Every customer complaint is an…

Every customer complaint is an opportunity to do business better.

We always buy our white goods from local business, in this case Cunniffe Electrical Galway. Our last big single spend was €3000+.
In July 2025 we bought a new washing machine from Cunniffes. From day one it did not function properly. After 3 call outs and a new pump being fitted it appeared to be OK. Our requests for a new machine were fobbed off, that Whirlpool made the decision after 3 call outs – playing on our ignorance of consumer legislation and a misplaced trust in a family business.
Promises of contact from the manager over that period never materialised.
In 06/2026 problems arose again and another call out. A valve was replaced and since then the machine seems to be operating properly.
My wife called to the shop to give feedback – we do not want anything; we wanted to inform who ever is in charge of what may be a better way of meeting customer needs. The manager was with a customer. Then the manager was at a meeting. Then the manager would call back. But the manager did not call back, one of staff did.
So, we have moved our custom from the east side to the west side to Peter Murphy Electrical, another family owned business. We needed a new chest freezer – because it was an emergency it was delivered within 3 hours.

Great experience

I ordered 4 bigger items at expert.ie online and I received them within a good timeline, all products arrived safe and without any damage. The prices for the products have been fair and the delivery fee was from my view even too low. The communication was outstanding, I was always aware about the delivery status of each product. A real good service!

Poor delivery service

Found a great washing machine, placed the order. however, unfortunately after circa a week I had to chase for an update. I was told they would look into it, I then had to chase again, to be told it was delivered the Friday prior (definitely wasn’t) so once again they had to look into it, I was then informed that they can’t confirm a delivery date - order cancelled and refund issued, but I’m still out the cost until they finally process said return! What a shame to not be able to process deliveries, it’s 2026 and you can’t provide a date so you lose sales. Thanks to Paulette for the help though!

Hello Dan,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry for the experience you've had with your order.

I appreciate how frustrating this situation has been, particularly given the delays and uncertainty around the delivery. Please be assured that I actively followed up on this matter multiple times in an effort to obtain updates and reach a resolution as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, I was unable to get the information needed within a timeframe that would have allowed us to provide the service you expected.

I completely understand your decision to cancel the order, and I apologise that we were unable to fulfil it successfully. Thank you also for your kind comments regarding my assistance—they are genuinely appreciated.

Your feedback has been escalated to management as we continue to review what happened and how we can improve the experience for our customers in the future.

Kind regards
Paulette

It's been one week since I purchased the item, but it still hasn't arrived. I haven't even received any updates from your side. You should be the one contacting the courier since you were the one who shipped the item. As a customer, I should also be provided with a tracking number so I can track the item I purchased.

Until now, I still haven't received the item I purchased. I've been waiting for 7 days already, and I have the right to know where my order is. You should provide me with a tracking number so I can track it myself. You were quick to take my payment, but your service is very slow. Honestly, I regret buying from you.

Hello,

We are sorry to hear that you remain dissatisfied with your experience.

We have responded to both of your reviews and requested your order number so that we can investigate the status of your order, but unfortunately we have not yet received a response with these details.

We take delivery issues very seriously and are always happy to contact the courier, provide tracking information where available, and resolve any problems as quickly as possible. However, without an order number or any identifying information, we are unable to locate your order and assist further.

Please contact us directly with your order number and we will investigate this as a priority.

My god

My god. I ordered a washing machine on the 4/ 05/26. I am still waiting. Tried ringing customer care. Got through 3 times and each time was told they would get back to me when they get talking to the corrier. They never got back to me. Now I try and call them and I never get to talk to anyone. I paid 600+. I have never had this problem with any other online store before..

Useless

Was told delivery would be three days, chased them every day for a week and was told the item was dispatched and I would receive a tracking number. Called again today to be told items haven't been dispatched because their system has been down all week! Why lie and say it was on its way?

Hello Richard,

We would like to sincerely apologise for the experience you had with your recent order and for the incorrect information you were given.

During a system outage, we were advised that orders were continuing to be dispatched as normal. Unfortunately, this information proved to be incorrect, and we understand how frustrating and disappointing this was for you. We should have verified the status of your order before providing an update, and we are very sorry for the confusion caused.

We truly regret the inconvenience caused and appreciate the time you took to speak with us.

Horrible worst company ever

Horrible experience
I ordered 2 items never got a tracking number meant to be delivered in 5-7 working days still not arrived , nobody pick up the phone nobody replies to any online messages!
The only time I got an answer on the phone I was told by a woman that she will get the tracking number email it to me and that never happened!!!!worst company ever ! Never ever order from them ! I emailed and ask for a refund …sure I am not gonna get any reply

Update : since then Paulette reached out to me and sorted the items for me to be delivered next week , I was told the system didn’t work so that’s the reason was no reply
Got a friendly nice conversation with Paulette and she looked after me , thank you for the help

Sage Coffee Machine

Bought a Sage coffee machine - great price (very!!!!competitive), there were a few different payment options available which was very convenient with the "bigger" purchase like this. The delivery was very fast, earlier than advised originally, so that was a nice surprise and the product is as expected - amazing.
Very satisfied customer here ;)
