“Unfortunately 1 item was badly damaged (which was obvious on outside packaging) and the 2nd item had lots of wrong bits, so the tall boy couldn't be made up .... Just as we moved house, when we needed the furniture!! Feeling Disappointed!!!”

“The website did not explain clear enough that my dining table could be bought on its own or as part of a set. I had to buy the chairs seperatly which ended up costing a lot. The table is cheap looking, and the colour wiped away with a disinfectant spray leaving white marks.”

Hello Janis Thank you for your feedback, We do provide a link in the product information section of our product page. Admittedly it could be slightly larger and clearer on the page, so rest assured this has been fed back to our content to team to review in order for this information to be easier to access. In regards to the quality of the product endevour to quality check as many orders as possible, however with the volumes passing through our distribution hub this is not possible on every occasion. We do however offer a 14 day returns policy to enable our customers to return items if they are dissatisfied or they have simply changed their mind. I have made contact in reference to the issues raised with the table and look forward to working with you to find a suitable resolution. Kind regards Tyrone

“I ordered a dining table and 4 chairs. I waited in all day as the delivery men could not give me a time. They eventually turned up at 5.30pm. To add to this, the table we were given could not be assembled as fixtures were wrong. We are still waiting for our replacement to be delivered- two weeks later- I spent £398 for this. Very poor, would not use again!!”

“Terrible communication. Online chat just stopped half way through the conversation. Called to get a delivery date. No delivery dates. Was it in stock? Yes.. Ok will it be a week? A month? We will email you when it's coming. But I need it now. 10 days later still no delivery. Can I have a refund? No reply! I'm still waiting for an answer or my sink and vanity unit.”

Hello Tonya Thank you for your feedback, My apologies that their seems to have been a few issues regarding your ordering process. In reference the delivery timescales, we can only offer our timescales until the order has been picked up by our courier service and a delivery date has been confirmed. We typically advise 4-7 working days for an having looked into this i can see that you cancelled this on the 5th working day. Unfortunately it does take to the latter stages of these delivery estimations and this is something which has happened in this case.Furthermore in reference to our previous correspondence, i can also see that you order has been refunded now. My apologies that you have experienced dissatisfaction on this occasion we advise all customers to check delivery timescales prior to ordering to ensure that they are happy with the timescales provided.Kind Regards Tyrone

“The item purchased was not up to standard and sized incorrectly which means I had to go to the trouble of returning it. I received an email telling me when the delivery would be if convenient but as I would be on holiday I asked for the date to be changed and left instructions where the item could be left if I was not in on that date. This email was totally ignored and I received 2 texts whilst abroad telling me they were delivering on the first date. Texts I had to pay for. On my return I found they had tried to deliver although they had had no ok answer from me to the texts and then the whole procedure started again with emails and dates. Not really impressed.”

“After looking at various bathroom retailers, shops and on the web, for me Matalan Direct came up tops. Lovely service all round from ordering to delivery and the quality of the bath, toilet , taps etc are great. My builder said how well made everything is made for the price and the over all finish is lovely. If we had bought anywhere else we would have paid a small fortune. Have had lots of lovely compliments. To say we are very pleased is a bit of an under statement at last we have a gorgeous dream bathroom. Well done and a big Thank You, Matalan.”

Hello Andrew, Thanks for your feedback. I appreciate your concern regarding our current remote area delivery costs. Although we are aware that certain areas are not ordinarily classed as a remote area we are bound by the cost attributed to your area by our current logistics infrastructure . We review our logistics operation on week to week basis and I'm sure it wont be long before we are able to offer much more competitive rates for all of our delivery methods in all parts of the UK. I'm sorry that we are unable to offer you a more competitive rate at this time. Kind regards, Tyrone

Hello Debbie, Thanks for your feedback. Having looked into your order I can see that unfortunately your initial order was damaged however this got resolved with a replacement seat being despatched. You mentioned there was no reply to your email, I am unable to locate a second email to hello@matalandirect.com which has lead me to the conclusion that it must have been sent to the courier service DPD. I have been in contact with DPD and i can confirm that your item will be back at the pick up shop at an estimated time of 2-3 days. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused regarding this issue and your feedback has been passed onto our courier service to prevent reoccurrence. Kind Regards Tyrone
