Still waiting for my refund - very bad experience

Such awful customer experience.

Ordered dishwasher in April, I chased up delivery 3 wks later to discover they couldn’t deliver until July….. I therefore asked for a refund… I’m still waiting for my money back in mid-June! No one picks up the phone and empty promises via email.

Please refund my money!

Hi Ruth,

We're sorry that you have been waiting a couple of months for your dishwasher - your product was part of a long line of items which were delayed in getting into our warehouse as a result of shipping delays caused by Brexit & Covid.

Regarding your refund: please do feel free to call in to get an update on yours. Alternatively please email our customer care team & they be happy to help you.

Best wishes,

I placed an order for chest freezer I was told I will revive it in a months time. After 4 weeks I called numerous times I was told order not here there has been a delay. Then order here you will receive an email for delivery. After 6/7 weeks I asked to cancel my order and for a refund. It has been 3 weeks and still not received my money back! I call them they apologised said someone will get back to you no one ever did. Now I call it automatically goes to answer phone saying they have a high volume of calls email them. I’m not surprised as such disgusting service or shall I say no goods. I have now emailed and I got a response that I will get my refund in 3 to 5 days but I doubt I will. I’m not giving them my hard earned money I will fight.
I will urge people do not purchase anything from them you will not get your goods and they will try there best not to refund you!!!

Hi Nahziyah,

It sounds quite an unfortunate series of events you've been through with your order - and we're truly sorry about that.

The chest freezer which you ordered was part of a long line of products which were delayed getting into our warehouse due to both Brexit & Covid - issues out of our control. We know you were looking forward to getting your chest freezer too which pains us just as much as it pains you.

We've received your refund request and will action it as soon as our team can do. We'll keep you up-to-date with it, so keep checking your emails.

All the best,

Wish I had read the reviews before…

Wish I had read the reviews before ordering. Ordered chest freezer in march, was told various dates for delivery but still waiting. Tried phoning today, no answer could leave message or email, I've done both but not holding out much hope. Blaming Brexit and covid is a poor excuse!!!

Thank you for your reply but we received an update telling us the freezer was in warehouse and waiting quarantine due to covid. Then another update saying it will be delivered in may, but still waiting. If it wasnt in stock due to covid as you have just pointed out why was we told it was waiting to be delivered. Just another excuse. The latest is we'll have a delivery date in 48hrs. I'm not holding my breath but will update in 48hrs!!!

6 days later and still no freezer, was told we'd have delivery date soon. Been back in touch and now have guaranteed delivery in 10 days!!

Hi Amanda, hope you're well?

I've just checked our systems and can see that you ordered one of our signature KG chest freezers back at the end of March.

First of all, we'd like to offer our apologies for the delay in your order. Like other big retailers this line of products has been put back in coming into our warehouse. Please do bear in mind this is far from an 'excuse' as it's a widespread issue in the retail industry which is simply out of our hands unfortunately.

Regardless of these issues it hurts us to see a customer such as yourself being left disappointed. We're very sorry that you have been waiting longer than expected for your home appliance and hope you can forgive us for matters beyond our reach.

Please do feel free to give our team a call for an update on your order. We would be happy to offer a goodwill gesture to you also Amanda.

Have a lovely day,

Horrendous!

This company pursued me for my order and now do not take phone calls or reply to emails. They owe me a significant amount of money and legal action appears to be my only option.

Terrible

It really does take a lot to get me to write a bad review, especially when I know first hand the impact COVID has had on companies and staffing over the last year..but I am absolutley fed up with chasing this company and cannot see how it can take 2 months to process a straightforward refund. Even if you had to issue 50 refunds a day, it can't take that long to review the request, approve if appropriate and transfer the funds. In my case this should have been super simple as my order was just cancelled and didn't involve having to wait for items to be returned nor did it involve any sort of dispute over payments or anything like that. It was just a cancellation!

I ordered a fridge freezer in early April and on the website it stated it would be special order from the manuafacturer and could take up to 14 days - so I expected a slight delay. However, after taking my money and sending a confirmation email, I heard nothing. I called to find out the expected delivery date, thinking it would be end of April/even early May perhaps - but no, it was scheduled for JUNE!!! Obviously this was useless to me - and it would have been nice if they actually communicated that huge delay to me rather than me having to call them to find out myself..

