This new Allen ratchet block may be the finest piece of sailing kit we have on the boat now. It works very effectively and actually feels different than other ratchets. Well built and great design... See more

Had many difficulties to purchase UK parts due to Brexit. Allen solved this through cooperation between Royal Mail and our country Postal company. VAT and Custom fees are all smoothly processed.

The product was received as advertised and on time.

I had to pay almost 20 € for customs taxes without previous notification. I believe Allen should have reported me about this tax before I buy them. I request to review the custom procedure because the tax is very high fot the items I have bought.

Quick service, the rules guide poster is always in great demand.

Reply from Allen Brothers (fittings) Ltd
I placed it at 12:40 and was completed by 16:21 and arrived the next day. I expected to wait a couple of days but the short order to dispatch time ensured this was not the case.

You had exactly what I needed and your delivery time to Canada was much better than delivery times from suppliers within Canada.

Reply from Allen Brothers (fittings) Ltd
Well, I had the rules poster years ago. Sure was great to see it available again!
Love the dog bones. Lol
The shipping updates were spot on, until USPS got involved. They were a bit sketchy.
The small cheeky snatch block is spectacular.

Update; a professional comeback
I was contacted today by the Head of Marketing with full confirmation of what was mentioned in the reply.
I appreciate the efforts and the apology. Mishaps can happen. I don’t think it will be too long before I place another order, after all they do make some very good products. I wouldn’t have been upset otherwise for the delay.
I thank the Marketing Chief for the reply and the emails.
I'm leaving the older text so the "comeback" is clear:
Very disappointed with the sales department, especially in regards to the shipping.
I ordered 2 20mm blocks and had them shipped to a relative in Sardinia where I knew I would be ten days after placing the order for five days. Having noticed the circa ten working day shipping time with Royal Mail, I chose FedEx at an extra cost almost doubled.
I noticed a couple of days later that my order had instead been shipped via Royal Mail, so I sent an email to their sales department from which I am still awaiting a reply. So not only was I charged double for fast shipping that I didn’t get, now I have to spend an extra 10€ to get it shipped to mainland Italy. Very unprofessional. I at least expect an apology and a refund for the difference.
Very very disappointed…
