The good:
- The ordering process is rather straight forward and super fast (I ordered on an evening, the next day I received a message that my order has been sent)
- The prices are really competitive.
The bad:
- the homepage lets you order with two different addresses (delivery / invoice) and allows you to order as a company. The problem is that it cuts addresses without notifying you that what you entered is too long, for instance by limiting the number of characters you can enter into a field. As a result, the address communicated to the delivery company (quickpac.ch in my case) was truncated. Therefore the first delivery failed and it was for me to manage...
The ugly:
- Quickpac.ch is a catastrophic delivery service, which leaves you quite alone or refers to Interdiscount as their "employer".
- After finally having had to pick up the parcel at Coop (because Quickpac failed 3 times to deliver it - see my review on this), the billing company paycard.ch contacted me and asked (referring to legal paragraphs) why I disclosed a wrong billing address, as the invoice came back to them. It was a company order and I indicated the full name and address of my company in addition to my own name - BUT obviously, only my name and the company address were forwarded to them (again - nothing on the Interdiscount ordering site indicated anything wrong at the time I placed my order).
After a rather weird and unpleasant exchange with paycard.ch (me asking why they suspect me of indicating a wrong address and why they don't just send the invoice via email instead of regular mail and them answering that they never pretended they cannot send invoices by email, and that, by the way, they are so kind that they will not charge me for their search service because I indicated a wrong address (seriously????)), I received the invoice as PDF and had it processed and paid right away.
- Interdiscount, with whom I was in contact because of the delivery issues and in the end the paying issue, registered my complaint but then NEVER followed up. Hence, I guess they don't care for customers that much and also don't mind loosing potential corporate ones.
Obviously, for many larger local suppliers, the customer is NOT king. No wonder Amazon is gaining power then...
