    Spoke to Kyle Newcombe today and he went above and beyond to help us. He checked that they had the item we required in stock. Guided us through the website ordering process and said he’d ensure we received the item quickly. We then received an email later in the day to say the item had been despatched! We couldn’t be happier with the service and Kyle’s warm, friendly, patient and supportive customer service.

    On web read that bath feet were…

    On web read that bath feet were compatible, so ordered them from TD. They actually are not suitable, never took out of box just measured connection top, closed bubble wrap that had tape. The box was posted to me with a post label from TD, asked to return they said to take pics so opened again and took pics. Sealed with exact same clear clean tape, put Royal Mail label on their postage label - they refused refunding because I caringly retaped the box just as they did and put post label (RM did actually) on theirs! So unethical and unkind. They do this to keep the sales money, clearly. Even if the item is in perfect condition, but simply wrongly advertised Burlington feet to fit on Appleby baths. I will NEVER buy from TD and highly discourage anyone to buy from TD as both a Senior Manager nor Hermione can admit their self made policy is against consumer protection rights. They are cheats and swindle customers with these absurd and tricky policies for returns. THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER BOUGHT FROM IN THE UK. Truly unkind and unreasonable return policy....they put a label on the box, it had clear tape exactly where mine was carefully and cleanly applied over it! They should have double boxed it when they sent it to me if they expect a return they furtively made tricky to double bag or box!!! Shame on Trading Depot.

    Poor Customer Service & Item Not Delivered

    I placed an order on 11 May 2026 for a Polypipe MDPE Pipe 25mm SDR11 12 Bar x 100m Coil Blue (25100BU).
    After hearing nothing regarding delivery, I contacted the company on 15 May and was advised that they were expecting stock to arrive on 20 May. I was told that once the item had been processed through their warehouse it would be passed to their courier for delivery.
    On 21 May, I received an email from DPD stating they were expecting the parcel from the company. However, on 22 May I received a further notification from DPD advising that delivery had been delayed due to an unexpected problem.
    Since 22 May I have repeatedly chased the company for an update. The only response I received was on 29 May, when they provided a DPD tracking number. Unfortunately, the tracking information still shows the parcel as delayed and there has been no evidence of any progress.
    I have contacted the company again on both 1 June and 2 June and have received no response whatsoever.
    The most frustrating aspect of this experience is not simply the delay itself, but the complete lack of communication and customer service. Delays can happen, but customers deserve honest updates and timely responses when problems arise. Instead, I have been left chasing information for weeks with little to no assistance.
    Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this company due to their poor communication, lack of customer support, and failure to provide clear information regarding my order.

    Good Morning

    Thank you for your review.

    Firstly, I would like to apologise for the delay and frustration caused with your order.

    Having reviewed the order, it was dispatched within the lead time advertised on our website. Unfortunately, after being handed over to DPD, it appears the consignment has been lost within their network. Whilst this is outside of our direct control, we fully appreciate that this does not lessen the inconvenience caused to you.

    As soon as we became aware that the parcel was not progressing through the courier's system, a replacement order was raised and is due to leave our warehouse today. Once dispatched, delivery is expected within the next 1–2 working days.

    We understand your comments regarding communication and agree that the experience has not been to the standard we aim to provide. Whilst we have been working with DPD to investigate the issue, we appreciate that more proactive updates from our side would have been beneficial.

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope the replacement delivery helps restore your confidence in our service.

    Kind Regards
    Adam Levy
    Sales Manager

    I ordered an awning

    I ordered an awning, delivery date confirmed a couple of days later DX Freight. The following day received a time slot for the delivery - day of delivery I get a text to say they’ve not received it!!! Phoned Trading Depot & was told it’s down for delivery tomorrow, no confirmation this time, no delivery. Phoned Trading Depot again (staff are helpful) delivery scheduled for 29.05, confirmation text received, time slot received, once again I’ve received another text - they’ve not received it so no delivery!!! Not happy

    Dont trust what it says on their website!

    Second time I have ordered something from these guys after their website says item in stock, only to be emailed a few days later with a message saying my order is delayed 2-3 weeks. They clearly just buy to order and are hoping it all works!!!! My job is now a week behind!!!

    Good Afternoon

    We're sorry to hear that your project was affected by a supplier delay.

    However, we would like to clarify that we do not operate on a "buy to order and hope it all works" basis. We hold substantial stock across thousands of product lines and also work directly with manufacturers and distributors to offer a wider range of products than would otherwise be possible.

    While we make every effort to ensure stock information is accurate, supplier stock levels can occasionally change unexpectedly between the time an order is placed and when it is processed. When this happens, we contact customers as soon as we are made aware of the issue and provide the updated lead time along with the available options.

    We fully appreciate how frustrating delays can be, particularly when they impact ongoing projects, and we apologise for the inconvenience caused. If you would like to contact me directly with your order number, I would be more than happy to investigate the delay, see whether there is any way to expedite the order, or discuss any suitable alternative products that may be available sooner.

    We understand your frustration, but supplier stock discrepancies can occur across the industry and are not the result of us intentionally advertising products as available when they are not.

    Kind regards,

    Adam Levy

    Unfortunately this company practices…

    Unfortunately this company practices unauthorised waste and dunping practices in order to avoid costs. As our delivery driver told us today when he refused to take the pallet he dumped on our doorstep. Impossible to get through to customer service once you have made a purchase too. Big yikes

    In response to their reply:

    Industry practice does not override UK consumer law. Your terms and conditions at checkout did not state that delivery involved abandoning a heavy commercial pallet on my private property, nor that the consumer is responsible for disposing of your shipping waste.

    Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, key delivery restrictions must be clearly presented before purchase to be legally binding. Leaving a bulky wooden pallet blocking a residential doorway, solely because your courier network wants to avoid return fees, constitutes unauthorized dumping of commercial waste and a safety hazard.

    My claims are entirely justified. Your defensive response here says it all and tells me everything I need to know about how you value your customers.

    I still expect you to arrange collection of your pallet or will proceed with private disposal and claim the costs back via my bank / MCOL.

    All the best

    Good Afternoon

    We're disappointed to read this review, as it does not accurately reflect the service provided.

    Your order was delivered on a pallet to ensure it arrived safely and without damage. Pallet deliveries are a standard method used throughout the industry for larger, heavier, or fragile products. The pallet forms part of the delivery packaging and is not considered "unauthorised waste" or "dumping".

    Drivers are contracted to deliver goods and are generally not authorised to collect pallets once a delivery has been completed, unless a specific pallet collection service has been arranged. This is standard practice across pallet networks.

    We also dispute the suggestion that customers cannot contact us after purchase. Our team is available by phone, email and live chat between 9:00am and 5:00pm, Monday to Friday, and we assist thousands of customers each year both before and after delivery.

    While we appreciate that you may have been unhappy that the pallet could not be removed, describing a standard pallet delivery as an unauthorised dumping practice is simply incorrect.

    Kind regards,

    Had an issue with the delivery

    Had an issue with the delivery. DHL could not find our address even though we have been in the same place for over 50 years. 3 attempts were made by them. Shocking. Alerted Trading Depot to let them know the bother we were having. Nathan sent out a new order to us and used DPD for delivery and we got it straight away.

    Excellent service and brilliant product. I am based in Northern Ireland so had to contact the store to get an updated shipping cost - Nathan was brilliant - kept me right on the process for delivery and couldn't have been more knowledgable and friendly. Item arrived days before expected and I am over the moon. Thanks
