Delivery service failed

I ordered a tent and a chair. They were sent via Evri and despite them going backwards and forwards to various depots, and the courier claiming I was on holiday, I gave up in the end and the order was cancelled. I realise this is Evri’s issue and Blacks were pretty good, but I’m left with no tent for a festival and a last minute rush.

Fine

It's hard to say really. It's a review for a online purchase. I am not sure what I am supposed to write... the website was very user friendly and they were efficient in taking my money and delivering my product.

Jack - Recognition Where It’s Deserved

I don’t normally leave reviews, but I think it’s important to recognise people when they genuinely deserve it, and Jack certainly does.

We came into the shop knowing exactly which walking boots my partner wanted, but we had no idea on sizing. As a result, she ended up trying on multiple sizes of the same boot, which could have easily been frustrating for the person serving us. Jack couldn’t have been more patient. He was friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and completely stress-free.

We ended up chatting about his walk across Dartmoor and where we were heading on holiday in North Wales. It never felt like he was just trying to make a sale – it felt like a genuine conversation, which made the whole experience that much better.

While we were there, another customer interrupted our conversation very abruptly and rather rudely demanded to try on some shoes. Jack handled the situation calmly and professionally, then carried on serving us with a smile on his face. Having worked in the service industry myself, I know how difficult some customers can be, so I really appreciated how well he dealt with it.

People are often quick to complain but not always quick to praise. Jack is exactly the kind of person who deserves recognition. He made what could have been a simple shopping trip into a genuinely enjoyable experience just by being kind, patient and treating people with respect.

Thanks again, Jack - keep being yourself.

Awful customer service & missing order!

My order has not arrived. I have attempted to contact Blacks who have not responded. A man who answered the customer service line even hung up the phone on me whilst I was explaining what had happened and before giving my details! This was my first time using Blacks and I am now without my £150 order.
