Timpson Avaliações 

I posted this as customer service did not respond to my complaint.
I attended at Timpson which is located outside of Tesco superstore in Bicester on 7th July, to adjust my Hamilton watch strap, which I bought on 6th July. A guy in the shop said it would take some time, asked me to come back on Friday. I was promised that they would give me a call on Friday, which they didn’t, so I had to call them in the afternoon. To my surprise and frustration, I was informed that they could not find my watch. Without taking any responsibility, with minimal apology, I was referred to their customer service, for compensation (it is worth £790). I raised a ticket on 10th July, but up to current date, I have not received any response from customer service team. How would you feel if your watch repair shop lost your watch, and at the same time, no satisfactory apology or any timely solution from their side? I am still waiting for their customer service response with frustration. I would like to minus 5 star if I have that option….

Update on 25th July,
I was called from same guy that he found my watch back, and let me show you photos (I uploaded on google map)
Wow! My watch was handled in very bad way. When I showed him that pin was piercing through my skin, that same guy blamed me as I was not directing to the point, on my return back to him, surprisingly he told me that he did not know this watch!!!! Come on guy, you were a same person who lost my watch. He added a sentence “customer service will never compensate me for this”….I was served in very rude way…..

I had a lifetime battery replacement but when I took it to tbe sainsbury timpsons in Ripley Derbyshire she explained that wasnt the problem then proceeded to put in a new gasket. My husband has alzhiemers and they have been nothing but brilliant cant give them enuf stars

I used your Mansfield branch located within ASDA. All seemed well when the woman who served me cut three keys and I was further informed of when to pop back for for the one remaining key to be cut (not in stock).

Unfortunately, mine became a 'Jekyll and Hyde' experience for after returning with one of our three original keys which had not been cut correctly I was met with a hostile, stony-faced reaction from this woman. No apology was given; instead I was made to feel like I was in the wrong for asking for a recut.

I then asked about the other key that could not be cut previously... and was told very curtly it would cost £12.

I thought I had heard her say it would be £11 on my first visit so questioned this only to be be told 'they are £12 and always have been... but it is three keys for £24'.

At that I produced my previous receipt - where I had paid £29 for three requesting a potential £5 refund - and was made to feel rather stupid for asking another perfectly acceptable question; it was, in fact, a 3 for £24 offer only on that type of key once it was explained fully.

To be honest, from the moment I approached on the second occasion I was made to feel like a nuisance begging the question...

Why is it that sometimes, especially in this country these days, you feel like the person serving you is a stroppy customer whilst you - keeping calm and not showing your frustration despite their poor customer service and care - are the one trying to be polite and 'sell yourself' just to get an amicable answer?

And this from a woman who is keen to display her customer award posters in front of her customers!

Tunstall store.
Fab guy. Tom was great. Really helpful. Went the extra mile to help get what we wanted.

However the shop was way too hot. Absolutley boiling! Noone should be expected to work in that conditons.

Shout out for Stefan for excellent customer service at Wokingham branch of Timpson in town centre. He spent a lot of time sorting out a replacement car key for my VW and even let me take it away to try it out before I paid.
Absolute gent. Polite, courteous,trustworthy and very people friendly

I visited our local Timpsons in Sutton Coldfield to have a Compass engraved for my sons Navy Passing out Parade. The Gentleman there help and advised as to what was the best layout for the words we wanted. He advised to collect the next day.We went to collect it and the Gentleman had done a absolutely brilliant job he had actually gone over the engraving many times to produce an outstanding effect much more than we would have got normally.We we t to pay and he put his had out and said no that young boy is joining the Navy I really respect that and would not accept payment. My Son was overwhelmed with the compass. I just wanted to say how engaging he was and how polite respectful and a complete Gentleman thank you very much. I highly recommend This store. I did not take a picture of the compass i will when my son comes home of leave

The staff at Timpsons Kidderminster seem to charge whatever they want. I had two keys copied 3 days apart and was charged wildly different prices. Would not use again.

Bought a new car key a year ago which had sprung apart, went back (but I had no receipt) for help.

I wasn’t able to pay another £50 and couldn’t find my proof of purchase. The wonderful lady, Dawn I think, was fabulous, taking my key apart and reassembling it so I could use it.

She couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. It was a wonderful experience and truly reflected the company I have always believed Timmons to be.

The ‘branch’ was outside the Asda store on the Brombrough Retail Park Wirral.