I was disappointed, but again, with COVID and Brexit, I was sympathetic to the issue and just asked for a refund. Even this was convoluted. Rather than just request the refund on my order there and then, the (very nice) person on the phone explained I have to email the cancellations team directly to request the refund that way...which seemed unecessarily longwinded but ok, fine. So I request the refund and get an automated response saying 'please allow 5 working days for it to be processed'. Fair enough I think, and get on with sourcing an alternative appliance from elsewhere. Over 5 working days later..no refund. So I email again and get another automated response, this time stating it may take up to 14 working days.... My sympathetic (aka mug) hat still on...I think I'm sure they're short staffed and that's why I've not been processed yet, and now they've changed their email, so they are aware etc...so again, I wait. After a further 14 working days, guess what...yep, still no refund!! This time I call again and was told I am definitely listed for a refund and it should be processed by Friday..sigh, nope. Called again, 'we have staff shortages but I will escalate to the team to get it done asap'...weeks later, still nothing. It has now been 2 months since requesting a simple refund. Totally unacceptable.

I have seen other people on here have had the exact same experience and am appalled to hear some have been told to seek the refund via their bank/credit card company because 'it is more secure'- absolute twaddle. You can issue the refund to the card used to purchase it, just like every other (legit) company does! Why would you want us to get the bank involved unless you already know you have no intention of refunding anyone?

I really have been sympathetic to issues they may have with suppliers and staffing and I have been understanding and patient waiting for my refund, but even I have a limit. Communication has been non-existent and you cannot get hold of the cancellation team directly, just via the email, which only gives an automated response and nobody actually replies. Everyone I have spoken to via the Customer Care telephone number has been kind and understanding, but have been unable to offer any sort of resolution - either because they genuinely haven't got a clue themselves on how it can take 2 MONTHS!!, or just don't have the authority to do anything about it. Either way it seems a really unfair position to put them in knowing the amount of angry and ripped off customers they will encounter given how this company seems to treat it's customers.

I hate having to leave this review, and I always try to see the reasons behind things and give the benefit of the doubt, but I am now feeling royally ripped off. I don't want an explaination, I don't even want an apology, just give me my refund!!

Do NOT trust this company

Do NOT trust this company. I ordered a freezer on 28th March to be delivered week commencing 19th April, then they had courier issues and given another date. No delivery, they then said it was in a container. From then they ignore my calls and emails. They have had my money for 3 months. I believe this company is a fraud. Go with a trusted brand.

Hi Dawn,

Firstly we would like to apologise for the delay in the delivery of your chest freezer - the one which you ordered (one of our flagship KG ones) had been delayed in getting into our warehouse initially due to transportation issues caused by both Brexit & the Covid Pandemic. And then as you've correctly stated we had issues with our courier.

In addition, we'd like to assure anyone reading this review board as well as yourself that we are certainly not a 'scam' company - which can be seen on our positive reviews and the fact we are a registered business with a proven track record of success.

If you'd like to chase the status of your refund please do give our customer care team a call or drop them an email - they'd be happy to assist you.

In the process of taking these people…

In the process of taking these people to court as no reason to why they won’t give me my money back when I cancelled. This will hopefully learn them a big lesson as will now cost them a lot more than a refund. I won’t let these people scam me. I’ll let you all know the outcome when sued. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE. ID RATHER PAY DOUBLE THE PRICE THAN USE THIS COMPANY

Hi Marieyvette,

Thank you for your positive review. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with ordering from us!

With regards to your 5 weeks extra wait for delivery, we're really sorry it took longer than expected to get your fridge freezer - no one likes waiting longer than was advised in the first place.

Lose your money or dont have your goods you decide

Ordered a fridge freezer in February 2021 told we would have to wait a bit for the fridge to come in stock , then it was on it's way to us , then it was lost on way to be delivered , then we was waiting for it to come back in stock .... we went on to cancel it in April after being fed alot of lies .... after several emails with account details for the refund followed by several phone calls and promises of our money back in that week , I am being told they no longer issue refunds using bacs as its insecure .... I am told their CEO has decided this yesterday and if anyone wants refunds now they must go to their own bank and get them to retrieve it !!!!

This is clearly a company with it's back to the wall who's only care is keeping money in there own pocket and the customer really doesnt matter

Appalling company

In reply to your comments below , yes you fed lies throughout promising refunds by certain dates which never happened leaving it run on till the 110th day knowing that's the deadline to claim back on your credit card .... the fridge was even on tracker out for delivery upto 10 miles of our property and didnt show

Hi Mr Masterson,

After reading your series of unfortunate events involved in the ordering process of your fridge freezer we apologise for the inconvenience caused by such issues. We can however assure you that we never lied to you; a fairly large line of products that we had due into our warehouse around the time you ordered yours were delayed as a result of Covid, Brexit and then eventually problems with our courier.

We have advised customers such as yourself to claim a chargeback through your bank as this is the safest, quickest and most secure method of obtaining your refund. Please rest assured that your monies will be returned to you within 72 hours after speaking with them.

With kind regards,

Still fobbed off…

I wrote a review about a week ago detailing the non delivery of a freezer. The answer was apologetic and pleased that I had received my refund. Don't be fooled I still have heard NOTHING about a refund and the claim remains with my credit card company in an atttempt to recover my stolen money. The customer services department, and I use the term cautiously, are out of touch with what's happening or just print lies, I@ll leave you to decide.

