Simply the Best

I never use anyone else now for my electrical goods. Just purchased a TV, fridge freezer and dishwasher from HBH. Great prices, and even better service. Delivered on time as promised and by friendly and willing staff. Even though the appliances were on the first floor, they didn't bat an eyelid. I had a minor technical hitch setting up the smart TV, but a very brief call to the friendly team at Coypool resolved the issued.
Once again 10/10 to everyone at HBH Plymouth. Faultless service.

The telly kept turning itself on from standby

We purchased a new television which was delivered and installed by Woolacotts with their usual efficiency, however, there was a faulty on/off switch which meant the television kept turning on from standby.
I contacted Woolacotts who offered to check it out and soon found the problem.
They replaced the television very efficiently, this was much appreciated

I would not use anyone else

Our dishwasher packed up on the morning of New Year's Eve. By lunchtime on 2 January Woolacotts in Bude had delivered and fitted a new appliance and taken the old one away. Outstanding service, thank you.

Audio Technica LP120XBTUSB

I’d been thinking about investing in a turntable for a couple of years with our vinyl collection just sitting in boxes. Popped into their St Austell branch and treated myself to the Audio Technica LP120X turntable for my birthday. On setting it up on New Years Day I found that the box with the turntable inside was incorrectly labelled. The turntable inside wasn’t the Bluetooth version which was what I needed to connect it to our Bluetooth speaker in the living room.

I made a quick phone call to Darren at their Plymouth store to explain the issue. He couldn’t have been more helpful! Rang me back within a few minutes to confirm that they had a replacement available if I wanted to pop over. The issue wasn’t theirs, it was a warehouse labelling issue.

Headed over an hour later, swapped the turntable for the right one. Within 10 minutes of getting home the turntable was all set up and connected to our speaker!

Superb, warm sound! So simple to set up. And faultless service from Darren and his team. Will definitely be shopping locally again for electrical and audio equipment!

Helpful local company

My washing machine packed up following the recent power cuts (Storm Darragh) and another well known electrical chain wanted 2 weeks to deliver a new machine even though it was in stock. HBH Woolacotts could deliver within 3 days from their St Austell store. I contacted Customer Services to ask for delivery instructions to be added and received a response within 30 minutes. Within an hour of placing the order I had my delivery date. On the day of delivery I had to request the delivery was changed due to South West Water being on site digging up drains (unexpected!). That was no problem and delivery arranged for Monday. Delivery team turned up within the time specified and were polite and helpful. Answered all my questions. it was such a pleasure to deal with a helpful company who are local and have a local customer service team who respond quickly. The flexibility with the last minute change of delivery was amazing. I will definitely be back to purchase from this company in the future.

New Washing machine

We purchased a new washing machine, on Tuesday, from Launceston, it was delivered and installed on Saturday.
The installation crew were excellent. The old machine was removed and the new one installed in super quick time. The crew, Adam and Kieran were superb, and so polite. We have had a television, double oven and now a washing machine delivered and installed by HBH Woolacotts and all the crews have been excellent.

Outstanding customer service!

My parents had to buy a new tv and went to woolacotts Bude. They said delivery would be Monday but as they knew my parents and that in their 80s they relied on the tv they would deliver the same afternoon and set up everything for them. I cannot express how grateful I am and they are for such kindness!!! Thank you so much. I love that there are still shops that help the people in their community. Wish there were more

Flawless Customer Service

If you want something cheaper you could probably find it elsewhere but for customer service, I don't think you can beat HBH Woolacotts.

The staff at H B H Woolacotts in St AUSTELL

The staff at H B H Woolacotts in St. Austell have gone above and beyond with their customer service. The guys that installed our double oven did a great job, showed us how it worked and came back to upgrade the electrical cable on a second visit. This branch was recommended to us by a very satisfied neighbour and we will be more than happy to do the same. Thank you team!

Speedy and Efficient Service

Our office monitor decided to stop working, so ordered a new 50" LG Smart TV on line at 9.15am, and it was delivered by 11am.
We have used HBH on many occasions in the past, and have always received the best service you would want. Most of our kitchen appliances at home are purchased from HBH, and when our customers require larger CCTV monitors, we always purchase these from here too.
Very highly recommended.

Demo, purchase and installation LG G4 77”

Went to the Royal County Showground in Wadebridge for HB Woolacotts HiFi/Home Cinema show. Very impressed with the LG G4 77” which we subsequently purchased. Many thanks to Geoff (Branch Manager) for his extensive knowledge and the young lad demonstrating the TV (sorry didn’t get your name!) Very impressed with Sean and Matt (Plymouth store) who punctually arrived, installed our new TV, explained how it worked (no mean feat as we have separate HiFi/Home Cinema components linked into the TV) and above all left no mess! Thank you guys! Absolutely stunning TV!

Great review of customer experience

Had an issue with a repair that was long standing, however spoken with the store manager at St Austell ‘Tony’ very nice man and very apologetic to our situation and took responsibility and ownership. Very nice guy and felt that our issue was acknowledged, thank you and I would ensure that we return as customers. Really appreciate the phone call back to listen to our experience that’s extremely good customer service.
