Very poor handling of an outstanding order. AVOID
Very poor handling of an outstanding order
For clarity, my original order was placed with the previous company operating the meraki brand, rather than the current legal entity. However, my review here relates specifically to the customer service I have subsequently received from the company now operating meraki.
I contacted meraki in May regarding my outstanding January order and was told that it was still “in the production queue”, was “actively being tracked”, and that I would be contacted as soon as there was any movement.
I then heard nothing for three months.
When I chased again in August, my first response was an email intended for another customer, referring to a chargeback I had never made. After I pointed out the error, I was finally told that the previous company had gone into administration and that the new company could not access its records or process/refund my order.
I appreciate that the current company may have no legal responsibility for the debts of the previous business. My concern is the customer service provided by the current company. If my old order could not be accessed or fulfilled, I cannot understand why I was told in May that it was in production and being actively tracked, rather than being told about the change of ownership and advised then to pursue recovery of my payment.
Had I been given accurate information in May, I could have approached my bank three months earlier. Instead, I continued waiting because I had specifically been told my order was still being processed.
I had been considering purchasing approximately 18 handles for a future kitchen project from the current meraki business. Unfortunately, the way this has been handled has left me with ZERO confidence in doing so
