This company is the worst company…

This company is the worst company ever!! I’ve been trying to contact them via phone for the last 9 days and no answer, then emailed them and they emailed back saying that the quad I ordered for my son for Xmas will be with me Monday latest Tuesday and there is nothing, these people are absolute scums. If you lot are incapable of running a business then go work in a normal job, saying that you wouldn’t even probably last there either with communication skills you have! Hope you and your kids have the worst Christmas like the way you’ve made all these people’s have. SCUMBAGS!

Lamborghini SVJ

I ordered my sons Lamborghini aventador svj on the 17th of December (next day delivery) arrived on the 20th due to living in the highlands of Scotland.

When I received the parcel I was amazed by the detail of the car, it was easy to assemble, the step by step guide is easy to follow.

I read other reviews and was slightly hesitant because of people complaining about the company not getting back to them. There is a warning that it is very busy and they are trying to get orders out ASAP so cant always answer the phone. All I say is order in plenty of time. Definitely worth the money. Thanks

Terrible service and still no item.

Ordered my sons helmet on the 12th December (they had a banner all over the website saying order by 16th December for guaranteed Christmas delivery), it’s now the day before Christmas Eve and I still haven’t received an email to even say my order has been processed yet the money was taken straight out of my account. I’ve emailed 3 times, have called constantly for the past 3 days and no one has replied or picked up.
If you can’t fulfil all your orders on time then you should at least have the decency to let your customers know so that we could look elsewhere to get the items in time.
I don’t even know if we’re going to get the item at all, or if we’ll be able to ask for a refund as there’s been no communication with them.
Extremely disappointed with this company and the service I’ve received, definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone ordering from them!

Hello, Sadie
Having looked into your order, I can see that this was placed for one of the Revvi Helmets, we have been informed by the manufacturers of a delay on the manufacturing of the Revvi Helmets, they are due in with us on the 24th and will be shipped from that day. I would expect to receive your order between Christmas and new year, we know that people are wanting gifts in time for Christmas unfortunately this particular item is out of our control. You along with all the other customers waiting on a Revvi Helmet should have received a email from us stating the above information.

**UPDATE - thank you again for your review and your partners review also regarding the order for the revvi helmet, as requested by yourself, we issued you with a full refund back to your original payment method, the revvi helmets have now arrived in stock and I contacted you last week to advise you of this, a red one has been shipped out to you free of charge by way of apology for the inconvenience and extended lead time you and your partner experienced. If you would kindly update your review to reflect that we dealt with and resolved your complaint satisfactorily, it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards The Model Hut.

Ruined Christmas

Imagine the kind of people that would take an order for a young child's christmas present the 9th December, don't acknowledge the order as 'processing' until the 16th, don't answer when you call and put banners up on their website telling their customers to stop calling them because its annoying.

Imagine being the kind of people that don't bother to contact customers to tell them deliveries can't be fulfilled, so that parents have enough time to find an alternative.

Imagine people that just don't care.

Thats these guys.

Hello, Lauren
Thank you, although I would like to Note that this is not a review, it is a request for information/contact.

Looking at your order details, the revvi bike ordered was currently on pre order, initially due in around the 10/12 along with the revvi 16 bikes, the green and blue revvi bikes were delayed with the manufacturers and all customers who had placed orders for the green/blue revvi 12 bikes where informed of this delay and offered either a alternative available immediately colour or a full refund or offered the option to continue with the pre order but be mindful that they were delayed until January 2020.

I can see that you opted for the full refund and this was issued back to your original payment method.

Still waiting for a reply via email

**update- quad just arrived. Came from a differnt company though, wasn’t the model hut. But would still only rate this company 2 stars as the communication is appalling! All people want is to no the details of where there order is. Not answering the phone or not replying to emails is not helpful and making people think all sorts.

Even though my order arrived. I wouldn’t buy from the model hut again***

**update just received an email from UPS to say I have a parcel out for delivery tomorrow. The company that it’s being delivered from is not the model hut but they do sell the quad that Iv purchased. Will update review of product actually arrives tomorrow**

**Update- I have contacted the courier they said the parcel was being sent by and gave them my address and name to track parcel that way and they have no parcel under my name or address!! I will be reporting this company if I do not have a reply by the end of the day. You can’t say my order has been dispatched and with the courier when they have no record of my details. You’ve taken £289 of my money and there has been no parcel sent to the courier!!**

Still waiting for a reply via email. Was told yesterday someone would email me my tracking number as my delivery was due yesterday but not heard back from anyone! I’ve emailed numerous times since yesterday morning and still no reply.. I spoke to a woman last Thursday about my order and explained my concerns about the reviews being left and she assured me that my order would be here by Monday/Tuesday (still isn’t here) Had a dispatch email on Sunday but with no tracking number.. if your not replying to emails like you said you would or answering telephone calls you can’t blame people for being concerned about where there delivery is. All I want is the tracking so I can track where the quad is and hope that it’s here before the 24th! Very concerned right now that it’s not going to arrive..

Hello, Mr Morton

We do sincerely apologise for this upset, looking at the tracking we have to hand the status states "shipment ready for UPS", this is concerning for us as the item left our premises in good time for the Christmas period, yet there is no further movement through the delivery network.

We have therefore launched a enquiry with UPS to locate your item, while this is ongoing, I can see that a refund has been successfully issued back to you.

Please accept our apologies again, for any inconvenience and upset this caused you.

No item and very slow to refund

Ordered item on Dec 1st, only to be called on Dec 4th to be told there was no stock of the item. I requested a refund in full and next day recieved an email to tell me order status had been updated to 'refunded' and it would take 3-5 working days... Well it's now Dec 19th and still no refund depite numerous attempts to communicate via email and telephone. I am now resigned to the fact that I will have to get my money back via the credit card company I purchased with. Extremely bad customer service experience and will avoid in the future.

