Hello, the ordered item will not be used because I made a mistake in interpreting the dimensions, either in mm instead of cm.

We are disappointed because we understood that the steel already had the rusty corten appearance. We had seen other sites where it was specified to rust (cheaper). But here there is no precision on this subject. Therefore, we cannot proceed with the installation immediately.

A complaint about your carrier the company GEODIS which subcontracted the delivery to a carrier whose driver left the package in an office on the ground floor while there was a person in the house upstairs, but the worst part is that he signed the delivery note himself (which is prohibited by law under penalty of prosecution). Hoping that this never happens again. Sincerely, Jean-Louis BONZI

There is nothing to say about the professionalism of the products, but the delivery was a disaster. The goods arrived incomplete after a month and have still not arrived to this day. Moreover, there was a way to contact the company responsible for the delivery. This was my first order and I still need goods, but unfortunately, I really think I will give up on the intention of continuing the collaboration.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are sincerely sorry for this inconvenience: this type of issue is really very rare and does not reflect our usual quality level. It is exceptional for the protective film to melt like this around the edges of the plates.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if needed, we remain at your disposal and hope to fully regain your trust with your next order.

I ordered a stainless steel plate (73 cm diameter) from the "John Steel" site, cost: €586.00. This plate is obviously non-conforming, with a central deformation formed by a 1.5 mm hollow that is perfectly visible on the photos I sent them. In spite of this, "John Steel" refused to take back the plate for exchange - here's their reply: "Your plate remains in conformity with the factory specifications. The deviation you have noted is minimal, and is within the norms." It would therefore appear that the obvious deformation, in the form of a bowl rendering the plate unusable, is a normal compliance for "John Steel"!!!! Which is, of course, totally unacceptable. Let's hear it!
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Hello,

We understand your disappointment and are sorry that the product did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to point out that the plate you ordered complies with the factory conformity standards defined in our General Sales Conditions, available on this page: https://www.john-steel.com/fr/content/3-conditions-generales-de-vente. As mentioned in our previous exchanges, the deviation of 1.5 mm remains within acceptable technical tolerances for this type of stainless steel product, as established by manufacturing standards. It is important to note that for this type of custom order, slight variations can sometimes occur and remain within accepted manufacturing tolerances.

We assure you that customer satisfaction is our priority, and we are always available to discuss possible solutions. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you would like more information, or to discuss how we can help you.

Yours faithfully
The John Steel team

The order went well, but I took 15mm steel, so don't expect a precise cut. Probably better with thinner steel, but now I'll have to cut all 216 holes again to get something clean. So I'm not very happy... (

The parcel conforms to my order and is very well packaged.... but TNT has made this experience very bad: TNT called me to tell me that they couldn't find my address (Amazon, Chronopost ... have no problem), and this without even going out...and they left the parcel with me in a shop more than 20 kms away (there and back). Having paid for home delivery, I find this way of treating customers deplorable! Change delivery company!

Response from John Steel
Hello Gilles,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that the parcel was as you ordered and that the packaging met your expectations. However, we are sorry to hear that the delivery did not live up to your expectations.

We fully understand your frustration with TNT's delivery service. It is unacceptable that you had to travel such a long distance to collect your parcel, especially after paying for home delivery. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We take your feedback on the services of our delivery partners very seriously. Please be assured that we will immediately report your experience to TNT to prevent this type of situation from recurring in the future.

Sincerely, John Steel.

No cutting, no squaring. Not precise up to 2mm difference. And disgusting cut not neat not clean. All this for an expensive price. For that price, you'd think you were getting impeccable quality.

Response from John Steel
Thank you for your comment.

Unfortunately, in times of high demand, carriers tend to simplify their deliveries.
To do this, they use point-relays for items that are scheduled for home delivery.

We try to prevent this, but our remedies are limited.

late with prompt payment
Translated reviews
Response from John Steel
Thank you for your comment.
D+3 is an option that prioritizes your order in production.
The aim is to produce within 3 days (24 hours on average).

Unfortunately, sometimes an order takes a long time to process and is dispatched after 3 days, with the transport involved, which gives the impression of a long lead time.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if your order takes a long time to process, so we can try to speed things up.

Impossible to show John Steel a cutting error, their site does not record the cuts made in the customer area. Part received does not correspond to my order, and the cut requested does not appear in my customer area, which is normal, as they confirmed over the phone. So... their word against mine. And a few hundred euros lost.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we invite you, and anyone else who may be concerned, to contact Customer Services with any questions you may have.
