Only allowed to select a drop off, not home delivery. BES addressed the package to drop-off location and NOT ME - so of course the business it was sent to opened it, and even the packing slip inside made no mention of me. That could expose them unfairly to claims of tampering with mail/theft from mail. I've written and complained to BES - NO RESPONSE.

Dear Mr Calvert, Thank you for your feedback. BES were very surprised to read your comments as we have successfully delivered thousands of products around the UK (and globally). Of course 'Home Delivery' is an option for our customers. We will investigate but suspect it is human error when you placed your order. Regards, BES

Online order did not allow a home or business address for delivery but instead insisted on a collection shop/business. My selected pickup was a petrol station near me. The address on the package was to the business at that location, with no mention of my name or address. On receipt they naturally opened it - it was addressed to them! Inside, the delivery slip again made NO mention of my name or address. I find this totally unacceptable - it places the collection business at risk of being accused unfairly of tampering with deliveries, plus puts me to considerable trouble asking them to find a package that isn't even addressed to me. Despite ordering a small fitting, BES included a brochure that weighed about 10x more than the item I ordered - so also requiring a massive package for a tiny 2" long fitting - This was an online order - what possible use would I have for a paper brochure?? What a ridiculous waste of resource.

Dear Sir, Thank you for your feedback, however, we were very surprised to read it as we have successfully delivered thousands of products globally but predominantly the UK. Of course 'Home Delivery' is an option for our customers. We will investigate but suspect it is human error when you placed your order. Please note we ask customers at the point of order if they require a BES catalogue. Regards, BES

ordered water mains pressure test kit on line, booked delivery, got a call on the day i was expecting delivery to say it wasn't available anymore, but that was ok as i would be re-credited. i explained i would need an e-mail to confirm this as i paid for it on a company credit card,. i was told they don't provide that service. i explained that i needed it to back up the invoice i had already put through the company, I was then informed they would e-mail me to confirm the cancellation. just looked on line, and it's still available to purchase from them!

Dear Julian, Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that your experience fell short of our usual high standard. We are glad that you received your email confirming cancellation. Rest assured that the kit currently has an 'out of stock' message when trying to order online. We apologise that this did not happen in your instance. Regards, BES

I spoke to their "technical" guy. Quite frankly he lied to me about the dimensions of the product (he either couldn't be bothered to look it up or knew it wouldn't fit and hoped I wouldn't be bothered to return it). When it arrived it was obvious it wouldn't fit. I sent an email explaining this. Whilst they did arrange to pick it up they never apologised nor did they ever discuss refunding me, so I will have to wait for my card statement to see if that happened. I got the product I needed far more easily from an alternative supplier.

Hi Steven, Thank you for feedback. Apologies for any confusion. We would never lie to customers. All the dimensions of the meter box you purchased are clearly stated on our website and in our catalogue. Of course a full refund has been issued and a member of our sales team has called you to advise of this. Regards, BES

Possibly the most incompetent service I've ever had the misfortune to encounter. Placed an order for next day delivery with specific instructions of where to leave item. Item wasn't left, neither was a card. Contacted BES, they apologised and informed me that delivery would be the following day. Took day off work as needed the materials for weekend works. Contacted BES in the afternoon in order to chase up delivery. Was informed that goods were in Northampton should I wish to pick them up ( 130 mile round trip ). Because the fault lay between them and the courier they informed me that they would have the goods couriered to me and should expect them around 7pm that evening. Received a call at 4.30pm informing me that they had changed their minds and were now not going to send them leaving it too late for me to source materials from elsewhere. Whole episode cost me nearly £2,000 in loss of wages and accommodation charges.

Dear Mr Hamill, Thank you for your feedback. BES can only apologise for the service levels you received. These levels fell way below our usual high standard. As you know BES were badly let down by its courier on this occasion. Rest assured we have escalated the points you raise at a senior level with our courier to investigate. Once again we are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. Regards, BES

Ordered a part needed urgently for the weekend, paid for Saturday delivery and it didn’t turn up. The tracking said it was on its way and we continued with the program of works. The tracking reset on Monday morning for delivery on the Tuesday. This may have been the Carriers fault however BES chose to use this carrier.

Paid £4 to get it delivered on a Saturday. Planned the job in with my customer for the Monday. Received a text to say it would be delivered Saturday. Waited in all day. Found a card on Monday afternoon saying they tried to deliver although I left instructions to put the parcel in the back garden. Unhappy customer. Product was fine though.
