Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your review, and I’m really sorry for the disappointment caused with your recent order.

I have attempted to contact you today to discuss this further but wasn’t able to get in touch, so I’ve sent you an email with more information.

I completely understand your frustration , the item was advertised, you placed the order knowing there would be a delay, and then you were later told it was no longer available. That’s not the experience we want for any of our customers.

If you’d like to talk this through, please feel free to reply to my email and I’ll be happy to help.

Kind regards,
David

Great service and delivery was fast

Great service and delivery was fast, next day as described. Catalogue pictures not always exactly matching the product (as in this case for adhesive mixing nozzles), but there are a large number of products in their catalogue, so expect some generic images.

Poor goods packing and worse customer service.

I ordered 4 filters for a welding helmet. 4 were delivered but one was broken because it had not been packed with suitable protection. I emailed customer service about it and, apart from the acknowledgement email, I never got a response. Terrible service.

Hi David,

Thank you for taking my call today.

I’m really sorry that one of the filters arrived broken and that it hadn’t been packed with the protection it needed. I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to receive damaged goods, especially when the packaging clearly wasn’t suitable.

I also want to apologise for the lack of response to your email. You should always receive a timely update, and I’m sorry this didn’t happen here.

I’ve now ordered the replacement item for you, and this will be sent out as soon as possible.

If there’s anything else you need, please let me know.

Kind regards,
Dave,
Customer Resolution Team.

Great product

We bought similar at the start of the heatwave from Screwfix & then couldn't get a second one anyone. I tried for a few weeks but with inflated prices. Yours is perfect, lovely in appearance, & a great price. Delivery very quick. So now ready for the next heatwave.

Hi Sally,

Thank you for taking my call today.

I’m really sorry that your items didn’t arrive as expected and having to wait ten days with no update. I completely understand how frustrating that has been.

I’ve now arranged the refund for you, and this will be processed shortly.

If there’s anything else you need, please feel free to let me know.

Kind regards,
