Great customer service at Sofatime!
Fantastic experience ordering our new sofa. Tanya at the Newtownabbey store talked us through different options, not only for the sofa itself but payment and interest free options. She was very friendly and courteous, offering us tea/coffee while we sat together discussing everything. Would highly recommend Sofatime. Can't wait for our delivery. Thank you Tanya!

No contact, no delivery date. Promised 7-10 days
We bought a corner suite on the 2nd of January with Adam in the Boucher Road store. He couldn’t make the sale quickly enough. Advised us that the sofa was in stock, including console and delivery would be arranged in 7-10 days. I called the store around 8 times throughout the course of the day on 7th January to speak with Adam as we have heard nothing regarding delivery and was advised by a colleague that Adam was not in today but he assured me he would ask him to call me first thing on the 8th January. Well, as suspected, no call was received. I’ve called today, 9th January several times and no answer. I’ve also emailed customer care, with no response.
We are aware that delivery to our location is Wednesday and Thursday only. We are a two adult home who both work and need to take time off work to receive our new purchase. We need forewarning. We were also made aware that once it’s at the warehouse, they will need to get it gone as they don’t have the space to store additional suites. Disappointed is an understatement. The company were more than happy to take our money and make a quick sale but we are no further forward in understanding when we will receive our new sofa, nor can we arrange disposal of our current sofa.

Jonny in Newtownabbey- Amazing customer service.
Jonny in Newtownabbey was amazing and so helpful in us finding our dream sofa. Was super chatty and friendly and kept us really well informed and dealt with any queries we had. We were in other sofa places and were ignored where as Jonny came over to us straight away and was really helpful. Thank you so much Jonny 🙂

Don’t delivery when promised and zero communications.
Really poor customer service. Ordered a sofa in October promised guaranteed delivery by Xmas. Zero communications through the 2 months and received a bland email a week before Xmas saying it won’t be delivered until January now. The showroom, was supposed to contact me with more details, heard nothing. Lies to get the sales, zero communications. I would avoid.

Invisible customer service
Shocking customer service, we have left numerous messages. When we do get through they lie about visits. Terrible company.

Non existent customer service
I along with my sister have been attempting to get in touch with sofatime regarding an outstanding credit note that they owe to our elderly mother. We have sent emails and left answer message calls to their customer services phone number. This has covered a two week period and still no response. We have also previously been back to the shop where the bed was purchased but they direct us to the company email/telephone number. The customer service number is going straight to answer service despite phoning within the advertised opening hours
Edit. As noted in the reply from Sofatime they eventually got back in touch and sorted for issue which is appeciated despite the hassle we had to go through.
