FBK07asked

Have queried twice via the live chat portal but I still don’t quite understand. Why does it take 7-13 days once an item is shipped from a dispatch warehouse that is approximately 16km from me, to be delivered? Could you confirm (as confirmed by an online chat rep today) that goods are “shipped” from your warehouse and then transported and stored in a third party warehouse (ie. by Allied Express) before being actually shipped for delivery to your customers at a later date?



I’m just not understanding the delay between shipment/dispatch date and delivery date, especially since you state that it has been shipped. “Shipped”, for most other companies, means that an item has been collected and is being transported for delivery. I’ve received parcels from the UK in less time, and they were even able to provide me with an estimate date of delivery, not a 6 day window of possibilities.

Hello FBK07,

Thanks for getting in touch.

We are an online furniture retailer with all our items being shipped directly from different suppliers' warehouses. Standard deliveries usually take place 2-7 business days after your order/s leave its/their respective warehouse/s, with 10 business days at the latest if you're living in a rural area or the couriers unexpectedly experience some delays like inclement weather, road blockage, and the like.



Rest assured, however, that all these are just estimates and your order can still be delivered earlier than expected. Although their demanding schedules may not always allow for drivers to offer a detailed time frame, we always recommend saving the tracking link as this is the best tool to monitor the delivery status of an order and determine the anticipated delivery date.

Hope this helps! Should you have any further questions on a particular product please let us know, we’re here to assist. Feel free to drop us a message via our Help section.

Warm regards,
Louj

Suffering from a very sore back as I get older, waking up stiff and in pain, and can't afford those expensive mattresses they advertise as I have already made a very expensive mistake. Looking at your euro top mattress and the spring base as I have seen some good reviews. Answer me honestly, would these together give me the comfort and good support I need? Janet

Hello Electricbeige,

Thanks for getting in touch! I personally think a high-density memory foam mattress is the best mattress for back pain. This type of mattress is known for providing good support and excellent pressure relief. However, don't take our word for it! You may find mattresses with top ratings from verified customers by clicking on “sort by” drop-down menu on our mattresses page then selecting “customer rating”. This will change order of products, so that our top-rated mattresses appear. To then read a specific product’s reviews, click on the product listing, scroll down to “reviews” and click on the plus icon.

For any further questions, please feel free to utilise our LiveChat function. Just look for the chat bubbleheads situated at the bottom of most site pages. Alternatively, you can drop us a message via our Help section. Hope this helps!

Warm regards,
Louj

paulineasked

why doesn't your courier text to advise when they're approaching the delivery address???

1 answer
Temple & Webster
Adam M.Temple & Webster

Hi Pauline,

Their demanding schedules may not always allow for drivers to offer a detailed time frame. Hence, we always recommend nominating a delivery address that's most suitable during business hours or alternatively, provide an Authority To Leave instruction for the driver to leave goods on the property if it's safe to do so such as by the front door or carport etc. We also send dispatch emails with tracking links which will give you a more accurate grasp on the whereabouts of your delivery.

I hope this information has been helpful and if you require any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,
Louj

Is this a scam site?
No phone contact, no response to emails after days, no tracking responses, no product delivery after almost a week?

It seems a bit that way. I think their customer service is based overseas so it's all by email and you wait days for a reply. The replies are also very automated, same reply 3 times over, each time from a different representative. It's very painful to try and return something. I regret buying from this website. Once my rug situation is sorted out, I will never buy from this company again.

Moreover, to answer the question, we have several avenues for contact which are all available for assistance. You can reach us via our LiveChat support on our website, call us on 1300 900 675, or send us an email via our Help page: https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/help/faq.php

Need to separate marketing hype from facts within forums like these..
Facts: a) two support requests opened zero response in 2 days, this reality is clearly unacceptable..
b) wasted hours in overseas phone centers with zero progress only excuses as to why nothing is Temple & Websters problem, despite a commitment to delivery by the 27th Sept this is the 2nd of oct and your call center simply has excuses but refuses to take any responablity for its products or delivery.
c) live chat does not exist and most likely would go to same as call center ( my guess)..

