staff are great and do a good job

staff are great and do a good job - not enough of them though - and the certificates being sent out wrong etc could save a lot of issues in the first place - please sort out the system and get people who understand dog showing in the building - not just generic staff.

Marie knows her business

Marie helped me the first time and was extremely helpful. Sadly call wait on KC cost me 112.00 usa in phone charges

I was fortunate to not wait as long this time. I had emailed a week ago for help and got no response so I called again.

I got Marie thank goodness! She knows her business and process and steered me a different direction to get me what I needed and offered tips and suggestions for other transactions I will be needing.

Our AKC here is not near as knowledgeable and I have to tell you customer experience is everything and she has the skills and knowledge of her work and excellent customer service!

Nicely done Marie!

The registration form (form 8) well dealt with

The registration form (form 8) would not work on line. Telephone answered in about 8 minutes by Olivia. She was pleasant, calm, patient, understanding and very professional. There was a history of issues on the KC web site with two joint accounts together with a third that had not been resolved. This complicated matters but Olivia sorted it all out and my initial enquiry was addressed with the registration completed. Olivia was a credit to the KC.
(p.s. the telephone on hold music is 'bluesy', calming and much better than others).

Maria was lovely and so easy to talk too. So helpful and knowledgeable and helped me in so many more ways than I had called up for initially. She guided me to different areas of how the kennel club can help and to advice that will benefit myself and my young litter so much. I have NEVER had a bad experience or phone conversation with any1 at the kennel club. I really can't compliment them enough. As a 1st time breeder I am still learning and they have been so helpful

Ella was extremely helpful and resolved my issue

Ella was extremely helpful and resolved registering my litter over the phone . I had followed the KC advice on timings for registering my litter but this potentially meant the litter wouldn’t be registered by the time they left me . Not ideal !!!

Ordered 10 'H' Regulation booklets and received 10 Record books in error. A total of 27 calls were made before I put in a random option number, and the call was answered.
I was informed that nobody mans the publication helpline, which meant the messages that I had left went unheard.
Extension numbers are not readily available on the KC Website, and the Customer Services number is no more than an automated main menu.
Given the recent Royal status and significantly increased costs for services, I feel that the member is valued less than ever

Our Publications Team have asked us to apologise. There was a mispack at the despatch centre and as soon as this was discovered replacements were issued and sent first class.

They have also advised that at the time you called they were away from the office at a team event.

We are very sorry that this issue occurred and hope the correct documents are now with you.
