Appalling customer service -Avoid

Sold me incorrect track at model rail show. Left numerous messages and sent emails with no response apart from we will telephone you to resolve -no call from them. the worst customer service I have ever experienced- How are you still in business when you treat customers with utter contempt? Your customer service is a joke.

SCAM COMPANY!

WARNING: SCAM COMPANY!

They take your order and money with no email order confirmation or most importantly supply the paid for goods. I've been waiting nearly 2 weeks.

Model railway items

Only dealt with the shop online but they could not have been more helpful. I had a slight problem but this was resolved over the phone with a positive outcome. I was kept updated with regard to the order delivery.

Excellent service as KMS is proactive…

Excellent service as KMS is proactive in meeting customer needs. Left order for product which was out of stock (everywhere). Later, KMS telephoned to say they had sourced an alternative product at higher price but were able, in these particular circumstances, to supply at the price of out of stock product. Could not ask for more.

My ordering experience with KMS Railtech

All I will say is read all the reviews before making a purchase, I wish I had. Took six weeks for order to arrive, just as the dispute with PayPal closed in my favor. So had to return item. Rail tech were very apologetic, due to family issues.
