    • I left a trustpilot review and P2g have emailed me with the obligatory apology and have refunded the postage costs and are will to give £10 extra pre pay as a good will gesture. However,  as i wrote this the Buyer has just txt.me.to say they have received the parcel !  So obviously im now going.to suggest that she pays via Paypal ... I rang her this morning to see if it had arrived but she said she was on holiday and there was someone in her house she would have to contact to see if it had arrived which she obviously has ... So now i know its been delivered i cant go for P2g But i Can accept the exta £10 ...
    • The defendant in this case is Parcel2Go.com Limited The claimant sent a parcel using Parcel2Go Ltd as a broker and Evri as the shipper via the Defendant's service containing which contained two handmade bespoke wedding trays to a customer with  under  tracking number P2Gxxxxxxxx. The parcel was never delivered although the defendant stated that three attempts had been made to deliver the parcel.  The claimants customer waited in for four days to receive the delivery but no delivery was attempted. There was no communication with the claimants customer.  Despite many web chats and emails the parcel was not delivered and on the Parcel2Go website it stated that the customer had refused delivery. This was not true as no delivery had been attempted.  I was The Defendant informed me that the parcel was being returned to me but after waiting three weeks I was informed by the courier that the parcel was lost. I was offered compensation of £20 + shipping fee which I refused and after sending Parcel2Go a Letter of claim this was increased to £75 which I also refused. The Claimant did not purchase the Defendant's insurance policy as requiring people to pay extra for rights already guaranteed under the consumer rights act 2015 is contrary to section 57 and 72 and therefore unenforceable. The Claimant rejected the Defendant's standard compensation offer. It is clear that the defendant is responsible for the loss of the parcel as they did not act with reasonable care and skill when handling the claimants parcel, contrary to section 49 of the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   By failing to ensure the safe delivery of the Claimant's parcel the Defendant breached section 49 of the CRA 2015.   AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS £370.00 being the value of the lost goods £xx.xx being the price of shipping and interest pursuant to s69 cca 1984.   See what BF thinks but I think something like this is better. Remember you are suing P2G not evri.
    • I disagree with the charge and also the statements sent. Firstly I have not received any correspondence from DVLA especially a statutory notice dated 2/5/2024 or a notice 16/5/2024 voiding my licence if I had I would have responded within this timeframe. The only letter received was the single justice procedure notice dated the 29.5.2024 this was received on 4.6.2024. I also disagree with the statement that tax was dishonoured through invalid indemnity claim. I disagree that the licence be voided I purchased the vehicle in Jan 2024 from RDA car sales Pontefract with agreement to collect the car on the 28.1.2024. The garage taxed the vehicle on the 25.1.24 for eleven payments on direct debit  using my debit card on my behalf. £62.18 was the initial payment on 8.2.24  and £31 per month thereafter the second payment was 1.3.24.This would run from Jan 24 to Dec 24 and a total of £372.75, therefore the car was clearly taxed before  I took the car away After checking one of my vehicle apps  I could see the vehicle was showing as untaxed it later transpired that DVLA had cancelled my tax , without reason and I did not receive any correspondence from DVLA to state why it was cancelled or when. The original payment of £62.18 had gone through and verified by my bank Lloyds so this payment was not declined. I then set up the direct debit again straight away at my local post office branch on 15.2.2024 the first payment was £31 on 1.3.2024 and subsequent payments up to Feb 2025 with a total of £372.75 which was the same total as the original DD that was set up in Jan, Therefore I claimed the £62.18 back from my bank as an indemnity claim as this payment was from the original cancelled tax from DVLA and had been cancelled . I have checked my bank account at Lloyds and every payment since Jan 24  up to date has been taken with none rejected as follows: 8.2.24 - £62.15 1.3.24 - £31.09 2.4.24 - £31.06 1.5.24 - £31.06 3.6.23-£31.06 I have paper copies of the original DD set up conformation plus a breakdown of payments per month , and a paper copy of the second DD setup with breakdown of payments plus a receipt from the post office.I can also provide bank statements showing each payment to DVLA I also ask that my licence be reinstated due to the above  
    • You know hes had it when they call out those willing to say anything even claiming tories have reduced taxes on live tv AS Salmonella says: The Conservative Party must embrace Nigel Farage to “unite the right”, Suella Braverman has urged, following a disastrous few days for Rishi Sunak. The former home secretary told The Times there was “not much difference” between the new Reform UK leader’s policies and those of the Tories, as senior Conservatives start debating the future of the party. hers.   AND Goves replacement gets caught booking in an airbnb to claim he lives locally .. as of yesterday you can rent it yourself in late July - as he'll either be gone or claiming taxpayer funded expenses for a house Alongside pictures of himself entering a house, Mr McGuinness said Surrey Heath residents “rightly expect their MP to be a part of their community”. - So whens farage getting around to renting (and subletting) a clacton beach hut?   Gove’s replacement caught out on constituency house claim as home found on Airbnb WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK Social media users quickly pointed out house Ed McGuinness had posted photos in was available to rent     As Douglas Ross says he'll stand down in scotland - if he wins a Westminster seat - such devotion.
    • I've completed a draft copy to defend and will post up here for review.  Looking over the dates and payments this all stemmed from DVLA cancelling in Feb , whereby I set up a new DD in Feb hence the overlap, why they cancelled when I paid originally in Jan I have no idea. Anyway now stuck with pending court action and a suspended licence . I am also firing off a letter to DVLa recorded disputing the licence revoke

