Order not received

I placed an order on Friday, June 7th. By Monday, June 10th, I received an email stating that my order had been shipped, but there were no tracking details provided. Now, it's Monday, June 17th, and I still haven't received my order. There's been no tracking information, and customer service is unresponsive to emails and phone calls. Sending shipping notifications without tracking details is poor customer service. If I don't hear back by today, I will contact PayPal to dispute the charge.

This is unacceptable. DO NOT SHOP HERE.

AVOID! Worst experience EVER!

This company is awful and have the worst customer service I've ever experienced. I ordered a letter plate on May 1st, 1 week later it hadn't arrived so I emailed customer support to check what the issue was. They said it would definitely be with me before the end of the week...alas...no letter plate! Emailed customer service again and was fobbed off with a tale that they are moving warehouse and to bear with them. I did "bear" with them, to no avail. Three weeks later still no letter plate! I emailed again to ask where it was, the person on the other end told me it was still out of stock?! Even though I had a "shipped" email notification on May 2nd! Lies upon lies upon lies! Avoid and do not give them your money. Still no refund which was apparently processed on May 23rd! I've never written a bad review before but this has warranted one. Disappointed is an understatement.

Good range of items

Good range of items - including simple, uncomplicated essentials such as toilet roll holders (which don't necessarily include a "phone shelf"! Quick service.

Inept

Inept. In the entire time I have communicated with them they have been both irresponsible and dishonest in their replies. Upon my order I received an email the day after that the order had been shipped. YEAH! 2-weeks later I asked for the name of the tracking # and shipper. The reply, "Sorry, but we are moving and the order got delayed." A coverup lie. Two weeks later another email asking for the same. The return email. "Something went wrong, but we will look into it. And, we no longer produce your lampshades, so they are cancelled." Another coverup. After waiting 2 months for news on the order with tracking #, today an email has been sent saying, "I have spoken to my senior manager and this order has been cancelled." You have to be kidding!? The only wish I have is that the company folds and dies a horrible death. They deserve it.

Overall Good.

H hinges: little bit of play in the hinges, but otherwise nicely, traditional design and manufacture.

Awaiting product, awful customer services

Ordered last Sunday for next day delivery but nothing has turned up 6 days later. Emailed and phoned yesterday. Eventually got through on phone and was told they will investigate and call back. No call back received. This firm is all to willing to take your money but don’t deliver the service promised. I recommend you use Ironmongery Direct as an alternative.
It is now nearly three weeks since purchase. No item and despite request for money back, no communication or refund.

Dear Marcus,

Thank you for sharing this honest feedback. I have investigated this. The item you have placed an order for is a customized item, which can take a few working days to be delivered. We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience it caused, because we are moving our warehouse to another location, and deliveries are being delayed because of this. We will be back on track soon, and once again, we apologise for the inconvenience it caused.

Thank You

Don’t rely on promised timescales

Placed order with next day delivery. Two days later, still not received. Contacted Ironmongery World to be told there is a delay on items being sent out due to moving warehouse. Very little help from them to confirm whether the item has been sent or not. The item will now arrive after the project has been completed.

Poor customer experience

order an item. They confirmed to me by email that it had been dispatched. When it didn’t arrive after a week I raised it with customer services and asked for a replacement.

3 chasers and another week later they just refunded the money without explaining what happened. It turns out they didn’t have the stock so never dispatched it at all. Whilst annoying I wouldn’t have minded but what has irritated me is the poor customer service and the fact I had to chase 3 times for them to give me a refund and then I had to send another email asking why they’d cancelled my order.

Next day? Really?

The product (toilet seat hinge set) was fine, but, because the old hinge was broken, I opted to pay the extra for "next day delivery". Ordered before 4pm on Monday but it didn't arrive until late on Thursday. That's not even close to "next day".
In fairness, this could be down to the carrier, rather than the retailer. Hard for me to tell.

Dear Customer, Sorry for the inconvenience. We have 90% next day delivery fulfillment promise rate. However, in your case if you experience the opposite, we are deeply sorry for that. We are investigating with the carrier for the late delivery.
