Waste of money, time and space

Bought a cordless hedge trimmer in June 2023 and only used it a couple of months before storing it for winter. Got it out this week (July) and it wasn't working properly. The contact numbers on the Terratek website are incorrect. When I finally got the correct details they replied with a generic message. Tried again, same message. They are a waste of time, not interested in after sales care, now I know why their products are cheap, you get what you pay for.

How on earth do you get through to…

How on earth do you get through to these people? Do they even exist?

I purchased a cordless screwdriver through Amazon and it's great but I recently lost the charger. As my screwdriver was originally from Futura Direct, I thought I'd contact them to see if they could sell me a replacement charger. A simple yes or no question.

When you phone, you can't speak to anyone, they just give you an email address. When you send them an email, you just get a robotic "we can't locate your order, suggest you double check with the seller"

I actually want to spend money with these people if they sell a replacement charger, but they seem completely incapable of being able to deal with a simple request. I love my screwdriver, but I can't use it as it's out of charge and no-one at their distribution office is either willing or capable of advising me how to get a replacement.

Hopeless

Hi Paul, Sorry for the issues you have had, we do not sell the charger for this item. You would need to purchase the full item again. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Excellent customer service

4 months after purchasing a product from Futura Direct I realised I didn’t have an instruction manual.
I contacted them & received a duplicate manual within 24 hrs.
I would recommend.

Happy customer

We bought an item called the Purus King size Electric blanket from Futura and after about six months it stopped working. The Blanket was still under warranty so I emailed Futura regarding this. There were no quibbles and within a few days we received a replacement. We were very happy with the outcome and the pace at which the company acted to keep the customer happy.
