We ordered a portable air con unit
We ordered a portable air con unit
This was delivered on a large pallet
The driver would not help removed and move to front door
We tried to fit unit in allocated location but this did not work
I called the company to arrange a return and was willing to cover the expense
I was told that could not help with a return and that I should call their Harrow Branch
I called their Harrow Branch to arrange a return but they would not help
I was told that I would have to return this large unit myself to the Harrow Branch
As the box was open and the strapping was cut I had to buy equip from Amazon to repack large boxed
I bought the tools and packing materials costing about £60 and have repackaged the large unit do it can be moved to my car to be returned to the Harrow Branch
I plan to ask a friend to help me move the large unit into my car do it can be returned
It is ov 50kilos so hard to lift as I am on my 80,s
Hopefully I can do this on Wednesday 1st of July
This has been a terrible experience and I not be buying anything else from CEF
