Express delivery is misleading

Ordered a part with express delivery (the very reason Wiautomation were chosen, after a week contacted them to be told that hidden in their terms and conditions it can take up to 10 working days (not express at all). I asked if it had been dispatched, the answer was no it hadn't left its original destination, I asked to cancel and was told that there would be a re-stocking fee of nearly 50% the value of the product that again is in their small print. Not sure how this is legal when operating in the UK but have now been blacklisted by my organisation.

Dear Customer,
We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We would like to clarify that our standard shipping time for in-stock items is between 1 to 10 working days.

This information, along with our order cancellation policy, is clearly outlined in our Shipping and Delivery section and Terms and Conditions, which are accepted at checkout.

In your case, the order was already being processed and scheduled for shipment within this timeframe, which is why cancellation was no longer feasible.

Nonetheless, to offer flexibility, we proposed a partial refund in line with our policies, which state that cancellations are evaluated on a case-by-case basis once order preparation begins.

"3 - AVAILABILITY AND CANCELLATION OF THE ORDER
In cases where the conditions for cancellation referred to in the previous points do not apply, a cancellation may still be requested by the customer, subject to confirmation by Parcop S.r.l., with the following deductions: (i) administrative management fee, (ii) cost of purchasing back-order components, (iii) transport costs, (iv) customs charges, (v) collection and currency exchange fees already borne by Parcop S.r.l. in relation to the canceled order, and possibly an additional penalty equal to 40% of the product's value, plus further reductions if the goods are returned in a condition different from that in which they were sold..."


https://us.wiautomation.com/termini-e-condizioni-di-uso

Our customer service team worked to clarify these steps, and your final decision was to proceed with the shipment.

We remain committed to improving our service and dispatch times, at the same time, we encourage reviewing our terms prior to placing an order, as they are presented and agreed upon during checkout.

We appreciate your understanding and are always available to discuss any further concerns directly.

Kind regards,
Maria – Customer Support

I was hesitant to try this because it was my first order from a site I wasn't familiar with. However, the service was professional, the information was readily available, and the support was prompt and positive. The order was received in excellent condition.
Just one thing : The order processing time, which is 3 to 5 days, is a bit long. I hope they develop it to a same-day or next-day delivery at the latest.

It was fairly simple to pay.
Only issue is whether or not i will receive a real invoice or do I use the proforma invoice as the real invoice.

Stick with RS or local company

Stick with RS or local company. No return policy, which is crazy for an online company. Slow delivery which is why we want to back the order. Rang them up to cancel said just request a return once it arrives week later part arrives request to return it. Don't accept returns

Dear James,
We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. Please allow us, however, to clarify a few key points regarding your case.

As clearly outlined in our Terms and Conditions, which all customers are required to read and sign prior to confirming any order, returns are not accepted from companies or individual firms. This policy is in place to ensure full transparency and avoid any misunderstanding, and we must respectfully adhere to it.

Furthermore, please note that items marked as "in stock" may require 1 to 10 business days for handling and internal transfer between our various warehouses. In your specific case, the order was processed and shipped without delay within the stated timeframe of 4 working days.

We understand that you may have expected a different process, but based on the above, we must confirm that a return cannot be accepted in this case.

Should you require further information or support, our team will be more than happy to assist you.
A member of our customer service department will reach out to you shortly.

Best regards,
Martina

Horrible customer service

Horrible customer service. I understand things aren’t the same in Italy as they are in the U.S but their team needs to take a course in proper customer service. From the beginning they treated me like I was their enemy. I order a product that they said would be quick but ended up taking a month to even be confirmed. I gave them plenty of notice to cancel it and they said because I’m not one of their members I can’t cancel. How is that a policy that’s just pushing people away. Finally I had to file a claim with PayPal ,which are the best, to cancel my order for false information. Company has not respect for their customers. I don’t care if we’re not in the same country everybody should be treated with respect.

Dear Customer,

We sincerely regret to learn of your dissatisfaction regarding our customer service/policy.
Our customers are at the heart of our business, but it is important to clarify that, like any company, we have terms and conditions that must be read and accepted before proceeding with a purchase.
We regret that these do not meet your expectations, but they are necessary for commercial purposes.

Referring to "members" is not accurate, as we do not have a preferential line for members and non-members; the only distinction is between B2C and B2B, as in your case.

It is important to clarify that the processing times for our orders are variable, as stated in the terms and conditions of sale. We have multiple warehouses and source supplies based on various parameters, which results in varying processing times.

We are committed to improving our service and hope to count you among our satisfied customers soon, offering a service that aligns with your expectations.

Best regards
Paola

Dear Thomas,

We would like to clarify that the description in your review does not reflect an authentic experience with our company. There have been no recent interactions between us, and as such, we consider this review to be spam, which has already been reported to the relevant authorities.

That said, we want to assure all of our customers that we are always available to assist with any genuine issues or concerns related to our services and products. We encourage you, or any customer, to reach out directly, and we will be happy to help.

1st Experience was not so great as the shipment was delayed and than was sent in 2 parts. But current was above my expectations and reached well before in time.
The Freight charges seems to be little on the higher side and should be looked in to.

We are committed to improving our processes to prevent such delays in the future and truly appreciate your patience. We hope to assist you again on WiAutomation.
