Ordered and paid for desk in june was advertised as in stock. Am still waiting for delivery date. Been trying to get through for weeks finally spoke to someone last week who said the in stock item had been Delivered from Germany. Had an email saying they would respond to my request for a delivery date over a week ago but guess what no response. Finally after trying repeatedly to get through today managed to cancel my order. Advise anyone else looking to order furniture from this company to go elsewhere. Customer service is shockingly poor.

Ordered two chars on 19th of July. Tried to call the customer services several times but nobody answered the phone. once I tried and called the sales time and bingo, the phone was answered straight away. The lady tried to connect me with the customer care but she couldn't get hold of anyone. She promised to raise it with the higher management but had no response from them whatsoever. After getting fed up, filled a form to claim my money back through my credit card. The following day, I received a message from the delivery company to book a delivery day. Honestly, the delivery company ITD Express were way more impressive than Haus Direct as they answered my emails straight away and resolved the issues for us.

Thank you for your comments Hedayat. We are sorry to hear you have not had a good experience in reaching our team promptly and we value your feedback reflecting on the experience you have encountered with us. We would like to just breakdown your transaction a little further and hope you don't mind just to add further clarity with some facts in our defence, firstly you placed your order on the 19th July and today it is the 7th of July that is 15 working days, it appears you did not experience any issues with your transaction timeframe as your order has been delivered in the 'usual' 5-15 working days noted against the Dorset chairs you purchased from us, so there should be no concerns with your delivery timeframe, we hope this fact is evident in your experience with us. Secondly the number which you called to reach our team is the one noted on our contact page, this is a new introduction with additional support team members to help deal with the increased level of enquiries we are experiencing, we are pleased to hear the team were responsive in answering your concerns at the time. Your case was internally passed to our booking team which naturally prompted our couriers to reach out to you to confirm your concerns raised at the time. We advertise a usual window for delivery completion, this is not a guaranteed window but an good indicator to use at the time of your purchase. This delivery information is noted below the 'add to cart' button, if this is noted by you for a future purchase it may help settle any concerns you have on your transaction as we have made no wrong doing on your transaction in regards to the timeframe. Our transport partners ITD always book in our deliveries for transactions in which they oversee, we are pleased to learn they have carried out the services as expected, they are a great ambassador of our brand and we will pass on your comments to them. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we hope you don't mind us reaching out to you as we feel your 1 star rating is a little harsh in relation to the services and timeframe along with product quality you have received from our company on the whole.

Ordered a desk on 9th June and have been chasing on when I will receive the item ever since. I eventually got hold of you at the end of July and you explained the desk you received from your supplier was the worry colour but you had the plain white one in stock. I accepted the plain white desk and you said it would be passed to your courier company to arrange delivery. This was now 2 weeks ago and I have had no communication from them or you. I have emailed and tried calling but no response. Very poor and disappointing service and still have no idea if or when I will receive my order.

I ordered a desk from these cowboys on 16/7. The money £179 was taken immediately. I have tried to contact these people via their website, email and telephone. They do not respond. I am looking at doing a charge back against these people because I am appalled at their lack of service. I have ordered multiple items online during this lockdown, nobody else has offered such a poor 'service'

this is what the email acknowledging my order made on 5 July 2020 says: Please note that this e-mail is an acknowledgement that your order has been received by us. Your offer to purchase these goods shall only be deemed to be accepted by us when we dispatch the goods at which point payment will be taken. It is our policy to process your order in a timely manner so you receive your purchase as soon as possible subject to release by our third party fraud screening service. As cash was taken from my account the following day is it unreasonable to believe the order has been dispatched? Why is it one month later the order has still not been received? I am referring this to Trading Standards.

Ordered a desk 26/06 still waiting for delivery despite still showing in stock.I have sent emails, messaged via Social media and telephoned where a call handler just takes your number and promises a call back that doesn't happen.The next step will be Trading Standards,even if this is a legitimate company their customer service is embarrassing.

I ordered a TV cabinet on 23rd May 2020 and it said that it was in stock. I've phoned and left messages and someone was supposed to be getting back to me, I've filled in the online query form and even requested a refund through their ticket system but I've still not received any replies. It's very frustrating because I do still want the TV cabinet but the communication from this company has been poor and I really don't like to complain but I'm at the end of my patience now.

