Avoid at all cost

I ordered a single pick 4 days ago, paid an extra £10! for next day delivery and no show, no shipping or no reply to 2 different email contact forms 4 days later.

I advise to steer clear of this site, one of the worst I've used and definitely the worst customer service.

You did receive your product and we refunded your postage costs. Expecting next day service on Boxing Day is asking a bit much, when even Royal Mail don't guarantee it.

Absolutely they scammers

Absolutely they scammers, item purchased newer turn up, after chasing for my item, and they promise send it for next day delivery, never see my item, and after 23 days of order they ignore my emails, i wish I'll read feedback first at here before putting my order.

This seems very unlikely. We have a team of 6 customer service agents who work at different times so emails can be answered promptly. We have records going back years. Can you give me your order number or name and I'll look into this for you.

Early Black Friday rip off.

Early Black Friday rip off.
You sent me an email offering 20% off Dangerfield products. This interested me as I've been looking at the Lishi type tool for a while at £69.87. Today they are £83.84 with a 20% discount.
Not very honest and when you click the link your website is so slow it shows the previous price for about 1 second then jumps to higher price. Disappointing behaviour.

You would have needed to enter a coupon code to get the discount. The jump from £69.87 to £83.84 is the system adding the 20% VAT which we show on the product pages so as not to lure you to checkout on false pretenses. Had you then used the coupon code, the price including VAT would have been £69.87, which far from being a 'rip-off' seems like a pretty good deal. If you want to send me the email you received offering this deal, I'll be able to prove it to you. And if I can't I'll give you the pick for free.

I don't like to be suspicious, but having looked into some of the claims in the negative reviews, they don't seem to correlate with what actually happened. But there you go. Thank you for trusting your instinct, and taking the time to leave a great review. And remember we're always available if you need any lock picking advice.

I bought some so called bumper pad…

I bought some so called bumper pad thinking they were something special that you had developed and for that mistake it cost me £8.99 for two. When I received them all they were was rubber grommets which you can buy 150 pcs for £7.99 on Amazon and which works out as 5.3pence per piece. Even worse as a motor mechanic I have a box full which I have collected over the years

Reply from UK Bump Keys

Please can you link me to the Dampeners you can buy on Amazon for 7.99. We went through over 100 different types of washers and grommets, including different materials, dimensions, and combinations of different ones so as to be able to set them up to get the most success. Since I invented the Dampener technique, which is now the default method of bumping, I am confident the ones you're referring to are not necessarily the best for the job. And at 7.99, you then need to buy the two different sizes of white silicone Dampeners, which will be another 15 pounds, so if you want to spend nearly 23 pounds for hundreds of dampeners that might look the same but don't function in the same way, that is your choice. Best wishes with your bumping. If you want any advice, you know how to find us.

Very disappointing service and charges

Contacted this company to order some items which amounted to a little over 133.00, which included additional £3.99 for next day postage, unfortunately the items did not turn up. I contacted the owner regarding this shipment and the additional costings to me but they never returned my email. My items turned up in 2 day in a A3 envelope 1st class and was just dropped through my letter box. Very disappointed in the service l received and price of carriage.

There's not much we can do about the couriers being late. Do you know approximately 22000 deliveries go missing every day in the UK? A one star review seems a bit harsh considering your delivery was one day late. And I know that the A3 envelope would have had other bubble mailers inside to protect the items you purchased. If you wish to discuss this further, please contact me.

Unprofessional and a scam

I ordered the master switch tool on July 14th I paid a extra $10 to have it shipped priority and to be expedited in a timely manner. I've emailed said company twice just to get automated message saying I would soon receive a reply. No response! I finally received email 4 days later giving tracking number for my shipment, well that was just to placate me because the shipping company said in reference to that tracking number that they'd been notified by UK bump key that my order would be in route to them so as it seems you can just say you're going to ship something and they give you a tracking number ahead of time. It is now the 19th of July I've not received my package, no response to email. And my $30 has obviously been used for other things than my merchandise! I will wait 3 more days and I will file a dispute. To anyone even thinking of dealing with this company? Save yourself the stress and headaches and money!!

