Delighted to find the spare part I needed

I was delighted to find the small, spare part I needed for my Ryobi shredder. The website had a detailed diagram of the machine with all the parts clearly numbered, so easy to find in the order list. Helpful and responsive customer service.

I had a mixed experience with Mower…

I had a mixed experience with Mower Magic. On the positive side, they processed my refund quickly. However, their stock management could be better—items showing as available online turned out to be out of stock, and communication was lacking. It took weeks of waiting and several attempts to get answers before I finally cancelled my order. Decent refund process, but other aspects need improvement. ***

Hi there,

Thanks for your honest comments - we appreciate all the feedback we get. I'm not able to find out your details via this review, and therefore, I cannot find out what products our stock management has issues with, but we will investigate our system further and find out what we can do to make this better.

Magic service from Mower Magic!

I ordered a Trallfa wheelbarrow, they don't keep them in stock and the barrows are despatched from the manufacturer. The barrow arrived next day, amazing, but lacked assembly instructions. Those were emailed through promptly, a question about the wheel assembly was referred to the manufacturer and also answered promptly. I then found one of the many nuts would not grip. That query was also answered promptly and an entire set of replacement nuts and bolts is being sent. Customer service has been first class.

Hi Nigel,

We're so glad that you're happy with your wheelbarrow, and I'm glad we were able to help out with getting the instructions and a suitable set of nuts and bolts to help out.

Hope to see you in the future if you need anything else!

Brilliant company

Ive used mower magic twice now and have been very impressed both times. I chased up the 2nd delivery but the phone was cut off, probably my fault. A little while later I received an email from Sam which answered my query. This was above and beyond and kept me updated with the order. The customer service, delivery and the whole process was seamless. I would use the company again without a doubt.

Fantastic company, highly recommend

Simon was so helpful. They don’t stock Bosch mowers but contacted them for me. I have a lightweight portable mower. I thought I needed a new battery, which are very expensive. After checking everything thoroughly Simon diagnosed and ordered the controller part from Bosch and fitted it. I have just got mower home and it works perfectly without cutting out all the time. I can’t recommend them enough. They’re friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. All for a very reasonable price too. Special thanks to Simon.

I’ve been delightfully surprised by…

I’ve been delightfully surprised by this company. When looking to buy a substantial lawnmower I found it priced the same through Google with three different companies. I chose Mower Magic because of the guarantee. I was really impressed with the speed of delivery from the point of order. Then the problem started! The lawnmower wasn’t collecting properly and it took as long to pick up after it as it did to mow. I got back onto Customer Service expecting to hear back within 48 hours but they replied the following day. Over the course of a couple of emails they diagnosed my problem, my fault on assembly, sent out additional screws and instructions on how to assemble. The mower works perfectly now. They didn’t really have to do all of the after Sales service so I was really pleased with their follow-up. Five star experience.

The only thing they have been good at is a quick refund. Their website said they had stock so i ordered, i got an email saying out of stock and would be with me next week. Nothing happened, I emailed twice no response, called and they kept me waiting and said they didnt have stock despite the website saying they had 7 but on the phone they couldnt give me a delivery date after 2 weeks waiting i cancelled, which was done in 2 minutes

We have investigated this issue. The item ordered was a non-stocked mower that we didn't have here and would normally be ordered on-demand from the manufacturer.

Once we processed the order, we saw stock wasn't readily available, so the order would be delayed. As you mentioned, we did email you immediately regarding this - but unfortunately, we did not hear anything back from you and therefore the order was placed on-hold.

When you eventually called to follow up, the manufacturer had just received fresh stock at that point, so we offered to fulfil that order immediately (it would have been delivered to you within a couple of working days). However, this was refused and you asked to cancel. We accepted this and cancelled the order for you.

I apologise for not being able to help further with this order, however, we did everything we could to help you, and we do not feel that the 1-star review is in any way reflective of our usual service or the service you have received.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY !

