Mrs Harding
I ordered an integrated Beko washing machine order number BTS8648373. The delivery was schedule for 13th Sept. I received a phone call from AO about the order confirming details and was told I would be refunded for the delivery. Never materialised. I got a call early in the morning of 13th to advise it was being delivered in the next 15 mins. All fine with me as it didn't impact my working day. Item was delivered all seemed fine, came home from work to do a long over due wash and the machine practically jumped out of the cabinet in the spin cycle. Had to turn it off as it was vibrating so much. Phoned Boots straight away after going through their delightful automated process and was told that an engineer would not be able to attend until October. Obviously I was very unhappy with this response. So the guy I was speaking to suggested that I arrange my own engineer and they (Boots) would make a contribution to the cost! Bear in mind I have already paid £90 for the 1st installation. He also mentioned that the problem could be caused by the transit bolts being left in place! As expected this just knocked me over the edge and I insisted that I speak to someone in authority. This did not happen as no-one was available at this point (early evening) but they promised they would call me back after they had spoken to someone the following morning. After a lot of hit and miss calls I eventually was told that I could expect an engineer on the morning of Sunday 18th Sept. I queried this as it was a Sunday but was told that was correct. I even made a phone call the following day to double check and again it was confirmed. I changed my weekend plans to accommodate this. Sunday morning came and went so I had to phone again to see what was happening to be told that no engineer had been scheduled, delivery did not know about it. I must point out that there are certain people in customer services who tried to help but at no time did anyone in authority deem it necessary to call to resolve this as a point of urgency. Finally it was decided that it seemed likely that the machine had still got its transit bolts in place so a replacement machine was ordered for 27th September. Again staff helpful but could only offer a free delivery as recompense. I don't know whether this meant no delivery charge for the replacement machine or the original one. In either case nothing has been refunded. Not enough anyway for this sort of hassle I feel totally let down by Boots, again like other customers I was only going through this route to get my points. It is certainly not worth it. I have had to make dozens of calls and going through the automated process I often ended up speaking to Beko who informed me that my warranty would not be valid if I accepted the original machine with the suspicion that the bolts were still in place. I have a new replacement machine now, the guys who delivered it had no idea about the history, again another failing in customer service.
