“Have not received it yet”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Hi Peter, I was disappointed to read your review about not receiving your item. Your item was placed under standard delivery timescales which can take up to 5 working days - having checked your parcels tracking it shows your parcel is expected to be delivered today - which will be 1 day earlier than the 5-day delivery timescale. This was confirmed by one of my Customer Services Team to you earlier. Regards Keith - Group Customer Services Manager

“The machine didn't work no water went through to wash,and in the filter was all brown fluff,very poor was very disappointed as it was a good price, the return was worse. My son had to travel to st Neots as I couldn't carry it 2 shops refused it in the end a petrol station took it why can't you use Hermes who would have collected from house”

Hi Joy, Thanks for your informative review. I was sorry to read your comments regarding the difficulties encountered with the return of your product. Rest assured we hold close relationships with our appointed courier partners for customer returns - I can see that the petrol station you mention in your review which accepted your parcel was indeed the closest returns outlet from your address. It only leaves me to apologise for any inconvenience caused. Keith - Group Customers Services Manager

“Bought a hand mixer and all good at first. Union Jack on the label, made me proud that we can still make good things. Then I read the small print on the label at the bottom of the box and, guess what It says: “Made in China”. How disappointing! Can we not manufacture any more? Must we rely on a country that is destroying Hong Kong and is completely oblivious to human rights!”

“As I said there are no real instructions. Only really how to set it up. You list items, weights, time, and temperature but nothing to guide you as to what shelf! Does it matter? Yes if you want your chips either burnt to a crisp or done so that they're lightly tanned on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside. Or your steak either well done or rare! It matters. Plus compared to the same product under a different name in South Africa you AirOven only comes with half of the cooking utensils. They're obviously needed or they wouldn't make them and include them. Yes, English cooking is different to South Africa, but we live in a multi cultural society today that cook global recipes today. Maybe I've bought the wrong airfryer.”

“Took a long time to resolve this. I had to buy a replacement kettle in the meantime. It was eventually resolved & a replacement is being sent. I also do not understand why you use a premium rate Telephone number.”

Hi Dave, Thanks for your review. Having had the opportunity to read your review as well as investigate your communications with ourselves I can see our efforts to resolve your enquiry were delayed by multiple messages being received as well as you not being able to provide the warranty details for your product. Once these were passed across to ourselves we were able to resolve your enquiry fully for you. I can also confirm that our Customer Services contact number is not a premium rate number. Regards Keith - Group Customer Services Manager

“I purchased a Tower cordless vacuum Invoice 12579 order number 13658 and their was a fault. I contacted customer services and Natasha was my contact, Ref 527329. We exchanged 17 e-mails and I provided all the information she asked.. I was informed that their was no replacement vacuum available until October. I said I could not be without the cleaner for that long so could I have a refund. Since asking for that I have heard nothing.”

“Two-stars at the moment, as I feel that these issues need highlighting to warn people. I'll edit, as things progress. I ordered on July 3rd and paid with PayPal. This uses an email address that I use just for PayPal, for security reasons. I did not hear from them, so sent an email (from my personal email address, replying to the order receipt so it's clear which order it refers to) on July 7th asking for an update (and a refund on the delivery fee charged in error), and a follow-up on July 14th. I eventually heard from them on July 20th, with a number of a logistics partner to ring. Tower did process a refund for the shipping fee (received on July 28th - thank you). I rang the logistics partner on July 20th. They were excellent, and arranged delivery for July 22nd. The logistics partner commented that the PayPal checkout had not given them contact details for me (to arrange delivery), so they had requested that off Tower. Tower had not responded to them. The item (a BBQ) arrived on July 22nd, but was scratched in places, dented in other places, and - critically - several manufacturing issues and missing parts that made it impossible to assemble. I suspect they sent me a previous customer return of a faulty product, but can't be sure. I sent two emails on July 23rd, with photos to document the problems and request a replacement or refund. I sent a reminder, asking for an update, on July 29th. I did eventually hear (after posting my initial review here, and escalating the issue via resolver.co.uk - I recommend that!). I am now awaiting the replacement, and will update later. I suspect that they are overwhelmed, but communication could be clearer, and for a high cost item I would expect better. The service I received has been in breach of their own T&Cs, and in breach of The Consumer Rights Act 2015, which is a minimum standard that can be expected, even in Covid times. As Tower have no complaints process, and a customer service department that is overwhelmed and/or non-responsive, it is a frustrating experience. I would therefore urge caution - I think the company have some technical issues with emails; a backlog of emails that they seem unable to get through efficiently; and some dodgy stock amongst other products. So, if you order, and the contact details go through, and the product is good quality, then you'll be fine. However, if there are any issues with the order or the product, then I suspect you will have a long wait for any replies, that is bound to be very frustrating. So, if you need something to arrive (intact) soon, then I would choose elsewhere for now... I really feel sorry for the staff, who must be super-stressed, but there must be a better way than the current situation, that is upsetting so many customers.”

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that you are unhappy with our service. Unfortunately we are extremely busy at the moment and did not have chance to reply to your email but as soon as I got information off our sales team that we didn't have the information that we require to get your order sent out to you I emailed you. I did refund you your delivery charge as soon as you mentioned that you had been charged for delivery. As you have been emailing into us with two different email addresses your previous email to us was not picked up. We are looking into why PayPal did not pick your phone number up from your order, please note that this is something that will be revised in the future. I have personally emailed you to hopefully resolve your issue so if you could reply back with your desired outcome that would be great. Take care, Carina @Towerhousewares

“Purchased a new Presto Evaporative Air Cooler today. Having set it up I notice the x 2 ice packs are missing. Annoying, it is 28 degrees today. I have reported this via email - all staff are working from home. If I receive the missing packs in a timely manner and the cooler works effectively I will upgrade this score. Take note staff I can be very irritating!”

“Products are fine , such a shame that like most other websites finding your way around them are a nightmare. I want to extend my warranty, but no directions as how to do this. Do we just have to guess?. Please get someone with COMMON SENSE to sort this.”

“I ordered the brushed steel version, & got black! Adding insult to injury, when I registered the guarantee, entering the model number gave me a pic of the brushed steel version that I didn't actually get. Tried entering the only other number on the base (no "serial number" shown) but that wasn't accepted. And as if that wasn't enough, enclosed paperwork offered a FREE extended guarantee, but on registering, got just the standard. I will never buy a Tower product again. Especially as it was only when I turned it upside down to try & find the (non-existent) serial number, I found it was made in China. I haven't knowingly bought Chinese-made products for 40+ years & think that where your products are made should be obviously stated on your website. There was also no free delivery, as promised when I started the order. VERY disappointed customer.”
