Missing items or broken items favouritism with orders

2 orders one missing something 2nd broken items good company but inconstant sometimes order something and see someone else order a day or so later yet they receive order the following day or before myself for example who got to wait a couple days, company shouldn’t pick and choose whos order goes out first because they know them or there a reoccurring customers no time for favouritism

18.04.2026 still nothing received

18.04.2026 still nothing received. Customs needed answer from Importeur, they dont react. Time flies nobody cares. Very very very bad

Edit: I even called DHL EXPRESS to got told that customs trying to contact THB with no results and yet they try to make a statement I was not available??? Thats wild. I have proof from DHL that nobody reacted to their request from THB. They needed billing informations for sure your customer dont have.

Edit: my last call with DHL EXPRESS was on 10.04.2026 08:05 AM. They told me they needed informations from SENDER. Thats not me.

REPLY 27APR: We’ve checked the tracking on this and it shows the parcel was successfully delivered on 22nd April at 13:25, so it looks like this has now been completed.

That said, we want to properly understand what happened here, as we’ve had no contact from DHL or yourself regarding any information requests before this, only your messages via Trustpilot.

You mentioned DHL were trying to contact us for billing/import details, which is something we would normally receive and respond to quickly, so there may have been a breakdown somewhere.

Could you please forward over any proof or emails from DHL showing they attempted to contact us?

Also, if you believe you reached out to us directly, can you confirm:

Which email address you used
When you contacted us
How you contacted us

This will help us identify if anything has been missed or filtered so we can plug any gaps and prevent this happening again.

Appreciate your help with this, and glad to see the parcel has now landed.

— The Hydro Bros Team 👍


REPLY 21APR: Thanks for your review, we understand how frustrating delays like this can be.

For clarity, the order timeline

* Tuesday 1st April, 03:47 – Order placed
* Tuesday 1st April, 14:04 – Order dispatched the same day
* Tracking detail were sent to the email used at checkout (ending [24@gmail.com])
* Customs stage over multiple days – Parcel marked “on hold” several times, which usually means customs are trying to contact the recipient for information or payment of duties or taxes
* Friday 17th April – Customs clearance finally completed
* Monday 20th April – Delivery attempt made but was not able to be completed

We want to make this very clear, we have not received any emails or contact from you at all regarding this order. We have checked thoroughly and there is nothing on our system from the email address used at checkout.

Is the email you provided correct? We provided this email you gave us to DHL for them to contact you for any customs communication.

If you believe you did contact us, please let us know:

* Which email address you used
* When you contacted us
* How you contacted us

We will gladly investigate any gaps on our side.

For clarity, our correct contact email is info@thehydrobros.com. Please note the “the” as we often see messages missed due to this.

From the tracking, the delay occurred while the parcel was in customs, which is outside of our control and typically requires direct contact between the courier and the recipient.

If you have not heard from DHL, we recommend contacting them directly with your tracking number to rearrange delivery.

Please do reach out to us at info@thehydrobros.com and we will be more than happy to help get this resolved.

Top-drawer customer service

After a mistake by the company's suppliers, I spoke to a representative by phone. They owned the problem and rectified it immediately. I was extremely impressed by how effective this company's customer service is.

I'll add that both the original shipment and the replacement item arrived in less than 24 hours after ordering — amazing.

Great to hear everything landed well in the end, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share this about The Hydro Bros.

Mistakes can happen occasionally with suppliers, but it’s all about how quickly they’re dealt with, so we’re glad The Hydro Bros team could get that sorted for you straight away over the phone.

Also great to hear both deliveries arrived that quickly — fast dispatch and reliable next-day delivery is exactly what we aim for at The Hydro Bros.

If you ever need anything else, we’ve got you 👍

Great company

Great company, great range of products, great customer service.

They kept me in the loop regarding a preorder which got pushed back a few weeks (out of there control), which was delivered very quickly and discreetly once it arrived.

Top tier.

Nice one, really appreciate these reviews!

Preorders can shift when suppliers move dates, but we always make sure you’re kept in the loop, so glad that came through.

Once it landed, it was just a case of getting it straight out to you and keeping it discreet, exactly how we like to run things at The Hydro Bros.

Shout us if you need anything else 👍
