It took the sales guy 3 times to get the details of my quote correct (this should have been the warning sign...) Within 24hrs of signing the paperwork and paying the deposit, I was then informed that the Van had been sold elsewhere and that I would have to pay an extra £94 per month!!! I was beyond gobsmacked at the audacity to request more money following their error! Now in the process of trying to get my money back, and details of the owner/MD - which as you would expect, the sales guys are not forthcoming with. Will update this review again in the coming days.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I can see you placed an order for a Citroen Relay Luton van, the one you decided to go with was one of our last Euro 5 models which needed to be registered before the end of February 2018 to meet the government cut off for registering Euro 5 vehicles. Unfortunately our very limited remaining stock all sold between you placing and order and the finance company approving your credit. As these were the final Euro 5 models the only option going forward was to look at the new Euro 6 model which does have a higher list price and didn't attract the same level of discount from Citroen as the run-out model. We re-quoted which was more expensive and you decided not to proceed, your file was then passed to accounts to refund your £550 holding deposit, this can take 3-5 working days to show on your statement. We do apologise that we couldn't supply your first choice, they were very cheap run-out vans which unfortunately didn't hang around very long.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. I understand you ordered a Nissan Navara with a rear tonneau cover. On delivery of the vehicle you signed for the vehicle confirming everything was in order, unfortunately a few days later you rang to say the cover was torn. We looked into the issue and as it wasn't marked on the delivery note the supplying dealer wasn't willing to cover the cost of repair. As a good will gesture we offered to pay half of the costs of replacing the cover. We do stress the importance of checking the vehicle on delivery, it does put everyone in a difficult positon if damaged is reported a few days later.

The vehicle arrived on the 22/09/2017 a day late about 6.30 in the evening while having a family birthday party. The delivery person who picked up the vehicle on Wednesday had to return it because a warning light malfunction (so I was told !) The following day another delivery person phoned to say he was just leaving Bedford at 3.24 to deliver the vehicle. I told him I would not sign the vehicle was checked has it would be late and was busy with visitors he confirmed it was ok to do as he did not check and sign for the vehicle and it was wet and dusty. When it arrived with 244 delivery miles on the clock we quickly done a walk around and did not see any noticeable marks, I did not even have a demonstration of the instruments or controls apart from to start the vehicle put a foot on the clutch. As we had guest and I had already mentioned to him about the signing I did not think someone would lie about what I was signing, thank heavens for phone voice recording. On inspection of the vehicle the following day after work at 14.15pm apart from the dust we noticed scratches on the bonnet, details were forwarded to the suppliers and were totally ignored. After contacting Global a few times waiting for a return call, I was informed the supplier would go 50/50 on repairs estimate from Fords Essex £560.20 The latest is the delivery driver will not accept my call Global have informed me that the dealership have said it was signed clean and all Ok and that is the end of the matter and no action will be taken by them We must have had a dust storm in the night As Global told me I should communicate with them they will get the -star review I am currently passing on my phone recordings, The name numbers and emails of all the people concerned, to my solicitor who will be taking action and increasing the cost Globalvans first purchase was very good. Now would I rather go to a local dealer for a better service.

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you're not 100% satisfied with your vehicle. It is very important that the vehicle is checked over inside and out and any damage marked on the delivery note before you accept delivery of vehicle. Unfortunately as you signed for the vehicle confirming receipt of a clean vehicle in a dry and good condition we are put in a difficult situation with the supplying dealer to get any damaged spotted on a later date. We are working with the dealer to try and get the issued resolved so will be in contact to discuss further

Hi Ricky, thank you for your feedback. I’ve looked into your case and can see you placed an order for a Peugeot Boxer on Thursday 24th August, you wanted it on the new September ‘67’ registration plate. We processed your order and issued you with the registration plate and finance documents after the bank holiday weekend on the Tuesday 29th August – just one working day after placing the order. You rang on that afternoon stating you wanted delivery on Monday 4th September or you would cancel the order, we explained that the first week of September is one of the busiest weeks of the year for deliveries and we couldn’t promise delivery that day and you were realistically looking at later that week or early the following, - you demanded a refund of your £550 holding deposit. We explained our process and issued you a cancellation form to sign and return. The following day you submitted this review. As discussed your deposit has been refunded to your credit card, it will take a couple of days to show on your statement. I’m sorry that you feel we let you down, we were on schedule to deliver your new van well within our 7-14 working days typical turnaround.

