I ordered a Grohe Rainshower Ceiling F10, and was delivered a Rainshower F10. The difference lies in the mounting. My delivery note says Rainshower Ceiling F10 with the product code for the Rainshower F10. The company refuses to pay return costs as the claim to have delivered the correct product based on the product number. I unsuccessfully tried to convince a very rude customer services representative that as a customer I rely on the product description and product picture and cannot be expected to double check the product numbers for every oder I make. In fairness, I have to say that the person I spoke to first, before the case was handed over to customer services was very helpful and tried to exchange the product which was unfortunately not possible. Be aware, that TradeTaps relies heavily on drop shipment meaning that orders are fulfilled by third parties and make sure you double check all product numbers when you decide to order. Otherwise, you might well end up with a toilet instead of a shower. The product number counts!!

Received a set of taps but turned out they were faulty following speaking to a plumber and the manufacturer. Returned them (at my own expense) within 7 days but after 2 weeks of chasing eventually advised that they wouldn’t refund as the taps were scratched. I advised (the shocking) customer services that as per my rights, I can return the taps within 30 days for a full refund as they were faulty and not fit for purpose to which they claim it’s the responsibility of the manufacturer to replace the faulty item. The only offer was to collect the faulty taps at my own expense so they currently sit at their warehouse whilst I have to sort this out. Currently trying to claim back via the credit card but if not then it’s the small claims court. Should have checked on Trustpilot and seen they have a 2/5 star review and I’m one of many regretful customers. Avoid at all cost! They’re cheap for a reason - after sales service is rubbish and they have no idea of their legal obligations under the consumer rights act.

Good Evening Mr Oram, Thank you for your review, we aim to deal with everything as swiftly as we can, i would like to clarify that we have no issue in refunding faulty products it just has to go through a process. When we processed your returned there was no information detailing it was faulty just a return, and as it had been fitted we are in our right not to refund! it had been scratched and was not resalable. I'm sure you would appreciate, if we processed a refund on every return because someone says it's faulty we would lose money as a business. We suggested that you provide us with a Grohe fault reference to speed things up to which we haven't had a response. I can see from your last email to the customer services team, that Grohe UK have kindly sent you a free of charge replacement. I'm sorry that we haven't been able to rectify the refund or supply you with a new product in a timely manner but as a business there are processes that we have to follow. Tim Ford Managing Director.

Order No #4023161 dated 3.10.18 You took payment of £150.67 for a tap which is out of stock and have not replied to 2 e mails from me asking why you took payment knowing you had no tap. Tap is due back in stock on 22.10.18 according to the vague reply you gave me on 10.10.18, which was marked "Complete" !!!. Please either arrange for urgent delivery of tap or refund my payment. Thank you. Mr Glyn Halliman

Needed to order 2 sinks and found that Trade taps had 2 in stock, rang their customer service to check that the goods were physically there and when they could deliver. Having been advised by Trade taps that they had the units in stock and that we could expect delivery on the Thursday (our order placed Tuesday) I was somewhat disappointed to be advised at 16.39 on the day of delivery that they had no stock and that the delivery would now be made some 8 days beyond the originally advised date, the website at this time still shows the goods as being available. If you want to deal with a company that blatantly lie and provide false promises, do so at your own peril, me personally would recommend you look elsewhere

Appalling customer service. I reported that the good I purchased were faulty and the repose as exactly as detailed below, I am reporting this company to trading standards and requesting a claim back from my Bank as I paid by Visa Debit. Choose another company to buy from Ray Davis (Dramco Limited) Sep 4, 17:08 BST Good afternoon Unfortunately we need to be notified of any damages within 48 hours of delivery so on this occasion we can not do anything Many thanks

Took 3 months to deliver the goods. Full of excuses. And always going to phone you back..... but never did. Final insult was that the taps arrived with them on Friday and they were asked to send them out quickly. Oh yes. We'll do that. They arrived with me on Wed. Delays, half truths, empty promises, and a total lack of customer focus. Beware!

1. You say the item is sent when it isn't 2. You refuse to process correctly at zero rate vat 3. You do not confirm refund when order is cancelled

You took the order and the payment, then you said it will take four weeks for delivery but even that is an estimate so we have no idea when you might deliver!!!

You’ve sent me an email asking me to review the service but haven’t replied to my email letting you know that you’ve sent me the wrong item!

Order a shower tray and waste...order on system just says "processing" so I call and they said I would have to wait 4 to 6 weeks!!!!! Absolutely useless. If your items are out of stock, this should be made clear on your website. It is mis-representation. Please refund immediately. I checked spa, no email or any communication from you. Very Poor service!

The product I ordered I was informed was in stock & dispatched but did not arrive. Delays occurred with poor communication & this resulted in me waiting in for delivery on 3 dates. When a delivery van did turn up the product was on the drivers list but was not in the van! This has held up the work being done at my house & caused huge inconvenience.

Everything. Your competitors chose to let people know they were waiting for stock. You are happy to sell stock you don't hold. You charged me twice. I still don't have a shower tray. Poor company I won't use again

The order apparently shipped on 2nd January but I still do not have it. I tried to phone customer services and the phone just rings. I have plumbers waiting on site for these taps which is a great inconvenience. I placed various orders with merchants over Christmas. All other fittings arrived early this week.
