The first time I ordered from Back to…

The first time I ordered from Back to the Pets and I am impressed. Product arrived quickly and well packaged.

My daughter will take delivery of a King Charles puppy in a few weeks, so I ordered a donut bed for Rufus.

I am looking to buy a suitable Kong for a puppy and a couple of interesting toys, I’m hoping I can buy from the same place.

Back to the Pets, well done and thank you.

Got half my order and other items…

Got half my order and other items weren’t delivered. Emailed company and no reply. Still not received the goods or a refund. Took two weeks for half of the order to arrive. Poor poor service and won’t be using this company again. Please stay clear of this company.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for leaving the review, albeit slightly harsh, as we've not had any contact with you.

First, I'd like to apologise that you haven't received your full order, and that only part of your order arrived much later than it should have. We'll look into this straight away. (As the full order was shipped to you)

Secondly,

I have checked for any communication from you and haven't received an email or a live chat from you. (We have the live chat option open 10 AM-5:30 PM to avoid any reviews like this.)

Regarding an email, how did you send this? - Was it via our contact form? On our 'Contact Us' page?

https://backtothepets.co.uk/pages/contact-us

Or via the email address listed on there? hello@backtothepets.co.uk.

If it wasn't sent via any of the methods above, the chances are it wouldn't reach us.

To note, if you responded to an email that we've sent to you automatically for any order updates, these won't reach our inbox, as these are 'No-Reply' emails.

If you'd like an update on your order, please reach out via one of the methods above so we can assist you.

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Regards,
Jamie

Have not received my order

Have not received my order. Still showing as not yet shipped.
Have emailed them twice and used their contact form twice with no response from either.
Things do go wrong and that’s OK but communication is required here and have heard absolutely nothing from them.
I would not recommend ordering from this company.

Hi Geo,

Thanks for the 1* review, albeit slightly harsh as we did respond to you, but never received a response. (So there could be a possibility that your email provider has sent it to your junk folder)

We reply to all emails within 24 hours of receiving them, and on this occasion, we did so within 12 hours of your email reaching our inbox.

You emailed/chatted on 15th February and we followed up with an email on the 16th advising that DPD had lost your original order and that we are not due any further stock until mid/late March. (I asked if you would prefer a refund or if you were willing to wait for a replacement)

Can you please email us at hello@backtothepets.co.uk to let us know whether you'd like a refund for your order or if you'd like to wait for the stock to arrive? We can then make the necessary arrangements.

We can only apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you, it was truly not our intention to do so.

Regards,
Jamie

A Name to Remember Quality and Service.

My first purchase with this business having been badly let down by another so to find a place where I can buy with confidence certainly earns five stars. From the first contact and order placed to the actual delivery I can only report excellent, Always kept up to date with the process of the order and delivery expectation and I would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

Great Dog Collars

Great Dog Collars
I’m so happy the collars are great quality and look very comfortable- when they arrived I did think that they’d be to big but they fit perfectly.
Very happy with the easy ordering and swift delivery service
Thank you 😊
