They just want your money, no professionalism

I’m absolutely disgusted with the service I’ve received. I placed an order for an oven/grill/hob on a Monday, and when I called on Thursday to check the status, I was told it wasn’t in stock. The man said he’d call the supplier and get back to me — but of course, he never did.

By Saturday, I had already submitted a cancellation and refund request online because of the complete lack of communication. Then, on Tuesday, an oven suddenly showed up at my door — and not even the one I ordered! Without any consultation or approval, they decided to send me a completely different brand and model.

The oven they sent might look similar, but it’s not the same size. My kitchen cabinets were custom-built to fit the specific oven I originally ordered, and the one they delivered didn’t fit at all. Because I had an upcoming trip and couldn’t deal with the return process (and wasn’t sure how long a refund would take), I had no choice but to keep it and pay out of pocket to modify all my kitchen cabinets.

This company has caused me unnecessary stress, wasted my time, and cost me extra money — all because of their lack of honesty and professionalism. It’s unacceptable to replace a customer’s order with a different product without even asking.

I will be sharing this experience on every Facebook group and review platform I can so others don’t go through the same nightmare.

This is not a fair and accurate review and version of events! Order placed, we asked our supplier to ship the ordered item out to this customer. Customer asked to cancel AFTER the item has been shipped. The first we then hear that the customer has received a different oven is this review?!

No calls, no emails to us to say a different oven has been shipped - this sounds like a mistake by our supplier and if that is the case we would jump on it to get it swapped out.

Left message for the customer to try and resolve..

Mistakes happen but we need to know about them to resolve it!

Item Not Held in Stock. 7 weeks an waiting.

Call before placing order. As ordered online and the item has been on back order with Garmin for nearly twice months. Have emailed a few times and no response to emails. Only by phone. 2 weeks ago saying it was due in but still nothing.

Reputable business that always answered the phone

Reputable business that always picked up the phone when I called. Losing a star because shipping was stressful. Tracking was not sent for some time and I ended up receiving a call from a truck driver to say my delivery was outside without any notice, which could have been avoided if I had known when delivery would have been, TCS did make the best efforts to track down tracking for me and always apologised, its third party supplier appeared not to have supplied tracking. In the end happy with the product, although I would have expected a British plug!

Simple

The site is easy to navigate and they had everything I needed. Ordered it online and picked it up a couple of days later. Ordered was packed and ready to go when I showed at the warehouse.

Brilliant customer service!

Having been let down by another company, the staff at TCS went above and beyond the norm to get the antifoul paint I needed in time. That included getting the paint in from their own supplier and despatching it promptly. In fact they only got the paint in on the Friday and I had it by 8.30 on Saturday. Brilliant service! My very grateful thanks to the very helpful and knowledgeable team at the depot.

Zero customer service

Don't answer the phone. Don't respond to email. 3 weeks apparently to deliver some hatches. Albeit I don't have them yet and have been given two different dates. Will never use again.

Took nearly 3 weeks for delivery when on the sale invoice it said 22nd Nov -27th Nov having purchased on the 20th Nov. Now delivered 05th Dec. The item wasn't posted until 03rd December so it wasn't the fault of the delivery company. No communication from TCS about delay. Will now consider obtaining wiper motors, covers, blades and control switches elsewhere which is nearly £400 order!!!
