“You told us you had a van ready when selling it to us. It's 2 months later. You knew when you were selling me this that I needed a van quickly. As you can see by the text, you lied to get a sale. We have had no end of trauma because of this, mentally this has been challenging as our business is at risk. You lied and didn't give full details of delays which you knew about beforehand.”

“Shocking service received by DAN BOND at global vans. Really responsive when purchasing, that soon changed. Ordered a van 3rd Jan with a 14 day delivery time. Hadn’t heard so called after 14 days to be told by DAN van has arrived & will be sent to be ply lined & someone from the delivery team will be in contact. A week goes by no contact from anyone, we call again as no reply by DAN via email, speak to a ‘very helpful’ salesman (didn’t get his name), asked about the van to be told we had been given the wrong information & mixed up with another customer. So we asked when ours would be arriving to be told ‘your guess is as good at ours mate. Could be today, next week or 4 weeks’. Very helpful info! So following day I call the delivery team speak to Chelsea, she was able to tell me it has been delayed 10 days. So 10 days goes by we call again, Chelsea tells me it’s been delayed another week & that she is unable to contact the suppliers to chase it up. So we wait another week, I call again. Speak to Chelsea to be told she has contacted the supplier, (last week she told me she wasn’t able to), & it has been delayed a further 2 weeks. We later then decide to cancel as now we are definitely being strung along. So I spend all day trying to ring, requesting call backs & emailing. No response at all. So I call off of a different number, my call was answered straight away & by DAN BOND himself who we have been trying to contact for weeks! SO THEY ARE ALSO BLOCKING PHONE NUMBERS! So anyone not getting a response, my advice use another number! So he tells me he will cancel the order, i questioned as to why he had ignored calls & emails for weeks, obviously this is because he had lied to us! A manager calls the next day to confirm the cancellation & it will be passed on to someone higher to decide wether we will get a full refund or a percentage! Global vans you have NO argument & no decision to make! We’ve purchased an ‘in stock’ van that you have failed to deliver! 11 days later we are still waiting a call, email or letter regarding our refund! REFUND OUR MONEY Shocking company & service. We’ve had not one update regarding our van, we have had to chase it everytime! managed to phone enough times before we placed the order! Perhaps try answering to customers as quick as you do replying to negative feedback! AVOID AT ALL COSTS do not waste your time or money on this conning company. Completely ruined our experience of buying a new van!”

Hi Hayley, thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear your order didn't run smoothly, I've asked a member of our management team to make contact. With regards to our phone system, once your order is confirmed by the supplying dealer your incoming calls will get routed to the relevant department handling the processing of your order, it won't go back to the sales person unless you request his extension. I hope we can deliver your new van as planned. Thank you for choosing to lease through us.

“Will never use again!! On buying my third vehicle through Global Vans, they were unwilling to assist with a fault with the vehicle only 4 days after it was delivered. When the windscreen heater was first used, the windscreen had a crack appear across it but they claimed there was no damage noted when it was delivered, so they wouldn't assist. They also claimed that the dealership that the vehicle came from were unwilling to assist. I asked for the details of the dealership and was told that they would not give me the details of the dealership that sold me the vehicle but no reason why not. As well as this, when the vehicle was first delivered, I had to ask the driver to take the vehicle to the local car wash as it was filthy. I'll never be going back to Global Vans for another vehicle.”

Hi Liam, thank you for your feedback. I can see you ordered a bespoke Ford Transit Custom in October 2021, with the long factory lead-time, the credit approval expired by the time the van arrived. The finance company wanted to see your business bank statements to reapprove the finance, we are still waiting for these to be sent, unfortunately we can't proceed any further until these are supplied.

“Fraudulent company, I didn’t even sign the contract and they are refusing to refund me my £550 plus there using scare tactics saying there could be additional charges as told to me by Ben Scroggs All of this because I didn't want to proceed? they've acted like a child throwing toys out of the pram just because I've decided I don't want to take the lease on anymore they couldn't have simply refunded my deposit and we both went our separate ways Trading standards will be notified AVOID!!!!!”

Hi Lee, thank you for your feedback. I can see you placed an order for a new Citroen Dispatch, signed the order form and paid the £550 holding deposit. We allocated you a stock vehicle and processed everything our end, you then contacted us to cancel. As per the signed order form, we clearly state there are cancellation charges, we do try to minimise these but you are ordering a £25,000+ vehicle and there are costs involved. I've arranged a call back with the relevant department to try and resolve any issues.

“When calling up for a quote on 2 vans I was told by Kristoff “get your order in quick as we only have 8 left in stock, delivery of vehicle in 6-8 weeks”. This was obviously a lie as the order was placed in May this year and I still have no vans (now waiting 7 months), the reason for the delay is because of manufacturer production issues. The vans obviously were not in stock at the time of the sale so the sales rep has lied to make a quick sale. Updates were also not provided unless I chased the company.”

“Unfortunately despite being patient Global vans have delayed my van order taking my £550 deposit in August. Delivery was expected originally in September. I then had to chase them in October to then be told order would be in January 2023. When saying this was not acceptable and wanted to my deposit back they said this was not refundable! So Global vans are essentially scamming customers with excuses blamed on the manufacturers and taking 0 responsibility. They didn’t even bother to inform me of any delays or apologize. When I said the website had new vans which were similar offer they said it was out of date and needed changing! So they are misleading customers by promoting stock they don’t have!”

“Shockingly Poor Aftersales Service. Promises of contact, but no followthrough. When things go wrong they blame and try to shift responsibility.

Hi Angus, thank you for your feedback. I understand you've had a technical issue with one of your vehicles. The manufacturer should cover the problem under warranty. As standard you wouldn't automatically get a courtesy vehicle from the service centre, we would always recommend a maintenance contract with a replacement vehicle if this is important to you. We will of course try to help as much as we can, I've asked our aftersales dept. to contact you.

“BS company avoid scam Ordered a van back in January. Had an email from a Ella Williams stating the arrival would be 4th March then I would get the van shortly after this. Its now early June and no one seems to know whats going on been told they can't give me an update. When I get told I shall get a call back I never do. I feel left in the dark and now given up if it will at some point turn up. Update.... It's now 5th September STILL NO VAN. Not heard anything in months. Evey time I call I get the same BS no one knows what's going on or I will receive a call back that never happens. Called nissan directly they say there's only 1 distributor is the UK and their lead times are 8 months at the moment. Global vans are clearly running a scam along side there main business.”

“I’m currently at the end of a contract with Global Vans and I simply cannot reach anybody about the return. You call and wait on hold for ages. Or if you call later in the day when they claim to still be open the “out of hours” team take a message for a call back, but they never call you back. So I can’t return it, meaning I’ve had to renew insurance just to keep it safe even though it should no longer be my problem. To make matters worse, I’ve been overcharged by £700+ this year, but again, can’t get hold of anyone… I submitted a contact form on the website asking to make a complaint and I received the response “thanks we’ll get someone to call and prepare a bespoke quote” so they don’t even read what you send either. I used to be a big van and have referred sales to them, but not after this experience.”
