“Company failed to deliver product paid for on multiple occasions despite agreed dates and paying a premium price for service. When called they promised a time and date but they failed again. Called customer services multiple times who failed to answer the calls during weekdays and weekend. Messages left with the company are not returned. Refusals from the company to call the customer to provide delivery times. Lots of huffing and sighing from “Hattie” on the phone. Overall a thoroughly unpleasant service. Think carefully about the other options available.”

“I read a lot of bad reviews. Which almost put me off ordering from worktop express. But my daughter had used them with no problem. So I went for it. The ordering was easy. Confirmation email Despatch email Delivery email Phone call hour before The worktop, breakfast bar and up stands all arrived bang on time as requested. Delivery men polite and friendly. Everything slick. As we have come to expect these days. I would recommend them to anyone. I am a genuine happy customer.”

“Given the choice to pick up some up stands I ordered, I decided as they confirmed a one day delivery at a cost of £15 it was easier to go for that. I had the builder at home waiting for them but by 1pm they hadn't arrived. I chased them, to be told they would arrive about 2pm. Still no delivery at 3.30pm I chased again to be told, the driver couldn't find me so didn't deliver them. Not sure why he didn't call for directions. I was told they would arrive the following day.....they didn't. I then had to go away so arranged for them to be delivered the following day directly to the builders home. They didn't arrive there either. Now I would normally vote with my feet, unfortunately these are the only up stands I can find that match my out of production worktops. A new date was arranged for today. They still have not been delivered but a "compost bin" has been delivered instead!! I am now told that a new order will be raised but they are out of stock and I have to wait another 9 days for them. I have had to pay a builder 2 half days waiting around and now he has to re-arrange his workload again, all due to WorkTops Express failing big style on a simple delivery.”

“Worst Customer Care Service ever !!! Do not except them to sort a situation out with logic. And If you live in town, they « don’t do stairs » with their delivery options, not even if you booked the most expensive way for you to be delivered. Better using any other competitors than them !”

“Worktops weren't delivered as driver didn't contact us by telephone as arranged. Phoning the company constantly only to be fobbed off. Hassle with refund as they are dishonest and try to hold on to the refund! Very bad experience, I would not recommenced to anyone I would warn people to avoid or they will wait for a delivery that will not show up and possibly loose all money paid to this shoddy dishonest company.”

“Worktops weren't delivered as driver didn't contact us by telephone as arranged. i have communicated several times with the company, and been advised that the refund had been processed, however I still haven't received refund 15 days later, and the customer services rep i have spoken with most recently advised the refund was processed yesterday ( the same person who advised me that it had been processed on 17th December). I would avoid this company at all costs, they do not appear to invest in ensuring that their customers have a satisfactory experience.”

“Worked for the company for 4 months, was told to leave after having a few days off after being told I had pneumonia... I have seen how they treat customers and its shocking. One customer I had been to in total 5 times to deliver a worktop which the company kept sending back to him hoping he would except the worktop so they didn't have to replace it and tried to charge him for delivery everytime. The amount of times a customer has refused a worktop and we have been told by higher management to leave it in the depo and re deliver in a few days, the customer wont notice. The Van's are old and dangerous, and we have no real support from the company to keep the worktops in tact, so when the worktops get damaged in transit they try and charge us for the damage. Dont waste your time with this company. For your ordering a normal uncut worktop they are not to bad but if you want anything cut to your specific needs your going to have problems. Complete joke of a customer service which even for drivers are a nightmare to get hold of.”

“Damaged in transit, don't expect a resolution! £180 breakfast bar worktop damaged in transit. I contacted Worktop Express at the earliest opportunity and have been offered £27 compensation. The partial thickness gouge halfway along the worktop surface renders the item useless, however as a pragmatic solution to reduce costs of resupply, delivery and a further half day employing a kitchen fitter, I proposed fitting (temporarily or otherwise) the damaged worktop. Worktops Express have dismissed my consumer rights and maintain their offer of £27, which equates to a 6% refund on a £450 order. Very disappointed!”

“Awful customer service - abrupt and unconcerned. Didn’t reply to a follow up letter. Once they have your money they don’t care - just hope that you don’t need aftercare”

“I ordered 2 worktops and a breakfast bar When the kitchen fitters had installed them and took off the protective film, the breakfast bar was found to be damaged (it had screw holes in it - so definitely not damaged in transit or on site) I was offered a £12 discount which I obviously refused Poor after sales - would not recommend at all”
