Poor communication in house and with customer. Poor attitude on delivery. Unauthorised access and no attempt to rearrange access when they failed to collect on agreed day.
Original booking for portaloo during bathroom renovation made through 0800 number. Delivery needed as property located on main road and hi ab necessary. Informed staff of disability and was assured all requirements could be met. Checked with branch the week before & learned booking wasn't for 9am delivery requested but 4pm pick up. Corrected that. Paid weekend before. On day no delivery by 9:30 so checked. Was told "leaving now, you'll be first". Chased again 11:15. Sending a guy out now. Arrived 12:30. Couldn't go where wanted, had to deal with staff who seemed mad at me for the failure of the person who did original booking. Had to move stack of items to create space where he said it could reach. Remember: permanently disabled.
End of renovation requested to be last pick up of day due to delays in plumbers finishing. Was asked if I was ok with next day collection. Said that's fine, less hassle for them. Have since been charged extra $12.40 without permission. No contact and portaloo left all weekend. Had back gate blocked with 4 fence posts to stop random drunks walking past at night from coming in and using it. No contact re: pick up. After recovering through bed rest it's been collected, someone has reached over the gate and shoved the posts over breaking a paling and also knocking a few pieces of gate loose at the same time. I don't hold them responsible for the one I'd done myself. I have photos of damage. My opinion: unauthorised entry to property, damage to property and charged extra because (best guess, since they didn't see fit to inform me) they were collecting after original date and temporarily forgot to take it off hire. Remember: the extra day was for their convenience, not mine!
Previously considered kennards a good company with good service. Never again. Congratulations, you made an extra 12.40 and lost a customer (and their family) permanently.
