“I had an awful experience with this company. Huge delays in deliveries whilst the website indicates in stock and next day. No follow-up email to say "sorry your items are not in stock". Just radio silence leaving you to think you have been scammed! It took over 3 months to finally fulfil my order!
Along the way there were damages, lost orders (which means you have to wait 7 days before they will do anything), and a very rigid refund policy leaving you with items you cannot return!
Eventually the products do turn up and are good quality, but the customer experience along the way is truly awful. I wasn't kept in the picture, I was constantly having to chase.
If your items are in stock and you don't need to return anything then you might have an OK experience, but anything outside of this will leave you disappointed.
I am pleased with the end result, and the screens do look great, but I'd urge you to go with one of their competitors instead. I just wish there were other companies offering the same thing back when I bought mine :(”
“Anyone else having issues with screen with envy? I've not received my order. Only one post out of 6. Which is also missing all of its parts. I'm being now told If I don't accept them to send the missing parts out i have to pay to return it. As its their policy they are trying to resolve it.
However I placed my order on 31st July for next day delivery. For 6 base plates and 6 posts. 2 weeks later I receive 4 damaged base plates that were wrapped in just bubble wrap. And apparently the posts had been returned to them. They resent the order out. This time I received 6 base plates and 1 post missing the parts.
Now because I said I just want a refund I'm being told they will send the parts out for the 1 post I have. Or I can return for a refund but I have to pay postage. Despite the fact I still don't have my full order and am only cancelling as the orders been messed up twice. This is not good customer service. I'm not even allowed to speak to a manager or anyone high up. I just keep getting told this is out return policy. I can understand if the post was not missing parts. I said I would keep the base plates as will cost loads for me to return in postage but why should I pay to return a post thats missing parts? They have also been dragging it out to refund me. When I keep asking for a refund”
“What can I say, bunch of liars, they take your money then Fob you off with such fairytale as we will be in contact again in 48 hours, we'll the 48 hrs has turned to 72 and no word. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering. Looking at B&Q now, at least they have real people and not faceless liars”
“I placed an order and paid in full 27th May 2021. Since then the order has been with Hermes , they must of lost it , its been despatched again , not received. Then i said i would collect the goods as i did not believe a word they told me. On collection , 3 posts missing ! then we start again , July , then August sounded positive i was told they were in stock and would be sent out with 72 hrs , then another mail from someone else saying 48hrs and you would have them by the weekend , finally i was told they were in stock. One mis truth after another. to date 17th August still not received the 3 anyway posts. i told them to collect the goods and send my money back , i was told you need to send them back and if they could resell the items i would receive a refund , how could i use them i am still posts missing !! Absolute Joke company”
“Avoid this company unless you want to be messed around like nothing you have ever seen before. Consistently promise to delivery goods. Nothing ever arrives. Tracking details are misleading as do not offer any insights. Consistently blame courier for delayed goods. Stating they lost them. Then they lost the replacement paperwork for shipping replacements for lost items. Courier has advised it is incorrect. Block you on social media pages if share real experience. I then needed an additional post due to being poorly advised initially. Placed the order only to learn the order was deliberately cancelled by their director because they were unhappy with honest account on TrustPilot. Even better I only learnt about this because I rang having not received any replies to my emails on a an update and was told they cancelled it but didnt tell me. And couldnt tell me why I was not informed they cancelled the order. Furthermore, they also did not refund it. I asked them to check they said it was, when I asked for confirmation they advised oh it hadnt been refunded. Oh and by the way the refund process is manual. Which means they require someone to request the system issue a refund. So it meant that the person who cancelled this knew they needed to refund it also but didnt. Also advised their director was complicit in the decision to cancel due to info. provided on Trustpilot.”
“WARNING this company is awful placed an order for a pedestrian gate on 6 June 8 weeks later still no gate was continually told lies originally it was on a two week delivery which I said would wait for then I was told it would be July before I got it July past into August was continually lied to had messages off Hermes saying they was going to deliver on Three separate days but failed to deliver as there was no one home again lies I have cctv on my property and a video doorbell. Eventually had enough and raised a dispute with PayPal on 24 July to my shock and horror they found in there favour because Hermes had sent a tracking number I didn’t agree so contacted PayPal again to disagree with there findings and eventually on 16 August found in my favour. This is a horrible company who continually tell lies and Hermes are no better stay away or lose money there is a far better company out there.”
“Ordered a radiator cover beginning of May 21 and to date I am still waiting delivery. I have contacted Screen with Envy numerous times, and they keep saying awaiting for stock. Asked for my money back, and they said the item was reduced because it was out of stock at the time, but it did not say so on the website. First email I received of them said there was no room on the van for it, and they would send on the next one available .
it is now the middle of August and I'm still waiting. I would avoid this company and would not recommend them either to anybody.”