Bought a van in February that was to include fitted Fog Lamps for £150. Was told the day before delivery that the dealer had not had time to fit them but will send someone to me to fit after delivery. I am still waiting 5 months later. The after sales is none existant, simply do not care. Small claims court is imminent.

Hi Wayne, thank you for your feedback. I can see you ordered a Ford Transit Custom on the 16th March and received delivery 15 working days later. Your vehicle was from central Ford stock and didn’t have a factory tow-bar fitted at time of order, I can see from the telephone recordings our salesman said he could supply an aftermarket one or we could factory order you a vehicle with a tow-bar which would have taken approx. 14 weeks, this didn’t fit within your take scales so we supplied the aftermarket one. I can see the engineer from the aftermarket supplier came out after delivery to resolve the issue with the 7 to 13 pin, we do apologise for any inconvenience this caused. Thanks once again for the business.

We were told we could lease a van on the 11th May 2017 that would be delivered free to our door within 7 to 10 days. Great just what we needed so we paid deposit and order was placed on the 12th May 2 weeks later we are told we are told van is in Bristol just waiting for reg number which should be 2 days. Repeated phone calls and broken promises. Told people will phone the next day even though that person is on holiday. 2nd June after stressful calls I have 2 reg numbers as there has been an error. Signed lease agreement urgently so as to get a delivery date great we think the van will be with us soon. No we will find out next Friday 9th June a date for deliver as it's not in the dealership at all and it's not been ply lined. We now have to hire a van as we can't run our business without one. I have never been treated this way before. How un professional. Don't be mislead by the advert NEW VAN IN 7 to 10 DAYS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN!!!!

Here's the facts of my journey with global vans. I ordered a Citroen van in graphite grey. They took a deposit to secure that van. About a week later they phoned and said they no longer had the physical stock in. I eventually settled on a van. Van as supposed to arrive on a Wednesday and when I phoned at 1650 they said it hadn't been done in time and would be delivered tomorrow. Drove the van 13 miles and a total loss of power occurred. What happened from then is that they have simply booked it in for 5 days' time and not cared to get someone working overtime to sort the problem out. Still waiting and paying for a van I don't possess. Couldn't be more disappointed about the lack of callbacks. I was repeatedly promised callbacks within a certain amount of time and it never happened. They'll no doubt come up with excuses as to why such and such has happened and the courtesy vehicle is enough but ultimately I was given a faulty van, late and it broke down on the motorway.

Thank you for your feedback. In very rare circumstances brand new vans can develop faults which were not discovered when the franchised manufacturer dealer carries out their pre-delivery inspection. Although it is rare I understand how frustrating it is when you receive a brand new van for it to then develop a fault, we do try to do everything possible to fix the issue quickly and provide a courtesy van whist your van in off the road. I can see that you are in regular contact with our after-sales department to get the issue resolved and to get you back in your van as soon as possible, we do apologise for the inconvenience caused and will do everything in our power to resolve.

Thank you for your feedback. I've had a look into your case and listened to the phone calls where the specification was discussed with the salesman, I can't hear any reference to the satellite navigation system being built into the dashboard. The Citroen Berlingo Enterprise comes standard from the factory with a sat nav and tracker system which sits on bracket to the right of the dash, it's an advanced system but Citroen do not offer an integrated system, i'm sorry if there was any confusion.

If I could score the customer service lower than zero I would After waiting 7months for my van I contacted them to find out about a update I was told the van was in the country and paper would be sorted once at dealership,I was contacted and asked if I would be happy to wait until New reg plate was issued,agreeing I expected the van on the 1st of the month,no ,,,no one had generated the paperwork,the van finally arrived two weeks later and wrong spec!!!! After being pressured to take delivery assurance given that it would be sorted in a week,!!no still not done,stressed frustrated and extremely dissatisfied is a understatement

Sarah, thank you for your review. We apologise for the extended delay in receiving your vehicle, and we empathise with your frustration. We realise the wait was long but with highly specific orders Ford wait to bunch similar orders together to fit production, unfortunately, it transpires that Ford UK have very little influence on production runs. We assure you we did try to push as much as possible Our supplier did not deliver the expected specification due to an error and are hugely embarrassed. They have however made strides to rectify the position as agreed with yourselves. You were given the choice to hand back the vehicle. As of today, 21/03/2017, the fitters have arrived to put the final installations on your vehicle. Again we apologise for the delays but we hope you are happy with your brand new custom vehicle.

