Order system and delivery excellent. Assembly easy enough. Able to reverse it off the transporting stand with the help of a simple ramp and blocks under the stand. Still wondering how you advise it... See more

Bought a Lawnmower from Mow Direct

Bought a Lawnmower from Mow Direct, delighted with the functionallity, performance and price. So saying, my experience was let down by their delivery company who left the mower concealed just inside my front gate (pedestrian access only, rarely used) and did not bother to come to the house or leave a card through the letter box to tell me it had arrived, so many hours later I discovered they had claimed to have delivered, via the tracking site. Also the bottle of oil had been placed in the package upside down and had leaked, so with oil and heavy rain during the day not a good start.
Having aired the downsides, the telephone sales person I dealt with was on the ball and able to advise on the machine I required and answer all my questions. Capitools operatives were also very efficient when I queried what I thought was my missing delivery.
This is only day one but looking forward to this being a realiable machine for the foreseeable furture!

Dear Peter, We're every sorry to hear this. We have looked into our comments in great details. We have found that your order was sent on 1st Sep on a next day delivery service to meet out 1-3 days delivery estimate. ( please note it as bank holiday on 30th Aug) Unfortunately it seems this was further delayed by the courrier. I am very sorry about this, a lot of courriers are experiencing delays at the moment due to Covid and Brexit related issues. You should have been kept informed at every point.
I have checked our communication history and can see we sent emails to advise you tracking, order confirmation, and shipping details. I am very sorry it seems you did see these, occasionally our emails can go into junk folders. I can however see there is a note with the courrier, that they spoke to you to arrange a suitable delivery date.

I am very sorry you feel let down by the service, I do however hope you will enjoy the Feider Sweeper this is great machine. If you need any assistance we will be very happy to help.

Kind regards Capitools UK

Capitools are great & vfm

Haven’t used mower enough yet to review it, but Capitools were great…., other than the lack of information available from the courier.
Could be a little more specific on day & time. Monday said it was overnight service, so had to get someone to house sit on Tuesday as I had appointments but mower didn’t turn up until next day.
When it did turn up I got a call from the driver to say he was 5 minutes away which was good. And he carried it into the house for me
And don’t try to use the “live” chat on the DX delivery website. It throws out automated messages, so not live at all.

Very disappointed

Very disappointed, before buying on line I rang for information on the item I wanted to buy, after buying it on line I get an email telling me it’s out of stock, nothing on the website said this nor did the person I spoke with!

Pleased with the speed of service however

Pleased with the speed of service. However i ordered 2 body only tools as part of a deal and only received 1 of the tools (the one that was just a bonus at the deal price) now have to wait for the tool i actually need to be delivered.. also they used dx delivery who just left the parcel on a deck chair with no email text message or even a note through the door to say it was there. Was outside all night in the rain as i didnt know it was there.. luckily it was wraped in black shrink wrap..

So far I am far from satisfied with your service. I have already emailed your customer service. Firstly, the parcel was dumped on my doorstep in a broken box. When I got it into my garage, the top plastic casing was cracked. I had also ordered the optional oil, which was not included in the parcel.
