“Thanks to Haus Direct for a wonderful service, we have no concerns with this company and managed to reach the team on both attempts we made. Product arrived quicker than expected, we will shop again! Thanks for a pleasant experience.”

“AVOID!! Ordered desk with 4-6 weeks delivery. It is now 10 weeks and I am having to waste time getting in touch with Haus Direct to understand the situation. No response from numerous phone calls and emails. No stars if i had the option!”

“Pitiful customer service. Money taken and no hint that I will ever receive my goods. Avoid at all costs.”

“Same as everybody else on this thread, wish I had seen this before. Placed an order 26th June confirming the order and saying money would not be taken until the order is ready to dispatch 6-8 weeks. Money taken the next day. At 6 weeks contacted them for an update and no response. Email, phone or even via their helpdesk account on the website, not a single response. 8 weeks have come and gone and not a single update from them. I have referred the transaction as fraud to my bank and waiting for refund. Will also report to ombudsman. This is just a complete scam of a company. I can't believe they are still in business with so much disrespect to their customers. Do not waste your money and time on them.”

“This seems to be a reoccurring theme but I have also received confirmation of my order and the payment has been taken. No reply from "Customer Services" if they actually exist and stuck in limbo waiting for an order that shows as in stock according to the website. I work in a customer service industry and could never imagine running our business this way.”

“Anonymous's review is totally spot on except the Haus Direct email confirmation is misleading - it says 'payment is not taken until delivery' - this is patently untrue. My order made 5 July has still not arrived - despite 'being in stock, payment taken etc'. Haus cannot have it both ways - are these items in stock or not? Is the website deliberately misleading ? I cannot help but wonder how genuine some of these 5 star reviews are - why are they not suffering the same problem as the rest of us???????”

“There is absolutely nothing wrong with delays during a pandemic. However there this company fails is communication. It should not be the customer's responsibility to chase orders, and liaise with the couriers to ensure they are informed. Customer service isn't just sitting in a office taking orders, customer service should be keeping the customer informed, managing their expectations and treating them like a person. It's the business' responsibility yo manage their supply chain and have their finger on the pulse with regards to shipments, dispatch etc. The model of this business is zero after sales focus, polite staff to hear a customer rant and no relationship with their logistics partners. That's what causes the frustration. I ordered a desk on 16th July and every communication I have had with this company I have made. Its appalling. The negative reviews are a reflection of those customers that despite being let down have continued to be let down and Huas have done nothing to compensate, rectify or compromise with. This business is the worsti have ever dealt with.”

“Just wanted to share my experience with you all, I live 10 minutes from one of the stores and the company used to be based in a large warehouse 11 years ago 20 minutes from me, the same management team were in existence then and are now, sadly the wonderful manager who has serviced my orders personally for the past few years now has been promoted to the cheshire site, been back instore many times to have a browse as they have some an amazing selection and this has got to be one of the quirkiest boutique businesses within a 20 mile radius of me. I love them and for those of you doubting this reputable company who have gone from strength to strength give them some credibility, let’s be honest here who actually leaves a positive comment on every transaction?? I am leaving my review as I was speaking to the young lady in store last week and she politely asked after my purchase if I would mind leaving a review. Now from this I gathered many are being far too agresssive on here and for all these years I have never been asked to leave a comment, I can honest say this company have done more than 100 transactions over the years let’s use some logic and calculate these reviews do you honestly think all those other customers over the years have had a bad experience and even now, this is only a small quantity of customers complaining, im all for supporting local businesses and truly feel these reviews are mis-representing all the positive experiences people have had over the years. We are in a pandemic expect delays, get on with life and find something better to do, this company will deliver just be patient and let them do there job. Rant over, just feel those that provide negative breakdowns, well here’s my positive breakdown on this company that have served me and plenty of other customers over the years. Keep doing what your doing haus direct, your company truly have a unique offering and we love dealing with you. Best wishes Donna x”

“Delivery finally arrived 2 days ago, just finished building my desk, product is fantastic quality and better than expected for the price to be fair. Only gripe would be item took 1 week longer than the customer service team advised me it would, guess in the grand scheme of things 1 week is not 1 month but would be good to be told as we have a busy household and didn’t know what day it would arrive until 2 days before delivery was made, delivery team were good and they did notify me before coming but would be good let me know at the time of my enquiry last week and the team could not tell me. Maybe I am being too critical here but nonetheless it’s here and I am very happy with this buy. You have reinstated my confidence and give you 4/5 for your company rating.”