Beyond bad. It's not even worthy of 1 star. Ordered a desk that was in stock more than a month ago and it never got delivered. Tried to cancel the order and it's impossible -- they say that the sales team will contact me to process the refund but (of course) they never do. I have sent email; fill out the form on the website; called several times and can NEVER cancel the order.

I ordered desk on 26th May - it said "in stock - 5-10 days delivery" I finally received desk today on 28th July I like the desk, it's well made, was well delivered by couriers with good communication and updates and was a good price I didn't like the two months of my life I wasted on countless emails, phone calls, social etc. to try and get updates Pause your advertising, employ more staff and be better at customer service Also don't say items can be delivered in 10 days when they can't To those worrying that this is a scam, they aren't, they are real, they just have some significant problems managing their business at the moment - and if they've really had 8x increase in demand - then my sympathy is limited - how many businesses in the UK would kill for any increase in demand at the moment - lots

I ordered an Anja sofa from HAUS Direct. I've spent the past two weeks calling the company to get replacement screws. I'm put through to some call handling service that say's they will send an urgent message to the company to contact me back but nobody ever does reply or come back to me. Judging by all the terreible reviews, this website is a scam.

Thank you for your comments Walter. We are sorry to learn about your concerns raised. We feel we would like to make your experience transparent since you have taken the time to put your opinion across and we hope you don't mind us sharing some of the facts on your case. Firstly you are fully aware this is not a scam website as you are evidently in possession of the Anja sofa which we have delivered to the purchaser of this item as per our contractual obligation to do so to the purchaser of this item in which we opened engagement with directly at the time of this purchase as you advise us we have done so over 1 year ago, this is a fact. Walter, we hope you don't mind us saying this but to go into any store whether online or in store and ask for such requests for replacement parts without any proof of purchase is always going to be a challenge in itself unfortunately, we appreciate you have offered to pay for these 2 replacement leg screws and we will certainly try our best to provide an outcome for you if at all possible. Please note however to come back to us over 1 year later to inform us that you are looking to source 2 screws for the sofa legs is not something we can advise immediately nor easily achieve, this requires some time for our team to investigate into the options available in regards to the type of screws you may require, are these screws still available? These are questions we need to break down and also ascertain if the manufacturing supply chains are still the same for this model in relation to the fittings, these are small challenges we need to investigate into and are not able to answer over the phone please be aware of this, you have placed an enquiry with us and have not placed an order with us that you are waiting on or that we have failed to fulfil please lets make this clear as your statement directed to us does not state any of these facts in the concern you have made public. You emailed us with this information on Friday 24th of July, today is the Monday 27th July, our first working day back in the office since being in receipt of your request following the weekend closure of our customer care operation, we are trying to assist you with your enquiry in which you have also advised us you cannot locate these parts locally hence approaching us directly as this appears to be a specialist screw you feel , as our team have advised you on the telephone on Friday before your email was sent we will look into this for you and this is not something that is covered under any warranty when you report a missing screw over 1 year later from the delivery point made to the original purchaser of the item, especially when it is not yourself who purchased the item in the first instance nor took delivery of the product, we have reached out to you for an order number and you do not have this as this item was ordered by someone else and therefore we have no contract nor obligation here however as advised we will happily look into this for you regardless of these facts on the matter. We believe given the nature of your comments it is only fair to expose the truth in your enquiry and if you require any further support please contact us directly as trying to obtain screws by leaving a negative review will unfortunately not help your case any further given the information you have provided us to date being extremely limited. Our team will be in touch once our partnering manufacturers can acknowledge the screws required to provide you with some kind of remedy to the situation you are facing. We hope our clarity on this matter helps support your initial concerns raised. Thank you for your patience in the meantime. Customer Care Team H A U S D I R E C T

