Hi Sarah

I am sorry you felt this strongly to give us a 1 star review. We take our customer feedback very seriously and would like to work to resolve this with you.

Let me explain what has happened. Because the transaction was made on 05/01/2020 and there is a backorder (waiting time for the light fitting from Searchlight) - 17 days have elapsed. So as part of PayPal's Buyer Protection policy - you have been automatically refunded the amount in full. This is out of our hands unfortunately and exists to protect you.

Should you wish to buy the light again, we can enquire with Searchlight about their next available "in stock" date and would be happy to assist in this. Regretfully, it boils down to us not being able to stock all light fittings from Searchlight's catalogue.

Again, apologies for your inconvenience. We would like to work with you to resolve this to your satisfaction. If you would like to discuss, call me on 01604 774011.

Kind regards

EDIT (22/01/20, 15:43): Called to apologise to customer personally for this item being out of stock and advised a next available date. Customer refused to wait for it but has been refunded in full. No further action.

Hats off to Jamie!

I have been working with Jamie over a number of years dealing with orders and queries in regards to hand driers, always very efficient and quick at resolving any issues, always a pleasure to work with Midshires Electrical.

Ceiling fan happiness.

Ordered a ceiling fan back in February, arrived all ok and installed in March. Didn't need to use it much until the hot weather arrived and unfortunately it developed a fault with the speed control. Issue was resolved perfectly with customer services with a replacement unit sent out. Well tested over the Bank Holiday weekend! All working perfectly, very happy with the service from Midshires Electrical, will happily use them again.

Not the quality expected - But great customer service

I have amended my rating based on the prompt after-sales service I received after my complaint.

It great to know that they take feedback seriously and they refunded my additional postage and packaging costs - thank you

Initial review:
The product (80mm Desk Power Grommet with 3 USB Ports) looks good installed but the build quality was not what was expected from an £80 socket (something loose within the sealed unit).

I was also disappointed with the very limited technical details on the website, particularly regarding the connector. I thought the connector would be male (like the one I was replacing) the picture supplied looked like it. It wasn't so had to place a separate order for the power cord and incurring additional postage costs (and hassle).

Frustrating to deal with....

First order for ceiling fan wall Controllers was cancelled by Midshires Electrical as they said they had stated the wrong price on their website. I reordered last Saturday (6 days ago) at the new inflated price and still awaiting delivery or any further information. Very frustrating overall. Update 17May - order has been received and no issues

Apologies for your negative experience. I will ensure that, going forward, technical price glitches are dealt with promptly.

We received a proof of delivery for your transaction. Can you confirm that everything else was in order and you were happy with your received items?

Thanks

Hi there,

Firstly, I apologise on behalf of the Online Sales Team. Providing a great customer experience is very important to us, and we are sorry that your initial experience did not meet that standard.

Firstly, Your parcel was delivered on Thursday 2nd May 2019 at 9:37 and it was signed for. Please confirm receipt as the item has a proof of delivery.

This was a Rolec manufactured product. On all Rolec product pages it states "delivery - 7 - 14 working days" because they manufacture to order. I am sorry about this but we cannot influence the manufacture time of our suppliers.

Please call me on 01604 774011. My name is Jamie and I would be happy to discuss this further.

Kind regards
