New bed purchase from Downtown

We bought a new bed from Downtown, superb service and knowledge from Phalen, we were very grateful for her valuable input.

Paid for delivery with set up and clearance by the team and they did a great job. I would highly recommend this service.

Hi Maxine
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
We are genuinely sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the item you purchased, and do not believe it is fit for purpose.
However, as explained in our previous correspondence, there appears to be no fault with the item. While we appreciate that it did not meet your expectations, once an item has been used, we are unable to accept it back for a refund unless it is found to be faulty, as we can no longer sell it as new. This is in line with legislation, our returns policy, and reflects the approach taken by the majority of retailers.
We understand this was not the outcome you were hoping for but thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
Kind regards,
Tracey

I love the curtains

I love the curtains, they look wonderful. I worried that they would appear a little dark due to the design. They don't, they really work with the lightness of the material. Perfect fit.

The parcel arrived promptly, all in order.

Late delivery

The products arrived and they were fine, but I experienced a 2+ month delay in getting them.

Hi,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
I'm pleased to hear that you were happy with the products you received.
I'm sorry that your order took longer to arrive than either of us would have liked. Unfortunately, due to shipping delays affecting the supplier the stock was delayed arriving with us and I can see your order wasn't delivered until 6th June to yourself.
I appreciate that this was disappointing, and I apologise for the delay. We always do our best to keep customers updated whenever circumstances outside of our control affect delivery times.
Thank you for your patience, and we hope you enjoy your purchase.
Kind regards,
Tracey

We were looking at buying 2 sofa's

We were looking at buying 2 sofa's, had already been to a couple of other stores when we went to Downtown, the quality and price were good and the staff Lilia and Peter could not have been more helpful. Very pleased with the Sofa’s and the delivery, all in all great service.

Great customer care and service

We were really pleased with the buying of our G-Plan sofa and chair, from the initial chats with the sales assistants to the delivery and set-up.
There was no hard sell and all our needs, and wants, were considered. The sales assistants were genuine, extremely personable, and knowledgeable about the products in their department.
The delivery men were polite, friendly, and took great care with installing our purchases.

Best customer service ever!!

Literally one of, if not the, best customer service I have ever experienced. Personable, understanding and efficient. Had an issue with a product I purchased online. Could easily speak to a person, they were so friendly and helpful and my issue was resolved quickly. Highly recommend.

Wouldn't shop here again

Wouldn't shop here again, we were not informed that they would only deliver to our area on a certain day, only found this out when delivery was being arranged. They suggested I leave the garden open, as if you would when it is furniture being delivered!!! After having to rearrange work to accommodate their delivery date, was informed by the man in the delivery department that if I was unable the accept the delivery the following week it would go back to the warehouse and I would have to wait another 8 weeks, we had already waited 10 weeks, he also said it was nothing to do with him and I would have to speak to the sales team if I'm unhappy! So very helpful of him. My suggestion would be to checkout their delivery date prior to placing any orders or you could always go where customer service is still valued.

Price match Mattress

We chose a Mattress in store but ordered it online a couple of weeks later with a price match promise.
Our dealings with Tracey were first rate and she sorted delivery at a convenient time for us. We were kept updated of timings and the delivery was made efficiently at the allotted time.
Wouldn’t hesitate to use Downtown again.
