Excellent wholesale supplier for good value kitchenware. It is very hard nowadays to find products like theirs where a reseller can still make a profit. Well done guys!

Buyers Beware....

Buyers Beware....
First and foremost I will ignore any reply from Down to Science as I have already had extensive email communication from this company and also spoken to them directly: they were RUDE to say the least and took the attitude: " well if you don't like it, tough, we will cancel your order ! ".
I placed an order, only to receive an email saying they could not fulfil part of my order as they had no stock,so basically advertising goods that they do not have to sell was the first issue.
Secondly I paid an extra fee for Next Day Delivery.
During communication with DTS it transpired that in order to get Next Day Delivery you have to place an order before 3pm: This is not mentioned whatsoever on their web-site - so as my order was placed at 3:17pm on a Thursday, I would not in fact get my "next day delivery" that I had extra paid for until the following Monday!
Finally, once I asked to cancel the order and requested a full refund I had to endure a lengthy ping pong email Battle with DTS as they made numerous "partial refunds" and then, astonishingly, expected to keep, and not refund the P & P chargers for an order that not even been dispatched, until I mentioned that I would contact Paypal regards this.

There is no excuse for such appalling Customer Service, selling goods that do not exist, charging extra for Next Day Delivery when in fact you have to wait 4 days for it to arrive, do not have transparency on thier web-site regards ordering timelines,and finally to treat customers with such contempt: shame on you DTS !!

Hi Catherine,

Please see below our email message to you to which we still have no response:

I have just read te review you left for us on Trustpilot and I am very sorry you feel that way. However, we never received the photos requested nor any other reply from you after your initial message. Attached is a screenshot of our conversation where you can see that we haven’t received any follow-up messages. I assume there has been some sort of error or misunderstanding. Had we received anything, we would have acted accordingly.

I can understand your disappointment with receiving a faulty product, but such things can happen beyond our control. These bathroom sets are of excellent quality and value for money and I can guarantee you that this was a rare exception. Could you please get back in touch with us by trying to resend those photos since you have already taken them? Let us sort out the issue and then please consider revising your review. We are a new and small company and our good reputation is all that we have. You will see that for yourself and hopefully reflect on it in your feedback so that other buyers will know what to expect.

We look forward to hearing from you.

My item was delivered quickly, well packed for transit and even better than described. Saying I'm very pleased with the entire experience doesn't quite go far enough towards describing my satisfaction. A few months on I still love my item and would not hesitate to buy again from DTS.

Attractive but with faults !

Attractive but with faults ! The set of kitchen items have a real look of quality and strength to them. A really lovely shade of mint green which complemented my new grey kitchen very well indeed. However, there were a couple of negative issues. The mug tree is a very poor design. Mine was actually badly dented on arrival, despite robust protective packaging. So it must have been damaged prior to packing. I contacted DTS but they wanted to blame the courier, which I thought very unfair. The mug tree itself is a very poor design. Six short straight arms which barely hold the average cup, let alone mugs. Being straight, the cups fall off, as there is little to prevent this happening. So NO stars for the mug holder! The kettle is a very attractive, sturdy item. Sadly, owing to the design of the handle, it frequently causes minor scalds from the rear of the kettle. So beware! A pity that otherwise excellent products / items do not appear to have been tested in daily use in a normal kitchen or surely these design faults would have been rectified before marketing the items? Sorry for appearing negative but this was a very expensive set ( £89.99 ) compared with other identical items on eBay and I would not recommend nor purchase again.

Hello! We can't thank you enough for writing such an extensive review. It gives us directions on areas we have to improve. We are really sorry that you were unhappy with some of the items. We have notified the manufacturer of your complaint for the mug tree holder design and it will be sent to an independent test centre on Monday to assess its capacity. Consecutively and if needed, changes will be made to the description of the already manufactured items and the design updated for future production.

With regards to the damage to the product, I can assure you that we carry out extensive checks to all items before they are packaged and any faulty or damaged items are returned directly to our suppliers. I would refer to your point regarding the packaging in support of the care we take to ship only items in immaculate condition to you. We have dealt with numerous courier companies and have been appalled by the way some of them have treated the parcels. Once we identify such an issue, we cut ties with those companies in our constant effort to provide a better customer service and experience.


There also seems to have been some misunderstanding, as we always address issues with damaged orders. It appears, we haven't heard from you since your report for the damage. Please do get in touch and we will arrange for a replacement or a refund for this item. We look forward to hearing from you again!

Bought a matching kitchen set (kettle

Bought a matching kitchen set (kettle, toaster etc) for £75 but there was an offer on for 30% off. I asked for this to be taken off retrospectively as I did not get a chance during check out to apply discount. I was refunded the discount of around £22 but then later had an email saying that the entire order has been cancelled. I then had a full refund. Good customer service but I am now without the kitchen set and do not have the 30% available.

Reply from Down To Science

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I am really sorry that a mere technical fault caused this issue. Your whole payment was blocked for us after we refunded the 30% pre-fulfilment. For this reason we had to cancel the whole order. We are currently working towards facilitating a much easier reordering to avoid any future dissatisfaction of our customers. We are emailing you a 30% discount code and a link to the products you wanted to buy in case you would like to reorder. Should there be any trouble locating the discount field, we will process the discount manually - the technical issue that appeared last time has been solved. Thanks again and all the best!
