The encounter turned out to be somewhat unsatisfactory. A couple of things I ordered were missing from my order. The company did not get in touch or communicate. They told me the package was not delivered when I contacted their customer service. I was emailed the PS5 discount when my issue was addressed, and the property was reordered. Nothing came of it. I used the chat feature to find it for around ten minutes. The chatting persisted until I realized I had to get in touch with the individual I spoke with to find my voucher. She didn’t seem to be persuaded. I’ve placed multiple orders with them as a frequent customer, but I’m not sure if I will do so again.
I placed my order, and the price increased! Sat. evening, I placed my order. Price at checkout: PS46:48, basket: PS44:73. The chat agent agreed that there was a problem on Sunday morning and recommended contacting the helpline. For getting them to the next checkout step, the pricing was reasonable. My cart’s contents became more expensive as I looked to see if there was anything else I could not find (while still being in the account). My rewards discount had disappeared; I had canceled the order.
Yodel claimed to have delivered the item to me after I made a transaction on the website! However, it hasn’t. Yodel informed me that it was supplied when I contacted them. They don’t think it has been shipped. Barrett and Holland have not responded to me.
Using “click and collect” to place orders is simple if you have an online account. It takes a while to get used to the ordering process, I’ll confess. Along with that, I would like to thank everyone who helped me during my shopping and collection. Keep up the fantastic job.
Both this business and H+B in general, I would suggest. The staff at H+B Potters Bar has always been welcoming and accommodating, and on this particular occasion, Jylwia and Simran were among them. For them, it posed no difficulties.
On the Thursday evening before delivery, which would have been the Saturday before delivery, the order was placed. The delivery was provided via the awful service YYodel. This is the second time it has happened. This has never happened to me when using Evri. The level of service was terrible. I’m still waiting for my products to be delivered, and Yodel is still waiting for delivery this morning. Kindly correct the joke on the service.
I would give it a rating of fewer than one star. There were two botched deliveries, numerous calls to incompetent staff, a great deal of stress, and neither a delivery nor a money refund. Yodel is not good. I won’t place another order with Yodel or purchase anything else from them. My personal information is also absent from two packages that I have previously received. If you don’t want your health and well-being to suffer, place your order online. I’m going to avoid it. I have been phoning. I’m checking with my neighbors to see whether they got my package. Making a call to them. without taking any action to reduce stress.Please move aside if I were you.
Two times that I was able to get through to them, I was blocked by fictitious agents. When I contacted a manager for contact information, I was given an email apologizing for any inconvenience and promising to get in contact with me shortly. That was two weeks ago, and even though I followed up with a follow-up email to inquire about my progress, I never received a response from the management! Absurd! Unbelievable client support! They will track out the individual who took the money to complete the buy, but they will forget about the order if they ask for money again to finish the transaction. Disgusting, and that comes from a corporation that should be well-known and decent—disgraceful!
Like others, it has recently surfaced. Delivery was scheduled for three days, but it took nine working days for it to leave their warehouse. Yodel followed it and verified that no one had picked it up. Every time, customer service sounded impolite and apologized, but they were unable to issue a refund because the item had already been shipped. It was expected to come in a few days, so I was encouraged to be patient. I have more than enough time until the deadline, and the card company has given me a credit. I promise not to use H&B again.
I shall never place an online order. Issues such as shattered jars or peanut butter with letters all over the package arise with every purchase I make, and the last one is to remember and keep me from ordering again. Even though I placed the transaction, I haven’t received the money or the order itself. I’ve also received multiple emails asking about fababoutrefund and about another option besides PayPal for exchanging the item.
A disorganized web customer support system. My purchase was for a water bottle that wasn’t in stock but could be bought online. I spoke with an advisor who was unaccommodating, took a long time to answer my questions, and then abruptly ended the call when I expressed my dissatisfaction with their service and asked for a complaint number! A few minutes later, the chat was reopened, and I was greeted exactly by the same advisor. I was disregarded when I asked for a complaint number once more. I waited for them to reply, but they didn’t, so I waited for twelve minutes. Amazing! I can demonstrate that with screen recordings.
Barrett, the man running the place, spoke funny to me while I was there recently. Just now, I asked him if there was any money on my card. Could you cut the sum down? He insisted that I come the same month and that I should not return after five months. The way he spoke startled me; it was so agitated and uneasy. I’m also really let down. The only locations where we can use our points in the same month are Holland and Barrett. Boots, other supermarkets, and every other store you might need in a year. This has left me feeling let down.
Fortunately, I managed to keep my cool. After placing an order, I was told that the local cooperative would be having a delivery on Wednesday. There was no email sent to them, therefore I suppose the products were not delivered as usual. They now mentioned Friday, so I had to do some research to find the place. How many days would it take to pack and ship on Friday? That date is not when I will wait for delivery. Even after three weeks, my friend’s stuff hasn’t delivered, and I got an email from them stating that they had returned the money—but it took them a whole week to do so. From people’s money, what profits are they making to maintain this fake collection If I conducted my business in this manner, I would be bankrupt.
Though my online order was processed without any issues, I still needed to periodically check its progress. The order is en route, however, it will take some time to arrive, I was informed by two representatives. We learned that the merchandise vanished during shipment from a third agent, but there have been no updates as of now. I made a transaction, and after that, they were cool with taking my money and keeping it! Being lost in travel is a joke, and everything about it was a complete mess!
