Hello Paul, I am sorry to hear that your radiator did not arrive as expected. The radiator that you ordered has a 1-3 day delivery window, this is stated on the website and also on your order confirmation email. We dispatched your order the following morning and you would have received a dispatch notification email to confirm this, containing the tracking details so you can follow the progress of your delivery. I can see that unfortunately the radiator was lost in transit with the couriers. Whilst this does not happen often, I appreciate that it is very frustrating when it does occur. It can be for reasons such as the label becoming detached/damaged and they are then unable to advise who this is for. Unfortunately, we did not have any further stock of this, and therefore we offered for this to be put on backorder, the offer of an alternate size, or a full refund. I can confirm that we have processed the full refund as requested. We periodically review our couriers, as whilst we are not directly responsible for the delivery ourselves, we understand that we appoint the delivery company, and appreciate how delivery is a vital part of the online ordering experience. Whilst this does not help this current situation, I can advise that updates are being made to the system with Tuffnells, to significantly improve tracking. This is something that we have been pushing for, for some time and will be coming into place across the summer. Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with. Best regards, James

“Radiator delivered had a dent at the bottom which was only noticed when the fitter was on site and ready to install. Too late to return. The actual package had no dents in the box so the radiator was clearly faulty when packed. Good quality control before delivery would have avoided this. I’ve never received damaged goods from Amazon over the hundreds of items of all sizes and type received. WHY IS THIS BEYOND UK RADIATORS.”

Hello Roger, I am sorry to hear that you have found some damage to your radiator. For every order placed, we send a text message to advise that you check items upon delivery to ensure they are suitable and as expected. Whilst we wouldn't expect damage, it does allow time to get this rectified before a trader arrives should this be the case. We do however understand the frustration this has caused, as the radiator has been installed, we can offer a 10% refund as a gesture, and some touch-up paint to help cover any damaged paint. I will arrange for this to be processed and you will be emailed to confirm this. Kind regards, James

“I spent £££ on two electric radiators. One of them didn't work and UK Radiators spent days asking me completely irrelevant questions by email and not replying to my messages. finally, a replacement arrived and that was also broken. The whole sorry process started again but this time I heard nothing for days. The only way I finally got it resolved was by contacting the manufacturer directly. I now have two working radiators (months after I bought them). The final radiator that arrived was badly scratched and dented but i needed to fit it as the room was freezing without it.”

Hello Andrew, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you had an issue with one of the radiators on your order. I can see that you contacted us to advise of the issue, which we passed to the supplier for them to investigate. We passed on their suggestions and requests for more information to you so that they could try and get this resolved, with as least amount of inconvenience to yourself, and with the hope of not needing to have this replaced to save you having to have the radiator removed and swapped with a different one. I can see that each time you contacted us, we relayed this information straight away, and responded either the same or the following day. There was a longer delay at one point, however, we had advised you that the supplier was experiencing delays with their systems. I do appreciate that a faulty radiator in winter is not a pleasant experience for anyone, which is why we did what we could to help as much as possible, whilst following the supplier's procedures. Once you had made us aware that there was an issue with the replacement, we again contacted the supplier, who advised us that you had also contacted them directly (within the same hour of contacting us) and that they would liaise with you directly to get this resolved. I apologise that we did not pass this information on to you, however, we believed you were both in contact with each other directly. We will take your comments on board, to see if there is any way we can improve in the future. Kind regards, James

“Sorry to have to do this because the initial sale and delivery was great. However I had some damage on a top grill of the radiator. I AM STILL WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT. Several weeks later, I have been told twice that it is coming from the supplier on the next day last time was 2 days ago still heard nothing from you . You want a good review !”

Hello Michael, I am very sorry to hear that your order arrived with damage. I can see that a replacement top grille was processed as soon as we were made aware of the damage. Unfortunately, the replacement did not pass our quality control tests, so another was ordered from the supplier. This was placed on back order, as the supplier was waiting for more stock. I can see that this has since been delivered to you. As it was only the top grille affected, the radiator has still been able to be installed and used, with the top grille swapped over once received. Kind regards, James

