I put 5 stars for the promptness of delivery, but the delivery itself has a lot to be desired, we were in the house waiting for the delivery, neither the doorbell or the door was knocked because 2 hours after it was expected we got a text to say it had been delivered 4 doors away, the driver couldn't be bothered to deliver to the right house. as it was we were unable to check the item for damage, Fortunately it was well packed and undamaged. service great - delivery rubbish.

0rdered a large quantity of chairs and was promised next day delivery where I was expected to wait between 8am and 6pm - delivery never happened and when I called Customer Services to try and get couriers no I was told I couldn't have it. later I was told they had tried to deliver at 9.15 - my CCTV disproved that as they had never been at all. Then I was told later that the courier company didn't accept incoming calls (really! how do they run their business?) I was then told that delivery would be the next day (Friday) again told I had to wait from 8-6 and no they didn't have any tracking information and again they couldn't give me the couriers number waited till 1pm and got really fed up by this time with unhelpful Customer Services so called again and insisted that she called the supplier to get me a delivery time - she came back 20 mins later to say it hadn't been shipped at all and that it would now be Monday and later sent me an email telling me it would be between 8 and 1pm and would I like to click the link on the email if I was satisfied with the customer service I'd been given - what a joke! Delivery came Monday and on asking the courier who was part of Palletways who pride themselves on their ability to track every pallet shipped (remember I was told they didn't do that) it was established that they had not received the shipment until Monday morning so it was never ever going to have been the next day for the previous Thursday so two complete days wasted waiting on a shipment that was never going to arrive I just felt I was lied to and fobbed off with completely unhelpful customer services and will not be using this company again

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I can see that upon receiving your item this was not the unit you were expecting. a full quotation along with a description was provided based on the initial query and this was accepted by you. We have since tried to resolve this with you but have not received a reply to our communication. We are sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your experience, we are always learning from our customer's experiences.

Hi there and sorry to hear you are unhappy with the service received. A re-delivery fee was applied to your order as the consignment was refused due to an error on your part when you inputted your address on your online order. We always try to keep costs to a minimum for our customers but unfortunately, we are not able to absorb redelivery costs as previously explained. Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback

I would have given 0 stars if there was the option. Appliance arrived not working and all I keep getting told to do is fill out a form and wait for someone to get back to me. This is seriously affecting my business now. I will never order from you again.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, We in no way try to hide charges in our small print, We advise of restocking fees in our terms and conditions which is agreed upon prior to the sale being processed, and also on the invoice and confirmation which is emailed to you shortly after the order has been raised. We like to be transparent with all our customers hence us repeating our terms in several places so it is made clear from the offset. I am sorry to hear you were unhappy with your experience on this occasion

Sent a new broken machine that cost us £2100. Took nearly 2 weeks to fix and a fair amount of running around on our part. If it were my store, I would have sent out a replacement rather than turning it into a warranty claim. From brand new? Not good service.

No information regarding delivery, the delivery man’s left two large double fridge out side my shop. Asked if they could help to get it inside the shop, both delivery man’s refused and drove off. How can a single person get a large fridge off the pallet and put inside the shop. It’s unbelievable and really bad service! Would recommend everyone to ask regarding your delivery of the item.

Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with the service received. Unfortunately, some of our suppliers only offer a kerbside drop as they are not insured to be inside of your premises. We do try as much as possible to use suppliers who offer a delivery service inside the premises but this isn't always possible. We highlight that the delivery is kerbside in several places on our website and also on your confirmation and invoice which are both emailed at the point of order to ensure you have prior notice of this. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are constantly learning from our customers experience

Sorry to hear you are not happy with your experience, Items are sent out on a next working day delivery, however, due to factors beyond our control delays in delivery can occur. I can see this was delivered to you the following day. Apologies again for the inconvenience caused

Avoid this supposedly "trusted" shop

Item arrived packaged in what could only be described as a bin bag with no packing protection. No surprises to find it damaged and had to be replaced. Was told on Monday that replacement had been dispatched and would arrive by the Wed, but chased Thursday as still no sign and told it would arrive Fri or following Monday. When no sign of item on the Mon, chased again to be told it was now discontinued and I could have a refund? Told them it was extremely poor service to state twice it was on the way only to then say it wasn't as it didn't exist!, They merely made a refund without even an apology. Avoid this "trusted" shop, they've wasted 2 weeks and don't seem to care about delivering good customer service

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are very sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience with Catering Appliance Superstore. Please accept our sincere apologies for the miscommunication with regard to this order, Unfortunately. we do not keep the Skillet in our own stock and our suppliers had passed us incorrect information, which in turn was passed to you. I would like to offer my reassurance that this is not the norm and we will be looking at our procedures going forward to ensure this does not happen again.
