Customer service

After an issue with the fitment of a snow foam adaptor to my Karcher pressure washer, I was really happy how the team found a way to solve the problem, very impressed with the customer service.

First and last time I try this company for detailing products. Awful experience alround.

I bought one of their mystery boxes as I've always heard their polishes, pads etc are very good. The mystery box is £50 with a promise of good products and a total of £100 plus inside. It wasn't. Of the very poor products I received (I have pictures to back this up) were, hand gel sanitizer (small bottle), polar bear de-icer, a litre of floor cleaner, a tester bottle of air freshener, some re usable towels, black spray paint, more air freshener, glass aerosol and some of their liquid wax. To be honest I thought it was a wind up, they are known for their polishes, pads etc and I receive this junk.

I rang to basically complain which I never do. Was net with a half cared apology and a 'will send you a returns email'. I asked if I would have to pay for this privilege, which I would (£9.65 with Royal Mail.). I did explain my reason and also that the box was packaged by I can only assume someone blindfolded? Zero effort. I have returned the items this morning and emailed the lady I spoke to initially, she hasn't even given me the courtesy of a reply. So I await my refund and have asked it to be the full amount including the postage, I will update my review next week.

It will be the first and last time I ever use this company.

I suggest others look elsewhere.

**Update. Have just been refunded the £50 for the Mystery box. No refund for the postage I paid**.

Still no postage refund.
