Hi  Everyone,
I would like to thank you for the service you provided when I purchased my new NEFF cooker.
I am thrilled with my purchase and it has already been used to do a great deal of baking etc. Great results so far.
In particular I would like to thank Oliver for his assistance and patience .
I will certainly recommend your company.
Kind Regards

Thanks Karl and Kieran for sorting out our new cooker at such a competitive price and delivery on the day that had been given. It is good to buy from a local business rather than an on-line warehouse and your Stone outlet was well worth the visit.
So 5 STARS for the service as well as the delivery . We were really pleased that the new cooker was delivered to the point of connection rather than left on the doorstep and the old cooker taken away at a very reasonable price. We wish you every success for the future.
Regards,
Steve and Wendy Williams

I placed this order online on Monday 21st September and was surprised to receive a telephone call almost immediately to arrange delivery the next day, amazing.  When your people arrived, they were courteous, professional and friendly, removed the old machine without any difficulty and brought in the new machine, installed and tested it, very quickly and efficiently. It is a joy to deal with a company such as Hylands who take care of customers and give a good service, which is why I have returned to buy from you many times over the years.  Thank you once again and congratulations on upir excellent staff, from the gentleman who telephoned me to arrange the delivery (very helpful and friendly) to the two gentlemen who did the delivery, installation and collection.  Top marks and I will recommend you to all my family and friends.

 Hi, We recently bought a washer over the phone , we would like to say how helpful and knowledgeable Jack Bradbury was, he was not pushy in any way and we felt comfortable doing business with him over the phone. He explained everything we needed to know and did not confuse us, so a big thank you to Jack.
The two engineers that delivered and fitted the washer for us were also polite, helpful, clean and tidy, we did not get their names but would also like to thank them.
Thank you again for a quick and easy transaction .

Just to say a huge thank you to all at Hylands for advising us and for getting a new fridge freezer delivered to my mother-in-law in Stone at such short notice. She is delighted with her new purchase and so grateful to Hylands for helping her out in what was a difficult situation when her old fridge freezer failed yesterday morning. Thank you once again for your prompt and kind action which was so greatly appreciated. Stephen Holland

Good Afternoon,  I just want to thank Rob and his son for the outstanding service you provided when My washer broke.  My daughter Angela rang you and within 24 hours we have a new washer.
I was very worried as I thought we would not be able to get any help in the current situation , but as before when you helped me , Hylands came to my rescue.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for you and your son was excellent , polite and friendly and professional and did a wonderful job.
I will recommend you as always and will come back to you as soon as I require another electrical item. 
I cannot thank you enough . You are both wonderful.
very best wishes.

Hi Karl,
My order for kitchen appliances  was safely delivered a couple of weeks ago and is now installed and working in our kitchen. We are very pleased with it all. Paper work came through the other day and I note a cashback offer on the hob as well as the cooker. Thank you for bringing this to my attention ~ it will nearly half pay for the television!!
I have to say it was a very refreshing experience dealing with you at Hylands. Being able to speak to someone who knows and understands their products and is able to offer good sound advice made it a rewarding experience. The sales service as well ordering and then holding the order until I was ready to receive it was good. I shall certainly recommend you to others and indeed I have already done so to a couple of people. Well done.
Many thanks
John

Subject: Replacement Phone with Panasonic unit.
 
Since retirement in Stone we have used Hylands whenever possible for electrical goods.  Wanting the personal service rather than the anonymity of national chains of stores.  I recently bought a new home phone from your Stone store.  It proved to have several problems and in the end I was given a "Fault" number by BT Help and asked to return it to the store for a replacement. The manager of the Stone store was very courteous mentioning that as there had been several complaints the model had been withdrawn from your sales. We changed to a Panasonic land line set, and were told that it would be delivered to the store the next day (Saturday) and that the Manager would phone me on my mobile as soon as it was in. This he did, and greeted me warmly when I came to the shop about half and hour later. The new phone seems fine, but I will chiefly remember the episode for the sensitivity, and kindness of your staff at Stone. 
 
I rarely write these sort of replies but on this occasion wanted you all to know how much your concern and help was appreciated.
 
With every blessing

Massive thanks to you Hylands for your outstanding 5 star service. You have gone that extra mile to help me every step of the way. Your service goes above and beyond customer's expectation and satisfaction. You have customer's interest in heart of your actions and that is what makes you different from big corporate retailers. All my queries dealt with in a timely and friendly manner. Thank you! One could only wish for more independent shop with this level of service. Thank you!!!