Please understand the reality for your customers, as demonstrated with actual examples in this forum, and please address the systemic issues rather than simply "posting the same tired and canned responses"..
I suggest Temple & Webster listen to its customers and actually take responablity for the systemic failures identified herein.

I would also respectfully suggest one cease use of Allied Express for your shipments goods sitting in depots for over 4 days with zero action is unacceptable for any online store of any type, just a suggestion.

At this point no goods and approaching a week, online stores line Appliances online deliver next day and have a easy to use track system that just works, hence it is posable, but the realty is Temple & Websters is an abject failure.
The proof is in the eating not the marketing..
Hope some progress will happen soon..

I recieved an order today, an ivory Mason Hand-Tufted Wool Rug
QTY: 1

SKU: TPWT2823
I love it but it absolutely stinks and is smelling out the whole room. I've opened all windows and doors for the day. If its still smelling in a week can I return it . Its too heavy for me to drag outside and air it, also I live near a beach so it would end up with salt air thru it any suggestions.

Can I choose a time for delivery? As I work full time and live alone

1 answer
Temple & Webster
Adam M.Temple & Webster

Hello Bianca,

Thanks for the enquiry!

For reasons outside of Temple & Webster's control, unfortunately ​most carriers do not call prior to delivery, nor are we able to request a specific delivery date/time due to strict driver schedules. Drivers typically operate on weekdays during standard business hours.

In the event that no one is available to accept delivery at the nominated address, the driver will leave a calling card with the carrier contact details and any instructions allowing you to reschedule on a day that suits both parties.

Upon placing the order, you will also have an option to authorise the driver to leave goods unattended assuming it's safe to do so, for example by the front door or side of house, away from street view and protected from the weather.

If you require any further assistance, you can drop us a message via our Help section: https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/help/faq.php

Hope this helps!

Placing an order online is easy; kindly add the item to your cart, key in your postcode, and see the shipping costs. Once you're ready to finalise the order, just hit the Checkout option.

Adam M.Temple & Webster

Hello Lyn,

Thanks for your query.

Shipping costs actually vary depending on where the supplier's location is and how far it is from your area.

To know how much your shipping cost is, please add your desired items to cart, visit your cart, and enter your postcode. The shipping fees will appear immediately.

Please know that for large furniture, not all postcodes can be accommodated. Our White-Glove service, in instance, can only deliver to limited areas. We can, however, look into this and check if there's anything we can arrange for you.

Hello Vanessa,

Thanks for expessing interest to view our beautiful products.

As of the moment, we don't have imminent plans to open a pop-up shop in Brisbane yet. If you happen to visit Melbourne or have a relative there, you can direct them to visit our pop-up shop in Richmond. More details can be read here: https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/Showroom-C1954436.html

We understand seeing the actual product is different from viewing the online images, so if you proceed with the order, we have a Returns Policy to accommodate product returns that you feel are unsuitable for your home.

Our change-of-mind return policy can be read more in detail here: https://www.templeandwebster.com.au/customerservice/general_info.php#returns

Our shipping costs are calculated according to the combined weight, volume and distance travelled to have goods delivered by Australia's leading couriers. We are not the traditional furniture shop that houses all products in a single warehouse. Every order made is shipped directly from its respective supplier's warehouse.

Rest assured that if you have any particular shipping cost concerns, please feel free to contact our friendly customer support team via the website contact page for review.

I just chatted with your customer service about this and it was a total waste of time. Asked me all sorts of questions, got me to cut and paste all the items I wanted only to tell me what I already knew, there would be a wapping delivery charge for a bunch of lightweight items. Found a place that delivers most of the exact items free (jute and recycled plastic rugs which T&W added $20 Delivery per rug). They charge a little more for the rugs but still works out cheaper so I am going to go with them
