Definitely Recommend, great experience

I recently purchased from Allotment Essentials and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The package arrived very quickly, everything was carefully wrapped, and the order was exactly as described. The quality of all the items is excellent, looking professional and very high quality. Overall, a smooth and reliable purchase from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Allotment Essentials and will happily order from them again.

Poor not fit for purpose

Poor not fit for purpose? One handle which needs to twist round to extend the reach of the handle does not work. Trying to see if it will move with freeing oil or return it.

Stock control could be better

I ordered 10 re-usable grow bags. They only delivered 5 and could not give a delivery date for the balance, so had to give a refund. I did ask that they replace the plastic ones with the fabric ones for the balance, but this didn't happen.

Excellent service

Excellent service. My watering can was damaged in transit. I contacted AllotMate and immediately they dispatched a replacement and were very apologetic. Delighted with the watering can and will use them again.
