I had a few problems with the delivery company, there was a box short and they just said that was all they had, the 4 boxes instead of the 5. I phoned up customer services, it was Michael and Jacob. I name them as I just wanted to say how good they were, very helpful and understanding. They sorted the problem out with the mixing box and the tent went up as it should. A few of the parts were damaged and some missing, but that was sorted out in no time. Very good experience and a great product.

Packaging could have been done better. Pipes boxes are good and will work to store. However, other materials were stuffed in three boxes for three marquees I ordered, heavily loaded. It cannot be use for storage after 1st use.

Lack of product knowledge

Boxes arrived ripped open. No instructions. Phone calls answered promptly, but can't deal with issues & you have to email . Asked same ? About 8 times , multiple people answered but non of them know the product reference you to instructions or videos which I have already seen, so still unresolved. Parts 11 & 12 remains unfitted. No idea what there for & neither do they . garage is good product , well made, unfortunately call handlers have absolutely no knowledge

Poor packaging and delivery

The metal components arrived in 3 very flimsy cardboard boxes which had disintegrated during the delivery process, we were concerned that some parts may be missing or damaged. When we checked them against the instruction booklet not all the poles had the label stickers. I think you should improve the strength/quality of the packaging and also reconsider the courier used - only one person delivered the marquee and he was extremely unfit.

Damaged goods

The product purchased was over £600. When your paying that type of money you expect it to be delivered in perfect condition

Happy with the purchase

Timely delivery, good quality. Area of improvement - Improve the quality of assembly instruction. Online manual and the book manual do not match. There should be separate video and instruction depending on the size ordered.

Still waiting for resolution. The item purchased was delivered damaged so was rejected as advised by the delivery driver. You can not trust their word, they said they will send out a new boxed item for the damaged one but House of tents just re-boxed all the bits they could find and re-shipped in a random box. Over 60% of the hardware is missing. House of Tents treat customers as idiots and also they are not based in the UK so they have not stock in hand. They have zero regard for their customers time and expect you to do all the work to fix their mistakes. When you complain you get told that no one is around to make decisions and that if you want your money back you have to take more time off work to help with the return of the rubbish they have shipped out and this is your problem and not thiers.

I ordered a 6x8 marquee it arrived in good timing of three working days.. I have a problem with the packaging which it came in.. The boxes are damaged and not sure if any of the items are missing untill I set it up.. The packaging is held together with sellotape.. The courier explained he had to retape the bixes because they were falling apart

Cannot get a refund

At their request I refused delivery of an incorrect item on Feb 22nd. Now on March 14th I am still awaiting a refund and they say they are following procedure. It does not take this long to arrange a refund so I can only assume the policy is not to honour their side. Be careful. I

Tent broke after a couple of weeks and they said we couldn't exchange it as there was no warranty

I have only just received the goods - and have not opened the packages yet. The advertising, purchasing and delivery process was fine. The instruction videos and booklets look excellent - but that is as far as I have got so far. Come back to me in six months time.

Great product, great price. Packaging was badly damaged upon delivery... hopefully none of the components have fallen out during shipping.
