Machinery itself arrived in good order and as described. The loss of a star is because FedEx delivery was not efficient, did not arrive on the scheduled day.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Not a great expeience

Ordering was easy and pricing very favourable, however delivery was another thing - I only ordered a pair for chainsaw gloves but received one glove (not much use). In fairness they reacted quickly and sent out a second glove which is clearly something they had lying around (used) although it is from the same set.

Not very impressive and I won’t use them again (or recommend) which is a shame as I am a regular customer of Ron Smith & Co in Hereford (the same company) certainly the face to face service is markedly better than online.

Reply from Garden Machinery Direct

We're sorry only one glove was sent initially, Martin. We're concerned to hear the replacement appeared used, as our team have confirmed it was sent in new condition. If you could email us some photos of the glove, we'd be happy to investigate this further.
