Blood tubes
Awful. Customer service non existent. Never received my order. Waited to supposed delivery date and nothing received, so I call, they said they would call me back, they never did! So I emailed and they just said logistical issues. Jokes. Avoid this company. I now have a client and no tubes, despite placing order weeks ago. Not a good experience at all.

We're really sorry to hear about your experience. We understand how frustrating it must have been not to receive your order on time and then not get the support you needed—especially when you were depending on it for your client.
This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we’re currently reviewing what went wrong in this instance. We’ve also taken steps internally to ensure better communication and faster resolution going forward.
We truly apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
I ordered the VACUETTE® Quickshield…
I ordered the VACUETTE® Quickshield Safety Tube Holders from Sterling Medical and was really impressed. The product is well-designed — the rotating safety shield makes it easy to use and adds an extra layer of protection without changing the usual technique. Ordering was simple, delivery was quick, and customer service was responsive. Great experience overall, will definitely use them again.

Great experience – would definitely recommend!
I’ve ordered from Sterling Medical a few times now and every time it’s been a smooth, hassle-free experience. The website is easy to use, the products are good quality, and delivery is always fast. What really stood out to me was their customer service – I had a quick question before placing my first order and they got back to me really quickly and were super helpful. Overall, I’ve been really happy with everything and will definitely keep ordering from them. It’s nice to find a company you can rely on!

Items not sent
Ordered some items on the 12 March, no notification to say the items have been shipped, estimated delivery date was last week and haven’t heard anything. Tried phone lines with no answer and emailing with no response. Unsure if the company is legitimate?

Dear Kerry,
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you’ve faced. After investigating your order, it appears that Royal Mail misplaced the package, which is why the tracking number did not update correctly.

We truly regret this experience and appreciate your patience. If there’s anything else we can do to assist you, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
