“Fairly average to be honest, described as a top quality product but no better than others out there- cheap plastic- not brass internals as described! Expensive postage for what was a very average/ poor delivery time. For what I cost I would expect priority 24 hour service, not 5 days!!!!!”

Hi Ian, Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you feel this way. I’ve looked into the product description and I’m afraid I can’t see any reference to the ‘brass internals’ that you have mentioned, I’m sorry about that. This product comes in a chrome finish only. We aim to despatch orders within 48 hours from our supplier and we currently advise delivery within 3-5 working days as per our 'Delivery’ section on our website. I can see that you placed your order on the 12th of August. Your order was despatched the next day on the 13th of August and was delivered to you on the 18th of August which was within our delivery timeframes. We always request our customers to get in touch if they are unhappy with their products. We are more than happy to replace any items with a suitable alternative or arrange a collection and a full refund as per our 90 days returns policy. If you’d like to discuss the above any further, please contact us and we’ll happily assist you. I apologise for any inconvenience that was caused by this. Kind regards, Alice

“Quality and design is great. I purchased Essentials Pacific quadrant enclosure (900x900) together with matching shower tray and plinth. This was a second choice as I wanted a 1000 x 900 off-set quadrant set. I assumed from the drawings on the Matalan web site that the plinth set included a platform on which the shower tray sat. None of the drawings showed a plinth for the 1000 x900. It was only when I opened the packaging on Saturday last that the plinth set only consists of a number of legs and a moulded facia. I am really disappointed that the web site was not explicit in this regard. I even spoke to a young lady in customer support about my needs but she seemed to be rather vague about the products.”

Hi Ronald, Thank you for your feedback. We’re extremely sorry to hear this. We always aim to provide the most accurate and up to date information on our product pages and we cannot apologise enough if you feel that this wasn’t the case here. The product description states that the six legs and the curved plinth only are included, and does not mention that a platform would be supplied. On looking at the image displayed on our website I can see why you may have felt this. I have passed this onto our website content team to see if we can make this clearer. We always encourage customers to get in touch with us if they are not satisfied with their items so that we can organise a suitable replacement or issue a refund as per our 90 days returns policy. We look forward to discussing this further and to resolving this issue with you so that you are happy with the outcome. Kind regards, Alice

Hi Vicky, We are very sorry for the experience that you’ve received. We aim to provide the most accurate product information possible on our website, however I apologise if you feel as though this wasn’t the case with your product. I’m glad that we were able to resolve this by sending you two different basins so that you could compare these and choose your preferred basin. We are truly sorry that you’ve received damaged products, this is not the level of service that we'd like to provide to our customers. We always ask that customers contact us if their product is not in perfect condition and we’re always happy to organise a suitable replacement in these cases. We apologise profusely for this trouble Vicky and we hope that the discount that has been arranged for you reflects how sorry we are. If we can do anything else for you, please do contact us and we’ll happily help you further. Kind regards, Alice

“Very disappointed by spending over £335 to be charged £16.99 for a two man delivery when it (towel rail) was delivered by one man with ease. I should have been given free delivery on a lite item.”

“It was delivered on the correct day and the driver was very polite and efficient. We were so pleased to find the shower head on your web site as we were finding it very difficult to locate. Service was very good and would strongly recommend this web site to anyone”

“Matalan Direct or Earth Bathrooms as they appear to be called have got to be one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with. Ordered a disabled toilet package doc m pack. Expected delivery within a few days especially as it had been dispatched and stated delivery in 1-2 working days, here we are almost 2 weeks on and still no delivery. Apparently they don't have any delivery drivers in Scotland and can't have it here until 24th of August only 18days after ordering! Order has been cancelled and have a replacement arriving tomorrow!”

Hi Emma We aim to despatch orders from our warehouse within 1-2 working days and deliver between 3-5 working days. I can’t apologise enough for the length of time you have been waiting. We did everything we could to get your order to you as soon as possible. The delay is due to availability of drivers in your area and we are looking into this to improve our service. Further to our telephone conversation I've cancelled your order and issued your refund which will clear in your account in due course. Once again we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by this delay and thank you for your patience. If there is anything else we can do for you please let us know. Many thanks John

“Bought a toilet, which was sent to us in a box, but without the cistern. Called the customer care team to discover the cistern isn't being re-stocked for 25 days. No idea why one was sent without the other.”

“Phoned to cancel my order and was told this would be dealt with and payment refunded. Next day received email to say order had been dispatched. Phoned Matalan and was told just to refuse delivery when it arrived. First delivery attempt courier went to wrong house, next delivery attempt I refused item as instructed then received email saying sorry we missed you your item is at local store to be collected. 10 days later still waiting for my refund that was promised!”

Hi Jenny Thank you for your feedback. I have looked into this for you. We aim to despatch all orders within 48hrs of the order being place. When you contacted us to cancel your order had already been despatched from our warehouse. I'm really sorry that this hasn’t turned out as simple as refusing the delivery. Our couriers have advised us they received a request to deliver on an alternative day and then a subsequent request to take the delivery to your local DPD collection point. I have left you voicemail. Please contact our customer service team to advise how you would like to proceed. If you require a refund we can process this for you as soon as possible. Once again I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your patience. Kind regards John
