I ordered an Iroko 27mm worktop. Ordering and delivery were no problem. The worktop appeared to be in good order and was fitted. However, as oil being applied I discovered a line of filler had been used right through the middle of the worktop. I brought this to the attention of the support team and was advised as it had been fitted, it couldn't be replaced. However, I do not agree that the quality of this worktop meets reasonable expectations. At no time was I advised prior to purchase that this might occur in manufacturing and the website T&C's does not state that this might occur. However, although offering apology, they are not willing to offer a reasonable refund for a very disappointing worktop that I now have to live with. I note that another recent review has had a similar experience which is very sad. I will not be recommending Worktop Express

Tried to order some worktops from Worktop Express Warrington showroom and for delivery they won't bring the worktops to the first floor of my building (using lift or stairs) so I can carry them inside due insurance purposes. So they'd need to leave them on the ground floor where the lobby is and the worktops won't be safe to leave in the lobby till my partner gets in from work in the evening. They can't do anything other than a whole day delivery window and I don't have anyone available to help me bring the worktops upstairs during the day apart from a single day where we would need to pick them up from the showroom in a hired van in the morning. Due Covid they aren't letting anyone collect from the showroom but they'll let you inside the showroom to browse their range while staff aren't even wearing masks to protect customers. Ridiculous. The worktops are 3 metres long so 2 people can easily carry them outside and put them on the ground where we can then pick them up and load them into the hire van and do social distancing at all times. But this isn't acceptable. Wouldn't bother with this company who are inflexible and staff don't want to find a solution to help. Take your money elsewhere.

Avoid this company like the plague, really quick to take your money, work tops came on seprate days, first worktop damaged but used as it would be covered by upstand, second worktop had a void on front face and you could feel the air pocket of worktop, company not interested, would not replace and only got 20% refunded on worktop, and on top of £40 delivery charge for worktops, I should have known better and used a local firm, its typical of a company thats got too big, customer service gone out of the window.

Brackets are sold singularly, the very definition of a bracket is plural! When I contacted customer services about sending another, which I was happy to pay for, I was told it would cost me a further £4.95 shipping! For a bracket! When I asked about their refund policy I was met with silence. Terrible, would never use again.

The most appalling service we have ever had. We do not recommend this company. Our order arrived very badly packed and as a consequence the panels were damaged. The collection was arranged for Thursday. I was waiting entire day at home, however no one came to collect. We have called Worktop Express, sent emails, left voicemails, however were completely ignored. No refund will be arranged until goods are collected, no compensation on huge inconveniences caused because they company just don't do that. I would strongly recommend to improve on their customer service as they will start losing people who are making them money.

Company failed to deliver product paid for on multiple occasions despite agreed dates and paying a premium price for service. When called they promised a time and date but they failed again. Called customer services multiple times who failed to answer the calls during weekdays and weekend. Messages left with the company are not returned. Refusals from the company to call the customer to provide delivery times. Lots of huffing and sighing from “Hattie” on the phone. Overall a thoroughly unpleasant service. Think carefully about the other options available.

Given the choice to pick up some up stands I ordered, I decided as they confirmed a one day delivery at a cost of £15 it was easier to go for that. I had the builder at home waiting for them but by 1pm they hadn't arrived. I chased them, to be told they would arrive about 2pm. Still no delivery at 3.30pm I chased again to be told, the driver couldn't find me so didn't deliver them. Not sure why he didn't call for directions. I was told they would arrive the following day.....they didn't. I then had to go away so arranged for them to be delivered the following day directly to the builders home. They didn't arrive there either. Now I would normally vote with my feet, unfortunately these are the only up stands I can find that match my out of production worktops. A new date was arranged for today. They still have not been delivered but a "compost bin" has been delivered instead!! I am now told that a new order will be raised but they are out of stock and I have to wait another 9 days for them. I have had to pay a builder 2 half days waiting around and now he has to re-arrange his workload again, all due to WorkTops Express failing big style on a simple delivery.

Worst Customer Care Service ever !!! Do not except them to sort a situation out with logic. And If you live in town, they « don’t do stairs » with their delivery options, not even if you booked the most expensive way for you to be delivered. Better using any other competitors than them !

Worktops weren't delivered as driver didn't contact us by telephone as arranged. Phoning the company constantly only to be fobbed off. Hassle with refund as they are dishonest and try to hold on to the refund! Very bad experience, I would not recommenced to anyone I would warn people to avoid or they will wait for a delivery that will not show up and possibly loose all money paid to this shoddy dishonest company.

Worktops weren't delivered as driver didn't contact us by telephone as arranged. i have communicated several times with the company, and been advised that the refund had been processed, however I still haven't received refund 15 days later, and the customer services rep i have spoken with most recently advised the refund was processed yesterday ( the same person who advised me that it had been processed on 17th December). I would avoid this company at all costs, they do not appear to invest in ensuring that their customers have a satisfactory experience.

Worked for the company for 4 months, was told to leave after having a few days off after being told I had pneumonia... I have seen how they treat customers and its shocking. One customer I had been to in total 5 times to deliver a worktop which the company kept sending back to him hoping he would except the worktop so they didn't have to replace it and tried to charge him for delivery everytime. The amount of times a customer has refused a worktop and we have been told by higher management to leave it in the depo and re deliver in a few days, the customer wont notice. The Van's are old and dangerous, and we have no real support from the company to keep the worktops in tact, so when the worktops get damaged in transit they try and charge us for the damage. Dont waste your time with this company. For your ordering a normal uncut worktop they are not to bad but if you want anything cut to your specific needs your going to have problems. Complete joke of a customer service which even for drivers are a nightmare to get hold of.

Damaged in transit, don't expect a resolution! £180 breakfast bar worktop damaged in transit. I contacted Worktop Express at the earliest opportunity and have been offered £27 compensation. The partial thickness gouge halfway along the worktop surface renders the item useless, however as a pragmatic solution to reduce costs of resupply, delivery and a further half day employing a kitchen fitter, I proposed fitting (temporarily or otherwise) the damaged worktop. Worktops Express have dismissed my consumer rights and maintain their offer of £27, which equates to a 6% refund on a £450 order. Very disappointed!

Awful customer service - abrupt and unconcerned. Didn’t reply to a follow up letter. Once they have your money they don’t care - just hope that you don’t need aftercare