I would just like to thank you for the superb speedy service we received when purchasing a new washing machine and tumble drier online from your website. Though we live about 25 mile away, from our initial enquiry and purchase to installation was less than 24 hours. Delivery/installation guys were very efficient and polite. We first used your services when our Panasonic DVD recorder needed repairing a few years ago and our local Panasonic agent said it wasn't faulty, but your engineers diagnosed the fault and repaired it, even collecting it from and returning it to our home.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the Hylands team. 
 
Having spoken to Alan within service and stressed the urgency of a new hob,  he instantly did what he could to arrange installation of my new job for the Saturday afternoon, despite having a shortage of installers due to holidays. Our job required two men as the under hob oven needed to be taken out. 
 
Glyn and Steve arrived on the day to carry out the work. Steve, we believe would have normally been based in the warehouse. Both Glyn and Steve were outstanding. They treated our property with the upmost respect. Nothing was too much for these guys. It was lovely to have workmen arrive at your property and leave the job without any mess or damage. 
 
Please could you personally thank them. 
 
We will definitively be using your company again. A fabulous service from start to finish. Thank you.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I visited the Longton branch last Thursday with my Dad to help him purchase a new washing machine.  We were attended to by Ron and due to the exceptional customer service that we received from him, I wanted to leave feedback.

Ron was extremely professional in his approach, engaging, polite and most importantly listened to our requirements which he then translated into showing us the optimum machines to suit my Dad's needs.  Ron explained comprehensively the different models demonstrating excellent product knowledge.  He arranged for the delivery and installation to take place on Friday and although I was not present for this, I can confirm that Dad was also extremely pleased with the delivery gentlemen and the excellent service that they provided. 

I have to commend Ron overall for the outstanding customer service that he provided.  Usually, people work at the level required to meet the customer's needs but I have to say that Ron's focus was to go above and beyond that level by aiming to exceed customer expectation and his attitude is most definitely what differentiates good customer service and outstanding customer service.  Thank you Ron, you are an excellent ambassador for the company.

I would also like to take this opportunity to commend Hyland's - I really appreciate independent shops where a customer feels that they are valued through being treated as individuals rather than just another customer through the door.  It is this personal service that will ensure that I return to you in the future.

Yours faithfully,

A. Williams (Mrs)

Good Afternoon

I am writing on behalf of my mum Bridget Kaine to say a huge thanks to Hylands for their outstanding customer service.  The washer broke on Friday and as mum is struggling to walk at the moment and cannot get to the shops I rang the Longton branch and explained our situation . The gentleman I spoke to was very patient and helpful and I ordered the washer that we required. However, mum wanted to pay cash but as she couldn't get across to the shop I didn't know what to do. As we live close to Hanley I was told that I could go into Hanley to pay the next day which was brilliant.

I went in to Hanley on Saturday and was seen by Jamie who already knew about the purchase. Both Jamie and the other gentleman in the shop were friendly and helpful and again everything was done speedily.

The washer was delivered yesterday by two friendly cheerful men who never once complained or moaned as you often hear delivery men doing these days.  They installed the machine quickly and with no mess.

It is so rare these days to find a company who really believes in first class customer service and will be certainly using you again.  Thanks to all.

Angela Kaine (on behalf of Bridget Kaine)

I just wanted to say thank you for your superb service. My washing machine broke down mid cycle on Saturday, I located a replacement on your website, telephoned your Stone store and it was delivered, fitted and the old one removed this morning. I can thoroughly recommend your store and your delivery men were lovely and ensured that the new washing machine was fully working before they left.

Hello Hylands just thought I'd let you know that I have had another good experience at your Longton store and once again was helped by Ron. I have made many purchases from you over the last few years and would never shop anywhere else ever. When my family need anything they always ask me to get it for them and I always come to you guys. On one occasion I even paid more for a cooker than I would have done if I'd bought it from another store but I only have confidence in Hylands. I was looking for a Zanussi gas cooker for my grown up grand-daughter and decided to get her the one that I had had from you five years ago and as I couldn't see it on the website, I came to see Ron on 6th February. He had one in the showroom but it was white and I wanted to get a black one the same as the one I had so Ron said go and do some shopping and I will ask head office if we can get it. Came back and Ron had come up with it. As there were three cookers pretty much the same he went to the trouble of printing off the specs of all three. I made the decision right there and then and ordered it. It's black like mine but slightly different and it was delivered 13th February. Grand-daughter is very pleased with it. Six months ago my daughter in law moved home and purchased her washer, cooker, dryer and dyson vacuum cleaner from you. She had previously bought them all from you before but wanted all new again so came back to you. In fact it was she who told me about you some years ago as she came from Longton and her mother had always bought from you. I believe people have more confidence buying from a local family business than just a company on the internet.

