*Update 2* - Its now 23rd June, almost a month since I was promised replacement fixings by Daniel, and now he's stopped replying to my messages after I asked to speak to a manager. With no replies from QD, I found the contact number for their supplier who first said the fixings were dispatched twice. But then I called again today to be told the fixings never existed! Nothing was ever sent and QD stores have been made aware of this. I am furious! The decking is been collected by the supplier, Shire, next week and now I have to fight QD Stores for a full refund when I'm receiving no replies to my many emails and phonecalls. I'm giving it until Monday, if still no reply or refund, I'll be contacting Trading Standards for not only my refund but compensation for time wasted and emotional stress!
*Update 1* - I received a reply from Daniel at QD Stores on 26th May via email to say he had contacted the supplier and they would send out the replacement fixings, I will receive them in 3 to 5 working days. It is now 11th June and still no fixings! Absolutely shocking, I've now lost the deposit I payed to have someone install this decking and I'm very close to reporting this company to Trading Standards. £470 for some planks of wood to clutter our garden for weeks making it unsafe for my toddler to play in his garden.
*Original Review/Complaint* - I ordered a Shire Decking Kit 3.6m x 3.6m from this store that was described as having all fixings and screws included (I've emailed a screenshot), however it has arrived today and there are no fixings included. Had this not been falsely advertised, I could have bought the same kit cheaper elsewhere with a sooner delivery date. I now have people coming to build this for me on Saturday with the understanding that the fixings required are all included, but they are not. I have tried calling the customer service team but conveniently, the lines are down for maintenance. I've sent an email but judging by other reviews I'm not hopeful I'll get a reply. I'd like them to either send me the screws that are advertised or give me a partial refund to buy them myself and also advise me what size is needed as the instructions do not say.
I will update this review if I get a reply and the matter is resolved.
