How on earth do you get through to…

How on earth do you get through to these people? Do they even exist?

I purchased a cordless screwdriver through Amazon and it's great but I recently lost the charger. As my screwdriver was originally from Futura Direct, I thought I'd contact them to see if they could sell me a replacement charger. A simple yes or no question.

When you phone, you can't speak to anyone, they just give you an email address. When you send them an email, you just get a robotic "we can't locate your order, suggest you double check with the seller"

I actually want to spend money with these people if they sell a replacement charger, but they seem completely incapable of being able to deal with a simple request. I love my screwdriver, but I can't use it as it's out of charge and no-one at their distribution office is either willing or capable of advising me how to get a replacement.

Hopeless

Hi Paul, Sorry for the issues you have had, we do not sell the charger for this item. You would need to purchase the full item again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Excellent customer service

4 months after purchasing a product from Futura Direct I realised I didn’t have an instruction manual.
I contacted them & received a duplicate manual within 24 hrs.
I would recommend.

Happy customer

We bought an item called the Purus King size Electric blanket from Futura and after about six months it stopped working. The Blanket was still under warranty so I emailed Futura regarding this. There were no quibbles and within a few days we received a replacement. We were very happy with the outcome and the pace at which the company acted to keep the customer happy.

We bought a furura electric radiator…

We bought a furura electric radiator FAH1000-2 after installing it we tried to programme it but the manual was unclear, excessively complicated and frustrating. After 4 days and many clever heads trying to work it out we are still no wiser. The you-tube video was not useful either. I'd advise avoiding this product

Impossible to get a refund

Impossible to get a refund. No contact number, only a form. Received 3 radiators on 9 Jan, and still waiting for someone to reply to me re a DPD collection for my return.

Was ok to start with but cuts too frequently now

The control worked well for a few days but then it jumps down to 0 when I am using it. When it’s just sitting there, it stays on 😕

Update: it cuts after an hour
Update 2: no matter the setting, it flashes E. so it flat out doesn’t work now
