Poor customer service refunds
Bought a toaster and a kettle off coffee friend, after 2 weeks the toaster broke down so I contacted coffee friend for instructions for a refund.
Informed I needed to send a video of the faulty toaster showing it was not working,i explained I was not computer savvy and wanted to send it back for a refund.They replied on insisting I send a video before considering next step. Had to ask a friend to help me send the video to which coffee friend then replied would I like a replacement ,no mention of a refund . Only when I replied again they finally issued a refund.As for the toaster itself (chiato) nearly £60 its no better than a £20 one from Asda .As you guessed won't be using coffee friend again

Delivery and two pin plug
The delivery took over double the expected delivery window and while they did respond to the emails they did not explain why my order was delayed.
Also the coffee machine came with a a two pin plug and uk adapter, which was not clear when I ordered and it makes the plug slot more bulky.

Fine till something goes wrong
I have used coffee friend in the past and had no issues but when an issue does arise, how the company handles this is a true reflection of them in the long term to develop customer loyalty.
As mentioned I have ordered from them in the past and had the order delivered with no problems.
My last order I got the delivery notification from Royal Mail and noticed in the picture that it wasn’t my property. I immediately called coffee friend who said they would email me a form.
No form arrived but instead I was told that I need to wait 7 working days before they can put a claim into Royal Mail.
In the meantime I contacted Royal Mail who stated that the gps tracking doesn’t match up so she would put through a retrieval request to the local office for redelivery. This failed so she gave me a case number to pass over to coffee friend as ultimately they are responsible for resolving this swiftly.
I passed over this information and was told I still needed to wait the 7 working days.
This has passed and I have been told that now it could be another 30 days (which I believe to be an unreasonable amount of time) and what they will do about it will be based on what the courier says (which would be against their legal obligation to ensure the delivery of paid goods as my contact is with them and not Royal Mail).
Hopefully they will review their process as this is very anti consumer and if they do state they won’t do anything then I’ll have to take it up with my credit card provider but hopefully it doesn’t come to that.
If there is a swift update from coffee friend that changes my experience then I will of course update.
However I think it is in the interest of others to see how this company handles things going wrong.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologize for the frustration and inconvenience this situation has caused.
We completely understand how disappointing it is when a delivery issue occurs, especially after your previous positive experiences with us. While we must follow the courier's investigation process in cases like this, we appreciate that the waiting time can feel unreasonable.
Please be assured that your case is being monitored by our team, and we will contact you as soon as we receive the investigation results to provide an appropriate resolution. Thank you for your patience and for bringing your feedback to our attention, as it helps us improve our processes.
Poor product
This machine isn’t very good. I have tried making soft ice cream and cola slushies as per the instructions and none of them turned out close to what they were meant to be be. I am trying to return this at the moment and they are refusing to send return instructions. I’ve only had it a week and it isn’t fit for purpose so beware before buying.
Company got back in touch and still not willing to give return instructions so be very wary of this company.

Competitive price but poor communication
Coffee Friend is a great website to find coffee machines and any products dedicated to coffee.
The prices are very competitive, and you always get some freebies.
But unfortunately lack of communication and delays in delivery killed a little bit the experience.
I ordered a coffee machine to replace mine and while it was indicated to be delivered in 3-5 days it took over two weeks. No communication and when I asked the customer services they basically said the product was out of stock and they were waiting to receive new ones.
I ordered it thinking it was in stock.
So go there for competitive prices but be ready to wait for you coffee machine.
