Prompt and fewer bags.

Good and prompt delivery BUT TOO MANY HEAVY BAGS. I live in a retirement flat. I prefered it when you were able to deliver fewer bags.

Hello Customer, we do understand however we are dictated by courier companies and the cost of their services. Unfortunately the only way to remain competitively priced with a door to door delivery service is to offer a specific number of bags. Kind regards, EMWC

Poor product and poor service

Over the past six months, I've had nothing but trouble with the water softener that I purchased for £468.92 on 5th March 2024. Dozens of phone calls and emails failed to address the problem. The company agreed to a refund of £459.96 on 18th June 2024 however the actual amount refunded was only £413.97 claiming that this was in their T&C, this was contrary to the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for the return of faulty
goods.
No changes or adjustment were undertaken without instructions from "Andrew"EMWC technical department

I would not recommend this company.

We agreed to have your softener back as a gesture of goodwill, not based on a faulty unit. The unit proved to have had its settings changed (post manufacture) which explained some of the issues you had. We have sold thousands of these units and this was the first time we came across the issues you described. The manufacturer concurred that the units set up had been changed - whether intentionally or not. We tried to resolve this case as amicably as possible and our terms and conditions are clear. We are sorry you have been disappointed with the outcome but wish you well. Kind regards EMWC

Water Softener supplied by next day delivery and arrived well packed, including new hoses etc. After fitting everything seems to be working well.

Will definitely use again.

Thank you Peter. We try to be competitively priced but our biggest asset are our people who are just on the end of a phone for advice and assistance. Not something that you can get from all online suppliers. Best wishes EMWC

East Midlands Water Co WASTE OF TIME BAD SERVICE

East Midlands Water Co. only delivers through DPD who charge almost £9 for a delivery. The service is dreadful because you are given slot to wait fir delivery and many emails sent to say ...we are delivering etc... but they DO NOT DELIVER TO YOUR DOOR. You get a notice to say that it has been delivered to a pick up point which is NOT what you have paid for and is inconvenient and NOT what they advertised making you wait at home for delivery. MY item could have easily been put in my mail box as it was very small and I was home waiting anyway. When I complained to EMWC response was ... take it up with DPD... it is not our problem ... we did our bit..
WASTE OF TIME AND TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
EMWC showed no concern for the awful service I was experiencing with their awful delivery partner and the misinformation that they and DPD gave me and waste of time.

Hello Mr Miro, as always there are two sides to every story. You placed your order for a small part on our website. The automated system selects DPD/Fedex or other courier company based on your location. We have stopped using the Post Office/Parcelforce because they are very unreliable and deliveries can take up to 7 days or longer! If you had called us and asked specifically for us to use the Post Office we could have done this for you. Our customers are usually in a hurry to get their spares/replacement filters and so we use a next day delivery service which has to be handed over to the customer. The charge is the same whether you are receiving a very small part or a complete system. The nominated delivery point is something you have opted for with DPD and so they consider the order to be fulfilled. I am sorry you have had a bad experience on this occasion but please call us when you are ready for your replacement filters and we will ensure the correct delivery information is associated with your order. Kind regards EMWC

Avoid at all cost

I have been a customer of this company for 22 plus years and up till recently all worked reasonably well as there was no customer contact. I can only echo a number of other poor ratings following an awful experience when trying to contact them. I recently moved house and no longer require the filter services. I initially contacted the company and was told to call back a week later as there had been problems. I called back a week later and was told to email the Accounts Team. After a week or so I contacted again as there had been no reply to be told to submit the email again as the people worked from home and do not take calls. After a week or so no reply so I called again and demanded the MDs details, told they don't have one as they have retired. No managers apparently either. Everything must be done by email, so asked that I be contacted by the Accounts folk today. Unsurprisingly no call received so called again and insisted the issue was sorted. Finally spoke to an Accounts person who said that I had been given the wrong email address which is nonsense as no failure messages received and the contact could see my emails. I have a credit balance but will not be refunded but a credit left on the account should I wish to buy anything else. I would avoid this company at all cost as they will do anything to avoid dealing with customers and appear a completely shambolic organisation.

Hello Mr Melville, firstly can I thank you for your custom for the last 22 years. Your claim that there has been no customer contact is not true because we have religiously contacted you over the years when your filter was due for replacement. This contact has been via either telephone or letter and sometimes both. I can see that you first contacted us by email on Wednesday 7th August 2024. Your issue was finalised yesterday, Monday 19th August, just 8 working days later. The contract between ourselves is subject to terms and conditions which you accepted when you first purchased from us. We are not shambolic and I take exception to your description of this family run business. We aim to ensure everyone is treated fairly and with respect. I apologise if we did not get back to you more quickly than 8 working days. Kind regards EMWC

EMWC water softener purchase

Purchased a water softener from EMWC and they were so helpful on the telephone. Also any subsequent doubts or problems are sorted straight away in a friendly manner. Would thoroughly recommend this company.

Excellent advice and fast delivery. However, DPD delivery left it on our front door step when we were out instead of our safe place 🙄

I have been purchasing the undersink 40 for many years.The product is brilliant the difference in the drinking water with this filter is amazing’
We couldn’t do without it.
My filter lasts me approximately 3 years,as I use it for every thing not just drinking.
I couldn’t recommend this product more, anyone who purchased the filters from this company will be delighted with the product and the service their staff are extremely pleasant and knowledgeable a pleasure to deal will.
