Poor communication. No delivery.

Unfortunately, I have had a bad experience with this company. They took my money, promised delivery within a certain timeframe. 10 days later, I still haven’t received delivery. I have tried to communicate with them but they keep sending me through to an emailing system rather than telephone - then they don’t respond to their emails. Be aware that they do not offer a telephone service. I’m now worried about the legitimacy of this company. To wait 10 days for parts that were understood have been delivered within three days - and then refuse to communicate with a customer - is not acceptable.

Hello James. We have now processed a full refund for your order. To clarify for other customers: you purchased a Lewmar part clearly marked as 'Back Order Only.' No 3-day delivery was promised; the site explicitly states lead times vary. Regarding communication, we received one enquiry from you on Saturday afternoon (March 14th) and have responded to your follow-up today (Thursday). We are a long-standing business and, as evidenced by your immediate refund, we do not 'take money' without providing service or a return. We wish you the best with your boat repairs.

Gorilla Extreme tape

I haven't tested the tape in wet weather yet so I don't know how effective it is. Took a long time to get delivered.

Reply from Chas Newens Marine

Dear Peter, We are sorry to have only received a 3 star review from you based purely on delivery time. Your order was received after our cut-off time on the afternoon of the 9th, it was processed on the 10th, our new stock delivery came in late on the 12th and it was despatched on the 13th. Unfortunately our couriers will not guarantee Saturday deliveries. Considering the low carriage charge, and the fact that you did not note on the order that the goods were required urgently, or contact us about the order in the interim, we are surprised by your disappointment. Nevertheless, we hope you like the product, and should you re-order, if you need something urgently do ring or email us first to check how quickly we can get it to you, or put a note on the order, or select premium delivery at check-out and we will do our best to get it to you next day, or advise you otherwise. Kind regards Sales Team

Amazing pocket size rigging tool handy to keep with me in case I need it for rope jobs on my land or on the boat. Price from chas newens marine was a few £’s cheaper than anywhere else, delivery was very quick and staff were lovely. Would definitely use them again and fully recommend.

Super After-Sales Service.

Tried submitting this review but don’t think it went through. Don’t want to miss reviewing excellent after sales service. Having purchased a folding ladder for my camper from Chas Newens Marine, I noticed no brackets for hook attachments. Phoned the company and spoke to Jakki. She contacted supplier and found out not only were brackets not supposed to be included but found out advertised items were discontinued. She sourced replacement items and ordered them for me. Gave me a little discount and free postage for my trouble. Super After Sales Service.

I had a fantastic experience with Chas…

I had a fantastic experience with Chas Newens Marine in Putney. I initially called to ask about delivery costs for a launching trolley, and the level of customer service that followed was genuinely above and beyond.

The manager took the time to call me back and talk through options, including suggesting collection from their site. She then went out of her way to find an even more convenient solution that significantly reduced our travel time. She made sure the arrangement worked for us, helped us load the trolley when we arrived, and even checked in by message the next day to make sure we’d got home safely.

It’s rare to find such thoughtful, proactive, and genuinely caring customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chas Newens Marine to anyone — a brilliant example of putting customers first.

Best Price on Web

Best Price on Web, used this kit before - Neoprene if you are looking for UV resistance & not clearing oily water. It will last 3 times longer than Nitrile.

Chas Newens delivery was very quick!
