Thanks for the lovely review. Great to hear you had such a good experience with the team, and it’s really nice to see Livvi get a mention for her help and support. Always good to know when someone’s gone the extra mile.

Appreciate you taking the time to share this, and glad to hear you’ll be using us again.

TERRIBLE communication phone lines and webchat!
The telephone lines kept cutting out, within about 20 seconds, and the webchat was non-existent. PLEASE look at sorting this Cutwell; apparently this is a 'known' problem. That said, the Customer Service colleagues were incredible and endlessly helpful, the website is intuitive and products are fantastic. I would happily give 5 stars if it wasn't for the technical communication problems.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this review. I can see why you were fed up at the time. Phone lines cutting out and a dead webchat would frustrate anyone, especially when you’re just trying to get a quick update.

It’s good to hear the customer service team were helpful once you got through, and that the website and products themselves hit the mark. I know the technical issues you mentioned were being worked on around then, so hopefully things have been smoother since.

Really appreciate you sharing the full picture.

Poor communication

Thank you for leaving the review. I can see why you were annoyed at the time. When the website says three days, you expect three days, not to be chasing nearly a week later only to find out it hadn’t even been ordered yet. That sort of delay with no clear update is really frustrating.

I know the team will have already dealt with this with you since, but your feedback still helps us tighten things up. Thanks for taking the time to share it.

Kind regards

Lathe tool SCLCR1616H09

Looked at this style for a while before purchasing. Price was very good as it was significantly reduced from RRP. Delivery from purchase also good. No nonsense with order/delivery/ price , looks like it will be a fine addition to my w/shop

Fast service but item was in envelope that was not properly sealed, so thought an item had fallen out. No it did not it had not been sent but was not clear on paperwork

Reply from Cutwel

Thanks for sharing this, I understand why that would’ve worried you. An unsealed envelope and unclear paperwork is never a great first impression, and it’s easy to assume something’s fallen out.

Glad to hear nothing was actually missing, and I know the team will have already helped clear things up since. Really appreciate you flagging it though, it helps us tighten things up for next time.

If anything like this happens again, we’ll always get it sorted quickly.

Thank you for the review, I completely understand how frustrating it is when an order ends up at the wrong address, especially when everything else went smoothly. Glad the website side of things worked well for you though.

I know the team will have already helped get this sorted since, but we really do appreciate you flagging it. If anything like this ever happens again, we’ll always get it put right quickly.

Thank you for letting us know, missing items are always frustrating, especially when the paperwork says they should’ve been there. Glad the team were able to get this sorted for you afterwards, but we really do appreciate you flagging it. If anything like this ever crops up again, we’ll always get it put right quickly.

Kind regards

Review on what!

Not received the parcel yet but you want a review, no tracking, I don't know if it's even been shipped out yet!

Reply from Cutwel

I completely understand why you’d be annoyed, being asked for a review before anything has even arrived is frustrating. You should at least have tracking or some sign it’s on the way.

Sorry you were left in the dark on this one. If you drop our team a message, we can always check the status and make sure it’s actually moving in future. Happy to chase it up for you anytime.

Ordered reamers over our current supplier as said in stock, a few days later we don't have them. It's down to the courier but very frustrating

Reply from Cutwel

Thank you for the feedback, I completely understand why you’d be frustrated. Even if the courier’s the one causing the hiccup, it still ends up being your problem, which isn’t ideal.

We’re sorry this one didn’t go as smoothly as it should have. If you ever need anything chasing up or swapping out, we’re always here to sort it quickly.
