Easy smooth transaction, best price too👍🏻

I purchased an American fridge from ao.com recently and I have to say the service has been fantastic. We had to put back our delivery day quite a few times due to renovation work at our property. During this time the fridge reduced in price and they was happy to honour the reduction and refund us. On delivery day the delivery guys were so careful and helpful. Thank you so much AO, keep doing what you do as it’s amazing.

Ordered online. Courtsey call from customer services to confirm delivery etc. Excellent service from delivery team today. Washing machine itselfs looks great. Once I've installed it I'm sure will be fab. Can't fault AO... Not my first time using them, won't be the last either.

Returns Process - Difficult

Very difficult return process for damaged items! First you have to email photos. Then you have to call customer service. Having waited 30min to get through, customer service told me that they will send me a form that I need to fill in, then I need to send it to the damage team and they would be in touch with further instructions! I am shocked with this long and convoluted process. While returns for unwanted items can be easily requested online, for damaged items they have this long and difficult process, which puts me off from ever ordering anything again from this web site!

ao what can i say total let down there delivery partners don't know how to use a sat nav ordered a air fryer to be delivered again by DPD first day it couldn't be delivered sent a photo of a door that was not mine returned the item to their depo i contacted ao straight away and was told it would come following day so had to cancel my plans to await delivery again it was delivered to a different address then to a key store i called ao again they couldn't understand but would look into it so they called me following day at 8-9 am and said they would pay a taxi for me to go and collect i said no as i am ill with lung and heart disease so i canceled the order said i want my money returned they said once the item is returned to them they would do that and that it could take upto a week or longer for the item to reach them then id have to wait 3-5 working days for monies to be returned they must hold a lot of money this way as it will be a revolving system ie returns and all the time only ones making on this is ao ie interest in their account for something that i never recieved never even seen the box or the driver why should i have to wait this length of tom to get funds back i've used ao for years even when my partner was alive but never again that i sware on they now ow me for calls from scotland to bolton which were not quick calls being put on hold for periods of time so when the bill comes in i shall be sending it to them the said i would get a ÂŁ30 voucher to use if i spend over ÂŁ60 that's a joke i will be speaking to my solicitor tomorrow about another matter but i will mention all this to him see what hes got to say

Refunds - Difficult

I have a full refund but advise unless you have a modern house A0 is not for you.

Great if everything is ok but if your product is faulty no help at all. They provide the manufacturers details and tell you to deal with them. I bought Google ear buds for a Christmas gift, they don't work and I have to pay for another set before Google America will replace then hope for a refund. Really put me off ever using them again.

If I could, I will leave rating as 0. The worst company to deal with, really unfriendly customer service team. Their driver broke the washing machine while brining it in , now I have no machine for another 3 days and there would not offer any compensation for this until the new deliery is complete and I have to call them again if I want any compensation, they would not automatically refund connection/disconnection charge as a good will.
