I had great service from these guys and left them a 5 star Google Review. My second order has been an unmitigated disaster where they appear to simply have no clue and a week after paying they still haven't resolved an issue, caused by them requiring an additional £10 to cover postage, which I paid.

Anyone else have any experience good or bad with these guys?

I had brilliant service from them earlier in the year. I suppose things can and do go wrong sometimes.

 

[DaveFromBarrow]

I'm sure, and I did on my first purchase of a MaxxAir and I praised them for it. This second one has been incompetence personified and all cased by them demanding another £10 (which I paid) after I'd made a purchase. It's been one of those, I can't believe how incompetent a company can be, type situations.

Just bought my bathroom window off them, great service

 

[Revolvor]

I wanted to fit a Maxxfan but was unsure whether I had enough space. When I phoned them they took one out of a box and measured it for me. As it wouldn't fit, I subsequently ordered a Mini Heki which arrived promptly.

Like I said, they gave me great service on my first order and have royally messed up my second, compounded by poor comms and a seeming reluctance to take ownership of the problem they created.

I've ordered loads of stuff from them and never had any issues. Jacksons & Clearcut have been my go-to online shops

few times, always good.

Shudda got it off safestyle U.K.

I say you buy one you get one free, I say you buy one…….you know how it goes

For anyone who's interested, here's the exchange - which has STILL not been resolved, all over £10. Customer services in 21st century Britain Reverse order obviously.

Please Resolve This
You said: Guys, I am pulling my hair out with this order. Despite spending some time on the phone with one of your customer services representatives and explaining that you had requested money from the wrong PayPal account, and I had paid you the additional £10 via the correct PayPal account you have a re-sent a request for money from the incorrect PayPal account, I have now cancelled this request. I have also requested PayPal reimburse the £10 I sent you on the 14th of September from the correct PayPal account (*****@something.com), which they are now doing. I made the point when I called that the outstanding amount requested has been requested from the wrong account and you assured me it hadn't, then proceeded to send a reminder for the £10 from the wrong account. As PayPal are now reimbursing my £10 and am happy to pay you the £10 over the phone via card so you can despatch my items. ************. I eagerly await your call. Dave

Update
You said: I have now cancelled your incorrect money request to ******@something.com. I have raised a dispute with PayPal for the £10 payment I made on the 14th September. This only leaves us to agree on the best way for me to pay the additional £10 shipping fee you have requested, you can then send my items.

20th Sep 2022 @ 9:26 AM
It Isn't Pending
You said: The payment was paid on the 14th of September from my account *****@something.com. ************************ Perhaps you're looking at the request you incorrectly sent to *****@something.com. This really has turned into a sorry state of affairs. d

Wrong PayPal Account
You said: Hi, You'll see the original payment was made from *****@something.com not *****@something.com. Please cancel the one you're requested, that's my company account, and request the £10 from ****@something.com. my personal account. cheers d

Re: OK
Jacksons Leisure Supplies said: Good afternoon, David. Just a courtesy message to let you know I have sent over the Paypal request. Please advise once paid, we can then arrange for your order to be shipped. Kind Regards ******** ********

OK
You said: Very disappointing but please send me the PayPal request for another £10. Suggest you review your courier of choice, Aboyne is not in the middle of nowhere and other couriers do not gouge people who live here. cheers d

Re: Really?
Jacksons Leisure Supplies said: Good Morning David, I have chased this with our logistics team and they have investigated different pricings with various couriers but unfortunately the price you have been charged does not reflect the price the couriers charge to ship to this postcode. We are currently investigating why this has not been raised in the past as this is postcode falls under surcharge area with our courier If you could please advise whether you would like to continue with this purchase and I can arrange at your request a PayPal request for additional payment, our bank details to make payment directly into the bank or a custom order link for just the postage cost requested. I look forward to your response, Kind Regards *******

14th Sep 2022 @ 10:03 AM
Really?
You said: Hi, I bought a much larger item from you a couple of weeks ago - a Maxxair - and the carriage was normal. We don't live in the Islands or Highlands and never get charged extra for postage. Can you clarify why this, a much smaller item, is an additional £10? cheers d

Re: Order #158143
Jacksons Leisure Supplies said: Good morning David, Thank you for your purchase with Jackson's Leisure. Unfortunately, the item that you have ordered requires an additional payment in order to cover delivery costs. This may be because of your location, the size of the product, or other unforeseen causes. With these factors in mind, we will need to ship this order with a specialist courier, which will cost an extra £10. Alternatively, you can choose to arrange for your own third-party courier to collect your order from us and deliver it to your address. However, this would have to be arranged independently by yourself. I can also cancel and refund your order if required—let me know which option sounds best for you. Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. I look forward to your reply. Kind regards ********

I can see your frustration a good move would be to suggest some one on their staff looks at these posts to see how silly this is getting and someone with common sense can sort it out

 

[Steve N Tracy]

They sent me a burnt out fridge pcb in a unsealed anti-static bag, refused to change it. Because the bag had been opened! Will never use them again.

 

[Aspenshaw]

I vowed over 15 years ago never to use them again following poor service. Earlier this year I needed a part urgently and Jacksons were the nearest supplier. Against my vow, I took the plunge and drove over to Jacksons. They were good to me. Part in stock at a competitive price. They are now in my good books!

 

[DaveFromBarrow]

In the end I phoned them to pay the £10 additional postage. My order status page now shows this.

[cossie303]

I also placed an order with them and was asked for an additional £10.00 for postage. I cancelled the order as I refuse to pay extra postage for my post code which is mainland UK and not in the highlands. Got a refund no bother from them (they were very helpful) and went back on line where I got the items substantially cheaper and with free postage.

Today, the 26th September, they called to ask me to make the additional £10 payment I paid on Friday last week. I pointed out I had paid it, which they confirmed.

Then, at 17:00 someone else called from Jacksons to advise the fixing kit for the Micro Heiki is out of stock.

I think this is genuinely a case of "you could not make this up".

They may have improved in the 2 years since this thread was started.

 

[scotjimland]

My "go-to" supplier.. bought loads of gear from them..

 

[Steve N Tracy]

There seems to be quite a few issues with service from them, I have had a good experiences in the past but after the last thing I bought from them I cannot recommend them

Had plenty things from them myself and always had good service and price

 

[Skyway]

No They gone down hill even more

 

[sedge]

It being less than half an hours drive away from our house we have more than frequently nipped in to get whatever, over the last 50 or 60 years. Pete even used to work for their insurers at one time as well as owning a caravan on living locally. Never claimed to be the cheapest for anything AFAIK , and quite often aren't, BUT with shedloads of camping thingummies you just need to physically check the thing out to assess whether the Bloggs's item is better quality than the Hoggs's one, before actually investing any money on said item. A number of things attract a 10% discount with eg CAMC or CCC discount as long as you can show em your membership thereof at the till.

 

[Nanniemate]

Did the OP get his fixing kit?

 

[tinkertaylor]

Did the OP get his fixing kit?

I would hope so the threads nearly 2 years old. Never know though looking at some of the posts.
There's two Jacksons, are they related, one in Warwickshire and one in the Wirral?

I'm closing this thread, I missed it first time around. Had I seen it, I would have directed it to the review section.

In a thread like this, you just get Facebook, 'bargepole' type comments. You can say what you like about a company here, as long as its the truth and in the review section.