“Big special thanks to Joe for sorting out my delayed delivery, waited 2 weeks longer than the advertised guideline window, my Silas console table, it’s absolutely beautiful and well built. More than impressed, the delay is nothing but would have been nice to have an update that it was going to be delayed as I did worry but from first hand experiencing with Haus Direct they are legitimate and very polite staff who do actually care about us maybe they just have more orders than they can cope with but on the whole I received reassurances from Joe this would come and it did. Thank you for servicing my transaction as expected and pleased we came to a positive outcome. I will not hesitate to shop with you again. Thank you.”

“5* service and a top quality product! Recieved our order today, cannot believe the quality! Was a little concerned at first as it was over £1500 but Haus Direct delivered and I am sorry to have doubted you guys. Second to none service from these guys, can’t thank you enough, we will certainly recommend you to our friends.”

“Amazed by the negative reviews as we had a straight forward experience and one that you would expect to experience form any reputable brand, we received various updates from the start of our order and then a delivery booking. Sam based on the North west office was very helpful indeed and was very attentive. Delivery team were brilliant and provide a delivery slot. No issues in our service levels at all, personally speaking make your own judgement and those who are complaining maybe unlucky on the product choice. We will be back!! Thanks haus.”

“I ordered a Marlborough desk on 29 June 2020. The website showed that this item was "in stock" (stock of 4) and the website quoted a delivery time of 10 to 20 working days. The cost £219 was debited to my card on 1 July. Then nothing. I waited, and waited, and waited. I raised two tickets on their website ... no response at all. Eventually on 24 July I telephoned their helpdesk and spoke to Rahul, who was polite but couldn't help much. He explained that, as an international company "in stock" on their English website actually meant that it was in Germany! He said that a shipment (presumably a container) had recently arrived with their shipping company in Suffolk and he thought that my desk might be in it, but it had not yet been scanned into their system. He thought it possible that it might be ready for delivery the following week...... but no delivery. In the last week of August, I finally received a message from ITD Express asking me to contact them to arrange a delivery date. The desk was finally delivered on 7 September. A google maps search of this company's UK address shows a small retail shop - they do not appear to have any UK warehouse storage. This is one of the worst companies I have ever dealt with on-line. Their website gives incorrect information about stock and delivery times. They take your money immediately, then do not respond to messages or complaint emails. If you manage to get through they are polite, but unable to give any meaningful information. The actual desk is a nice solid piece of furniture and I am pleased with it. However the same desk (an identical picture) is available under different names from at least two other companies' websites. What a shame that I chose the wrong one.”

“Great product selection, made my second purchase from this company and can’t fault my experience at all both times. I’m not sure if everyone’s complaints may relate to desks but I’ve purchased a sofa which came from Holland from haus in 4 weeks and stated 4-6 weeks and second time round purchased a Silas console table and this came in 3 weeks despite it showing 6-8 weeks. Desks I can see are mentioned frequently on the negative comments, maybe worth reading the lead times noted on the product page before buying as I didn’t expect a next day service when placing and order and certainly didn’t need to call them every week for an update as it stated the timeframe. Would not hesitate to buy from here for the third time. Thanks for looking after us again haus. Personally I think your doing a fantastic job.”

“Appalling. We placed an order and paid £219 for a desk on 24 June 2020. We were assured delivery within 6 weeks. We still have not received it. Haus says if you log in for delivery date it will advise you when the product is coming but it just says "status processing" . We have now made over 20 phone calls. As Haus uses a call centre no-one is responsible and our calls and emails are not returned. Today when we asked for our money back we were told someone would contact us. No-one has called us and our money has not been refunded. We would never recommend anyone to use Haus. We have not yet seen the product but if it is anything like the service it does not bode well.”
