Terrible service, customer service and no compliance with delivery promise!

Options
I ordered a kettle on the 7th of October and it arrived 13 days later. In their T & C it says can take up to 10 days, it took 13 AND arrived broken.

I took pictures of the broken kettle and sent an email detailing and showing 'All boxed-up' my broken kettle on Monday the 20th of October. I was to replied to with an apology and a promise that a new kettle would be sent out on the Wednesday and that I would get a new tracking number with it.

It is now Monday the 3rd of November and I have still not received a replacement kettle or item tracking number despite numerous enquiring emails about my purchase.

Only recently have I received an email asking me to be patient and that a replacement kettle has been sent in good faith.
I'm still without a kettle after my previous broken was thrown away and have no idea as to when I will legally receive my purchase

This is unacceptable!

  • Are you sure you have the right company? All boxed up sell beauty products.

    If I want a new kettle, I want it now, I don't want to potentially wait for 10 days.


    If the kettle didn't work, what was the point of taking a picture of it, that would prove nothing, unless of course the handle was broken off.


    That's 5 minutes of my life I will never get back.
    make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
    and we will never, ever return.
  • Put water in saucepan and heat on hob till boiling

    Take chill pill and wait for post

    Alternatively get a refund and buy one from tesco or a similar shop where you can take it home with you the same day

    There's allboxedup.co and allboxed-up.com... it would appear the op is referring to the latter.

    The OP could be on a sticky wicket, given that they've now thrown the broken kettle away so can't return it.

    Just looked at the site & I'm not familier with the company. I searched for kettle, they only sell the one for £49.99 http://www.allboxed-up.com/home-kitchen/cordless-glass-kettle-illuminated/

    Exactly the same kettle is for sale on Amazon for £29.99 with free delivery. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Messini-Cordless-Glass-Kettle-Illuminated/dp/B0093LM9BU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1415053314&sr=8-3&keywords=Cordless+Glass+Kettle
  • Or they could be referring to taking a picture of it 'All boxed up' to send back to the retailer.

    They've thrown their old broken kettle away, not the new broken one.
