If you can avoid Big Van World then do

If you can avoid Big Van World then do. An expensive waste of time. Note that should you buy a van, tax and insure it and then they fail to supply you will not get that money back.

Dear Mr. Harrison,

We’re sorry to hear that you were unhappy with your experience and would like to clarify the situation.

The delay in collecting your vehicle was due to a part being on order from the manufacturer. While we understand this was frustrating, it was unfortunately beyond our control. Throughout this time, we kept you informed and did everything possible to assist you.

To help resolve the situation, we also offered you an alternative vehicle that was available immediately at a £1,000 lower price, which you chose to decline. We refunded your money.

We take the safety and well-being of our staff very seriously and do not tolerate threatening behaviour.

Providing excellent customer service is always our priority, and we regret that this situation did not meet your expectations. Should you wish to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.

Shocking experience with this company

Shocking experience with this company. I would not recommend anyone to buy a vehicle from here. Especially from a lady called Tasmin. I came to pick up a lorry the rear bumper was loose and hanging on by one cable tie. Vehicle had a massive air leak. And was not safe to be driven. When asked I was told lie after lie. They would not allow me to even complain. One of the worse buying experiences I’ve ever had.

Dear Mr Zorlu,
We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way about your experience with us. However, we’d like to clarify a few key points to ensure an accurate representation of the situation.

Firstly, we encourage potential customers to see all other reviews mentioning Tasmin, as they reflect her professionalism, honesty, and dedication to excellent customer service.

Regarding your concerns:
• The "rear bumper" you mentioned was actually the number plate board, which had been temporarily secured after the removal of the box at your request. This was done to ensure it could be safely driven to the bodybuilder for the recovery back to be fitted.
• The air leak you referred to was a minor issue from a pipe, which we replaced immediately while you waited. The number plate board was not designed to be pulled, and that caused it to come loose, which we then secured again.
• We offered a £150 discount (gesture of goodwill) and even proposed to repair the air leak at our cost once the body was fitted.
• You did have the opportunity to raise complaints—and in fact, you did so to Tasmin, the General Manager, and the Director. We take all feedback seriously and were open to resolving any concerns.
• Unfortunately, your physically aggressive behaviour was noted by multiple staff members, including those in other departments who were not even involved in the discussion. Other customers have also made reference to the behaviour they witnessed.

Finally, the vehicle purchased was a 6-year-old lorry with 308,000 km on the clock, which had been fully prepped with a six-weekly check at our HGV site before collection.

We take pride in our transparency and high customer satisfaction, as reflected in numerous positive reviews. We regret that your experience did not meet expectations, but we stand by the fairness and professionalism of our team throughout the process. While we are always open to resolving concerns professionally, we have a zero-tolerance policy for physical aggression toward our staff. Under no circumstances will we allow intimidation or hostility in our workplace.

Best regards,

Big Van World Team

We spotted an advert and from first contact the team at Big Van World have done a fantastic job. The finance brookers we used were not ideal and Tasmin @ Big Van World was brilliant on chasing them up, sorting delivery and all paperwork. We would highly recommend Big Van World to anyone wanting to source a vehicle.

Thank you so much, my husband loves his brand new motocross bike, was so easy to deal with Torie, always very helpful with our questions and accommodating the pick up time on a Sunday for my too excited husband.
