Window Cleaning Warehouse - is it just me?
« on: November 10, 2022, 03:27:29 pm »
Decided to give a Phantom pole a try after 12 years with Gardiners. I'd try it; if I liked it it would become an option for the franchisees.

Ordered from Window Cleaning Warehouse.
Arrived.
Couldn't open the bottom section, it was jammed.
Emailed asking them to ship a replacement.
A day later they agreed to do so.
Received notification they would collect.
Checked they'd be dropping off the replacement at the same time.
Was told "no".
I asked why.
The reason? I might not send the pole back.
I suggested that in that case they should take the pole back, cancel the whole deal and refund.
They agreed.
They collected the pole last week.

Today I've come back to a pole delivered in a comically damaged shipping tube.

Should I be surprised to experience this level of service or is it typical of them?

I’ve never had a problem with them, always had my order delivered well packaged in a timely manner. I use them a couple of times a year.

Yeah I’ve always found them to be quick and provide a good service,the only problem I had was they sent me out the wrong size elbow for my hose reel but once I called them they got me one for the next day.

The thing is Gardiner customer service is great and your comparing WCW to them.

I'm struggling to see where I've made a comparison.

Perhaps it is implied by your using Gardiners poles for 12 years?
It's a game of three halves!

I won’t use wcw  anymore , I only dealt with them now and again but every time there was a problem , wrong stuff sent , bits missing, they then disputed it and wanted to charge me again for theses bits so told them they could collect the remaining stuff and have it back they refused , so I contacted my credit card company and got a full refund on my card . Will never deal with them again .

Gardiner’s are in a totally different league, great pity   they only sell there own products now as I got the vast major of the stuff we needed from them  , on the rare occasion that something was wrong it was sorted straight away . Excellent customer service .

Exactly! But you have to remember that big, superior Vin doesn't suffer fools!