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY !
Purchased a Cobra ride on mower in May on finance . The mower was in stock BUT still took ages to arrive ( Ok let that one go ) When it finally arrived one young delivery chap got it off the lorry and drove off ( ok not his responsibility to help unload but never gave us time to check the mower over ) It is advertised that the mower comes on a roll off ready to use pallet . WRONG you have un box it and then lift it off the bottom pallet before you can drive it , so best make sure if you really want to use this company to have strong helpers with you as it is very heavy to lift ( ok let that one go )
NOW the fun parts start !
Checked it over and there were scratches and the steering wheel collar was broken and the bracket that holds the grass collection box was bent. Contacted customer care and after sending them many photos and explaining what was wrong they said they would send out the parts. ( I Have Just remembered the mulcher doesn't come with it and comes weeks later in the post ) We agreed we would fit it to save time but had to wait a while for the parts to arrive but they told us that we could still use the mower.
First time and only time we used the mower we went to empty the grass box and it slid to the side and a part broke off, so couldn't use that lever part so had to get off the mower and lift the grass box off by hand ( so to me the mower is not fit for purpose ) because the whole idea of buying this mower was because of the grass box and the ease in emptying it as their video shows.
Contacted Mower Magic again and told it was our fault as we had fitted the grass box wrong and the mowers are checked at the factory and wouldn't of sent one out with a fault and it has nothing to do with Mower Magic and it was down to the manufactures ( all you had to do was slot the box on nothing difficult in doing that but hey of course it was our fault and the bent bracket was just for decoration ? ) two months passed and the grass is getting higher and higher and still no joy so contacted the finance company and told them what was going on and before we said who the company was They told us which company it was . They contacted Mower Magic and we get a call from Mower Magic ( Long story short ) they would get Cobra to send us the part and we will have to contact a Cobra dealer to get them to come and fit it and get a invoice from them and send to Mower Magic for the service BUT the parts wouldn't come until the beginning of September . It is now the 23rd and not had the use of the mower for months and still waiting for the parts . Have not heard anything from the last email we sent asking what is going on , so now we are now going to go back to the finance company, Trading standards and We will start a small claims process for our money back and the return of a faulty mower . Absolutely appalling service another company that doesn't care once they have your money! Update we had a reply and now the part is coming on the 7th October so the way things are going the grass will be too wet to cut so we won't be able to "test" how well it works until next year and by that time the warranty would of most probably run out .

Good morning,

I’m sorry that you feel this order has been giving you so many problems. Going through your review, I will try to explain your points from our perspective and what we’ve done to resolve the issues.

You submitted your finance application for the Cobra LT86MRL on the 4th of June after we had closed, so on Wednesday the 5th of June, we proceeded to process your order. That would be the high season when most garden machinery retailers and suppliers will be at their busiest, our team then placed the order for the ride-on from our supplier on that day. All these lawn tractors MUST go through a Pre-Delivery Inspection, which means that we would need to build them up and test them following workshop guidelines. The mower was then delivered to you on the 18th of June. We could and would have explained this timeline to you at the time.

Rolling the tractor off the pallet is a simple process and is common to the delivery of every ride-on mower in the UK. After this, it is ready to use. In this instance, the pallet courier that we use decided to place our PDI pallet, on top of another standard pallet, to assist them in transporting the tractor. According to your emails with my colleague, this was explained to you by the driver. We use a third-party pallet company to deliver these tractors across the UK mainland. We passed on your feedback to the pallet company when this was first mentioned.

You reported the damage to us on the 19th of June, and we agreed to send you the replacement parts once we established which parts you needed, hence the photos requested – it is important to us to get the right parts our first time if this happens. The mulcher had to be sent in the post following the tractor, due to a supplier error which we did not know about until after dispatch. This was communicated to you, and all agreed this was ok.

All these parts had to come from the manufacturer, who unfortunately didn’t have stock of them at the time and their earliest ETA was September (at the time of ordering). After you told us about your first time using the mower, and the grass box issue, this was sent on to Cobra’s service department, who told us that the faults described were not manufacturing faults and must’ve been caused by the placement of the grass box on the machine. This meant that any labour could not be claimed under warranty by Cobra, however, we have still agreed, to cover you for any labour costs that may be incurred by your local Cobra dealer.

We are unable to make these parts come any faster from the manufacturer. As soon as they appear we will get them to you.
With your concerns about the warranty, they come with a standard 2-year warranty, and we will also consider this whole situation, so if next season, you still feel like you are having problems with the machine, then we will be here to help.

The comments about “do not use this company” seem a little hyperbolic and unfair considering we have done everything we possibly can to help with the issues you’ve had.

Excellent

Excellent. Not only the help and advice with deciding which to buy, but also aftercare and answering my many questions between initial contact and me being fully satisfied with it.

Put ‘Fred’ (my lawnmower’s name) out in the garden and just let him get on with mowing the lawn.

Couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

Thanks.