I had a look at this order, you made the purchase at 22:32 Thursday 14th. And the tracking said your item arrived on the 18th. Is this not what happened? I'd be happy to discuss this with you should you wish to email me.

Thank you Rob, I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a positive review on Trustpilot. Unfortunately it appear we've been hit by a selection of very suspicious negative reviews which I'm currently appealing. Anyway, you don't need to know that. Anyway, remember, we're always available if you need any lock picking advice. We have a team of very experienced lock pickers always happy to send you resources, links to relevant videos, or even a video chat if you think that would help. We don't abandon customers after purchase.

I can’t praise U K Bump key enough for sorting my order out.

I can’t praise U K Bump key enough for their excellent customer service. I ordered the Extended top of the key way tension wrench set which got lost in the post so I contacted their customer care and they sent another one out straight away. I will be using definitely be using them again!

Good service

Have used this firm a few times now, can’t fault their service or products.
Prompt action on order and delivery.
Delivery delay caused by Royal Mail not uk bumpkeys.

I have ordered many items from this…

I have ordered many items from this business I've never had a problem with the quality I have to give them credit for that but if you order next day delivery you will be charged for that and still wait a minimum of 3-5 days it says there return address is in Dartford but they must be shipping products from somewhere else because I live in London and it still takes 3-5 days for next day delivery god only knows how long it would take if it wasn't next day delivery I paid an extra 4-5 pounds and I'm still giving a bad service very unprofessional when you have customers waiting on you it may be a mail issue but the company is advertising it has next day delivery they could easily put a side note next to it but don't because all they care about is profit this is the last time I buy something from them.

I understand your frustration, but couriers are about 5 years behind the demands of eCommerce. If you wish to discuss this further, ping me an email and maybe we can sort out some compensation for the hassle you've experienced.

Avoid like the plaque

If I could give this company a zero rating I would, they don’t even warrant a 1 star. Despite contacting them (they do not advertise a telephone no.) via their online help desk, asking them about an item I purchase from them in December and not receiving they have not bothered to resolve the problem. I paid via PayPal and after speaking to PayPal they issued me an automatic refund as they have had MULTIPLE cases of people not receiving their orders. Terrible customer service from ukbumpkeys, a cowboy company that just want to take your money.

**EDIT AFTER UKBUMPKEYS RESPONSE 3 YEARS LATER AFTER THE EVENT**
As stated in your response at no point did you communicate with me regarding this hence why I have stated that I had no response, resulting in having no other option other than raising a dispute with PayPal to get my money back.
The lack of response from the company certainly does warrant the 1 star review and as such it still stands as exactly that.

Can you give me your email, name or order number, and I'll look into this. We have very few PayPal claims, so I'd be very interested to see what actually happened here and compensate you if appropriate. EDIT: I don't really know what else to say. Twenty-two thousand deliveries go missing in the UK every day, yours must have unfortunately been one of those. We maintained communication with you, then you made a PayPal claim and got a refund. I'm not sure that deserves a 1-star review. Best wishes.

Cheers Chris. We deal with so many orders, and the couriers aren't the most dedicated people in the world, that occasionally mistakes or delays will happen. But as you pointed out, we do our best to put things right promptly.

1st Class Customer Service

I don't write reviews but felt I had to on this occasion. My Kronos Pick stopped working and I contacted UK Bump Keys by email and within 5 minutes I got a reply from Gayle, whom I found to be professional, polite and efficient. From initial email to receiving my replacement Kronos Pick was 3 days. It was so refreshing to deal with a company with such 1st class custsomer service. Well done.

I was almost put off ordering from this…

I was almost put off ordering from this company due to the negative reviews here, so felt it only fair to report my positive experience. I've ordered twice from them in the past week, and both times the items have been dispatched next working day and arrived on time and as ordered. No problems here!

I really appreciate you leaving this review. I have just signed-up for a Trustpilot account as a lot of the negative reviews don't seem to correlate with what actually happened, which makes me think something fishy may be going on. Your experience shows that we're dedicated to customer service, we have a large team of customer service agents and a team of experienced lock pickers for technical questions. Thanks again for taking the time to write this great comment.