I recommend appliance group

I have used the appliance group 3 times now and find them to be cheaper, great products and great costumer service. They give you an actual time slot for delivery (not the usual 7-7 vague slot) and you can see where they are on the app. The delivery guys were very helpful. Would recommend

No refund after 7 weeks.

Ordered a washing machine in Feb. Was told in April it was delayed. Cancelled the item and bought elsewhere. Asked for a refund in April. For the last 7 weeks I’ve been told weekly it will be in my account by ‘X’ date and it’s never happened. 7 weeks after canceling my order I’m still down with no money. Stay away from this company.

Hi there,

We're really sorry we could not get your washing machine delivered to you on time. We pride ourselves in exceptional service for our customers and when we don't deliver on that it's just as painful for us as it is for you.

A fairly large line of our stock has been delayed in reaching our warehouse due to transportation & shipping issues caused by Covid & Brexit which is the reason your washer did not arrive to you on time.

With regards to your refund, we've been operating at reduced staffing levels in our offices recently due to illness around our office, so we can only apologise for the delay in receiving your refund. Please rest assured that our team are working tirelessly to resolve issues such as yours and we have not forgotten about you.

If you would like an update on the status of your refund please don't hesitate to contact our customer care team either by phoneline or email.

Enjoy the sun,

Phantom cooker and no refund

We ordered a Bosch hob which appeared to be in stock. They delayed and delayed the delivery, nice people but many many broken promises. Finally asked for a refund. Advised it would take three weeks (why?). Three weeks later and no sign of our money. Rang again and was told that they would refund on the 26th of May. Money hasn't arrived. Terrible. Just don't use them whatever they advertise and whatever they reply to this review.

Hi there George,

Thanks for complimenting our team - we do take pride in our customer service which you have noticed!

However, what does upset us is when we are unable to fulfill customers' orders such as yours with your Bosch hob. As you may have seen on our website, these items are 'Special Order' items, meaning in most cases they will take 10-14 working days to arrive with you, subject to stock availability.

Unfortunately our suppliers of Bosch appliances have been suffering with stock shortages recently, meaning these items have been delayed slightly.

Thankfully these products have now begun arriving in our warehouse at a slower rate and in smaller quantities.

I had a 2 week wait for a cooker called the day before delivery because still had no delivery confirmation email and they tell me it wasn’t in stock now so I cancelled the order and I’m currently waiting for a refund 3 weeks later, so they’ve basically had my money for 5 weeks. Literally worst company I’ve ever brought anything from ever.

Hi Joshua,

I would firstly like to apologise that you have had to request a refund from our team.

We can see that you ordered a Hotpoint cooker from us towards the end of last month. When you placed your order this was a Special Order item, meaning that subject to stock availability these would usually arrive to you from us within 10-14 working days.

Due to our suppliers struggling to get stock to us as a result of travel disruption caused by Brexit & Covid, but on our website you can see that all delivery estimates - such as the 10-14 working days you were informed of - are subject to stock availability.

Unfortunately these issues are very much out of our hands which is just as painful for us as it is for you; we really don't like letting our customers down.

Regarding your refund, we've had quite a few staff shortages in the office recently but are working tirelessly at a reduced staffing level, so please ensure you have emailed cancellations@appliancegroup.com to request a refund and we will issue this in most cases within 14-21 working days but at busier times this may be longer.

Again, please accept our most sincere apologies,

Hi Lisa,

First of all we would like to assure our customers that we are not a scam - we have a proven track record of delivering excellent customer service to those who shop with us over the telephone & on our website.

With regards to your chest freezer, these have unfortunately been delayed getting into our warehouse in the past month due to travel disruptions caused by Brexit & Covid. Additionally we have been undergoing staff shortages in our office as a result of recent illness.

As you have requested a refund from our team, please allow 10-14 working days after confirmation of your refund being processed for it to arrive in your bank account.

Again, we're really sorry to hear that you have had a negative experience of shopping with us.

Many thanks & have a good weekend,

Ordered a slimline dishwasher back March for April delivery and paid money, delivery kept getting pushed back month after month, now back to august but that has just changed from July, prices are lower than most on google but maybe that’s just to get you on their site.

Hi Andrew,

Firstly we would like to offer our apologies for the negative experience you have undergone whilst shopping with us.

The reason why our prices are noticeably low is because we pride ourselves in offering the most competitive prices for our customers on the marketplace.

With regards to your slimline dishwasher, we're really sorry to hear you've had to issue for a cancellation. We never want our customers to experience this.

As you've confirmed that you have emailed our cancellation team, please await their response to confirm when they have processed your refund.
