“Having brought several items from Direct stoves without any issue and a fast delivery I was amazed that when I tried to buy a woodburner from their website there was some technical issue in that there was no way to put it into the basket. So I phoned them and got through to some girl in the messaging centre to explain the problem but basically she did not give a shiete, I said that I can purchase elsewhere but prefered to use direct stoves due to good service and she just said there is no one around and nothing she can do, no interest in sales and I suspect she was working from home in her pyjamas.”

Hi Roy, Thank you for your review and for your continued interest in our range. This being said, we're sorry to hear of the issue experienced in ordering online. We do use a third-party messaging service for instances in which all available sales representatives might be engaged with customers. Any agents would not be sales representatives themselves, and their aim would be to gather any relevant information relating to your query so that our sales team can be notified and get back to customers ASAP. If you are still in need of assistance in placing an order then we would encourage you to contact 0161 376 4191 or sales@directstoves.com at your earliest convenience. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Very helpful advice as to the stove that would work for us but unfortunate that installers could not cover our area.”

Hi Julia, Thanks again for your order, and for your kind review. We're sorry to have not been of more assistance in terms of fitting. Our installation team at Direct Heating Services does have coverage throughout much of England and Wales and does frequently reexamine areas without coverage for future consideration. We can only apologise on their behalf in this particular instance. This being said, we're glad to hear that you found our sales team to be so helpful, and we hope that you're enjoying your new stove. Please do let us know if we can offer any other advice or assistance in future. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Wonderful item perfect for us, but the wording regarding extra flue etc is not clear and the staff do not enquire about your set up to advise, which is a shame as it would have saved me having to re-order and pay extra delivery. Other than that I would have given a 5 star as the product is lovely.”

Hi Shirley, Thank you for your order and for your review. It's great to hear that you've been enjoying the stove in question and we're sorry for any confusion regarding product specifications. As you will be aware, the website gives an option for "No Flue Kit Required - Self Supplied/Bespoke System" in addition to allowing the purchase of a standardised balanced flue kit. This is because many gas fitters prefer to either arrange the flue kit themselves or give customers a list of parts to build a quotation for a bespoke system through ourselves. In the event that you had queried your selection of this 'No Flue Kit Required' option, our sales team would have been happy to advise further and look into provision of any additional items. Needless to say, if you do happen to need any further help or advice then please do let us know. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Easy to order and a good price. Would have given 5 stars but they forgot to include the stove's extra legs but they followed soon after with paint knocked off.”

“Easy to order only problem was the delivery date did specify which date but they then changed it to week before easily sorted when rang up back to the original date although part of the order was delivered the day before it should have been and was left on the drive whilst everyone was out at work so perhaps the courier’s they use need addressing. Apart from that no problems at all.”

Hi Donna, Thank you for your review. We are sorry for any confusion regarding delivery. Truth told, every indication on the order suggests that this was placed via the website with a date of 15/3/24 requested on the customer side; we can see that our Dispatch team was contacted and that we were able to assist in rearranging this. This said, we are sorry to hear of the split delivery. As you may be aware, we work with a number of different delivery partners (if, for example, a stove has been ordered with a liner kit to be fulfilled from a different supplier). While they aim to meet expectations for delivery as much as is possible, the couriers do sometimes find it necessary to make alternative arrangements. We do appreciate the opportunity to feed back to the suppliers and to try and ensure the continued high level of service that we strive towards. Please do let us know if we can offer any further advice or assistance. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

“Direct Stoves themselves were excellent unfortunately the whole experience was marred by a very unpleasant driver who refused to deliver to my street claiming that there was not enough room to manoeuvre,this is the first time in over 35 years that this has happened”

“Very good, delivery was good. Only slight grumble is the design of the fire. When we open the door ash falls out as there is a gap between the base plate and the holding bar. Other than that the fire works excellent.”

“Nice stove, a great blend of traditional and contemporary. Seems to be performing well. Be warned if ordering the stovepipe/Register combination pack, the register is blank with no pre cut stovepipe hole which is pointless. It also doesn’t give its overall dimensions when ordering. Simple website fix that will save a lot of hassle for the customer.”

“Easy to navigate site. Plenty of choice. The only reason I'm not giving a 5 is because the carrier they chose to use charge £75 if you want the fire brought in to the house. My parents chose free delivery as they are on a tight budget and the driver left the fire outside in the rain. It was 3 hours before we could finish work and take it indoors. It was upsetting. That said, the fire is in and looks lovely. They love it and it's had many compliments from neighbours who are also shocked it was left on the doorstep. Just something to think of to add £75 on each price if you want it over the front step.”

“We bought a multi fuel burner from direct stoves, excellent purchase but communication between staff is very poor. Delivery was due on a Tuesday but arrived on the Monday, luckily someone was a home. They say door delivery, but it isn’t ours was left on the driveway.”

Hi Lesley, Thank you very much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear of the issues experienced with this order. Our one-man delivery does specify that: "The drivers are contracted to deliver the item to your property and must use a pallet truck to lift/move the goods which are normally quite heavy and can be up to 1mtr wide (occasionally larger). If they cannot operate the pallet truck safely due to gravel/stone drives, steps, or slopes as examples they will only be able to leave the item at the first available access point. They will try to assist as best they can but can only stay at each property for a limited period. They cannot bring the goods inside your house and will leave the goods with you on the delivery pallet." If the driver does not feel that they are able to safely transport the pallet delivery to the front door then unfortunately they must leave the goods at the closest access point. Similarly, while we do apologise for the confusion regarding delivery, ultimately any delivery dates requested are not 100% guaranteed. Rescheduling through our shipping partner should have been fully communicated by said partner and we would still apologise on their behalf for the inconvenience. Regardless, thanks again for your order. Please do let us know if we can offer any further advice or assistance. Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces

Hi John, Thanks very much for your review and the image provided of your new stove and twin wall. It's always good to see these in-situ. As you mention, the Opus Harmony G is a very sturdy and attractive model, and it's often recommended for freestanding stove installations such as this one as a result. If we can offer any further advice or assistance regarding your order please don't hesitate to let us know, Kind regards, Direct Stoves & Fireplaces