So once again thank you very much. Special thanks to Ron

Regards

Christine Robbins

Just a quick email to say my 8 yr old Bosch washer originally from your shop 
Hylands, finally expired late yesterday afternoon, within 24 hrs Stone 
branch had supplied, delivered & installed a new Bosch and cheaper than I 
had looked at on line, so many thanks to Mike at Stone for helping me decide 
& process the sale.

Again another quality product from your business and top class customer 
service, the delivery lads were lovely, efficient & patient ( as I had 
forgotten to empty the cupboard due to the speed of the purchase) & 
completed the job so fast, I was lagging behind cleaning as they removed the 
old and installed the new!

I have posted a photo and compliment on my FB page

It makes a potential problem into a happy shopping experience without 
leaving home or worrying where to go, how much etc etc so my day hasn't been 
disrupted at all 

So many many thanks, please pass on my comments to your super efficient 
lovely staff and delivery lads....well done!

Kind regards

The weekend 2nd / 3rd May our fridge freezer and Sony TV both failed. 

I knew Andy Fox, a parent at my son’s school had some connection with both white goods and technolgy.

In the playground on Tuesday 5th May, the first opportunity I had to speak to him, I told him what model fridge freezer we wanted, and also which 4k LED TV system.

‘I’m not at work today Mike’, he said, but I’ll telephone work, check the stock situation and get back to you in twenty minutes.

By 2pm the same day both items were delivered.

Now that is what you call service!

I get the impression from Andy that he and Hylands want to treat the customer in the way they would like to be treated themselves.

That’s a brilliant way to do things.

Repeat business is crucial and the best way to get that is to delight the customer.

Looking at your website, you have been around a long time, and when I was a schoolboy, my dad used to buy from the original Meir shop:

A couple of Raleigh bikes, and Roberts Radios/Hi Fi/TV.

Resellers have seen their box margins coming down year on year, so it is encouraging to see an established company with an interesting history and an expanding future.

Your team are probably your most important asset and it is clear from your site that there is a fair amount of friendly banter and fun going on at work, which is exactly as it should be.

Thank You again for the brilliant service and we will recommend Hylands with confidence.

Best Regards,

Michael Tyson

Our fridge broke down on the morning that we were due to go on holiday two weeks ago, leaving us with the task of quickly getting a replacement on our return; and at the height of Summer to!  We discovered through your team that our 20-year-old kitchen was a one-off and that we were going to have problems with a new built-in fridge.  Richard in the store could not have been more helpful; trawling not only through the company's stock but also through all fridge manufacturers' on-line details.

The result was that he found, in stock, the only model that would fit our kitchen arrangement. He had a model delivered to the store so that we could decide if it would be suitable and the new fridge and fitters arrived the next day. Your fitters cheerfully tackled all the difficulties that were presented by a tricky installation and we are now back to normal.  

We've frightened them all by telling them we'll ask for them personally when the freezer, which looks like be another one-off problem, fails!

Could you pass on our thanks to the people concerned.

Regards,

Pat and Pat Williams

For attention of Hylands Management:

Dear sirs,
I wanted to write and congratulate you on the performance of Simon at the Hylands branch in Stone, Staffordshire.
 
Simon's professionalism, openness, honesty and clear product knowledge were a key factor in our decision to go with Hylands for a recent purchase of TV & Surround sound etc with value in excess of £2000.
 
Furthermore, Simon's after-sales support in resolving a few issues we had was outstanding and will ensure we will use the store again without hesitation, and indeed recommend doing so to friends & relatives!

Simon should be congratulated on his efforts and it means that we have the opportunity to buy locally, from people who are not just "face less internet organisations".
 
WELL DONE!

