Your Delivery Service STINKS!
This is a review of two halves.
Importantly I ordered Quick Step LVT Flooring for my kitchen which is currently being installed. The price was great and the order went smoothly enough. Absolutely no problems there. That's the end of the good bit.
I ordered for delivery yesterday (Friday) as I needed my builder and another person to be in when the delivery arrived. (I am disabled following surgery). I was promised a call or text with a 2 hour time slot on the day. It didn't happen and I even emailed you with my phone number again asking for the slot. There was no response or reply.
I called Flooring Discount and was told they were again having issues with the logistics company they use. I was told this has been a problem for some time. I explained the need and was told that they would contact the delivery company and get back to me shortly. I called back an hour later as nobody had contacted me and was told that my order was at 'Depot 142' and it was unlikely I would get it that day.
I googled Depot 142 and 'Logistics' and identified the Company who had my items and I called them. They said a driver had gone off because of a family problem. The call taker said there were 16 other unhappy customers and claimed that she couldn't have called to let me know as she was too busy and there were over a hundred customers they had let down. (One driver does not have over a hundred deliveries in a day!)
The flooring supplier had told me that it cost £75 them to deliver my flooring. I paid for that. It didn't actually cost them anything as it was incorporated in the cost of my flooring.
I was promised a service that I didn't get.
The flooring was delivered today and left on the pavement in the rain. I had to call a friend to carry it in for me. I had received no promised call or text (again).
Both Flooring Direct and the Logistic Company told me that the driver would, on this occasion, carry the 7 boxes of flooring into my house. The driver refused saying it was not his job. He actually left it in front of my car so in any event I could not have gone out.
Flooring Direct - the Logistics Company also told me that they had emailed you yesterday morning, explaining your orders would not be delivered but when I called you told me that you did not know why the delivery had not taken place.
You need to get your act in order. I felt fobbed off.
You offer a great price but your service is absolutely rubbish. You must take responsibility for the delivery service you use and it doesn't help for your staff to tell me yesterday that you are always having problems with them. I know you said you have tried other Logistics Companies and they are bad as well but that doesn't wash.
I told both you and the Logistics Company that I am a Journalist and am writing a piece about my whole house renovation. I will be including this.
(By the way, all my phone calls are automatically recorded if you feel the need to challenge my version of events and I will be leaving Feedback on the Logistics Company too.)
