The customer service here is appalling. I placed an order for two pairs of safety trainers on Friday night, expecting them by Wednesday. No tracking info was provided, so I had to chase it up myself... See more

Great and easy to order but then no communication at all. I saw a message flash re delivery but then it was gone before I could read it. I called PTD and spoke to a lady and asked if she could check... See more

Price was good, but when I ordered, I was told expected delivery would be the following Wednesday. I needed the product Thursday, so to be sure, I opted to pay extra for express delivery. Days went by... See more

COULDNT CARE LESS!

Ordered 4 Gardening tools advertised as in stock and 48 hours delivery at a cost of £17, after a week I enquired about my order and was told there was a delay on one item, another week later nothing, never sent out what they did have and zero communication.
I asked to be refunded, they are doing and their attitude is they really don’t care!!
I wouldn’t bother, they might advertise cheaper but service is atrocious.

Appalling

I would give zero stars if possible, paid £5.95 for “next day delivery on an item that cost £3.95. Still waiting for goods, 3 days later! Shocking customer service - no response to email or phone calls. Last time I use this company, and recommend others to take note of my unpleasant experience with this company.

I got my goods as described…eventually

I got my goods as described (eventually) . I ordered my goods on Sunday evening but did not receive until Saturday , I didn’t receive any confirmation or correspondence regarding the dispatch or receipt of my order and when I phoned on numerous occasions there was no reply , I also emailed for an update but got no response.

Good value, good quality.

I bought a good value, very strong, plastic rubble pan and hand rake, which I use mostly in the fields for horses 'poo picking'. I have had one for years, it has not broken, I just wanted to make sure I had another, in case they stopped making them!

Excellent customer service

When the package arrived the box had torn open and was empty except for the padding paper. I took some photos and sent them to the company. They investigated with the delivery company to try to understand what had happened but in the meantime they sent out replacement products which arrived without any problems. Excellent customer service.

Fast, reliable service

It was my first time buying from Power Tools Direct and definitely won’t be my last, i bought 3 Purdy scrapers and wasn’t disappointed as they was delivered so fast , it was a very easy transaction with no fuss whatsoever,
I highly recommend Power Tools Direct 👍

DO NOT USE

Delivery hasn't arrived, no communication at all. Tried calling, emailing, left messages and still nothing. Paid for express delivery and now cannot get in touch with them in any way. Poor service, will not use again

Your service was fine but DX not so

Your service was fine but DX not so. I moved my delivery to Wed 18th as I was away Mon and Tuesday am, they confirmed this on Sun 15th. They still delivered on Mon 16th and said they had left it with a neighbour. When I arrived home today it was just left outside my back door. Anyone could have taken it. Regards, Chris.

Poor communication

trying to enquire about stock levels, but their phone line is always disconnected and they do not reply to emails, seems like phising advertising competetive rates without being able to confirm availability answer phone calls ore reply to emails

Good prices, wide range, but quite slow despatch and delivery

I’m almost reticent to not give a higher review of PowerToolsDirect, as they do actually ‘do what they say on the tin’.

The prices are amongst the best I can find, and they stock a wide range of products.

The only reason I’m not able to give a 5* review, is they are frankly quite slow to despatch their items.

I know we live in a world of Amazon next day (or even same day) delivery, and for a smaller company like PTD to try and match that would be impossible. However, other small companies I deal with can still despatch within a day or two.

My latest order and previous order took several days from order to despatch (and then in the hands of delivery companies even longer of course).

So my review would probably be, excellent products, wide range, reasonable price, but sadly, slow despatch.

I queried my last order’s despatch date (having paid for the faster service) and although the reply was business like and not rude, the email was quite ‘curt’ and pointed me to the terms and conditions. Which again, I thought in the modern world of customer service, wasn’t the best experience.

So all in all, a happy customer, my order arrived, but it did keep me waiting quite a lot longer than I would have hoped.
