Poor delivery
I am disappointed with the service provided by plumbnation in regards to the delivery of my order or rather non-delivery!
When given my original delivery date I wrote to ask if this could be changed as no one would be available to receive the order. The response that I received at this time could not have been more helpful and the date was changed to the 15th June with the promise of a phone call 1 hour in advance of the expected delivery time. With this in place I delayed my return to work by a day as a weekend delivery is not an option.
Expecting a delivery later in the day I didn't have any cause to worry about not having heard anything throughout the morning but decided at 3pm that it would do no harm to ring up and check up on the location of my order. After some time and interaction between the call centre and the branch in Norwich I was eventually informed that due to a combination of having waited for part of my order to come in (valves), no drivers available and being too late to organise a courier my delivery would not be taking place. I was then offered delivery the next day which I had already declined for the reasons mentioned earlier, delivery on another date but obviously not weekends meaning a wait of at least another fortnight or delivery to a local branch where I could pick it up myself at my own cost and whenever time allowed.
Although annoyed enough at the inconvenience that this has caused what I find really disappointing is that at no point was I contacted to inform me that my delivery was at risk, in fact if I had not rung up to check I somehow doubt that I would ever have been told..!
A little bit of thought could have resulted in the radiators being delivered just leaving me to collect the valves, at least that way the radiators could have been hung and I could have got someone to collect the valves for me.
I chose Plumbnation as I thought that being part of TravisPerkins would ensure a smooth reliable service. How sad then to have my illusion shattered at the final hurdle.
The bulk of this review is taken from an email which I sent to PlumbNation but have yet to receive a response from...!
