Ordered pvc paint

Ordered pvc paint. Before delivery I told them I had ordered the wrong sort. I was told if I reused delivery and it got sent back to them I still would not receive a refund or exchange

Hello Sally,

Thank you for your review. As discussed with you prior to this review being left, the product ordered was customised to the colour specification selected during purchase. Under our Terms & Conditions, customised products made to a customer’s specification are non-returnable and non-refundable, as outlined in section 7(c): “A Consumer may not cancel a Contract if the Products have been made to the Customer’s specifications, for example following a particular colour specification.” This policy is agreed to during checkout before an order is placed.

We understand selecting the correct product can sometimes be difficult, which is why our technical team is available via live chat, phone, email, and social media to help customers choose the most suitable product for their project before purchasing. We also strongly recommend reviewing the downloadable technical and application data sheets available on every product page to ensure the product is appropriate and applied correctly.

Whilst we appreciate your disappointment, the position explained to you before the review remains unchanged in line with the agreed terms of sale.

Thank you for the recommendation. Great to hear the order process was straightforward and that the paint arrived safely packed. Even better that you’re pleased with the colour - always the most important part once the tin is opened!

Hi Sara,

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It’s great to hear our advice helped you choose the right paint, and that ordering and using it were both straightforward.

Our marine paints may feel costly on a smaller job, especially for something like a dinghy, but are made to cope with tough conditions and give lasting protection. We really appreciate your feedback and your support.

Hi Grzegorz,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to read this and fully understand how frustrating delays and product issues can be, especially when they affect a live job.

Before this review was left, the customer service team tried to contact you by phone, but the calls were rejected. Since the review was posted, Nick, the technical manager, has also tried to speak with you directly so we can understand exactly what has happened and help resolve it properly.

We have also requested your contact details through Trustpilot, but have not received a reply so far.

We do want to work with you to put this right. Please call us back on 0113 2455450, option 2, or email Nick directly at nick@rawlinspaints.com. Once we can speak with you, we will be more than happy to review the issue and help find the best way forward.

Kind regards,
Rawlins Paints
