Great service

Initially, I was concerned as when I placed my order I didn’t receive any confirmation… having read some other reviews. Contacted the sales number, not available, emailed the sales address.
Craig responded saying there was a problem with the system.
Thought I might need to cancel my order, however the following day Craig chased the order with the supplier, arranged for them to ring me the following day to arrange a date.
Phone call received and radiator received with 5 days from ordering.
Would have given a 4.5 star review due to the initial problem, but service afterwards moved it to a 5!!!

Unsatisfactory

Still waiting for an item that was ordered 2 weeks ago. Company do not bother to reply to any emails or messages and do not even bother to answer their phone. I regret having purchased from designerrads.co.uk
I do not know if my item will be delivered or I will get a refund. Please avoid this company.

Updated 24 November 2023
Thank you for your reply Vicky. Indeed I received a delivery on 2nd November, but as you are aware you've sent me a different item to the one I ordered on 19th October. I immediately contacted you to inform you about your mistake and you've sent a courier to collect the wrong item. I am now waiting for a refund and was told it could take up to 30 days, but according to your website I 'should expect to see the refund within 14 working days'. I was a bit annoyed that you did not even propose to sort this order out and send me the correct item. I would have like to give you a better review for my first purchase from your company, but unfortunately my experience ordering from you has been stressful.

We're sorry to see that you felt the need to leave a 2* review and were surprised to read your comments.

Our records show that you placed your order on 3 October.

You first made contact with us, by email, on 13 October at 22:55 to let us know that you have not received the delivery. We responded to you on 14 October to advise that the courier has been attempting to make contact with you to arrange delivery and they have been unsuccessful in reaching you.

You responded to us the same day to advise that you have no emails from the courier, and we replied to advise that they have been attempting to call you.

Whilst we acknowledge that sometimes an email may be missed and as a result there may be a delayed response. In this case, we have responded to all of your emails within 24 hours.

We understand the delivery was successful shortly after our email correspondence.

Kind regards
Vicki

delayed delivery, but successful transaction

items did arrive in the end, but after a rather long delay, and communication from seller was rather sparse, although he did reply to all my emails
update 24/11/23: seller's comments correct

Thank you for your review.

We appreciate the 4* review and your comments. We apologise for the delay on this order and note that once you had made contact to advise us that you hadn't received the delivery, we investigated this with the courier and updated you on the reason for the delay and a new anticipated delivery date.

Kind regards

I wish I had read the reviews prior to ordering. I received my order in a timely manner but then the problems started. I received someone else’s return but have yet to receive my original order. Very slow responses and no one available to speak to. I have now requested my order be cancelled, yet to hear.

Follow up - the response from the business is not accurate. In 11/10 Craig wrote the following message “Apologies, we are awaiting stock due in on Friday. We will ship it overnight”. 9 days later no delivery and as of 6pm tonight no refund.

Afternoon, I am very sorry. We as a Business make mistakes and the item was picked and shipped incorrectly. We arranged a replacment on a next day service and that was refused by a T Allan so you requested a refund that has been done and you have now had the funds back.

Poor Customer Service

Ordered what we thought was the correct radiator as per the picture and size. Arrived and looked on website to notice that only on scrolling all the way to the bottom, that there is a note that the picture is not the same as the item ordered. Returned radiator (our responsibility to pay for the return) to the address provided only to have the radiator attempted to be delivered on 3 occasions and no one be there to accept delivery. I have since made contact with designer rads as they eventually emailed to say they found the tracking information, but they have not responded to subsequent emails to follow up redelivery from their end. We did reorder a new radiator from them at the same time as returning the incorrect one. This is a nice radiator- the only reason I am giving 2 stars rather than 1. I have tried calling in numerous occasions, but never any response. Still out of pocket, and with a radiator somewhere with ParcelForce.
