Expect long delivery times and extremely bad AI customer service - it cannot be worse
I ordered goods worth almost €1,000 from this shop over two months ago. One of the items was marked as “limited stock” with an estimated delivery time of 1–2 weeks — and even after two months, the website still shows the same estimate.
At this point, I would strongly advise against trusting any delivery estimates from this company. Customer support has been completely unhelpful, and the overall experience has been one of the worst online shopping experiences I’ve ever had.
What made things even worse was the customer support itself. I contacted them three times and experienced what is probably the worst AI-based customer service implementation I have ever seen. Within two weeks, I received almost the exact same automated response twice:
“I have rechecked your order 169XX. Your order is currently being prepared in our warehouse and has not yet been handed over to Dachser for shipment. One of the items in your order – the powder-coated steel panels 600x1200 RAL 9005 – is still on backorder. Unfortunately, we do not currently have a new confirmed delivery date from our production/warehouse for this item.”
After six weeks, I explicitly asked for a real human response because the situation had become extremely frustrating. I finally seemed to receive a human reply, including a promise that the item would be back in stock on a specific date — but that promise was broken as well. Nearly two more weeks have passed without any communication from Mysteel.
At this stage, I can only recommend avoiding this shop. I sincerely hope this is just incompetence and not something worse (fraud). I initially trusted the mainly positive reviews, but my experience has been completely different. Based on other reviews mentioning ignored complaints, I am now considering legal advice.
This company is a perfect example of how not to use AI in customer support.
