A-Frame Walker purchase.

Recently bought an A-Frame Walker from St Helens branch.
Received excellent service from a young female assistant, who showed us a variety of walkers.
Very happy using the A-Frame and feels sturdy and comfy to sit on. Like the fact that the brake cables are within the frame.
Only complaint is carrying it when folded. There's no fastening of any kind to hold it together and it tends to partially open up again. Also there is no comfortable hand hold to pick it up. Dropped 1 star for this. Otherwise very satisfied.

My mobility scooter was picked up for a…s

My mobility scooter was picked up for a service on the 10th of may and was informed that it would take 2 days on the 12th I received a call from the engineer informing me that it would need new batteries as they were only holding 50% charge he went on to say it’s really fast and was a great scooter at this time I informed him I didn’t have the funds at this time and requested it’s return. He informed me that he didn’t have a vehicle and wouldn’t be able to return it until Tuesday I agreed to this.
On Tuesday 16th I received a call that he needed to pick up my charger and that they didn’t have one that size? On Thursday 18th I called the shop talking to members of staff put me through to the workshop where I was informed he had the motor in bits on the bench I asked why he told me he was cleaning it?called again on Friday to be told that it’s now coming up with a engine fault and would need a new engine that’s going to cost £600, I had cleaned it and checked everything was working ok there wasn’t a fault when it was picked up. Finally returned on 23rd Tuesday in a unsafe and very dangerous condition as all the battery lug covers had not been replaced or on 100amp trip fuse
I was ask to sign for it but didn’t as they didn’t have any paperwork to say what’s was carried out on the service or my receipt

excellent customer service

Martin was helpful and had excellent product knowledge, to be served in such a way is a rarity these days. We bought 2 Wrenbury recliners which were delivered 6 days later by Terry and Bill who went through the operating process after assembling and positioning the chairs, they were so helpful and are a credit to the company.

Very poor customer service

My mum bought a riser recliner with a double motor which lasted less than 3 years! Instead of paying £200 for a new motor she decided to buy a new chair. This chair started to go wrong after 6 months and was still under warranty. The engineer came and took a video of the problem and said they would sort it out. Unfortunately after making multiple phone calls every week for months they have still not fixed or replaced the chair despite requesting an engineer since March. My mum has very limited mobility and this service is unacceptable. I would not recommend.

Poor quality product?

Purchased a £500 + reclining chair for my elderly infirm uncle 16 months ago. He is 10 stone wet through. He complained that it was making a clanking noise when reclining. On examination I found a snapped bolt under the chair. Contacted Ableworld asking for a replacement bolt. Was politely informed an engineer would have to come out. £60 call out plus parts. Politely declined. I will source a £2 bolt and fit it myself. Inferior quality product? Poor service? You tell me!

Hello Steve,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback, all feedback is appreciated. We are saddened to hear your comments and we apologise that we did not meet your expectations on this instance. I have tried to have a look into this for you with the engineering team but I am struggling to find your details. If possible, please could you send your details over to support@ableworld.co.uk, including, date of purchase, what store it was bought at and your postcode that would be great. If you also provide a brief description of your problem as well this would be great. Our team will be happy to investigate this further for you.

We look forward to hearing from you,
