Disappointed

I was disappointed as I ordered 2 off 2.65mm drills but I received 2 off 2.6mm drills, as measured with a micrometer. Furthermore the package was grossly oversized for the product.

Reply from Cutwel

Thank you for the review. I’m really sorry for both the incorrect drill sizes and the oversized packaging, we appreciate you taking the time to let us know.

Regarding the packaging, we had unfortunately completely run out of our smaller jiffy bags on the day your order was due to be dispatched. Rather than delay your delivery, the team used the next available size so the order could still leave the same day. We understand this wasn’t ideal and apologise for the inconvenience.

As for the drills, we’re very sorry you received 2.6 mm instead of 2.65 mm. We’d be happy to either credit the cost back to you or arrange replacements to be sent out free of charge. If you’d prefer replacements, we’ll have them checked by one of our technical team before dispatch, as your feedback may have uncovered a labelling error that we want to investigate.

Kind Regards

Easy ordering and great delivery…

Easy ordering and great delivery service. The Web shop description of parts could be more detailed as I sometimes find it lacking but normally this can be fixed with a phone call

Why the difference?

Why the difference?
I was able to buy 10 inserts from China for £13, you charged £20 for 2 inserts.
Were yours better quality, I can’t say at the moment as I’ve not used them yet. Was your delivery time shorter, it took almost a week for them to arrive, the ones from China arrive just three days latter (includes a weekend) So why the difference?
I’ve now had chance to compare the performance of the inserts and can honestly say the inserts from Cutwel are superior, the quality of the cut and lower wear rate is quite noticeable, You pay for quality.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate you raising this and understand why the price difference caught your attention. Our inserts are sourced through our tried & trusted manufacturers Korloy, and supplied to us with full quality assurance, traceability and technical support, which does mean the cost can be higher than unbranded imports.

I am sorry to hear the delivery took longer than expected, that’s not the experience we aim to provide.
If you have any issues once you’ve had chance to use the inserts, please let us know and we’ll be happy to help.

Edit-Thank you for your updating your review and your new comments regarding the performance, I'm so happy you noticed a difference with the wear time, please don't hesitate to contact us if there is anything we can help you with in the future.

Kind Regards

Next Day Delivery

Product I received is what I needed, but I ordered on a Friday and made sure to call Cutwel prior to ordering to check that if I ordered for next day delivery it would come on Saturday. They agreed that if ordered with next day delivery it would come Saturday, I did not receive until Tuesday which hindered my plans.

Thank you for the review. I’m so sorry to hear your delivery didn’t arrive on the Saturday as promised, especially after you took the time to call ahead and check.
We appreciate you letting us know what happened, and we understand how frustrating it must have been when it didn’t turn up until Tuesday and disrupted your plans.
We’ll pass this on internally so the team can look into why the Saturday service wasn’t met and make sure expectations are set correctly in future.

Thank you for the review. We appreciate you letting us know this has happened twice in such a short space of time, and we understand how frustrating it is when the website shows stock but the delivery ends up short or delayed. Your feedback is noted, and we’ll be looking at this to make sure the information shown online is clearer and more reliable.