I enquired about a van and decided to go ahead but I made it clear I needed it within two weeks,nothing seemed to be a problem to the manager,he sent documents to sign did checks and took my deposit of £550. When the acceptance sheet came through it said I wouldn't get van for another 21/2 months later.I emailed and then called them to say this wasnt Acceptable they tried to get me a more expensive van ,I declined.I wanted to cancel .This was done within 24 hrs but at no time did anybody say the deposit would not be returned. Now I'm told that for not reading small print I have to pay £550. RIP off guys going to ombudsman. Disgusting ethics these guys have.

Hello, Thank you for your feedback. I’ve discussed your case with the sales person involved and listened to the call recordings of your conversations. I can see you ordered a Citroen Berlingo in a specific specification with options fitted to meet your business requirements. The order form you signed cleared showed a lead time of April/May 2017, once you returned the order form we placed the order with Citroen. You then requested to cancel the order as you couldn’t live with the expected due date, we then sent you cancellation form showing a cancellation charge, you then signed and returned this form. We do not make a habit of charging cancellation fees, we do try and do everything possible to avoid them but when a vehicle is order in a specification which we’ll struggle to resell we do have to pass on some of the cost of reallocating the vehicle. We attempted to switch you up to the Citroen Dispatch which we had in stock, as discussed, as it could better meet your timeframe. However, you found the insurance costs prohibitive and decided not to proceed. We do understand how this can be frustrating on your end—and I’m sorry you felt misled by how the deposits work. We do clearly show this on the order form which you signed and the cancellation form which you also signed. As a gesture of goodwill, if you decide to pursue another vehicle within 6 months, we’ll be happy to put the deposit against another vehicle of your choosing. Kind regards, The Global Vans Team

Hello, Thank you for your feedback Raymond. The initial contact was made from the 3rd party dealer to you on the 14th of February 2017. As requested, our aftersales department chased up to arrange a time on your behalf. As of 03/03/2017, the Sales Manager from the 3rd party has arranged a time with you to fit Fog Lights at a location of your choosing. We understand the delay may have been frustrating but ensure you that we followed up with tenacity to help you get them as soon as possible with another company. We hope all goes well with the installation and that you are enjoying your new van. Kind regards, The Global Vans Team

Within minutes of sending an enquiry I was bombarded with emails and texts. Ok, a little bit OTT but this is the way of the world. BUT.......never heard a thing after Mark emailed to say he would contact me "within a few hours" the next day. Dropped an email reply at the end of the day to say I hadn't heard anything. Got a reply from Mark saying it was very busy, and that he would call first thing and make my deal a very good one. Guess what...? Not heard a thing. Try cutting down on the typical sales patter and actually deliver what the customer wants: no fuss, honest and up front information. Not impressed in the slightest.

I recently ordered a new Transit Custom and as an owner driver I just wanted it delivered as ordered; brand new, properly PDI checked and with the usual book pack including manuals and service book etc. Have to agree with some of the other reviews that once they have your deposit the lies start, two weeks passed and only when I queried I was told my van apparently got delayed at ford, then when I pushed further it had got damaged due to the roof rack I had requested and finally it was badly damaged coming off the transporter. They would have had me wait while it was repaired and resprayed but having complained again and again Andrew Hurst very reluctantly sorted me out a new van. This arrived when indicated however it clearly had not been PDI checked (still got factory labels on seats, wing mirrors and on the back of the bulkhead a big factory printout) and had no book pack, I'm currently chasing to get a warrantee certificate (which is required in their own warrantee terms and conditions). Rather than apologize and sort the problems out they just lie and hope you will go away. I seriously would not recommend this company unless you are not fussed about the service or condition the vehicle turns up in. Finally, my rear number plate has been fixed at a 10 deg slant which yet again they said they would sort out but have not heard anymore. Also have to agree with others that you DON’T GET ANY WARNING OR CORRESPONDENCE FROM FINANCE COMPANY ON THE DEPOSIT COLLECTION DATE. Don’t believe the hype, in future I will pay the slight extra and buy face to face with a Ford dealer and buy through the more professional Ford options finance.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. Your original vehicle was unfortunately damaged on transfer from the Ford holding compound to the nominated Ford dealership, Ford inspected the van and they decided to switch your order to another identical van in stock. Once we became aware of these issues we rang you to explain why there was a delay and booked the delivery of your replacement vehicle. All our vans have a PDI (pre-delivery-inspection) by the manufacturer's agent prior to delivery, they will occasionally leave factory paperwork or plastic seat protectors on the van, I can assure you the van did fully complete the PDI process. Ford now work on a computer based warranty system so your van is fully covered by the warranty, it does seem on the occasion Ford didn't put the vehicle handbook / service book in the van prior to delivery, we have now requested this to be posted out to you. A schedule of payment dates are sent to you in the post by the finance company, once the van goes 'live' on the finance company's system the initial rental will come out by Direct Debit, the next monthly payment will come a month after the delivery date. This is all explained in the finance paperwork sent out to you when you receive the contracts. We're always on hand to help if you need any further information. You are receiving exactly the same vehicle you would buy if you went to a Ford dealer, the Ford finance option is an external finance company (ALD Automotive), in most cases you'll pay more at a Ford dealer as we commit to more volume than the average Ford dealer. I'm sorry that you feel let down on the occasion, I will speak to the people involved to try and prevent this happening in the future.

