Beware extra hidden delivery charges

Ordered and paid for Maia worktops inc £75 delivery charge , website states in stock 7-14 days. After 14 days I emailed to chase the order to be told another 2 weeks .. and an extra £155 delivery charge.. no resolution from bbk online stores so awaiting refund , delivery charges still not updated on website , it’s against trading standards to charge one amount then ask you for more after payment .

Dear Mrs Marshall,
I am sorry to hear that you've had such a bad experience ordering Maia worktops from us. Please take into consideration that your location SA70 is considered a remote delivery area, and seeing as Maia is made to order and delivered direct from factory the extra delivery charges is pure cost. We are certainly not in the habit of charging excessive delivery fees, but on this occasion is was impossible to absorb the extra delivery fees associated with your order specifically.

I had a really bad experience with this company. Ordered worktops around October last year. Expect delivery was early December. Got told a week after delivery date that they would now be due around end of January. Said I would pick the worktop up myself. 8 hour round trip. Still chasing up delivery refund. Awful service.

Dear Mr Kerr,
I am very sorry that you've had such a bad experience. It can be challenging to deliver to your area (IV30), especially large format items such as the island worktops 3050 x 1240mm you had ordered. But still chasing the delivery refund is completely unacceptable. I have raised issue with accounting and will ensure it is resolved today.

100% Recommend! 10/10!

Ordered worktops during one of the flash sales so saved 25%. Was the cheapest I could find anywhere online. I made the order late in the evening but the next day I received a call from Jules asking when I would like the worktops to be delivered. She was very helpful and we arranged to have them delivered the following week giving my builder time to finish building the units before the worktops arrived. I received an email and text message the day before delivery with a 2 hour time slot. Then on the day of delivery the driver called when he was one hour away. When they arrived the delivery drivers helped to carry the worktops around the side of my house and into the kitchen from the back entrance. This was super helpful! All in all the service has been fantastic from start to finish. Would 100% recommend! 10/10!

Fantastic communication from Jules.

Fantastic communication from Jules.
I had a sticky start with my order but this was resolved instantly . Jules stayed in touch and went the extra mile to ensure my item was sourced from another manufacturer and delivered from a local provider to keep delivery costs down.
Thanks Jules

Amazing customer support

Customer service informed me of the manufacturer delay to my Minerva worktop within a couple of days and offered me the option of cancelling the order. I decided to wait the couple of months and they kept in touch with progress. Jules, in particular, was amazing when I needed a rushed replacement worktop and supported me through the process. Can't fault the CS team and Online Stores.

Made to order Showerwall acrylic panels…

My order was made to order and delivered direct from the manufacturer. BBK direct's communication was great, they asked when I wanted the order delivered and advised the manufacturer. When the manufacturer couldn't meet the original delivery date Jules from BBK Direct chased them up, agreed a new date then followed up to ensure the delivery date would be met. She kept me informed throughout. The service was 5 star, as was the product.

DO NOT USE- court action needed

I am having to go through the small claims to get a refund. Bought a work top and immediately cancelled it. It is now 34 days and I have still not got my money back, despite numerous phone calls and emails.
They give constant excuses and promise it has been done and then nothing, they say they will email and update me and never do. This is £1,509 so not money that I can afford to be without. The law states a refund should be given in 14 days.

Minerva worktops

Very pleased with this worktop The driver who delivered it? Was very helpful. I know it took longer to deliver than I was told. But that wasn't the problem.
It's all installed now in the kitchen, and looks really good. we are very pleased with it. thanks

Great service & price

Having read some poor reviews I phoned and talked to someone who reassured me that the company was not the one that had previously had the website. So I went ahead with the order, and it arrived on the date specified and was exactly what we wanted. Excellent service. Thank you.

compact laminate worktops

I bought 3 compact laminate worktops and was very happy with experience for the following reasons: 1) very competitive price, 2) they could hold until I needed, 3) the only supplier I could find that had the laminate design I wanted and could deliver to my post code ( south coast) other suppliers would not deliver, 4) very helpful sales sorting out delivery date and prompt communication and 5) very helpful delivery driver. TBH a rare combination these days - well done.

Original worktop was not in stock so was offered a comparison worktop, by Jules. Process of order was smooth and delivery - 2 man, put the worktop in my garage. I'm pending a balance refund which has not been refunded yet so hopefully that will get processed quickly. The refund was sorted in about a week. So all good. Worktop now fitted and matches closely with the original Omega Surf.

zenith worktops

I ordered my zenith worktops from bbk-direct on 15/03/25 and they arrived today (20/03/25). I’m very happy with them. The reason I feel compelled to leave this review is because of all the terrible recent reviews that led me to believe I’d fallen victim to a fraudulent scamming website. I’m no expert but looked for “Online Stores Ltd” and “BBK Direct” on companies house and both show as dissolved businesses. This is very odd and although I received my worktops on time and in good condition I’m still curious as to who I’ve actually purchased them from?
Anyway, do your own research but from my experience BBK/online stores Ltd have been trustworthy.

Thank you for your online review.
We're so pleased that you received your order as planned. Yes, we did recently take over the website domain www.bbk-direct.uk.com and the company is registered as Online Stores BBK Ltd. Both other dissolved companies you are referring to have no association with us.

The good & the bad

The good
Great price for the size we couldn't find anywhere else

The bad
The delivery team have invented a service called "Curb Side", which means they insist on you having "2 able bodied people", to receive the delivery, then send one man in a truck with no tail lift and ask you to help remove the item from the truck.

Fantastic worktops and a 5 star experience!!!

The Formica worktops are fantastic quality and the price from online stores was the lowest I could find. Communication was great and I was able to pick a delivery date that suited me only 3 days from submitting my order. The 2 man delivery service arrived in the time slot that had been promised and everything was perfect. The worktops look superb and it was a 5 star service overall; thanks !!!

Don’t order anything from this company

Don’t order anything from this company. They will rob you. I ordered kitchen worktops beginning of September . They didn’t give me any delivery date by beginning of November, when I cancel the order I received an email that the company is in voluntary liquidation. Now I am nearly £1600.00 behind and delayed wit the project because of them .