“We ordered a gate and fence from this company fence arrived safely within a few days. The gate which we ordered early June arrived July 27th in complete no frame we contacted screen with envy immediately well if holding on to there phone system is immediate, was told will get back to me. We where just left phoned every day and emailed eventually they have re ordered but have been told no stock until end of August avoid this company at all costs they are just not interested only in taking your money”
“Avoid this Company. Please read the following for the true picture….
For full details search “real reviews screen with envy” on Facebook.
Reviews io seems to be the only review platform they can’t suffocate the truth on.
Look at how many reviews SWE have challenged on Trustpilot and had removed as TP discretely asks the poster to provide all info within a timeframe. If poster doesn’t respond review is pulled. Just look at the stats on the TP site.
Also look at comments on their sponsored FB posts. Many comments, but they don’t show on the post. This is because they have deleted them.
I have now had to dispute through my CC. They have accepted the dispute. I will get my money back, many have been waiting months.”
“Absolutely shocking service. Ordered over a thousand pounds worth of screens and posts on 2/7 and I've got a room full of screens which are the wrong size and they keep delivering more of the wrong size! 4 deliveries later and it's still not resolved!
The staff on the phones seem very helpful and knowledgeable, but who on earth have they got working in their warehouses and shipping departments as they clearly need to go to specsavers!”
“Absolutely JOKE.
Ordered a full privacy gate with a promise of a 3 week delivery. 6 weeks and I finally get the frame to the gate in which all the trim pieces bar one was bent. They blamed Hermes but the trims were inside a the metal frame.
I've contacted my card company for a full refund as I feel this would be quicker than dealing with their lies. They can come and collect what they've delivered or it can go in the bin, because that's where its fit for. Total disappointment. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.”
“This company(can you call it a company?!) are shambolic. Ordered a gate in May, now August, still no gate, just one small part of it. They say they will ring me back, they don't. They blame Hermes. I don't think so. It says in the good book, "don't try and take a speck of sawdust from someone's eye when there is a splinter in your own eye", or in this case a great big plank!! If you want to avoid stress give screen with envy a wide wide berth.”
“This is the worst company I have EVER dealt with ! I am so dissapointed as , when installed they look good ! BUT .... I paid for 3 orders in May , I have received several damaged screens ( on multiple occasions ) , I received 2 instead of 3 screens on one order , and my gate that I ordered on May 5 th , according to this company has been dispatched and even tracking numbers supplied , for me to find out that the couriers have not even been given the parcel , then after a 3 month wait they have sent me a gate in grey rather than the black I ordered !!! I was promised that I would receive a replacement on Saturday 31 July , when I had returned from holiday . This replacement arrived yesterday ( 4 th august ) but they only sent 1 panel , instead of the 2 required to make the gate , on further inspection , this panel was broken into 3 pieces !!! I sent photos and started to email them at 9 am this morning , to try and organise another replacement to arrive tomorrow by next day delivery , they offered me £30 to accept the 1 broken panel , that is totally useless !!!!!! I have now waited in the house for at least 8 deliveries ( which should have been 3 ) paid the full amount 3 months ago and still do not have a gate !!!!!
Oh - and by the way , the next day delivery that they advertise does not exist , as they pay for a 2 day delivery , and blame covid for the courier delays !!!
I would really like the top manager to now be involved .”
“Order took 6 days to arrive despite emails and messages asking where it was as they promise next day delivery . and when it did arrive it was the wrong colour . Company now ignoring my emails and messages about how they are going to put this right .”
“Seek an alternative to SWE. I am still waiting for my £800+ order placed on 23 July. I started chasing a week ago and am given a different story every day. Yesterday I was given a tracking number which the courier and told I get the goods today. Today I have been told I will get them tomorrow but have not been given a tracking number as was promised in every email I have had from them.
The company lies repeatedly. There are numerous reviews which talk about the lies, unfulfilled orders and lack of stock. Lookk somewhere else and dont waste time and money on SWE.”
“Took a while to come, when the three screens arrived two were damaged and one was a slightly different shade to the other.
After a few weeks of messaging I was offered 10% discount. Not enough so asked for new screens.
Two of new screens are damaged! I give up….”
“This company needs to be shut down. It is FRAUD all the way!
Ordered on 3rd June - it is now 2 months and I still haven't received my pedestrian gate I ordered. All that BS about next day delivery is total lies. In a previous order, I was sent missing parts TWICE for the same delivery and took another 8 weeks to arrive. Absolutely ridiculous. The tracking number they have given is through Hermes and somehow just keeps changing status day by day. It's a FAKE delivery tracking number - do not believe. Go through your BANK or LEGAL routes to get your money back!!”
“NEGATIVE STARS- keep clear of this bogus company.
They do not deliver the next day, they do not tell you the truth - if they do bother to reply to your numerous emails it will be a generic instant reply with no relevance at all.
Fortunately I paid via PayPal and a case was opened and resolved in my favour.
This is a bogus company , steer clear and save yourself the trouble of fighting for your money back.
I wish I had done my due diligence prior to purchasing a screen from this company… lesson very much learnt.
Trading standards will be informed”
