“Reading a few negative reviews after initially contacting Global Vans I was sceptical about buying from them. I spoke of my reluctance to order with Gino (the salesman), who I had been talking with, especially about the after sales and when things go wrong. He relayed this to his manager and in turn told me he would see this through from start to finish. In all, probably 3 weeks from deciding to go ahead with them, I received my van complete with extra back number plate for towing and a towbar fitted. Everything was as we had ordered and the communication was brilliant. Zoe on the aftersales team was also in contact when there was a slight problem with signing the agreement however this was sorted and she kept me updated or called me back when requested. I cannot fault their communication with me at every stage. They even called me on Monday to see if I was happy with everything, and another call from Zoe yesterday to inform me about the agreement now being live. The negative point was the people delivering the van were meant to give an hours notice but they just turned up at the door! Luckily I was in but the delivery driver did apologise. I wouldn't hesitate buying another van from them and would happily recommend Global Vans. Customer service is so important and they certainly delivered that. Thanks Gino and Zoe!”

“I ordered a van in december from global vans . Week 2 i had 3 different lights flashing . The break fluid is low. none of sensors work and theres an exhaust light that keeps coming up. I have rung global van 3 times to tell them and they have just said take it to ford no apologies or offer of a discount. I have to take a day off work unpaid and take it to the garage half hour away from my house to get it fix. i also have to pay £20 to hire the courtesy van for the day . If its not fix that day i have to take more time off work and pay more for the courtesy. DO NOT USE GLOBAL VANS. The customer service is awful and they do not care about you once they make their sale. they rang me every day for 2 weeks to try to sell me gap insurance but did not once call me to speak about the van . To make things worse my van was delivered with two dents . one in the side and one on the back bumper. I also have to take time off work to get these fixed . Make sure you check your van properly when you get it as i have only just noticed one of the dents. pathetic”

Hi Will, thank you for your feedback. I can see you received your van on the 17th December, we emailed you on the 10th December with detailed instructions on how to inspect the vehicle on delivery. Unfortunately you only marked one of the two dents on the delivery sheet, we have spoken to the supplying dealer who have arranged for the dent to be repaired, it is a difficult situation when a dent is spotted a few days after delivery and not reported straight away, as a gesture of good will we will help to get the cost of repair covered (our aftersales team have been in contact today to get this resolved). Regarding the faults with the vehicle, it is a great shame when something goes wrong with a brand new vehicle, fortunately it is rare but when it does happen it is very frustrating, you are fully covered by the manufacturer warranty so we will work with you and Ford to get it fixed quickly. Once again, thank you for the business and we'll keep in contact.

“Ordered a new stock commercial vehicle, did all paperwork required, paid monies, received the V5 but not the vehicle, some 4 weeks later and I'm still waiting on the vehicle, now coming up to 3 weeks late, do not respond to emails or phone calls - My recommendation - don't use this company!!! Absolutely no customer service and don't deliver - I now anticipate that I will need to take legal action against them to get my deposit back. :-(”

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I can see you placed an order for a new Transit Custom Crew van just before Christmas. We gave you a three week lead-time which takes us to mid-January. Unfortunately due to the sheer volume of Fords being registered at the end of December they've had a bit of a delay in processing the pre-delivery inspections and moving the vehicles from the Ford holding compound. I can see you've had many calls/emails between yourself and our admin team. I can see we've given you a delivery date of the 22nd January. I hope this is all OK. thanks once again for the business.

“Hi, I am delighted with Global Vans and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to lease a van to use Global Vans so I’d say 10 out of 10 from start to finish everyone I’ve dealt with has been superb and fast responding to any questions I had.”

“A month late on delivery. Requested a 150bhp and got a 102bhp Missed out the front parking sensors when it was requested. plylining missed out and was fitted after the vehicle was delivered. Sales man was too bothered about his commision and ignores my phone calls. Spoke to tony and complained and he promised a phone call back its been 2 weeks and still waiting. Global Vans im very disappointed as this is non of my fault.Take your van back and ill have a full refund as im not driving something i dont want.”

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I can see we factory ordered you a VW Caddy which arrived in 12 weeks, that's slightly longer than a typical VW factory order takes so apologies for the factory delay. I've double checked the specification with your signed order and it is exactly as you ordered. I've asked our sales manager to give you a call to discuss any confusion. Thank you for the business

“Staff confused about technical aspects of the sale especially the percentages, passed me to the manager who was also confused and argued rather than admit he might be wrong. Not all their fault as the marketing is written by someone who is also confused by percentages. You couldn't write it lol.”

“called last week regarding a fault with my van to be told to call the dealership direct which I did, the ford dealership booked me in a week later prior to my call then cancelled at 4:30 the day before appointment, not good when your self employed and planned the day ahead, so I called the team at globel a member of the team said they would call the dealership and call me straight back but no call was made, when time was getting on I decided to call globel again the lady I spoke to promised the team member that was dealing with it is on another line and would call me when he becomes available but yet again no call back now to my frustration the office is shut its not professional and I wont be using globel once my lease runs out in march next year, aftersales need to be improved self-employed need to know we can rely on getting to work the next day not phoning around trying to get your van fixed”

Hi Ryan, I can see you took delivery of a Ford Transit Tipper 18 months ago. You are covered by the Ford manufacturer warranty for the first three years or 100k miles (whichever is first). I can see we advised you to call your local Ford dealership to book the vehicle in, I'm sorry to hear that they then cancelled your appointment, did they explain why? If you need any further help please don't hesitate to contact us. It's always frustrating if your vehicles goes wrong, the warranty is there to help you get it repaired at no cost to you but if the vehicle is business critical you may want to consider a full maintenance and replacement vehicle contract on your next vehicle which would cover you in these circumstances. Once again, thank you for choosing Global Vans, if we can help any further please contact us.

“Just read the response to my review from Global Vans, it is correct that you offered as a gesture of goodwill to pay the excess for the windscreen damage and I did receive a phone call and an excellent apology for the way I was treated, i.e. by email letting me know that it was my responsibility to thoroughly check the van over before signing but it is not my responsibility to make sure the van is reasonably clean on delivery, as I explained the van was filthy so I was unable to see the damage until I had washed it. This is an issue to be taken up with your delivery company.”

“Shocking service. My wife is in the middle of trying to purchase a new van which she was promised would arrive in "normally 2 weeks but could be 3". It is now 3 weeks and we don't even have a date, oonce the finance is approved they don't want to know. Awful.”