*Update
After much calling and emailing my money has been refunded. I believe the model hut has simply been overwhelmed this christmas and has not had the ability to cope. Still a very poor experience from a consumer point of view overall but I don't believe the model hut are mallicious in the way they operate, maybe just lacking in the experience/knowhow required to operate efficiently.

Terrible company

**update so on Thursday we were called back and told the bike was dispatched on 24hr delivery, it’s now Monday and it’s still not arrived.

**update.
After getting my dispatch email on Monday which didn’t have and tracking info on i I called the courier today which said they had no parcel from them (the model hut) and no parcel for me. From what I can work out they are fobbing people off with fake dispatch emails. This is the worst company I have ever had the displeasure of using. Do not buy from them!! **

Terrible company, with very poor customer service. Tried to call many many time’s regarding my order. No communication from them. When got through was told my order would be going out that day, two days later told it was going out that day and it still never went out. Then I was told it would go out on the Friday and it never happened. Finally got a dispatch email on Monday but with no tracking number do I can’t even check to see where it is. Been trying to call for most of the day and no one will answer. Very poor company that I will not be using again.

Please can someone give me a update on my mini moto that I have ordered for my son to get here for Xmas? I received a email yesterday to say I might get a update after 5pm yesterday as you were trying to find a courier to get it to me in the Isle of man in time for my sons main Xmas present. If I would have known from the start that it was going to take this long I would have used a alternative company. The lack of communication has now put myself in a difficult position to source one at such a late stage.

No response and still awaiting delivery

At the moment I am putting one star and will change as and when I receive the bike I have ordered. I received an email last Friday (13 Dec) saying that bike had been shipped with Parcelforce 48 and that it would be with me on or before 17th December. I emailed yesterday as bike didn’t arrive and had a prompt response to say they would get back to me this morning with tracking details. Today I have sent 4 emails and called numerous times and can not get a reply. £400 is a lot of money for me as a single parent and I have saved all year to give my little boy something that he really wants. I don’t have money to buy a replacement. I am leaving this review as reviews seem to get a response. Please just give me the tracking number and I will then take it up with ParcelForce.

Hi Deborah

We hope you had a great Christmas and the Revvi 16 bike was a huge hit on the big day, I note that the review left has still not been updated to reflect that we responded and resolved your query before well before Christmas, providing you with tracking info and as we haven't heard anything after this to say that the bike hasn't been received, we can only assume that all is well,

Would you mind updating your review to reflect this, we know you were probably busy up to the festive period (as we all are!!), maybe now would be a good time to update the review to show our future customers a true reflection of our service and products?
If you get a minute we would appreciate it.

Trying to get hold of the company is impossible

**Update** after leaving my review this afternoon the modelhut contacted me with the tracking number and told me it was out for delivery today. It has just arrived

Trying to get hold of the company is impossible, i ordered an item on the 9th of November and still hasn't arrived I had a phone conversation with them around 2 weeks ago and they told me they where very busy and trying there best to get through there orders which is understandable this time of year which was why I placed my order the start of November for my sons birthday on the 14th december which gave them the 30 day delivery time stated I recieved a email on the 11th December saying my package was dispatched and would be woth me before or on the 16th december but still yet to recive any item. I have rang, emailed and even tried to live chat but nothing so iv turned to trust pilot becuase they seem to be returning answers through reviews all I'm asking is for the tracking number to contact UPS myself I do believe it's a genuine company and not scammers just fallen behind a little, order name jodie bishop

Hi, Jodie

Thank you for taking the time to review. I note from your order details that the order was a pre-order placed for one of our very popular 50cc Zipper Dirt bikes. Sadly when placing a pre-order we do give a estimated due in stock date, that is given to us by the manufacturers to give customers a idea of the date the product will be in stock, this is explained in our Delivery terms and conditions under pre order information that the date are estimates based on the info we have to hand at the time.

I know that there was a customs delay on the bikes, initially due in around the 7th Dec the date was then extended for another week due to this clearance, then taking into consideration the processing and shipping time plus the volume of pre orders we had for these bikes (all being sold out actually as soon as they arrived) Getting them all out on the delivery vans did prove a longer than expected.

I purchased a truck at the end of…

I purchased a truck at the end of November for my daughter's birthday in December. It was shipped promptly but never arrived. After her birthday passed I contacted the model hut who told me that it "must have got lost'. They were unable to send a replacement as the item was now out of stock. We argreed on the phone that they would send out an alternative and they would send me an invoice for the difference and get the replacement ordered. I chased them up on three occasions for them to send me the invoice so I could pay and get it ordered. I never received this. I got fed up waiting and asked for a refund last Tuesday. The lady on the phone told me it would take 3 days at most but usually within 48 hours. Obviously I still have not received my refund and am also not recieving any replies to my emails from the company. The guaranteed Christmas delivery date has now passed for every company that offers similar items. So not only did my daughter not receive her jeep for her birthday, she will also not be recieving it for Christmas. I am left extremely annoyed and also overdrawn as a result of this. Sadly I would say avoid this company at all costs.

Hello, Amiee
Thank you for your review, we are disappointed to hear this, looking into the correspondence we had with you, it did seem that the original Hilux dispatched to you had been lost in the delivery network, as the Hilux had since sold out, I believe that my colleague offered a replacement model for you and a invoice was generated by our accounts, unfortunately this was done after the request for refund.

We do apologise that there was a delay in doing this for you, as for the refund timescale, this is down to the payment gateway used when placing the order, which was Klarna, who we now no longer use on our website due to the longer than expected refund timescales.

We do hope that you had a great Christmas and New Year and also hope that we will see you again in the future @ The Model Hut!!
