Poor aftersales

Initial contact was great, ordered 10 bulbs and spoke to a nice helpful staff member who confirmed the order and got the products out same day!

Goods arrived the day after and one of the bulbs was smashed, incidentally the bulbs were packed in a plastic courier bag, I am shocked 9 arrived in one piece.

Reported within 5 minutes of the delivery, emailed pictures and the delivery note and the company is refusing to resend one "in case of damage" therefore not fulfilling my order. They said they would refund the damaged one leaving me to locate buy another and pay extortionate postage for one bulb which contractually should be resent. The only reason for not replacing is to save postage on their part.

Could have been a good experience but alas another company putting profit over customers.

This is the second order I have placed

This is the second order I have placed, the first one arrived late, they showed the items in stock. However what it means is it’s in stock with the manufacturer/Suplier they don’t have it. Tried them again again for a couple of plugs and blanking plates. Placed order on the 6th for a 1-2 day delivery, it’s being delivered today 14th

Avoid - unhelpful returns on damaged item

I chose ETC as I needed some Niglon RCBOs. Of the 3 that I ordered, one arrived damaged. This was only apparent when the electrian opened the package to install the RCBOs.
Despite the Consumer Rights/ Distance Selling laws that require ETC to cover the return postage for a damaged item, they refused to do this even when I spoke to them on the phone, leaving me out of pocket.

The company was let down by the carrier they use Parcelforce. The experience with ETC electrical was mixed some communication was prompt and some was not answered at all.
Overall the product ordered was fine and the tracking was good
