AVOID AT ANY COST!!

I had a terrible experience with this company regarding an order of lights that unfortunately did not match my fittings as I misread the description provided. I had to return the item and incurred £4.50 in postage and an additional £3.50 for the return. In total, I ended up spending £8 without being able to use the product.

While I understand that mistakes can happen, I found the initial customer service response rather lacking in empathy. The guy called Martin mentioned that they receive around 20 orders per day for these items in his very first response, which felt somewhat dismissive given the situation.

In hindsight, I realised that ordering from a more established retailer like Amazon might have provided a smoother experience, with better return options and support. Only to save £2 per light, it’s not worth it!!!

Lastly, the return wasn’t easy! Royal Mail said the item was delivered on the 24th and Martin kept saying until the 29th that we have not received the item. Once I shared the screenshot of Royal Mail, he issued the refund and said the parcel was with our neighbour. What sort of business that sells 20 orders for one item each day gets their parcels delivered to neighbours and makes their customers wait for the refund?!!! He was trying his best for me to give up on the refund clearly, so they don’t have to issue the refund.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Aman. We are sorry you ordered the wrong items and had to send them back. We have a returns policy that can be seen prior to ordering. We do actually note the dimensions of the product ordered in error, along with a diagram and block capital letters asking the customer the 'check dimensions before ordering' The goods that were ordered incorrectly were returned to the business next door to us. This sometimes happens and is not particularly unusual if Royal Mail attempt a late delivery. We confirmed receipt of the return on Monday and issued the refund immediately. It's difficult to see what we could have done differently here, but glad you managed to get a good deal on Amazon. Hopefully you ordered the right size this time.

Good service in all respects

My order was for a small quantity of downlighter bulbs. Ordering was quick and easy. Arrived very promptly. Good quality and exactly what I wanted at a very reasonable price. Will definitely use this company again.

Really poor experience

Really poor experience. Ordered a light on the 23rd of August that was showing in stock, after a couple of weeks I made contact as hadn’t had delivery, was told they didn’t have any and would be getting more the week after. A further couple of weeks past and still no delivery or communication so contacted them again, still don’t have them in stock and don’t have a date they are expecting them. Left it another two weeks and still the same so cancelled the order for a refund, their website is still showing the item is in stock.

Great company.

I could get items here that I couldn't obtain elsewhere and the service is excellent. Everything is well packaged, too.
Just replaced my old MFI style under-cabinet strip lights - very pleased.

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY - LOADS OF OTHER REPUTABLE, GOOD COMPANIES OUT THERE! I am not the only one as returns are marked "Difficult"!

Sent wrong item, knowing it was unavailable. He was arrogant and rude. Clearly hates customers and not interested in customer service.

Will no doubt reply how everything was obvious and not his fault..... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. I think they believe they have never got it wrong!

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Charles.

Sorry you felt we have been arrogant and rude. We have not spoken verbally, only via email.

We can see that an item has been ordered in error and have provided all the details on how to return. A full refund will be issued for you when the item comes back. Despite sending us the following message we have not moved away from our returns policy, which seems to be the main issue....

'Please arrange collection at your own cost and also refund any outgoing postage you have charged me for delivery once you are in receipt of the item. I will hold back on my review at this stage'

We are comfortable with people leaving us feedback and sharing their experiences.

We are not perfect and sometimes things do go wrong. This is not one of those occasions though. Hopefully you manage to source the correct item.

**03/10/2024** As of today, we have not received anything back from you. Does this mean you managed to fit the item we sent you?

Helpful advice

Martin readily available to advise on purchases and answer queries. My only concern is that I was told two purchases would be amalgamated to save the delivery charge on the second, but I did not get the £7.95 refund promised