The Hotpoint Fridge Freezer we bought from your Longton shop 9 years ago developed a fault on Saturday 3rd March 2012. We have got cover with RETRA Insurance but found out that there was no one to take our call as they don't work at the weekend. I telephoned Hylands and spoke to a gentleman called Bill. He was very nice but he explained that we would have to wait until Monday to arrange an Engineer to visit. As you can imagine I began to panic as we had just filled the freezer which I had already mentioned to Bill.  Ten minutes later we had a phone call from him asking us if we would like to loan a fridge freezer until it was repaired. We could not believe how thoughtful and kind this was, and within an hour it had been delivered. Can we just say thank you so so much for coming to our rescue. We phoned RETRA on Monday morning and on Tuesday a Hotpoint Engineer came and repaired it and you kindly picked the loan one up on Wednesday. Can we once again say a VERY BIG THANK YOU to all involved at Hylands. We are also sending a letter to The Sentinel regarding this matter and hope they will print it.

Yours Sincerely

Mr & Mrs Booth

When I discovered my washing machine had broken down on Christmas eve, I went down to Hylands in Longton at lunch time.

The staff could not have been more helpful and by 3pm I had my new machine installed at my home.

I then checked the price comparison sites to see if I had got a good deal. I discovered the product was £4.95 cheaper but having factored in the £12.95 delivery costs I had a much better deal.

With this excellent service I will in future always buy local.

Thank-you

Took delivery of our new led tv and home cinema on Saturday. After lots of advice from your staff (esp. John at Meir) we purchased on Friday and it was delivered on Saturday.

Fantastic !!! the whole experience was was made as smooth as possible- your engineers were efficient and helpful.

Please pass our thanks to all involved

btw- at the same time some friends have spent most of the last three days travelling from home to one of the large discount "sheds"  in Stafford trying to get their tv to work. They are now going back for a refund and will come back to you.

I could have bought a few £s cheaper- without doubt the Hylands support is worth every penny

I just wanted to say thank you for your prompt service today.  We called on Saturday to let you know that the tv had stopped working and Martin came out this morning to replace it.

Very impressed with the service and Martin was very professional and polite!

This is why we purchased from you - and not Amazon etc...!!

Thanks again.

As I was in dire straits days before Christmas in need of a cooker I went on your web site listed a few ovens but was a little confused with the "hard wiring". I thought I had better speak to someone before ordering. I did & he was really helpful, don't know his name, but thankyou for all the info. After hearing it all I made my decision and held my breath after asking when delivery would be. It could be delivered that afternoon what a suprise I was over the moon. A lovely young man made the delivery and he was polite and courteous (without being American) if you know what I mean. 
A big THANKYOU HYLANDS stay just as you are.
Best regards & Happy New Year

Dear Rob

Many thanks for your prompt reply and the excellent service we have again had from Hylands.

The new freezer is being delivered tomorrow at a time convenient to us and at a very competitive price. We live in Stone and try to use local shops and suppliers as much as possible - we bought a washing machine from you a few years ago and had equally good service.

The staff at your Stone branch deserve a huge compliment - that have provided us with a level of service above and beyond anything the major chain stores can aspire to. Please thank Paul in particular for being so friendly and helpful.

Thanks again

Julie Taylor

Hi to Hylands
There are something's a woman can't be without and when things go wrong us men get an ear bashing,
 
Thursday 2pm washer condemned,
                5pm washer order at Hyland's Longton Store
Saturday 1pm washer installed and working
 
Well done and to beat this the shop assistant was one of the most helpful and polite my wife has come across.
Not only this but, the two delivery men who also installed the washer and checked it for working correctly were friendly and great. In fact they were that quick at installing, testing and removing the old washer I never had chance to offer them a cup of tea.
 
The best for me is still to come!
 
The cost was better than if I had gone to Hylands larger competitors who always advertise that they are best! well Hylands beat the lot, as been proven with my purchase in the past
 
Thanks Again

I wish to thank you for your exceptional standard of service that I have received from your company.

I contacted your company at 09.00am on Saturday 12th March 2007. As our tumble dryer had packed in the day before.

I checked out most of the major electrical companies for prices and details of a replacement.

I saw an advert in the Sentinel for your company and checked out your web site. How surprised I was that you where cheaper not just for the product BUT you offered Free Delivery and Installation.

I ordered a New tumble dryer  at 09.00am and was informed that it would be delivered later in the afternoon.

We received a call from your driver at 11.00.am saying he is on his way and delivered at 11.15am What a service

We have told relatives and friends about this.

Please note most of the major electrical company's could not delivery for about 5-7 days

Thanking you

Mr K G Booth
