Bad customer services, lying about delivery

[Ian McGuire]

hi all,

Has anyone else had issues with a company called aquabliss?

Ordered a shower tray from them, arrived a week late and was wrong size.

Their customer service people lied about delivery dates and times etc and have finally told me they are sending a replacement, the same size as the wrong one!!!

This is now 2 weeks late so have cancelled order and gone elsewhere.

Frustratingly customer is 75 year old couple that have not had a physical shower for 2 weeks, luckily their neighbours have helped out.

Can’t believe how bad they have been over this.

Story of the world these days mate. When they can hide behind a phone line customer service is dead

Ha true enough wrong people for the job

This sort of thing shows how important it is to assemble all essential materials before starting a job - I know we can still get caught out with damages etc but at least do what you can to minimise the chances.

Too true, we took bath out on Monday as delivery was that day. No tiling beneath bath line and bare stone wall so had to plaster and tile there then found lead waste pipe going through the 3ft stone wall 120mm above floor level so had to build a platform for the tray.

Wrong tray arrived a week later on bank holiday Monday and been told a replacement is on its way, will be there in morning or it’s half hour away etc

Love working on these old stone houses and this one even has a level floor. Walls not so lol

Always get materials before ripping the stuff out and shop at a local stockist

This re inforces the value of your local plumbers merchant who is often a stockist in my opinion. centralheatking

Ultimately this is your fault, if you were a sub contractor for a HA you would be charged, back stopped or de listed. Sorry but thats the way I see it

How is this his fault? If you go McDonalds and order a big mac and you get a chicken burger is that your fault? No it's the company that has not delivered the bits ordered.

I've had it in the past where I went in to my local merchants and said are all the parts for x ready to go? they replied yes so 2 days later ripped out existing shower tray and installed bath asked for the multipanel to be delivered the following day to be told it hasn't come in yet! When I said I asked if all of my parts for that job came in and was told yes everything was in. About 10 phone calls to both the manufacturer and merchant and about 2 weeks the panels arrived every single time I was told they will be out tomorrow or 2 days etc I was even told they had been put on a special courier to get them to my local merchants before 10am next day the following lunchtime I was on the phone and this was the last phone call to them the panels were out of stock and not due to be ready for another 3 weeks.

I suppose all the lies told and the mistakes of others is my fault as well.

Never start a large ..ish job without the components ...imagine if you had pulled the bog out and it was the only one in the gaff and you could not get one even for before next morning....I actually did this but it was my own place over a bank holiday...my now ex wife no 1 was not happy at being told to go down the White Hart Pub...regards Rob Foster aka centralhearking
