Stay away and please warn others!
I ordered a shed for my animals at the start of October 2022, during terrible floods. I explained that the situation was urgent. The salesperson assured me he could fast track my order and it would take only 2 weeks for it to arrive! How shameful to do this to someone suffering three major floods and just trying to look after her animals.... we are not rich... The promised delivery was soon extended to 4 weeks and then it all went pear shaped. First they hounded me for the full payment, with suggestions delivery was imminent. I paid (the fool that I am) the week before I was told it would arrive. After this, every week the delivery date was pushed back and nothing was guaranteed. I remained polite to the staff on the phone. I then issued a written notice explaining the Australian Consumer Law (look it up) and my rights, and that they had two weeks to either deliver the goods or provide a full refund. OR I take court action. Their response was a phone call and then an email (as I requested written evidence of what they were promising now). The email again did not provide a date for delivery, contained a disclaimer about "things out of our control", failed to give any reasonable excuse for delays so far. You guessed it - I was not impressed.
We are now at the 8 week mark and counting. Except I no longer want this product, as it is clear they won't deliver next week and it is all a giant LIE. I've now issued a formal (written) request for immediate refund and tomorrow I am going to be applying to the Queensland Tribunal (where small claims go), because I expect them to be stupid and to try and ignore me. What else can you expect from people that treat you like this right? Even though I am in NSW and this is a Queensland company, I can "appear" via telephone to resolve the matter and have official orders made against this company. There are steps that can be taken to force them to pay, once the orders are made. And it should be straightforward to get the orders, fingers crossed I get a date for mediation / hearing before Xmas...
Truly shameful performance by Transportable Shade Sheds - they also blocked me from their Facebook page after I left an unhappy comment to warn others. I am trying to warn people everywhere, as I wish someone had warned me! Steer clear!
