Delivered to wrong address

Delivered to wrong address, delivery should have been to my friends address which I had put in delivery address section, however it was delivered to me at the billing address. Item was a gift for a friend who lives a long distance away

Easy & straight forward online purchase

Ordering on line & delivery of garden furniture was very easy & straightforward with delivery of the furniture just over a week later on the allotted day. The delivery men were friendly & helpful. Very happy with my Bents purchase experience.

I ordered on click and collect

I ordered on click and collect. I was very disappointed with collection process no instruction where to collect. I attended at customer services desk to be told oh no not here go to the “shed” outside once was instructed pick up the phone for attention when staff member came in they said oh no it’s not here I’ll look after around 10-15 mins I was told I’ll get some one to bring one over as I waited a member of staff sauntered ove from the main building. Surely I could have saved myself time by collecting from customer ser in the first place.
Two star for the product not the click and collect bet disappointed

Thank you for leaving a review following your recent experience of our Click and Collect service.

After speaking with my colleagues it appears there was some confusion when processing your order which resulted in you not receiving the email to inform you of the next stages of our Click and Collect process and for that I can only apologise; your feedback has been shared and improvements introduced so thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We are so sorry for any disappointment and inconvenience you have been caused, but thank you for letting us know and we sincerely hope this will not deter you from visiting our Online Store again in the future.

Great activity idea....but too simple

Great activity idea....but in reality stuffing a bear was a bit to simple. It was just put in the middle of the children's boutique on a dirty table. Not very well presented. The lady running the activity was very nice. Reasonable value as well

Leaking product and leaking replacement.

My order arrived as prr schedule.
But part of my order the Seaweed plant food leaked everywhere.
I informed your customer service what had occurred. He said he would replace the items and send me a replacement .
When the replacement arrived they too were leaking.
I did not complain again, but I will not be in a hurry to order liquid plant food again.
My first experience of ordering from yourselves was not the best.

We will investigate further including looking at how we can safely deliver items such as this and if you email me your contact details (m.bent@bents.co.uk), I will arrange for a refund for the replacement item which was damaged in transit.

DEYONGS Fox and Deer throw

Ordered the DEYONGS Fox and Deer navy throw (140 x 180cm) as we wanted a second one for a room; had bought one previously from another store. Fabulous price and quick delivery.

Thank you for your review.

We’re so sorry that we had to cancel the Hair of the Dog Scavenger Hunt at the weekend at such short notice; this was due to circumstances beyond our control.

We did notify all those who were due to attend and so I have checked with the Events Team and unfortunately the email address we had for you was incorrect so we were unable to personally notify you.

Please accept our sincere apologies for any disappointment and inconvenience you have been caused and if you would like to discuss further please email me your contact details to mbent@bents.co.uk.

An example of exemplary Customer Service.

Re my recent Online Order#122373.
There was an item missing from the delivery of goods
ordered.
One phone call, immediately answered by a real person, followed by a prompt exchange of explanatory emails, resulted with the missing goods being delivered the following day.
Excellent Service, smiles all round !!!