I can’t recommend the Timpson Welling branch highly enough. Our only key had snapped, and we were worried we’d be facing a much bigger problem. The team went above and beyond by carefully soldering the broken key back together so they could cut a new one for us.

The level of customer service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely cared about helping us. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and they took the time to make sure everything was sorted properly.

It’s rare to come across such excellent service these days, and their kindness and professionalism made a stressful situation so much easier. I would highly recommend the Timpson Welling branch to anyone. Thank you again for going the extra mile.

Took my Seiko watch into your Goole branch for service and repair.
Could i give a shout out for Elliot the person doing the repair in the shop at the time, nothing was too much trouble for him.
He’s a credit to your company.
Many thanks Phillip Noon.

Poor! Every year I have to get a watch battery replaced here! Since when did watch batteries only last 12 months. When I was young they lasted at least 5 years!

Timpsons Woking

I went into Timpsons in Woking yesterday to see if I could get a shoe repaired.
One of my pool slides had come away on the side. I was hoping it could be glued back into place.
Sam, not only repaired my shoe he didn’t ask for payment. He said if I was inclined I could put a donation into the Timpson Foundation tin on the counter

Went in to Timpson White Rose Leeds with my Omega Seamaster Quartz to enquire about a battery change - 70 pounds for a 1 year warranty, 100 pounds for lifetime warranty. Are you having a laugh? I have a watch case opener so I ordered a Renata Long Life battery for £2.92 and it took me precisely 4 minutes to change the battery. Absolute rip off prices from Timpsons.

Used key cutting machine in B and Q Netherfield Victoria Retail Park
Location 60096
Machine took payment and was heard cutting and dropping metal but no keys delivered into collection box
B and Q staff helpfully checked box to make sure then said ring helpline which I did at 13.39
Robot just kept going thru menu options asking lots of questions then saying 'Goodbye' and hanging up on me.
Promised email receipt never arrived
£14 and half an hour of my life.

Timpsons outside the Roehampton ASDA . I was desperate to get my sandals repaired they are v old. Kane was so helpful and patient he carried out the repair there and then. He even showed me how to access an app through which I could obtain an identical pair !! What a kind and affable young man. Excellent customer service.

Really want to support Timpsons as they have a really good ethos. However, spent £80 with them yesterday, on three sets of keys and two standard watch batteries. That was with the third set 'free' and 10% discount, because we had to wait for the operative to come back from a break. This seems really expensive. I don't think I have ever paid more than £10 for a watch battery, and the keys were standard Yale and Chubb keys.

Brand new shoes that DM wouldn’t repair, on off chance took them to Timpsons Whitehaven…..repaired in minutes, very pleasant and friendly service, also got some keys and electronic fobs, which were done quickly and efficiently and placed on the keychains I had purchased! Fantastic customer service and not expensive, will definitely return

Used the machine. 3 keys cut and not 1 even fits in my lock.

Phone lines not open took it to a store who refused to help. Doesn't want it coming out of his stock

My reply to timpsons,
I emailed last week, no response and I shouldnt need to email again.

I recently had a very nice pair of curtains cleaned @Timpson in Eastbourne .When I got my curtain back the lining was covered in dog hair ! Honestly it looked like someone had dragged it on the floor of a kennel. The local shop was happy to take them back for re-clean. They were not able to deal with the complaint locally and asked the customer service personnel Joanna to contact us . We collected our curtain back and it was still covered with dog hair although admittedly not as heavily as the first time round .
When we contacted the local Timpson for comments and refund , we were directed to speak with Joanna in Customer Services based in Manchester , bearing in mind we waited the whole of June for a call back , again Joanna wasn’t available for another week !
Finally spoke with Joanna yesterday and followed up with emails and photos of how I cleaned the curtains with a lint roller ,the dry cleaning ticket showing the cost , and evidence of at least 9 parts of my curtain where the lining had come away and the bottom of the curtain got all bunched up and wasn’t laying flat .? Then to be asked for more receipts of all the costs . The story goes on …. But finally have been assured I’ll get a refund for the £80 I paid for the cleaning . And was offered vouchers as compensation for future use at Timpson !! Will I ever take anything delicate or expensive there?? My curtain would have been cleaner if I had just brushed off the dust and steam cleaned it myself .

The guys who work at Timpsons next to Tesco on Cardiff Road, Newport, are a credit to the Company.
Very friendly and helpful.