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I smell a troll. Joined recently to sing the praises of a retailer??/ Why would they be looking on the Internet if they were happy with their purchase?

 

Surfer01 did you read my post? I found this site the night before I was due to pay for my sofa and very nearly backed out. I paid using my credit card which I believe is a no brainer when paying large amounts of money to any company. I had a good experience with them and felt it unfair that the top Google result for Yes Sofa Specialist Droitwich is this one. I didn't have to write my experience on here as your right, I am a happy customer. But I feel local business is important if this country's economy is to pick up. I'm sure you'd welcome every customer of theirs write a review on here giving a much broader picture of the company than just people who have had problems?

 

As to who I am, who are you? As far as anyone on here is concerned you could be the Store manager for DFS Droitwich!

 

My advice to anyone who, like me came onto this site through Google would be use your credit card wherever you buy from!

I have been wanting to buy a new sofa for a while, saving up for one of high quality and one that has the 'wow factor'. I've been to both DFS and Next, but haven't found any that I'm that mad about. I also went to Yes Sofa Specialists, opposite DFS in Droitwich, and I actually found the perfect sofa - well it would be once I customised it to the right fabric and size! Having not heard anything of the company before, however, I was a bit dubious about jumping in and buying it straight away so I said I would think about it. I googled the name and one of the first sites was this one, and with all the bad reviews wow was I put off!

I've since revisited DFS and still didn't find anything I really liked. Call me foolish, but I've now been back into Yes Sofa Specialists and put a deposit down on my sofa. With nothing else out there of similar or better quality and design, I'm willing to take the risk for that dream sofa.*

 

With so many poor reviews on here, I thought it was only fair I describe what a pleasant experience I had, so that not everyone will be put off buying from these guys. I found the staff extremely well informed, who listened to what I wanted and made helpful suggestions as to what would suit me. They were very pleasant and at no time did I feel pressurised into buying - they even suggested I had another look in DFS for peace of mind! This is the opposite of how I felt in DFS - I was hounded as soon as I went in, reminded that I need 4 years free interest and warranties for this and that.*

Don't forget that this is a small company and every company has complaints - big stores have complaints in the thousands! If you're thinking of buying from Yes Sofa Specialists, give them a chance rather than being put off by complaints on this site - you may well be surprised by what you find!

 

And finally, a little disclaimer - if I have problems with delivery or the sofa itself (I paid by credit card so I should be covered if anything goes wrong) I will take back all I have said and update my review, but right now I'm really looking forward to my amazing sofa!

Everyone else? There are other (although very few) positive comments in here, not just mine. As I said in my post, I did my research about the company before buying and that's why I found this site.

Out of interest, what problems did you have with the company? I can't find any other comments on this thread from you other than accusing people of being trolls. And by the way, have no idea where the troll term came from but I can't say I like it!

