Disappointing Customer Service

Bought an ex-display outdoor set on 30 August after checking its condition in store. A week later, set arrived without any protection and had new extensive deep scratches, likely caused during delivery.

I contacted support. No response but 2 days later get a text asking to confirm a delivery slot. No further info. Two hours before second delivery was due was notified that the delivery was cancelled. Never told what it actually was.

After a month and several follow-ups, I have received no response whatsoever or resolution.

Extremely disappointing customer service and experience. Think twice before purchasing from here.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re genuinely sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had with your ex-display outdoor set. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating this must have been, particularly after you had checked the condition in store, only for the set to arrive with additional scratches and then experience further issues with the delivery and communication.

We’re also sorry that you’ve had to follow up several times without receiving a clear response or resolution. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers.

We are reaching out to you directly so we can further investigate what has happened, understand where things have gone wrong, and work towards making this right for you.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope to have the opportunity to address your concerns.

Kind Regards,
White Stores Team

Wonderful service

After viewing the product in the Milton Keynes branch and then checking dimensions on our decking I ordered over the phone with Derek at Milton Keynes who was very friendly and efficient. The communication following the order was excellent and delivery was much quicker than we had originally been advised. We are very impressed with White Stores and our new outdoor furniture

We had really good service from White Stores in Trafford park. The sales team were great (and I’m someone who doesn’t like to be pounced on in a shop). We also had a problem with one of the items when it was delivered and it was sorted out very well. The quality and look seems to be excellent

Spent close to £2000 for a dining set of table and chairs. As we were assembling the table, screws were missing.
Had to wait another 5-10 days for just screws to come.
Wasted a day from work and Air Tasker money
Absolutely shocked and disappointed

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

We’re genuinely sorry for the frustration and inconvenience caused by the missing fixings, particularly after such a significant purchase and having to wait for the replacement screws. We completely understand how disappointing this must have been, especially as you also had to take time away from work and incur additional costs to get the issue resolved.

We can see that, as you were unable to wait any longer for the fixings to be sent, our team arranged to reimburse you for the cost of the fixings you sourced yourself so that you could get the issue resolved without any further delay.

As an additional gesture of goodwill and as an apology for the inconvenience caused, we have also provided you with £100 store credit.

While we appreciate that this does not undo the inconvenience you experienced, we hope that the resolution and goodwill gesture demonstrate how seriously we have taken your concerns and our commitment to putting things right.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Kind Regards,
White Stores Team

Issue with a recent order

I had an issue with a recent order that I placed, one of the items was faulty. However, I contacted the Customer Services Team via email. Angel Yap dealt with my query and resolved it very quickly and the replacement for the faulty item is being dispatched as we speak. Great service👍

Excellent product at a reasonable price

Excellent product at a reasonable price. Whole process from ordering to delivery straightforward. The guy delivering went the extra mile to ensure he handed us our order - unlike some companies who just drop it on your doorstep and run- often not even ringing the door bell or knocking on the door. Yes Amazon I’m writing about you!

Recently ordered a set of Nova sunbed covers . The order was dispatched straight away , but was delayed by the courier, no fault of the company .
I contacted White Stores , who were amazing. They checked on my delivery daily and kept up updated , even to the point of delivery .
I can really recommend White Stores , a company that cares for their customers.

Otto White Nutcracker

I've been looking for a white nutcracker for years. I finally found Otto and I am absolutely delighted! Great quality and very easy to assemble. I couldn't bear to put him away until Christmas so he already stands pride of place in my living room.
Great communication regarding delivery.
Thank you White Stores!

Big issue over delivery

Big issue over delivery, now sorted.
But you still won’t change my customer name, constantly referring to me as John Hester. My name is Keith Hester!
