Dear Mark, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the early delivery and the misunderstanding regarding the delivery location. Upon reviewing our records, we noted there was a discussion about delivering to your garage. However, we were not aware that the garage was separate from your property and up some steps on the road. This detail was unfortunately not communicated to our delivery company, and we apologize for this oversight. Our delivery company strives to be as accurate as possible regarding delivery times, which are largely based on traffic and the speed of previous deliveries. As one of the first deliveries of the day, they arrived earlier than anticipated. The delivery drivers are instructed to check if any changes to the pre-agreed delivery time are convenient, and if not, they should have waited until the agreed time. We are sorry if this did not happen in this instance and we will address this with our delivery company. We appreciate your understanding and are pleased to hear you are happy with the product. Thank you for your 3-star rating. Please accept our apologies for any mix-up on our side and for any inconvenience caused. Best regards, Vufold

“Internal Bifold Doors were good however we waited 8 weeks for delivery as they were being shipped in from Indonesia. A few days later after delivery the doors then had a £100 discount which I found quite annoying. After asking to be reimbursed the difference they said by I would have to return the doors, get a refund and then re purchase the same doors again. To me that’s a very cheeky response after spending close to a thousand pounds on doors.”

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. While we are glad to hear that you are satisfied with your doors, we understand your disappointment about the sale that was launched after your purchase. It is common for companies to have promotions at various times, and unfortunately, it did not align with your order. We did offer you the option to repurchase the doors at the discounted price by canceling and returning your original order, but we apologize if this process did not meet your expectations. Thank you for providing us with your feedback, and please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance. Best regards Vufold.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you are happy with our ordering process and also the look of your doors. Sorry there was some damage to the packaging caused from our side when transporting from our production facility to our delivery company. As soon as we were made aware, additional packaging was added and we contacted you prior to delivery to inform you of this. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. Best regards Vufold

Hi Sam, Many thanks for your review. We have tested various types of packaging over the years and whilst the packaging is important, we believe it is the delivery and handling aspect of the doors which is the most important. We use a 2 man delivery service, one that we have used for many years and have full trust in. Whilst we believe we are a market leader in terms of the quality of products we supply, this industry is very price driven, so we have to find a balance of good protection/packaging but one that is also affordable for our customers. Thank you for sharing how good the communication has been. Best regards Vufold

“The doors seem ok but I ordered the wrong door but because it had been taken out of the packet, it couldn’t be returned even though it was completely in tact. Really poor service and not a chance I’d take ordering one again. A very costly slight mistake”

Hi Mr Richmond, Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear of your disappointment. Whilst we do try to be flexible, your order had been in your possession for 8 weeks before you notified us that you wanted to return your door. We operate a 14-day returns policy which runs in line with your consumer rights. As the door had been removed from its protective packaging and had also been delivered to you 8 weeks ago, we were concerned about how it had been stored and also how you were going to deliver this back to us without it getting damaged; therefore you are right in what you say and that we advised you we could not accept your return. We are sorry that on this occasion we did not meet your expectations. Best regards Vufold

“Poor quality bifold door”

We are sorry to hear this. Having located your order, we can see you did make contact with our aftercare team in April and reported a scratch to a frame section. As the scratch was not reported until 2 weeks after taking delivery and after the installation had also been completed, unfortunately it made it very difficult to establish where the issue occurred. We do advise to check all items for any missing or damaged parts and report any anomalies to us within a specific time frame, and before commencing the installation. We did offer advice on how to resolve the issue and we are sorry if this did not meet your expectations. You also reported that you were unhappy with the external facing door gasket arrangement due to them having a separate corner section. Whilst your feedback is very important to us and we are sorry that you were unhappy with this, the doors are fitted with this type of corner gasket as it creates a much better external weather seal. Once again we are sorry to hear of your disappointment and please do not hesitate to contact a member of the aftercare team should you require any further assistance. Kind regards Vufold

“ONLY BUY IF YOU CAN DEFINITELY CHECK PRODUCT ON DELIVERY Doors are great value - HOWEVER they were damaged. You only have 3 days to open all of the packaging to check / return. With a complete refurbishment going on these doors had to be stored (10 days) until fitted to avoid damage. There are so many reviews here saying the same. What good are damaged doors if the trades are already booked to fit? PLEASE VUFOLD - none of this would be a problem if the doors came in perfect condition.”

Dear Arvinderpal, Thank you for your review, we are pleased to hear you are happy with your Vufold doors. However, we are sorry that you feel you have experienced a quality of after service from us that fell below what you expected, we never like to see a customer feeling less than 100% happy, and as you can see from our high level of customer ratings, 98% of them would recommend Vufold to others. Having reviewed our records of communication with you, we are confident that we did all we could to assist you. As part of our customer care, we provided you with an image of your hardware pack that we had taken before dispatching your order, which evidenced the item you could not find was present when it left us; our intention being that it might help you to clearly identify the seal in case it had been misplaced or incorrectly fitted. We cannot recall any point where we suggested that you were wrong about anything and do feel sorry that you felt we had. We tried our best to work with you to determine where the missing item had got to, as we are very confident it was there when it was dispatched. We do try to work with our customers if ever they experience an issue of any sort and feel we did so in this case. We pride ourselves on our customer care and after sales service and did offer to send you a replacement for the misplaced item, but unfortunately you declined our offer. We do hope you are enjoying your new Vufold doors and that they give you many years of pleasure. Kind regards Vufold

Thank you for your review and thank you for ordering another door set from Vufold. Apologies to hear of the communication issue, our office was closed from 24th December 2019 and we reopened on 2nd January 2020. Our office opening times were displayed on our website and on a pre-recorded telephone message. We are pleased to hear you found your previous door set easy to install and we are sure you will find the second door set just as simple to fit. Many thanks, Vufold.

