Perfect service - perfect products

Could not have asked for better service, I emailed them to ask a question and the reply came really quickly and was incredibly helpful!

The fish bowl I ordered is of a high quality!

Good service and price

I bought two condensation trays for my old 4ft tank. They fit really well (after trimming for filter wires leaving the tank etc) and are strong, not bendy like the thinner (cheaper) type. I feel I received good service from you, the items were extremely well wrapped and I am pleased with my purchase. I would not hesitate to buy from you again in the future and would recommend.

Quick and efficient acknowledgement of order and one item out of stock informed of this immediately by e-mail and then given choice of canclleation of order or to receive remaining items absolutely brilliant!!! Parcel arrived well packed and within expected timescales. Excellent service throughout transaction would definitely recommend.

David could not have been more helpful!

I was not really sure what part I needed to buy for my fishtank and David helped me through the ordering process to ensure that I purchased the right part. He was a star!! The part then arrived within 2 days of ordering and was exactly what I needed! Fantastic first class experience, thank you.

Post a note

After contact from David at aquatics on line and hearing the reason for the excessive post and packing charges and his assurances they will assess how they apply charges to very small items I am happy to upgrade my original rating from 2 to 4 stars

Disappointing

We'd looked all over for two 6ft bulbs for our marine tank and were delighted to find them on this website for so cheap! However, the following day or two we were contacted to say the remaining bulbs were broken and they would not be ordering anymore in. We got a full refund which was great but just a little disappointing because we could really have done with the bulbs!

Excellent service and good prices

This is the second time I have used the company, they have a decent website, very quick despatch and used a carrier that delivers efficiently to highland Scotland with no additional postage charges so I'm happy. They will get my next order without any doubt.

Still waiting...

I ordered two items, the first of which was dispatched in about a week, the other one still waiting. No communication to tell me of delays, probably won't use aquatics online again, despite their good list of stock.

Had a call from David at the company to explain the situation and apologise for the delay. Great customer service and personal touch - much appreciated.