Hello, I am sorry that you experienced what you felt to be a bad experience with us. From your communication with us, I can see that when the order was placed, that an old address of yours was used by you by accident, you made us aware of this a week after ordering by which point the order had already been dispatched. We queried this with the courier system, who had advised that the recipient at this address had refused delivery of this, and that it would be returned to us. We made you aware of this, and as you still wanted the radiator we advised that we would raise a replacement. Unfortunately we were now out of stock of this size, so we would have to wait for this radiator to be returned to us by the courier, so we could check it and re-send to your correct address. Returned items are not a priority for couriers, and within one week we had received two messages from you threatening us with Trading Standards and legal action if we did not dispatch your item or issue a refund. As we did not have the item back yet, we followed your request to raise a refund, one week after you advised us of the address issue. I am very sorry that we could not get this radiator to you quicker, however it stresses the importance of checking all details are correct before submitting an order, and also checking your order confirmation email. Best regards, James

Hello, I am sorry to hear that there was an issue with your order and needed to return this. This review was the first that we had heard of this, and when we contacted you, you advised us that you had been speaking with the supplier for your radiator directly. Once aware, we checked with the supplier, and raised your refund on the same day. We hope that this has solved the situation for you, and re-assured you that we will do whatever we can to assist. Kind regards, James

Hello Caroline, I am very sorry that there has been a delay with your radiator. I can see that when your order was placed, that this was out of stock, with the delivery date to be confirmed. Unfortunately, there has been a delay at the ports on this container, which has moved the due date back, I do apologise. Whilst we do everything we can so that there are not any delays, there can unfortunately from time-to-time be delays beyond out control. We understand that any delay is frustrating, which is why we let you know as soon as we are aware, and give you the option to change to something different, or cancel the item if necessary. We will continue to keep you updated on any changes to this, and when the order is dispatched. Kind regards, James

Hello Glynis, I am sorry to hear that you have not yet received your whole order. I can see that when you placed your order, these radiators were out of stock, with an expected date in the lead up to Christmas. Unfortunately, there were delays to these arrival dates due to delays with the shipment arriving at the port. It is always unfortunate when a delay happens, and I appreciate that this can be frustrating. I can see that we have messaged you, as soon as we were made aware of the delay to keep you informed. If you would like to discuss this further, then please feel free to call me on 0333 006 8227. Kind regards, James

“Bought 3 rads and thermostatic valves one rad seems blocked and 1 thermostatic valve not adjusting. Phoned today. The agent sounded half sleep, had to repeat everything twice as he was not with it. Asked me to send video of valve not working, how can a video show a T valve not functioning, its a valve Also scratches on rads even though they were packed. Already paid to have them fitted who's going to pay to have them taken off and refitted. Not happy at all with the service up now.”

“Unfortunately the rad that was due to be delivered on 23rd November still has arrived and it’s 12th Dec. May not get a plumber now as it gets nearer to Christmas. UK Rads don’t seem overly active about hunting it down. Parcelforce may have been effected by action but not for a while and it’s been sitting in their depot for an age and I can’t speak with them but the supplier can.”

“I bought 2 rads that were to be delivered 3 days later. Having builders on site and ready to do the job, this was important. One arrived and is a lovely rad. The other has now been delayed 3 times and likely to arrive some 2 months after the first. The builders have been and gone now... Maybe don't accept an order if you can't fulfil it?”

“Almost a month to deliver a radiator that according to their delivery timescales should have taken 5-7 working days. Seemed more interested in sending countless marketing emails rather than actually delivering the product that I had ordered. Emailed to find out what was going on with delivery and then had to chase again 3 days later to find out what was going on. The delays meant that I had to get the radiator installed as a separate job rather than as part of other plumbing works that I had booked in meaning additional costs incurred. I will never be using them again and I'd suggest that you don't either!”

Hello Ian, I am very sorry to hear that your radiator took longer to be delivered than expected. Unfortunately the supplier had some issues which they had not made us aware of, I do apologise. Whilst we do not usually expect delays, unfortunately from time to time these can happen, which is why we always advise not to book any traders, until the item has been received and checked. I can see that we were able to confirm the delivery date to you, and that this was safely delivered on the new expected date. Kind regards, James

We do take every step possible to ensure all the correct items are received, just sometimes on rare occasions something like this can happen.

Hello Ryan, Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that your order was delivered later than originally expected. There have unfortunately been delays with the manufacture and testing of the new thermostatic elements that were part of your order. I have listened to your phone call and can see we advised you that this was delayed. This was followed up by a further email at the beginning of August to advise the current situation and to provide you with options should this not be suitable. It is always frustrating for everyone involved when items are delayed, however, sometimes this is beyond our control. We will always advise customers if this is the case, and give them the option to change, cancel or wait for their order. I am sorry that this has left you disappointed, this is of course not our intention. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do at this stage to help with your order. Kind regards, James
