Scumbags

I bought some socket rails and they sent the wrong ones, that's no big deal but when they asked for proof and i sent photos they stopped responding and never heard from them again. Scum

BUY 2 GET 1 DAMAGED

Save your money folks this lot is a pack of pirates I have spent £2200 on delivering and 2 boxes and I have BOTH with several pieces of damage but they offered to send me a new plug and £50 off because they sent me 2 boxes to Scotland (£200 each but the lady on the phone claimed they could both go together to save shipping) - now though they claim they ‘done me a discount’ and won’t send me a replacement they will ONLY send to collect the box and a REFUND they will not sell me a SECOND box ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️

Order never sent

Seems like a scam. They claim they sent the order, yet DHL claims they never received it. I tried contacting them through their online form and email, and did not get a reply.

I managed to reach them by calling, and then they claimed it's a problem with DHL, that they'll sort it out, and call me back. The order status haven't changed, and I haven't heard from them.

Seems strange to scam customers out of ~30€, but that seems to be the case.

Order Failed to arrive.

Order Failed to arrive.
Please Folks BEWARE: I ordered two drums of Adblue on June 5th for next day delivery.... Called them on the
6th June at 3.30 pm to check it was still coming to be told it as been damaged, okay i understand things happen was told it should arrive on the 7th, it did not.
I rang on Monday 9th and was informed the Delivery company reported issues in my area ? it would arrive next day, I rang yesterday to again check and was told again the package was damaged and someone would get back to me, they did not. Today the 11th I again rang only to be told they will issue a refund ! so wasted the best part of a week.
Its a shame because they do have some very good products at a fair price but if they don't deliver them its all a waste of time.

Neilsen CT0167 Fork does the business

I chose a Neilsen CT0167 Stainless Steel Digging Fork as a replacement for a Draper fork 88791 that had broken on the very first outing. Give them their due Toolshouse replaced this fork with a Neilsen CT0167 Stainless Steel Digging Fork very promptly.
At a similar price my first impressions are that the Neilsen is an excellent budget 4 prong digging fork, Comfortable in the hands and strong enough to dig some very compacted soil on my vegetable patch without any strain to the tool.
Highly recommended.

We have refunded this order the reason for the late shipping was that the items had gone out of stock on the same day you ordered and our supplier said they would be back in before the weekend so we held the order in the hopes they would be in soon and we would credit your delivery. Today you have called us and we managed to rectify this issue. We can assure you we are not scammers and have a client base of over 50,000 people who would also say otherwise.

AVOID , NEVER AGAIN !

AVOID Never again !
They state next day delivery DPD Mon-Sat this is completely dishonest. Contacting customer service is a waste of time as they take days to get back to you and then fail to give you the information you have asked for. They have informed me of delivery today but I have a DPD account and they have no information regarding this delivery. They are clearly using DPD as a selling point and then using a different delivery company. Shockingly bad company, AVOID

Would you be able to provide us with an order number? We do ship all of our parcels with dpd, excluding pallet products, and we will be able to get this sorted out for you.

Rubbish tools

Rubbish tools
I bought a Neilson timing belt locking kit to change the timing belt on my VW TDI.

The tool was so badly made it would not locate on the crank sprocket - this wasted hours of my time trying to work out what was wrong. Eventually I bought a different branded tool - it fitted perfectly.

I appreciate these are cheap tools for one off/DIY use but if they don't physically work they are a complete waste of time and money.

Terrible magnets

First of all. I am a professional Painter with almost 20 years in the business.
I came across cut can brush holders and was immediately impressed.
Trying to track them down has been a slippery slope with quality. The ones I use I bought through Lee Valley and they no longer carry them. Terrific product until they died.
These have potential however the magnet is totally useless making this product useless unless you glue in new magnets.
The price to ship back is as much as the shitty product so I am stuck with these turds until I sort out better magnets.
Save your money.

Hello Alfie, We apologise for the inconvenience. DPD have come back saying they lost our parcel at the depot. We have resolved this by sending out a new one yesterday, where you would of received a tracking number which showcases this item will be delivered to your shipping address today.
