See my post elsewhere in the forum as this seems to be the thread the issues are being addressed in, I can get an answer on the phone, but not emails ... !!??!!
"I recently tried to buy some tackle from the fishing warehouse and had a bit of a bad experience to be honest .. so this is just a heads up really from a customer service point of view!!!
I ordered some items via the webshop a chair and some other stuff on Sunday 29th July
Come Wednesday I called to see where the said items were .. only to be told, two of the items were not in stock (note. i hadn't been informed of this, despite sending off 3 emails at this point to the contact us form)
On Wednesday the unknown member of staff .. stated he would send the items out that day or at the lastest Thursday to arrive today 3rd August. (I decided on a slightly more expensive chair which was in stock)
I phoned today (friday 3rd Aug) spoke to Les to ask when the products would be arriving only to be told they wouldn't be, as they hadn't been dispatched !!!
I have now requested a full refund which I am informed will be back on my credit card in a few days ...
Hopefully it will be !!!
Im not being especically critical here and as long as I get my refund processed at a decent speed all will be well but from a customer service, response to customer enquires this has been a bit of a mess
I'd like to think someone may respond to these queries here ... but maybe not based on my experiences of responses to emails
i'm sure i may be an isolated case!"
What would be nice is a better email system whereby confirmations of refunds, confirmation of items being out of stock went out fast-ish after all as the banner above this post states "We only sell tackle we stock"
I also sent my request for a refund in writing and cc'd myself in on it, but like the other 3 emails asking where my items were .. no response, in a world where "Calls are not recorded for training purposes" theres no comeback on what people say verbally
What should be noted was that I literally stayed in the house the whole week waiting for these goods to arrive by courier! when I could have been doing other things!!!!
By the way Paul .. ive only just seen this post so couldn't PM you ... If i use the shop again and run into similar problems I will . In fact I think I will just to make sure my refund is being processed if thats ok !
