Order has never arrived.

Ordered the watch glass in June and even after contacting Maddison’s several times the product has still not arrived - it’s now mid December.
Does the company actually exist or is it just a scam?

Good morning Sarbjit,

I am very sorry that this hasn't arrived.

Regarding now being able to speak to anyone, you did only email around 30 minutes ago at 11:10 PM. Unfortunately, we do only 8-4 PM.

I am looking into your order and will get back to you as soon as possible via email.

Best wishes,
Hannah

Poor customer service

Did not send order out and customer service was ignorant and did not respond to messages and no apology for inconvenience

Good morning Darryn,

I'm sorry you felt the need to leave us such a negative review and that your experience with us has not been a positive one.

We did in fact apologise via email (the delay was no doubt caused by the Royal Mail strikes). I can see by the tracking number the item arrived a day later than we would have liked and you were asked to get back in touch when it did arrive - which you didn't. At that point, we would have been happy to offer you a discount on your next order.

Please get in touch if I'm missing anything or if you need any further support. Have a lovely weekend.

Warm wishes,
Hannah

speedy despatch

speedy despatch, very good stock range including hard to find items. My only gripe is no phone line to be able to ask technical details or get a swift resolution in case of issues with delivery. There is a live chat facility though but not quite as useful as a helpline. Seller recommended and would use again.

Good morning,

Many thanks for leaving lovely feedback! As a small company, it'd be difficult to manage a phone line right now. However, we're working on it!

Have a great day!