Excellent after Sales Service

There was a fault with the item I had ordered. When I spoke to Sam at Mower Magic, he did not hesitate: He told me that he would send a replacement immediately.

Sam was also happy to spend a great deal of time helping me with my purchase as I had quite a few questions about the product concerned.

The service I have received from MM has been of a very high standard and I have no hesitation in recommending the company.

Ordered a Toro mower a couple of weeks ago. Arrived OK and works well. The manual says to register the mower online with Toro but the registration process seems to be solely for US and Canada buyers. I emailed Toro UK who replied saying its the seller's responsibility to do this and I should confirm with Mower Magic that they did so at point of sale. I've emailed and tried to contact via the online form but no-one at Mower Magic has bothered to reply. The online chat function never works however long you wait to chat with someone. I gave up and went back to Toro UK who've been helpful and they are trying to register the mower for me although they maintain that UK dealers should do so. Mower Magic, I'm guessing doesn't do what they are asked and that's why no-one will come back to me. Happy to take my money but as soon as I ask a question - zilch. Very poor after sales service indeed. I wish I'd bought the mower from another dealer

Hello Rob,

Thank you for getting in touch; we record the serial numbers of all Toro and Hayter machinery at point of sale so that they can be registered with the manufacturer. This is not always instantaneous given the volume of sales that we deal with, but every Toro & Hayter machine we sell is registered, as per our responsibility as a Hayter/Toro dealer.

I can only apologise that you have not had any communication – I can’t see any outstanding emails in our general sales inbox concerning registration of a Toro lawnmower. If you were using our online chat facility last week, owing to several unexpected absences we were very short-staffed, so it’s possible that no-one was logged on to the online chat system at that time as our sales team would have been busy serving customers in the showroom and answering incoming phone calls.

If you’re still unsure about the warranty registration status of your machine, please email me directly at samuel.mant@mowermagic.co.uk with your order number and I will look into this for you.

So far so good

Recent purchase of 2 mowers, 1 ride on and 1 Hayter cordless. Nicely packed on arrival, ride on was already assembled and ready to go, however I couldn't get it to go. A quick call to Adam soon sorted me out and he made sure that I had all the various levers etc in the correct position and off I went. Bonser.

Customer care: 'Sorry, we're really busy at this time of the year'

Maybe I expect too much, but having spent over £1100 with Mower Magic, I'd have thought I might get a bit of 'old fashioned' service. Unfortunately, not. My 1st email about a major issue with the mower I'd just received was ignored (I know it'd been read by the response I received when I called to chase the issue up). Was told 'sorry, we're extremely busy at this time of the year', (sorry, but I don't care!)
Then I waited for some action to sort the issue, when none came, after 4 days, I had to phone again, and received their stock reply 'Sorry, we're extremely busy at this time of the year' (sorry, but I don't care!). And when I quoted the consumer protection law, was told that I was wrong, and hadn't read it! This latter statement was eventually rescinded when I quoted the actual wording of said law!
Had the 1st damaged machine replaced at this point, and second delivered as promised. Only this machine also exhibited a fault, which I went back to Mower Magic with, this time, dealing with their MD. Was informed that an agent from the manufacturer would be able to come to my home to check the mower out and advise on further actions. After over a week, no further communication, so I had to call Mower Magic again to chase. Again, stock response 'Sorry, we're extremely busy at this time of the year' (sorry, but I still don't care!), I advised that I was not happy at all with the product, or the service I was(n't) receiving, and that I was of a mind to return it for a refund. Again, a member of their staff who did not know the consumer protection laws, as she told me they wouldn't be able to offer a refund on a used mower (wrong. within 30 days, it's faulty, you must issue a refund if that's what the customer requests).
Was told she would look into the case and get back to me.
Well, as expected, she didn't. So later in the day, I called Mower Magic again, and yes, you've guessed it; 'Sorry, we're extremely busy at this time of the year' (sorry, but I STILL don't care!).
And the answer now is that I must take it to a local Hayter service agent, well, that just isn't happening...it’s less than 2 weeks old, and is faulty!!
Sorry Mower Magic, but you simply don't have a clue about customer care!

Hello Mick,

The reality is that this is our busy season and while we always aim to resolve customer queries as quickly as possible, we can only apologise that in this case it wasn’t quick enough. We would also like to apologise on behalf of the manufacturer for their inaction in this situation.

Following your experience, we are internally reviewing staff training on consumer rights to ensure that this does not happen again.

As of 21st June, we have collected the machine free of charge and a full refund is in process.
