Product was exactly what I was looking for at a good price. Paid a premium for postage but item was delivered miles away for collection

On the plus side they supplied me with two obscure parts that I couldn't find elsewhere, cost £4.05. These could easily have been sent in a Jiffy bag. However, the minimum delivery charge is £5.94 and the parts arrived in large box complete with a heavy catalogue that I had not requested and which went straight into the recycling, so this is clearly what the delivery charge is for! I would use them again as a last resort, but otherwise one of the more mainstream online suppliers is likely to be a better bet.

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad that you were able to source two obscure products from us. We pride ourselves on a wide and varied range of stock. Please note that all deliveries are FREE over £40. We use couriers with a tracking facility (just in case) hence the delivery charge for less than £40. We use cardboard boxes to protect items during transit. Regards, BES

I thought the postage for the item I purchased was was extortionate for what it weighed. I just posted a suit of clothes weighing 2kg to day for £4.95.

No instructions with the pressure meters. Only instructions with the water flow pot . . . .. the water flow pot is a bit gimmicky. Just as good to time how long it takes to fill a know container size and work out L/min. Aerators on tap ends need to be removed or a false high reading is obtained. . .not so when filling a container . . . . some aerators can't be removed. One meter, when connected, leaked from a joint that can't be tightened when used. See picture. Perhaps it was suppose to do that to allow air to escape .. .either way, no instructions with the meters.

Goods delivered in a timely manner, however unfortunately conduit was slightly dented and ceiling rose had a crack in it - not really worth kicking up a fuss about but courier / packaging could be a little more thoughtful.

Your website works well for the purchase of a product, but becomes unstuck when it comes to the payment for the article and freight. For an overseas customer, this is frustrating, and would have lead to the cancellation of the order had you not followed up with an email advising how the payment could be made. You are not the only UK business that has this problem. If you could make the purchase and payment a smooth process, it would attract more buyers. Your follow up service has been very good.

Quick response and delivery by the courier to a drop-off point. It would have been easier for me if delivery had been by Royal Mail: would.ve saved a ferry tgrip to the mainland to collect.

Thank you for your feedback Mr Relf. At BES we always aim for a 5 star review and so to get a 3 star was disappointing. We are pleased that your delivery to a Scottish island was quick. However, please note that it is company policy to deliver via courier so that we can track deliveries. Also please note that parcels can be delivered to home/site addresses as well as to collection points. Thank you once again. Regards, BES

Quick delivery good price but hinge was missing off gas box door. Pity as had to then get a door locally so should have got the whole box locally in the first place & saved messing about & my time. So lost the money I saved.

Goods (2 metal bolts) arrived in a box big enough to take a telephone directory!!! An unwanted catalogue was include which probably explains the excessive postal charge of £4. These could have been sent in an enveloppe for half the price!!

The item was as described and having looked in many other places, I was relieved to finally find a part which fit. Having said that, I paid for Saturday delivery and spend a day waiting in for a shipment which never came. The carrier works on US time so their website is 5 hours out of sync with the UK. The parcel never arrived on Saturday. It was then delivered on Monday, despite the website stating Tuesday, and after a single attempt was taken to a local shop instead. When I picked it up it actually had a label for Saturday delivery. So - massively let down by the carrier and I guess I now know what the initials UPS stand for.
