What
an
absolute
shambles
of
a
company.
If
you
value
your
money,
don’t
shop
here.
Read
the
reviews
before
making
the
decision
to
even
visit
this
place.
That
was
my
mistake,
I
didn’t
read
the
reviews.
As
from
the
reviews
below,
there
will
be
a
response
from
them
trying
to
justify
this
review…
I’m
excited
to
read
that
and
have
a
giggle
later.
They
don’t
seem
to
take
fault
for
anything.
I
visited
the
shop
a
few
months
back,
all
seemed
great
and
I
found
the
fireplace
I’d
been
looking
for.
The
owner,
Richard,
gave
me
a
price
£3700
there
abouts
for
the
fireplace
and
stove.
I
thought
this
was
high
but
it
was
exactly
what
I’d
been
looking
for.
Bare
in
mind,
this
was
on
sale
(he
also
said
he’s
doing
a
big
deal
for
me
-
pretty
sure
this
is
said
to
all
his
customers
so
not
actually
a
deal).
After
paying
half
(deposit)
and
returning
home
I
was
then
bombarded
with
calls
from
Marita
(who’s
a
whole
other
story
completely)
asking
for
the
remaining
payment.
We
were
not
happy
about
as
from
experience
paying
for
anything
that
needs
to
be
installed/built,
you
pay
when
the
jobs
finished!
However,
we
reluctantly
paid.
We
were
then
told
that
there’s
an
additional
removal
fee
of
£300
and
then
another
installation
fee
of
£300!!!
Making
our
total
cost
over
£4K.
The
installation
fee
and
removal
are
absolutely
over
priced!
Anyway…
here’s
the
juice…
we
paid
£800
for
a
log
burner,
which
was
included
in
the
final
price.
The
company
told
us
we
could
have
a
log
burner
after
showing
them
a
picture
of
our
chimney,
only
to
turn
out
that
we
actually
can’t
have
one
once
we’d
paid
the
full
amount.
We
requested
a
refund
and
was
told
by
Marita
(rudely
-
and
she
hung
up)
that
Richard
doesn’t
do
refunds
and
he
will
not
process
one.
Therefore
paying
£800
for
a
product
we
have
not
received
but
was
told
by
this
business
we
could
have.
Hilarious!
We
wouldn’t
take
no
for
an
answer
so
rang
Richard
who
immediately
answered
the
phone
saying
he’s
processing
one
for
us
and
to
send
details.
After
sending
details
of
the
bank
account
(same
one
we
used
to
pay
the
final
amount),
Marita
again
rudely
told
us
we
will
receive
a
cheque
in
14
days.
A
cheque!!
We
refused
this,
as
customers
have
the
right
to
request
to
have
the
money
transferred
back
by
the
same
means
they
paid
and
can
refuse
anything
other
(The
Consumer
Contracts
(Information,
Cancellation
and
Additional
Charges)
Regulations
2013
section
34:7)
We
wanted
a
bank
transfer.
Marita
then
said
absolutely
not
and
that
they
don’t
do
bank
transfers
and
was
adamant
with
us
that
it’s
a
check
or
nothing.
Again,
we
got
onto
Richard
who
told
us
he
will
bank
transfer
and
to
wait
14
days.
We
waited
and
finally
received
the
money
(sent
reluctantly)
by
Richard
on
the
day
of
the
final
installation,
only
because
we
emailed
and
told
him
we
need
that
money
to
pay
the
fitters.
However
the
fitters
we’re
getting
a
lot
of
calls
from
Marita
that
day
after
we
sent
the
email
requesting
the
refund
money.
The
refund
took
18
days.
They
didn’t
want
to
send
it.
They’re
happy
to
take
your
money
but
don’t
refund.
It’s
disgusting
and
a
business
should
not
be
allowed
to
operate
like
this.
We
paid
£800
and
only
received
£640
because
of
apparent
minus
20%
restock
fee.
(Section
34:8
The
trader
must
not
impose
any
fee
on
the
consumer
in
respect
of
the
reimbursement)
After
all
of
this,
the
fireplace
was
installed
with
2
large
chips
at
the
front
which
were
not
there
when
purchased
in
the
shop
(photo
evidence
to
prove
this)
After
all
this
hassle,
we
can’t
be
bothered
with
the
rudeness
from
the
business
in
trying
to
get
some
sort
of
replacement
or
compensation
from
them
as
they
will
just
ignore
and
not
take
the
blame.
Marita
has
absolutely
no
people
skills
what
so
ever,
she’s
an
extremely
rude
woman
and
she
handles
all
forms
of
communication
after
the
deposit
is
paid.
If
she
wasn’t
with
this
business,
it
might
have
ran
a
lot
smoother.
There’s
a
lot
of
bad
reviews
about
the
fitters
but
from
our
experience
they
are
really
lovely
and
did
a
great
job
fitting.
We
will
most
definitely
not
return
and
only
have
bad
things
to
say.
