Unhappy Customer becomes Happy Customer

My logobugs weren't delivered on time and there was a delayed response to my initial chase-up.

But when John at Hotline got involved the communication improved dramatically, I was told what had gone wrong and that the bugs would be delivered the next day. They have just arrived. Very happy with them.

Thank you to Hotline for turning an unhappy customer into a now happy customer.

2 of the 10 Soldy 10.000mAh Rcs…

2 of the 10 Soldy 10.000mAh Rcs Recycled Plastic Solar Dynamo Power Bank (A6889) i have purchased don't work, not charged once, windup making funny noise, solar panel left on dashboard in broad daylight at 30C heat didn't charge the battery. It is embarrassing that i have purchased these items to promote business, and now i feel ashamed to hand those over to selective clients. Paid a reasonable price for it, so i would have expected some quality product.

Hi Gurkan,

Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry to hear about your experience with the power banks.

This is the first time we've been made aware of these issues, and we're concerned to hear that two of the ten units are not functioning as expected. The Soldy 10,000mAh Solar Dynamo Power Bank is a premium product, and every unit should be fully operational, so what you've described is certainly not the standard we expect.

Had we been made aware of the problem sooner, we would have investigated straight away. I've already asked the team to contact you urgently to gather the details we need so we can look into this properly and work towards a resolution as quickly as possible.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and look forward to resolving the matter for you.

Kind regards,
