Good Morning Mark,

We’re sorry to hear that you have not had the experience you expected with Fonehouse, particularly regarding the delivery options available to you.

We have tried to contact you directly regarding your review so that we can discuss the situation and work towards a suitable resolution, but unfortunately we have been unable to reach you.

While we’re unable to select a specific delivery time with the courier, as this is dependent on the driver’s schedule and delivery route, we can look at rearranging your delivery for another day. Depending on availability, we may also be able to request a weekend delivery or an upgraded weekday service, which can allow us to request delivery before 10:30am.

We would be more than happy to discuss the available options with you and arrange the most suitable delivery solution. We hope to hear from you so we can resolve this directly.

Once again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Kind regards,
MJ

Splendid interaction :)

Called to let me know that I had one more payment to make on my phone, and needed a new contract for my SIM.

Rescheduled to call again a few hours later and walked me through the options for my current SIM. Appreciated him telling me about the current complications of going to a limited amount data plan, so went onto an unlimited one.

Kind and clear throughout, and a very friendly interaction. Was a much cheerier experience than I'd anticipated :)
