Great service and advice.

I had an issue with a filter and Emma one of the technical team was absolutely great. She explained everything to me in layman’s terms. Was patient with my questions and sympathetic to our issue.
Great service as always, that’s why we have been with them since 2011 👍

This was a 6 monthly repeat order

This was a repeat order. I buy fresh filters for my big blue every 6 months. I always go with EMW because they have a good choice of filters and always a speedy delivery.

Getting a refund is nigh impossible

Bought a water filter and softener but it wouldn't fit so I needed to return it. No problem it seemed - at least to being with. We got a return number (hadn't even unpacked it) and actually delivered it back to them in person. Getting the payment back was an entirely different matter. All sorts of excuses. After a week - they needed to unpack it and check it over. Then they needed permission from someone. Then, they were short staffed. Then admin were only part time and so not available to do it. Then they pointed out it took time for the banks to act on their instructions and send a credit. Paid for by credit card on 21 Mar 24, refund received after much hassle on 7 May 24 - and that was £25 short of what I had paid. EMWC: If you are reading this, I'm still waiting.

In reply:
I didn't have a confirmation email or read your website before buying. I purchased at a show after face to face communication and the returns policy wasn't mentioned. I did subsequently check your website and read your policy, but being realistic, does it really take nearly 7 weeks to check the returned items? I would have thought a quick skim through orders and past emails about returns would have brought up my name - after all, I did email a lot.

Additional comment: Apparently, the £25 was retained for repackaging. I slit though the tape and removed the leaflet. That's all!

Hello WW, without knowing the specifics about your identity, your purchase and your case details its difficult to give a direct reply.
What we will say is that we are completely transparent about our returns policy, which is clearly laid out in your order confirmation email and on our website. We take pride in the products we sell and we have to ensure that any items that are being returned to us, for whatever reason, are in perfect condition and packaged. All this takes time as every single thing coming back is checked as suitable to return to stock. If you need any further information please feel free to contact us directly on info@eastmidlandswater.com

If I could give no stars I would

I could give no stars I would. What an appalling company. I returned a water softener 2 months ago recorded delivery for best part of £1k refund and still no money has come back.
Apparently it’s waiting a a Managers approval ….. buying on line and returning items is a part of how we all shop today, why can this company not get it right.
My only option is to raise a dispute with the bank. Avoid at all costs…..

Hello Tracey, having scoured our database for a purchase in your name - we cannot find anything under 'Tracey Hart'. Unfortunately I can only respond to reviews once we have verified a purchase and we know we are in dialogue with the right person.

I spoke to Christina about a water softener and water filter + tap and ordered one of each and she also changed 25kg bags of tablets to salt blocks as it is easier for me to lift. The delivery was within 2/3 days very satisfied with service

Avoid. Sent damaged blocks

Avoid. If the blocks are smashed and still wrapped in bubble wrap, and the outer box is intact, can only mean the blocks were sent damaged. Won’t be using East Midlands Water again.

Hello spike, I can assure you that our block salt is always sent out intact. Block salt by its very nature is a brittle product and despite the best wrapping in the world it is still exposed to the dips and troughs of the UK courier system (or should that be the dips and troughs of our highways?). Block salt is still perfectly usable even if it has been damaged. It's a shame that you have chosen not to use us again because if you had contacted us directly we might have been able to assist. This review was the first we knew of your difficulty and we are unable to trace you directly under the name 'spike'. Best wishes EMWC