“My doors are fantastic but I had a massive problem with installation. The instructions specified the door Jams should have been routed out for the 5 locking plates but unfortunately they was not. I called to ask for advice and after several conversations and countless WhatsApp photos the adviser gave me two options take the doors apart and send the jams back and in a few weeks we will get new one’s back to you with the correct fabrications or to try and route them out your self. It took me three days to install the doors at approximately £400 labour charge so taking them apart was unfeasible not to mention my property would have been compromised for to long. The bottom line is I was basically told it’s your problem now. It cost me £150 to have a joiner do what should have been done by the factory. Like I said the quality of the doors are amazing but the lack of aftercare for a £4000 product is poor.”

Hi Paul, Thank you for your review. We are glad that you appreciate the quality of our doors but are sorry that you feel our aftercare service was not what you expected as a Vufold customer. In truth, we recognise that certain aspects of your experience fell well below our own high standards, for which we apologised to you in private and do so again here. We do feel that it is only fair that we address some of the points you make in your review, as we would not want anyone thinking that this is how Vufold treats its customers in normal circumstances. You ordered a set of doors that was coming to the end of its range life, which is one of the things that made this case unusual. Due to that range about to be discontinued we were able to offer the doors sets at a highly discounted rate, something we believe you were very happy about at the time. Unfortunately, the doors were despatched incorrectly, for which we held our hands up, took full responsibility for and apologised when you contacted us. However, we were not made aware of this fact until two months after we delivered the doors to you. Our terms and conditions clearly stipulate that customers should check all delivered goods on receipt and report any issues to us within 72 hours. If we had known earlier about the problem we would have despatched the required parts, as will always be the case if we are at fault. Unfortunately, as that particular range of doors had by then been discontinued and you had hung the doors, we could not offer you a replacement or rectify the problem immediately. It was at this point that we suggested that you cut out the lock keeps so that your property would at least be secured. You may recall that we also clearly stated that we would pay for any costs of damage done to the doors if you followed that advice; the original error being ours, we felt that was only fair. We did ask for several images of the doors to be sent, but that was to ensure that whatever advice we offered or replacements that were needed, would be the appropriate ones. We believe we did all we could at the time to assist you, even sending technical drawings for your joiner and repeating our offer to pay for any additional costs you incurred. As we did not hear from you after that, we assumed that you were happy with the advice given, the offer made, that the doors were satisfactorily installed, and your property was secured. Perhaps we could have called you to check and to remind you of our offer of recompense for the additional costs; that still stands if you would like to get in touch with us again. As we mentioned before, we apologise for the unusual errors that we made when your doors were despatched, but we honestly believe we did our utmost to assist you and resolve the problems in what were very unusual circumstances. We’d be more than happy to hear from you if there is anything else you would like to discuss. Kind regards

“The product, made to measure, is good quality certainly a lot better than what we could obtain locally. Delivery was somewhat protracted and later than advised but on the good side, we were kept reasonably well informed. We opted for natural wood, unpainted but we were not advised at the order stage that we needed to coat the wood three times before installation, so having arranged installation the day after delivery, the fitting had to be aborted. A few special screws short but they were sent next day delivery.”

Thank you for your review and please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. As with all orders, you should have received an automated email with a homeowners manual containing important information on finishing your doors and pre-installation advice. We are always looking for constant improvement and your feedback is very much appreciated. Kind regards Vufold.

“Excellent product, but poor communication and updates regarding delivery. Was also not delivered on the day agreed, even after I double checked it with the Office. Still waiting for a reason as to why we waisted a days holiday on the delivery date with no one letting us know they were not coming.”

We are pleased to hear you are happy with your Vufold doors however our pre-delivery communication should have been better. The error occurred because of a breakdown in communication between ourselves and our delivery company. This should not have happened and we are sorry that we did not keep you updated. This has been addressed internally to eliminate future errors.

“Fitted these bi folds before very nice doors but very disappointed that you wanted £25 for a door stop that used to come as standard. I was able to buy a stainless steel magnet stop for just £4.95 delivered, also had to pay an extra £10 to have matching handles! Why would you ever send them out with chrome handles! Crazy”

Thank you for your feedback. The door stops and magnetic catches are a recommended purchase however they are optional so we are not limiting customers choice should they wish to use a different type/style. Different handles are offered should customers have existing chrome/graphite handles on other doors they wish to match. Kind regards Martin

“Sales service was very good and attentive. The delivery unfortunately let us down and wasn't made on the agreed day. The delivery team didn't wait for me to inspect the delivery and were keen to go. Some of the supplied fixings broke upon installation and there was a lot of work to install them that should have been done in the workshop. Some instructions weren't clear. Hinge templates weren't positioned correctly on the doors. Screws for hinges are too close to the edge of the doors. Overall they looks a great product but aren't quick to install and could do with some improvements.”

“I am very happy with the product and easy to buy online option. My only gripe would be the site needs to be clear that pre-order now actually means not in stock. When I raised this via a telephone call the member of staff was rude and used statements "it's pretty obvious what pre-order means if you have a problem do you want a refund" Overall product is very good and would recommend just not so sure about the customer service.”

Thank you for taking the time to review your experience, we are disappointed to hear your mixed feedback as we pride ourselves on giving excellent customer service along with supplying quality products. In this case, the internal doors ordered were made available to ‘pre-order’ online, which means customers can secure stock off an upcoming consignment in the unfortunate event they have fallen out of stock. Apologies if this was not clear on our website and for your experience when querying this with us over the telephone. Action has been taken based on your feedback, and I only hope that should you need to contact us in the future you will see it is certainly not the norm. Many Thanks Amanda
