Product took ages to ship, broke after 2 days of correct usage. Constant emailing for ‘how did we do’ after.

Good Afternoon E Sky,

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to learn of this issue. I have attempted contact by telephone, you were not available, I have left a brief message.

On reviewing your order, this was dispatched the same day the order was placed, and the delivery is showing as taking place a few days later as would be expected.

I cannot see that you had contacted us until today about this, I have also located your email you had sent into us this morning and will respond further via email.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris

I bought some ibuprofen tablets and…

I bought some ibuprofen tablets and some had to pay for them up front. I then got an email from the pharmacist checking if I’ve taken it before etc etc - the usual checks.
I answered the email the same day and I have not had a reply, I’ve not had any further correspondence from anyone from the company and I still haven’t received any ibuprofen. I would not ever use them again. I will be asking for a refund.

Good Morning Sarah,

Thank you for your review, I am sorry to learn of this issue. I have attempted contact by telephone, you were not available, I have left a brief message.

On reviewing the details of your order, I see we did receive your response, your order was authorised and dispatched the same day, you should have received emails from us confirming the order had dispatched with the parcel tracking details.

On checking the tracking, the parcel does appear to be delayed within the courier’s network, I have raised this with them for further investigation, however it may take a few days for an update to be received.

I will also email you.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
Chris
