the day. Your feedback will be passed on to our delivery team so we can address and improve this moving forward.
If you would still like any guidance on using your chair, please don’t hesitate to get in touch, we’d be more than happy to help. You can email us at support@ableworld.co.uk
Thank you again for your honest feedback.
Take care,

Went to view a mobility scooter to hire and …
Ok went to look at a scooter that was available to hire over Easter so the wife could join me out and about as at the moment her mobility is severely limited and she ends up waiting for me in the car so I end up not seeing things that I want to see hence the wish to hire a scooter due to wanting to visit beamish museum. That’s the background of the visit that I hope will help explain the review. Quality of life for us both not just the wife was going downhill and I really didn’t want to get to Beamish for her to say no she doesn’t want to hire a scooter as she has been fighting against the idea of using one for at least 2 years. We were looked after and I mean LOOKED AFTER by Andrea and Julie. We were introduced to and the she had a test drive of the scooter that was for hire and the penny finally dropped that a scooter at this moment is a requirement. So at this point it’s now turning to buy not hire. So now Andrea and Julie are helping with their knowledge of what suits our requirements out of a very good selection of choice and she has a drive of a few others that are for sale not hire. It’s at this point the Mrs has a bit of a moment at the realization that she can’t go on fighting against her needs and that a mobility aid such as a scooter is a requirement to improve both of our quality of life. Due to this moment they sat her down and sorted her out and made her a cup of tea reassured her and and gave her time to compose herself. She is now the proud owner of a scooter and i know that’s going to to make a dramatic difference to us getting out and about. So thank you Andrea and Julie for your help your compassion and your understanding and support today

Julie and Peter are stars.
We've been trying to get a recliner armchair that would fulfil my needs for a while and actually bought a Lazyboy suite that was supposed to be chiropractor recommended but was eventually just making things worse. We went into Ableworld in Wigan hoping they could help and they were marvellous, within minutes Julie had found the perfect match for my back support. All the differing positions of what I needed moved independently supporting me in all the right areas, the colour we wanted wasn't in stock and they said it would take 2 weeks to be delivered. 1 week later they rang to say it was ready. the chair was delivered yesterday and it is magnificent. Fits me like a glove.
Julie and Peter couldn't have done more for us. While Julie was showing me different chairs and discovering what I really needed, Peter was busy phoning people to get the chair on order and get one on the way as soon as possible. They really helped to make us feel welcome and showed how the main point of focus was to fulfil our needs.

Dear Mr Mcknight
Firstly, thank you for your review. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience resulted in a 1-star rating.
After speaking with our Internet Sales Manager, we can confirm that some online orders were delayed due to operational changes following the merger of Royal Mail and Parcel Force. While both brands continue to operate separately from a customer perspective, they now share a unified infrastructure. Unfortunately, the timing of your order meant it was affected by these disruptions.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and understand your frustration. We are actively working to ensure our delivery processes remain reliable and timely moving forward, and we hope to provide you with a much improved experience in the future.
We truly value all feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us improve and continue delivering the best possible service to our customers.

Excellent Customer Service
My walker had a broken seat that made it unsafe. Unsure if it could be fixed/replaced it, Lloyd preserved with it and manage to get the old one off and replace it with a spare they had in store. We have had previous help and never make us feel like a burden, always providing help where they can cheerfully. Very grateful it was able to be fixed while in store as I rely on my walker. Fantastic customer service as always.

Great knowledgeable service
Went into the wigan store looking for a wheeled walker as I'm quite unstable when walking outdoors. Julie helped me choose the right one and demonstrated how to use it. She then showed me a cushion for my recliner chair which is so comfortable and taken away the pain in my lower back when I sit. Peter and Julie where very friendly and engaging and we had a lovely chat and shared stories. I am so pleased with my purchases and the service. No hard selling or pressure to buy other things. Very knowledgeable too.Julie even put the walker into my car for me. I will be back if I need anything and recommend anyone to go there should they need help with mobility aids.

Do NOT buy from this company!
I would strongly urge against buying anything of high value from this company!
I bought a riser recliner for £1100 on 3rd October which was delivered to me on 17th October.
I was given a short demonstration once it had been assembled and all seemed fine. However, within a day or so we noticed that there was starting to be a smell coming from the chair similar to stagnant water. The smell became stronger as time went on and so I contacted Ableworld to ask if something could be done.
A manager was sent out to inspect the chair. He arrived and acknowledged he could smell something and so checked it over to make sure it wasn’t a mechanical/electrical smell. He confirmed that it wasn’t and said he would submit a report.
I received a very terse response from Ableworld Head Office saying that the manager had been unable to detect a smell and that therefore they deemed the chair to be working as it should be with no faults!
I am now left with a very expensive, smelly ornament in the corner of my living room. The chair STILL smells and when you sit on it you get a waft of stagnant water.
But apparently that is an acceptable condition to sell a chair in even if it costs £1100.
It seems it’s their word against mine even though I I have to live with this smelly piece of furniture, my opinion is worthless. As a disabled person equipment is expensive and losing money like this really hits hard so to be treated with such contempt by Ableworld is really distressing. If I was able to get rid of this chair I’d have to lose in the region of £800 minimum by selling on eBay and am not in a position to kiss goodbye to that amount of money!
Really VERY disappointed in Ableworld. Most definitely. Won’t be buying from them again and will be advising others not to also.

Dear Claire,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
We understand that you have been in contact with the store Director, who has explained the reasons for the engineer call-out charge. Stairlift batteries can naturally deplete if they are not being charged, and we understand this was the cause in your case, which is why the charge was applied.
We provide clear and consistent guidance on charging. We remind all customers that their stairlift provides a constant trickle charge to the batteries and must remain plugged in at all times to maintain the batteries.
We genuinely appreciate all feedback, both positive and constructive, as it helps us improve and continue delivering the best possible experience for our customers. If you require further information on stairlift maintenance, please visit our website or contact our customer service team, who will be happy to assist.