The most protracted purchase I have ever experienced and it will probably turn out to be the most regretted . Global vans have been a nightmare to deal with and I wish I hadn't bothered. By clever use of emails and changing details of the van from one quote yo the next I've ended up paying for an SX specification Fiat Doblo but getting a base spec vehicle ! Of course their argument will be that that is what I signed for, and indeed it was. However I only asked them to change the colour of the van and like a fool that's what I checked on the next bit of paperwork not the slight change where the omitted the SX on the van description. Expensive lesson to learn. I knew it would take a while for the van to be delivered. But due to a cock up by Fiat, not helped by lack of action in following up by global, the van was 'lost' at the docks for 5 weeks. After bypassing Global and managing to track down the Fiat dealer they use, Fiat kindly sent me a loan van. Though I had to pay for the temporary insurance on it. NEVER did anyone from Global ring me back after promising to do so, NEVER did they offer to help in any practical way. NEVER deal with them if you value your sanity.

Hi Craig, thank you for your feedback, I do agree that your order didn’t go smoothly, we did have a delay at the docks processing your van which I do apologise for. I gone through your file notes and I can see our salesperson quoted you on four different spec levels/colours of the Fiat Doblo over a period from the 30th April to 22nd May 2015. I don’t feel that we tried to mislead you with the specification of the van, we provided you with seven quotes over a three week period as and when you requested them. We factory ordered your chosen spec vehicle from Fiat so there would have been no issue ordering the SX spec if requested. I agree that the time your vehicle spent at Portbury docks was very out of character for Fiat, we do pride ourselves on our communication updates with our customers and I can see from your file we did contact you by phone, email and text over this period, I’m sorry if you felt we let you down here. We do have a dedicated member of our admin team who liaises with our suppliers to chase up on the progress of our orders so please rest assured we are working hard behind the scenes to ensure our customers have their vehicles as quickly as possible. We have a close working relationship with Fiat and they will do everything they can to help our customers if vehicles are delayed so I’m glad that the loan vehicle was useful. Once again thank you for leasing a new Fiat Doblo from us and I hope your experience doesn’t spoil your enjoyment of your new van.

Hi Neil, thank you for your review. One of our team will call you this morning to go through the figures, I've had a look at the signed order form and the finance documents and I can't see any difference between the two figures. Regarding the delay on your vehicle, I've have a look through the file notes and you placed the order on the 12th June 2015 with an estimated delivery date of the 18th July 2015. This estimated delivery date did fall back to early August when you spoke to our sales manager Simon on the 7th August and it was agreed you would prefer to wait until the new number plate to take delivery. The new 65 registration plate is out on the 1st September so Ford are preparing your vehicle for delivery at the earliest possible date for the new plate. As discussed you'll have a phone call today to go through all these point.

Hi Marusak, thank you for your feedback, I'm sorry that you feel we let you down. I can see that you placed the order on the 11/05 and you took delivery on the 9/6, (approx. 4 weeks turnaround), this is longer than we would typically expect for a stock vehicle which typically takes 10-14 days. this was partly down to a delay on the Ford transport department and partly a delay of 11 days on receiving the finance documents back from you. I do apologise for the Ford delays, they have now resolved this issue but I can appreciate it was annoying at the time. regarding the missing roof rack, again sorry for this, I can see from your file a fitter did come out to you a couple of days later to fit the roof rack. Once again thank you for the business and I hope you enjoy the Ford Transit Custom.

