Every aspect of my experience with Daals has been incredibly stressful:
Delivery: Daals claim to give you 24 hours notice of delivery. What they actually do is send you a text in the middle of the day before they are planning to send you your order giving you 1.5 hours to cancel in the middle of the working day and threaten you with charging for delivery if you're not in. I called them as soon as I was able to within the working day - an hour and 20 minutes after they text - as I had a long-standing hospital appointment and wouldn't be in. They said it was too late (they'd given me less that two hours to reschedule ) and that I would be charged if I wasn't in. We ended up having to have family members rearrange their plans to sit in our house to accept delivery so we could attend our hospital appointment because of how unreasonably inflexible Daals were.
Returns: We ordered what we thought was some new dark wood furniture for our living room - when it arrived and we opened the box, it was cheap MDF wood with a dark wood plastic lacquer that was scratched and poorly glued together. We requested a refund on the basis that the items were defective. What ensued was a week of backwarding and forwarding from an array of different customer service representatives, none of whom would confirm that we could return the defective goods or would book a collection for us. We called repeatedly and not a single person would give us a straightforward answer about their returns process. At least five different customer representatives asked me to send photos, which I did, and then claimed they couldn't view them when, in their reply to me, forwarded back to me all the photos that I'd sent them in my previous email which they claimed they couldn't see! I had another Daals' employee email me with a product spec and asked me to unpack all the boxes again and specify - using their coding system - exactly which parts of each product were defective, in spite of another Daals' employee (eventually) confirming that the photos I'd sent were sufficient.
It took a whole week for someone to confirm that our defective items would be collected and gave us a ten day window for collection - which they failed to meet. Three weeks later and we are still awaiting collection - we have emailed and called Daals almost daily requesting our money back and at every turn their responses have been deliberately obstructive and intentionally designed to prevent us exercising our legal rights to return faulty goods. Today, my husband asked to speak to a manager and requested a copy of the recording of the call - the Daals' adviser put him on hold for 35 minutes before coming back on to say that there was no manager he could talk to. When my husband said that he was happy to wait, the Daals' representative said that she was terminating the call and hung up on him!!
I honestly cannot stress enough that you should NEVER order from these crooks. Their products are low quality and their customer service is corrupt and unlawful. Their behaviour has caused us a month of totally unnecessary stress and we are still no closer in getting our £500 back from them, in spite of our best efforts and willingness to return the goods to them.
They also seem to be operating illegally on Trustpilot as they are currently trading under daals.co.uk and daals.com - please do yourself a favour and read the customer experiences on the daals.com Trustpilot profile from UK customers, you will see a pattern of treatment of customers that reads exactly like what I've described above.
I really hope this review spares someone else having to go through what we have experienced.
