Amazing Suzie boosted this review

I ordered a product and paid for nominated day delivery, this close to Xmas you can't be to careful, 2 weeks passed no product no delivery updates so I emailed their customer services, I got a response from Suzie she couldn't understand why it hadn't been shipoed and told me she would look into this. Later that day I had a reply from her they were having to shop from a store but there was a shortage in supply so please bear with them she refunded my postage and gave me a very reasonable discount for next order! A few days passed another email from Suzie and the product had been shipoed tracking details were supplied brilliant.
A week passed thought hang on not received goods checked tracking returned to shop insufficient address grrrrrr.
So popped another email over to Suzie she contacted the shop and then parcel force parcel force said they had attempted delivery but no one there I found this amusing as I'd been in all week and every other parcel had arrived before their due date she found this amusing I re confirmed my address, Suzie stated as soon the shop recieves the package it will be sent straight back out this was Thursday today (Monday) I finally received my package.
Thank you so much for all your help Suzie you're the only reason this is a 5 star review! You went out of your way to help me and I pray that your company have many customer service people like you!!!

Dear Claire

I'm sincerely sorry to hear that you have had a disappointing experience with us on Down Your High Street. Unfortunately I haven't got your details to look into this properly for you. You did mention that you'd emailed us and I can only apologise if your message had been missed.

I hope that you will provide me with some details so that we can look into what went wrong and use it as a learning experience.

Kind regards

I ordered through down your highstreet…

I ordered through down your highstreet and The DJ Shop The DJSHOP SOUTHAMPTON UK is the worst place you can think of spending your money. I have purchased numerous items from westenddj and they have been courteous and mannerly, they’ve provided excellent after care as well. My story begins 11 months ago when RANE DJ released their Rane one controller. I was the first amongst 5 other Dj friends to see and order this controller. On Feb 16th I placed my order from the djshop southampton.... I was told they’ll be available on the 21st March. Excitedly I awaited the arrival of my new controller. For which I also paid for next day delivery.
About a week after my controller was due to arrive I CALLED to ask what was the update, I was told there’s a month delay. I accepted this, a month and 2 weeks later I CALLED for an update to thick I was told there’s a further delay, Barr in mind I’ve paid close to £1500 for the controller.
Every month I WOULD CALL, and be given a new expected date of arrival, fast forward to September when I made my now routine check, I was told that I’m 2nd in the queue of people waiting and hopefully by mid September I’d have the controller. At the end of September I CALLED AGAIN, I was told I’m 9th in the queue and I’d hopefully get one if RANE DJ sends enough units. October I call yet again on the 20th I was told they’ve landed in Europe and I’ll have it by the 24th, I called back on the November 1st and I was told by nov 14th, I CALLED BACK on the 24th of November I was told they’ve just landed in Europe and it would take 2 weeks, I asked why they’re giving me the run around because I was told this a month ago ,and for some reason the employee was agitated and raised his voice... I replied DO NOT RAISE YOUR F@^$ING VOICE AT ME... he hung up. NOVEMBER 30th 2021 10:00am ( their opening time) my phone rings “ do you still want the controller you’ve ordered because they’re now in” I replied “ of course I still want the controller” he replied “ well you don’t call and swear at people on the phone” I replied “ big man do you appreciate I’ve spent my money since March..... he cuts me off by saying “ ok I’ll cancel the order, I’ve given you the chance to apologise for swearing and you didn’t so I’ll just cancel the order” and hangs up the phone.

THE END

Love this website

I love the idea of DownYourHighStreet, it really gives local retailers the chance to get their shops out there to everyone! Also my order was super easy to place and I received it quickly and with no problems at all! I would definitely recommend DownYourHighStreet!

A couple of my orders were fine but one…

A couple of my orders were fine but one took my payment then decided they couldn’t post it as it was a wine glass . They refunded me after 5 days but why they sold wine glasses on line I don’t know as they have to post them anyway , I will not shop there again .

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS WEBSITE

I recently purchased quite a few orders from different retailers from this website. Although a couple of the orders were ok. I did find the products cheaper elsewhere. This is not the reason for my 1 star. The reason for only 1 star is because I purchased 2 “supposedly” authentic crystal gem rollers (for Christmas presents) but when they arrived, after 3 weeks they were flimsy, in the same packaging with no explanation about the 2 separate crystals and one of the was bent and therefore faulty. I contacted the retailer and she replied that she was sorry for the delay (no apology for the faulty item) and that if I wasn’t happy with the goods I could return them but I had to pay for the postage. When I replied back twice she never got in contact with me again. Her name was Nicola and the company was called The Voewood. I have recently sent a message to Down Your High Streets Customer Care as they have no telephone lines up and running at the moment. They have yet to respond to my email. I sent all relevant correspondence including the messages sent to the retailer. I am currently out of pocket by £47.99 hence why I would recommend to stay clear of this website and order elsewhere as I can’t see my issue being resolved not my refund for my goods.

Dear AC

I'm so sorry to hear about your experience with us on Down Your High Street. This certainly isn't the service that you should expect from us.

I've sent you a request for more information as we would like to look into what's happened here. Unfortunately I can't find any messages from you either so it will be very helpful for us to at least have your email address so that we can also see if there's a fault with our customer support service.

Kind regards

Not great

I ordered and paid for some shoes, the transaction was cancelled and my money returned and I was offered no explanation. Not the best experience.

Hi Giles
I'm really sorry to hear about your experience on DYHS. It's certainly not the service that you should expect from us.
I'd like to know a little more about your order so that I can look into this for you. We rely on our retailers contacting customers to let them know if they can't fulfil an order, however, sometimes they do ask our customer support team to do this on their behalf. I'd like to find out where the communication has broken down so that we can learn from it.
Once again, please accept our apologies that we have let you down on this occasion.
Kind regards

Hermes strikes again

Hermes strikes again! Delivered my parcel to the wrong house but DownYourHighStreet customer service was very good. Will try ordering again and hope I actually get the parcel.