Where do I start..oh yeah DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE THROUGH THIS COMPANY!!!!! The initial service was very good UNTIL they had your deposit then the service fell dramatically. I bought a transit custom through them and there was delays with Ford which I knew Global Vans could not help but I was constantly given false promises and guarantees that they would ring me back with updates. It wasnt until I contacted them about not ringing or emailing me back that they got in contact with me. This happened numerous times. I asked to be put through to the director, Jon, who rang me and I explained the situation to him and he said he would personally look into my case and ring me back that day..NO PHONE CALL back off him and not a phone call since after numerous requests. Terrible terrible service from a supposed reputable company. BNP Paribas took £4200 out of my account without letting me know making me go overdrawn. I didn't even have a delivery date for the van and they had my money. The direct debit went out of my account and I didn't have the van. They seem to be very happy to have your money then the contact pretty much stops...unless you harrass and harrass them to let you know whats going on. I finally got an email saying the van would be delivered and they would give me a call the day after checking that the van was ok and promising some compensation...NO PHONE CALL EVEN TO CHECK WHETHER THE VAN WAS DELIVERED CORRECTLY AND WITHOUT DAMAGE...ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING!!!!. You might wait a bit longer with the dealership but at least you have a face to talk to instead of constantly being on the phone and emailing them....I repeat...do not use this company...if this is how they treat their customers I'm surprised they are still in business. Very disappointed

Hi Ben, thank you for your review. I've gone through your file and I'm genuinely sorry that we've let you down. We do pride ourselves on our communication and have developed a purpose build order management system over the last 13 years which has primary aim of keep customers updated on their orders through phone/email/text messages. I can see from your record we contacted you 14 times during your order. Unfortunately Ford did experience some logistical delays during April and May which caused big issues for all Ford suppliers, these issues have now been resolved but I understand at the time it was very frustrating. I can see from the telephone records on your file we have tried to contact you on a few occasions but didn't manage to get hold of you, I understand you were on holiday for two weeks at the beginning on May. The initial payment for vehicles tend to come out by direct debit a few days after delivery but unfortunately on this occasion the delay on delivery was not notified to the finance company in time so the payment did come out slightly early, again I apologise for this and as discussed we have compensated you for this mistake. I understand your frustration with your order, I agree it didn't go to plan and the delays although out of our control were disrupting. Once again thank you for your business it is very much appreciated, I hope you enjoy your Ford Transit Custom.

Ordered 2 vans, 1st van arrived 2 weeks late, with damage on the door and none of the extras I ordered fitted. It took another 2 full days where the van could not be used for them to fit all the extras. 2nd van arrived 4 weeks late after multiple excuses (supplying dealer sold the van to someone else, transporter was involved in an accident and van damaged beyond repair etc etc etc. I think they must have a book of excuses that they use to fob customers off). The van finally arrived 4 weeks late, not the model I ordered and again with extra items ordered not fitted. Took another 2 weeks and multiple phone calls to get it sorted. When the reversing camera finally did get fitted the screen fell off the very next day. Not impressed at all. I feel I have been lied to from day 1 on both vehicles, the prices agreed have changed a number of times from ordering to delivery. They promise you the world and then when they have your order finally get round to telling you the truth rather than what you want to hear. Had I known what hard work dealing with these poeple was going to be I would have saved myself a lot of trouble and ordered straight from my local Ford Dealer.

Hi Darren, firstly thank you for ordering three Ford Transits, your business is very much appreciated and I do apologise that we've let you down. Having a read through your file notes I see the original order was placed on the 24th September and you took delivery on the 16th October, that was a three week delivery timeframe which I can see is a week later than originally quoted. Ford vans do typically take three weeks, we can speed this up with a quick turnaround of finance documents but unfortunately we didn't received the signed docs back from you until the 30th September. Regarding the non fitment of aftermarket accessories we did contact you on the 10th October to inform you of a delay in fitment and gave you the option to delay the delivery date so we could get these fitted but you requested to continue with the originally delivery date and to fit the parts afterwards as you had a sign writing company booked in. We did get these fitted a couple of days after delivery to your satisfaction. I understand it can be frustrating when delays occur and do apologise if you feel we have mislead you at anytime, we will review these processes and ensure we implement procedures to minimise the potential of this happening again. Thanks once again for placing your third order with us, I will personally ensure everything runs smoothly.
