Just purchased my pergola & accessories…

Just purchased my pergola & accessories and looking forward to my delivery and installation date. The fabulous Wado has been with me every step of the way and had so much patience. Every decision has gone at my pace, I've never felt rushed or pushed to make a decision. Wado has shown me design idea and been at the end of the phone for every question I've had and every measurement I needed. I highly recommend paying a visit to the Manchester store and letting Wado help you make your garden dreams a reality 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Horrendous after sales service.

I had an absolutely horrendous experience with The White Stores.

I had previously seen a bad review related to customer service but thought it’s just a one off. Unfortunately for me it was not.
I bought a Pergola, accessories and garden furniture, service was good during this process as was booking delivery.
When I received the delivery I was told a further delivery would take place for one item (this came ok) - not a problem. There is no manifest stating exactly what you should receive.
A few days later going through the assembly instructions it was clear I was missing some parts. I went through all the boxes and identified that of 19, 2 were missing.
It took a month to get to a point where these missing parts were eventually acknowledged and sent.
What doesn’t help is the AI assistance that is employed in their customer service email - either it doesn’t read it and understand it or the customer service agents that use it don’t understand the context of what’s being explained.
Consequently you spend days and days going around and around in circles being told to check boxes send codes over again and being told it’s been delivered when you know it hasn’t. I had to explain that we could look at my cctv and count each individual box off the delivery to prove I am not lying.
I had people helping me construct this that I had to cancel because parts were not sent.
It felt I was being treated as stupid or a liar.

My advice is do not even bother using the customer service contacts - drop in or speak directly with the local store you purchased from - sadly I found that out too late.

The only reason I have this a 2 rating instead of 1 is that the products were good, easy to assemble and well made.

Mr Baker,

We are incredibly sorry to hear about the frustrating experience you had with your delivery and the subsequent customer service process. It is completely understandable why you felt let down, especially when trying to resolve the issue of the missing components.

We deeply regret that our communication felt repetitive and that you felt doubted during this process. This is certainly not the level of support we aim to provide, and we understand how disruptive it was to have to postpone your assembly plans. Your feedback regarding the automated assistance and the lack of a detailed delivery manifest has been taken on board, as we are constantly looking for ways to improve our service and make things clearer for our customers.

While we are glad to hear that you are pleased with the quality and build of your garden furniture and pergola once assembled, we sincerely apologize for the stress it took to get to that point. We appreciate you sharing your experience, as it helps us address these critical areas of our customer support.

Kind Regards,
White Stores Team