I placed an order and paid in full for a desk on 30 June that was in stock. I emailed a couple of weeks later as I’d heard nothing about delivery dates apart. Heard nothing so have called twice and was answered by a lady that sounded like a call handling service. Both times I was promised I’d be called back but that didn’t happen. I then raised a ticket as i was not being responded to by customer services and heard nothing apart from confirmation that my query had been received and they’d been in touch. I called again this morning and emailed my ticket reference to customer service again And just getting no Where. I order items on line all the time and I’ve actually ordered more throughout the covid-19 period Than usual and other companies who experience supply problems communicate with their customers. This company absolutely doesn’t. This is a genuine review and think some of the more positive ones on here are put on by the staff. Listen to the majority and do not use this company. I Have left yet another Message today telling them that unless they reply within 7 days I will have to go back to my credit card company to make a Re-claim and will also report then to trading standards. I really don’t want to do this and never had to take this kind of action before but unless you come back to me directly I will have to

Your level of customer service is the worst I have experienced! I ordered 2 Richmond glass top office desk from you on the 9th June 2020, and was told to expect delivery by the 2nd week in July. I have tried on numerous occasions to call your office and each time I have been held holding for 10-15 minutes only to be told that you can’t take my call, to leave a message and someone will get back to me only to be told your mailbox is full! On one occasion I managed to leave my details, order number etc., and no one returned my call! On Friday 17th July, I called the main office, and they promised to pass on my details to have someone call me - no phone call. Even if there is a delay in my goods being delivered CUSTOMER SERVICES should be contacting me, or at least be contactable to update me on the situation. Your level of service is appallingingly unacceptable. Where is your customer care!! Don’t hide behind the demand for your products due to the coronavirus, other companies have the same experience but they still show respect for their customers by opening up communication channels and responding to messages. Your mailbox has been full all week, I suspect you have an enormous amount of unsatisfied customers. I demand you return my money in order for me to purchase my office desk from a more professional and reputable company.

Absolutely dreadful! I echo what everyone else is saying. Ordered on 16th June and it’s now 23rd July and still waiting. Numerous phone calls to the 0333 number and get through to switchboard, leave a message with the operator and no one bothers to call back. I was told my desk was dispatched and arriving from Germany which is why the money has been taken. Don’t believe this. Shoddy company. No notification or any communication to say there is a delay. They just want your money. I am going to see if I can raise this an an exception with the credit card company and report this to trading standards. Awful way to conduct business. Stay away from this company.

Ordered a desk on 22nd June, item showing as in stock. I’ve raised a ticket through their website and have called 5 times now. The receptionist has promised that someone will call me back but I’m still waiting! I understand that there are delays at this time, all I’m asking for is some communication to give me an idea of a delivery date. I’ve placed orders with other companies recently who are experiencing delays and have been kept informed throughout. They have asked if I’m still happy to wait or if I would like a refund. Haus Direct are providing unacceptable customer service. Customers could be kept informed via a mailmerge if you are struggling to contact people individually, it’s really not difficult. Please contact me to give me an update.

I ordered a desk on 15th June with an expected time frame of 10-20 working days for delivery (now 26) - item showing as in stock. I have tried emailing (no response) and left 2 messages with reception for a call back within 48 hrs (not received). All I want after reading some reviews from customers saying that have been waiting 3 months is to know is realistic timescale for how much longer I should need to wait so that I can make the decision on whether to cancel the order or continue waiting. I understand these are difficult times but you shouldn't be promising customers a call back if you can't adhere to it & should be managing customers expectations. Other than keep calling every 2 days & praying for a response, I don't know what else to do. If no response if received I will be left with no alternative but to put a chargeback on the transaction.

Our desk arrived yesterday after a long delay. After reading negative reviews we were concerned about ever getting our order, but were reassured by Haus Direct when we contacted the company. Trading during a pandemic must be a nightmare for companies trying to import and distribute orders. Thanks to Sam and an efficient courier our desk finally reached us and has been successfully assembled and put into use. Thank you Haus Direct and good luck with future trading. Please everyone be patient!

Order placed on the 21st June, delivery for my order was between 14 - 20 days. As we have had no communication I have been trying to contact you since the 7th July. I have left three answerphone messages, sent two emails, filled out on your online form and left a message with your reception requesting an update on the delivery. I appreciate that we are in challenging times however this lack of customer service is just not acceptable, I see your standard response is please call our 0333 number, I have already done this and was told I would be called back with 48 hours which hasn't happened. If you have any interest in resolving my complaint then please contact me, asking me to contact you when that is what I have been trying to do for 2 weeks without success isn't very helpful.
