I had to cancel a delivery as the furniture I had ordered was too big, totally my mistake. I spoke to Chris one of the team leaders and he couldn't have been more helpful. He organised the cancellation straight away and was really understanding. I would highly recommend them, great customer service

Really good Communication with customer services when I had a query, and was kept informed from start to finish. Delivery guys let me know a 2 hour window days before and on the day phoned to say how soon they’d be arriving. Very friendly and polite, efficiently delivered large bed to where I asked with no problem at all. Recommended , would definitely use them anytime.

Under resourced for delivery!

Pre-delivery info good. 4 man team were booked to deliver two heavy sofabeds; only 2 arrived. I had to assist. At 70 I am not as strong as I used to be. We struggled.
A stressful experience.

A joke of a 'delivery' company

We have the easiest to access property, ground floor, 20 steps to the bedroom to deliver and assemble the bed. Giving the attitude and threating to take the bed back if we do not remove a non-slippery carpet protection for them to walk over! We have works going on in the property and no builder carrying much heavier stuff had any issues! In fact, quite the opposite.
Had to remove it for these snowflakes meaning now have to buy and lay a new protection.
Extremely rude and arrogant, even telling my husband to leave the room when he came in to check the work half through as they 'are not done yet'...
Not the retailer fault (West Elm) but surely they can find some other company with the better integrity and attitude. Not a rocket science is it..?

Dear Elena
Thank you for taking the time to feedback. Our delivery teams would be looking to secure an obstacle-free pathway through your home to your room of choice to avoid risk of injury or damage. I am sorry that this caused inconvenience to you. I hope you are delighted with your West Elm bed.
Kind regards, Harvey

Fantastic…

Regular correct updates and goods were delivered as promised with the time frame. The driver was in contact prior to delivery as I requested advance notice. All exceptional service. Faultless thank you - it is rare these days to receive such a quality service.

Top team

Top team! The two lads who delivered my bed were super friendly, professional and just awesome. The had quite a job on their hands as I live 4 floors up and there is no lift but they handled it like a pro and were very polite. The communication was great and they called 10 minutes before they arrived giving me some time to make sure the doorway was free.

Delivery expected today between 13.30-15.30. Took the day off work to be home. No communication at all from the company. Called at 17.00 to find out if delivery was coming, and they said yes, just running behind. Get a call back at 6 to say it's not coming due to road closures (none anywhere near where I live). Said they will redeliver at some point in the future but had no idea when. Terrible customer service, would expect at least some form of communication to say they were having issues but nothing at all from them until I called to chase.

Dear SIlas
I'm very sorry that our delivery team fell short of our standards yesterday in not keeping you updated with their progress. I've passed this to the local depot manager to address with them. I've asked our Customer Support Centre to get in touch to arrange a new delivery date.
Kind regards, Harvey
