Tried to Return a £750 JBL soundbar, They arranged DPD to collect and DPD subsequently lost part of the package, now Home Av direct customer services are saying unless DPD find missing part of package Im only getting a partial refund!!!! Absolute disgrace as I have provided them with photographic evidence of the parcel intact in the back of the DPD van!!! And have proof of postage! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, now going to have to take them to small claims court to get my money back!!! Customer service number just rings and they dont answer!
The returns department took the item and sent it to their designated repairs supplier for that speaker manufacturer. That is where the real problems began. The repairs provider were highly unsatisfactory. They initially informed the returns department, when chased by them, that they were awaiting a part. In fact, they had not begun testing the item at that stage. Several weeks later, the item was sent back to the returns department with the note that they could not reproduce the issue that both I and the returns department had observed. The item was sent back to them once again. At that stage (around two months after I returned the item) they identified the issue, and advised that it would take at least a couple of weeks to effect a repair.
Throughout this process, Samit in the returns department spend a great deal of time attempting to deal with the unsatisfactory service provided by the repairer. Ultimately, through that persistence, Samit was able to overcome additional resistance from the repairer, source a replacement for the item, and deliver it (and in doing so, successfully addressing an initial miscommunication which would have precluded delivery of the replacement and necessitated picking it up in-person) within a couple of days.
In summary, the level of aftercare provided was exemplary, in the face of difficulties on the side of the company's suppliers and outside of their own control.