Hi Jane..I'M WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!!!

 

There is absolutely nothing to worry about....:whoo:

 

I did the same back at the end of July....shopped around most of the funiture stores in the West Midlands and even some in Wales and couldn't find anything that matched the quality, value for money and service which The Sofa Specialist in Droitwich had to offer!!

In fact my top 3 suites were all from there!!

 

Just like you, I came on-line to find their website and stummbled across this one.

After reading all the posts it put me on edge a little so I went into the store and confronted the owner with my concerns, he was very up front and suggested that if I wanted to place an order (there was no pressure at all), and I felt unsure, then I could pay by credit card which would cover my purchase if anything went wrong, he couldn't have been fairer than that so I went ahead and ordered.

He advised me it would take approx 16 weeks to come in to stock as it was being made to order and had to come from China - that was fine by me.

 

It came exactly when it should have at the end of November so I had it to enjoy and show off over Christmas :-)......

It's what I ordered, the quality and style is fantastic......I got exactly what I wanted.......and with extras!!!:-)......

I would definately recommend them to anyone who appreciates the finer things in life!!!

 

Happy Happy Happy

 

(PS My last suite came from DFS 10 years ago - it was delivered with no feet and a load of writting in black pen on the one side of one of the sofas, after 2 months one of the arms collapsed.....just saying.....)

So glad to see some more positive comments about the company. Thanks for contributing Rosey - here's hoping less people will be put off now. In these tough economic times we should be supporting small companies!

check your house insurance, see if you have legal cover, if so give them a call. they were prepared to take yes sofa to court to get my chair that i waited over 6mths for, i also experience bullying off the manager, and believe me i heard every excuse under the sun as to why my chair was not made until 6mths after i paid for it. they even had the cheek to ask me for extra money 6mths after i paid for the chair, which was in breach of contract and so i reported them to worcester trading standards. the man there was very helpful and he says they have had plenty of complaints about them and they are being investigated under the enterprise act.

my advice..... stay away !!

We've recently put a deposit down for a sofa with Yes Sofa Camphill, Birmingham. We've been told it will take 8 weeks.

 

We didn't read all these threads on the internet until after we ordered so now understandably we are concerned. Fingers-crossed everything will be ok, but we've decided that we'll pay the remainder or the balance by credit card for a bit more security.

 

Will keep this thread updated on our progress.

i really thought that yes/els or what ever there name is now had smarted up there act as reading a few well reviewed posted on here, but they still look to be up to there old tricks! i like to support local businesses too but when they rip you off and treat not just me but other customers like they have it shames me to think that i spent my hard earned money in there shop, if you are planning to buy from them just do 2 things. 1) be sure to pay either the deposit or blance on your credit card so you have the usefull tool of the SECTION 75 which means your credit card will fight for you if it goes wrong and 2) pray like mad that your one of the lucky ones on here that has no problems with the sofa or the staff

After looking around various furniture retailers we ordered a leather suite from Sofa Specialist in January 2012 and were quoted 14 weeks delivery. After placing the order, we came across this thread (and others) after searching Google for Sofa Specialist and YesSofa (the url on their paperwork). The 14 weeks is up this weekend 21/04/2012, so a couple of weeks ago we popped in to the store to see Ashley (who had dealt with our order and I have to say was extremely helpful arranging some special mods to the sofa etc) and enquire as to the progress of our order. He said we should be getting a call in the next few days to arrange delivery. We heard nothing, so yesterday (19/04/12) I rang the Birmingham after sales number and spoke to Ellie, gave her the details and asked if she could give me an estimate of delivery. She promised to call me back but did'nt. Rang her again today and she said the order was not in stock yet but would contact the supplier and get back to me. I await the response... Obviously, given the, on balance, negative posts regarding the various incarnations of this store, we are a little, well, nervous. Equally I am a pragmatist and realise that things don't always go to plan, so at this stage they have the benefit of the doubt. The intention is to update this thread as we go so that other subscribers can form an objective view from someone who, at this stage, is neither friend or foe of the Sofa Specialist
