Quite possibly the worst online purchasing experience i have encountered ever; Having never been compelled to write a review before on any company, i'm afraid that Robotshop was so bad, i signed up to trustpilot in order to write a review. I ordered a product off their UK website in November 2016, and come August 2017, i have still not received the product! A periodic email after enquiry would continuously keep me "on the hook" with promises that the product was expected the following month, and as each month ticked by, the date would be pushed to the next month and so on....... The point is that after 9 months, you'd think a definitive answer would be appropriate, but unfortunately not. I have cancelled now, should have done it earlier, but i once upon a time had faith in what their customer service teams said.....
Response from RobotShopAug 21, 2017
Hello George, We do apologize and we are sorry that you feel this way, Robotshop is a reputable and honest online vendor with an outstanding customer service track record, our websites accepts back orders as per the request of our customers, unfortunately at times some manufacturers do encounter production capacity issues and keep on pushing the dates, in some instance our customers will wait over a year as some components are just unavailable anywhere and and sold out globally. We do agree that the order notifications which are highly automated and adapted to most query could be updated with our support center link and phone numbers in order to make it easier for the customers to reach us for substitution or order updates as mentioned in the notification, we will get these enhanced and done in our next system upgrade. We have cancelled the order as per your ticket received Saturday via our support center, and we do hope that we can restore your faith in Robotshop. Sincerely,
