Helpful & informative Sales Assistants

I recently went into the Ryman store in Union Street Glasgow . Both assistants, Ryan & Tracy were extremely helpful .
My experience with both Ryan & Tracy reminded me just what a valuable asset sales assistants are - something which cannot be replicated online . Thank you both ! I will definitely be back ( in person !) to this store .

I only got half of my order

I only got half of my order. I spoke to the shop and they said that they would reorder the missing piece, then I had an e-mail saying that I would get a refund, which I did get, so I was a bit confused. I went into the shop to check what was happening and they said that nothing was on order and to order the item again.

Good day Duncan

Thank you for your feedback regarding your recent order.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the confusion and inconvenience caused.

We have looked into this, and it appears that the missing item was unfortunately out of stock at the time. This is why a refund was automatically raised by our system instead of the replacement order the store team initially requested.

We are very sorry for the miscommunication between the store and our online systems, and for the frustration of having to visit the shop again to clarify the situation.

Many thanks

Ryman Bromsgrove on a Sunday… dreadful service

Ryman Bromsgrove on a Sunday afternoon..... absolutely miserable young guy behind the counter, no help at all, on his phone. I know the wages are rubbish, I know nobody that age wants to be working on a Sunday, but if you can't offer even the tiniest bit of politeness or customer service, get another job or do something else. Your employer and customers deserves better than that.

Just dont bother

Bought speed comfort radiator fan from these guys, product arrived quickly.
When I opened it the plug was damaged and the fans were dirty and product was clearly used also showing some yellowing of the white plastic.

Contacted customer support asks for pictures off the product which I provided and was advised they would liase with 3rd party company.

Took 2 weeks to get a return lable, sent proof of purchase and yold again will take 2-3 days as they wait to hear back from 3rd party re my refund. Still waiting for my money back.

Shocking customer service.

I have looked into your case and I can see one of my colleagues has already been in contact this morning, and processed a full refund for you.

Apologies again, but if you need anything further, please let us know.

Staggering levels of incompetence

If I could leave a zero I would. I have no idea how this company stay in business.
We ordered a suitcase from them. I had no idea they sold suitcases, but apparently they do. When it arrived they’d sent the wrong one.

I got in touch with them and told them this and asked them to send the correct one and pick up the incorrect one. They then advised me that the suitcase was now out of stock, so I asked for a refund. A day later they got back in touch to tell me that it was actually in stock, so they could send me the correct case after all. I asked them to confirm that they definitely had the case in stock, as it was getting quite urgent and I would need to purchase one from elsewhere if not. I was assured their system said they had it in stock.

They refused to send me the suitcase I’d actually ordered until they had the other one back. Whilst I do understand this, is was their mistake, so the correct thing to do (if a doorstep swap wasn’t an option) would be to process both concurrently and have a little faith in your customer that they actually will return the incorrectly delivered suitcase. Clearly I didn’t want that suitcase and had no issue for it (plus it was £47.99, so not exactly a fortune) Anyway, they asked me to pick a date for collection from options provided. I did. The next day they again asked me to pick a date from the options provided. I did again.

By this stage I was getting quite frustrated. I urgently needed the suitcase and couldn’t wait for them to waste days only to ask me the same question again (remember they won’t dispatch the case I actually ordered until they get this back). As a result I asked for it to be escalated to a manager.

The next day, a manager contacts me and essentially reiterates the same thing. Only they still hadn’t arranged the collection and my twice selected date is now not an option. The manager tells me the quickest option will be for me to take it to a store… why should I have to go to a store?! It was your mistake!

Anyway, I arrange a new collection date and when the case is collected I email them (as instructed) to ask them to process the despatch of my he actual case I ordered, which I’ve been assured will be expedited.

I don’t hear anything back until the next day… guess what!? They don’t have it in stock, so will be processing a refund.

The levels of incompetence are staggering.

Edit following reply - may I suggest that Ryman’s consider changing their internal policies then, so they aren’t penalising the customer further for their mistake. Also, serious staff training is definitely required given the mistakes made and that no two people seem to say the same thing.
