“Delivered promptly but I ordered the wrong item so followed their instructions for a return and have been ignored after 3 seperate attempts to email them. Will try calling now but think they need to make sure their own instructions are either correct or followed at their end!!!”

“In spite of paying for next day delivery it was late and at some point before delivery it got damaged and return to couriers depot. 1 week later, still no goods, no refund and no communication apart from what I’ve initiated. Pretty shoddy customer service to be honest.”

Hi Russ Brinkman, thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry that your order was damaged in transit and for the subsequent delay dealing with your complaint. Your experience falls well short of our usual high standards. We see that a member of our team has telephoned you and has refunded the pre10.30 delivery charge. Apologies once again. BES

“I am still waiting for one item from a previous order and have had no info on when it's due so I emailed you to enquire as to it's whereabouts and have received no reply to that email. On top of that, your courier who had my order for friday 21st delivery couldn't be bothered to deliver it. As it was down for 16.00 -17.00 I assume he decided to go home early, this meant I had to cancel Saturdays job. All in all your service so far is very poor, im surprised I gave two stars. I'll be even more surprised if this review gets actioned on.”

Hi Martin Lewis, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that our service on this occasion falls short of our usual high standards. Following investigation we can see that your order was a failed attempt by the courier on 21st November at 18.07hrs. They delivered successfully on the 24th, albeit not in a safe place as per instructions (we can only apologise) Regarding your oil filter and valve, this is on back order. Our supplier has advised that stock will be available in early January, which is much later than we were advised originally. Apologies once again. BES

Thank you for your feedback Graham Lee. We are pleased that you use us and can't fault our products and service. Sadly the courier has let us down on this occasion (thankfully rare) Of course we raise instances like this when we meet our courier team, to discuss their performance and service delivery metrics. Apologies once again. BES

“I ordered a TPI printer on 04/10/25 I hadn’t received it and emailed on 08/10/25 and was informed the order had been cancelled. And to expect a refund within 3-5 days ( fair enough these things happen) I have since emailed a further 3 times regarding the refund and I haven’t had a response to any of the emails. I find this lack of communication to be a bit concerning as I am waiting on the refund so I can purchase the newer printer from elsewhere. Again the lack of communication is really frustrating”

Hi Martin McGuinness, we are really sorry for the delay you have experienced re. refund as it is much longer than normal and falls short of our usual high standard of customer service. Please note that your refund was processed on the 28th October (please allow a couple of days for your bank to clear funds) Apologies. BES

“I want to stress this is how I feel about my experience and acknowledge that had I ordered all the components I needed, then I wouldn't have had an issue. However, I've given 2 stars because of the inflexibility demonstrated when I asked for help after the items had been delivered and I realised I needed another component to fit the pieces together. Yes, this was 100% my fault but I felt there was an opportunity to help me out. When I emailed to ask if they would waive the delivery fee for the small and lightweight pieces I didn't order, I received no reply. When I called, the agent immediately said I'd have to pay the delivery again. I could be wrong but I didn't feel he tried to find a way to help. Maybe it's designed for tradespeople (who know what is needed and wouldn't make my mistake) but I felt let down as a lay person. I'll not make another purchase from BES given this experience”

Good afternoon, I deeply apologize for how you feel regarding your ordering experience with us. We have an on site technical department for all technical queries; they are on hand 9-5pm each work day to assist with such queries. Unfortunately a delivery fee would be charged for every order under £50. In the future if you ever need help you can call our technical department on 0121 322 6400 and press option 3 for product enquiries; or make a technical request here - https://www.bes.co.uk/technical-request/ Kind Regards, BES Ltd.

“I purchased a printer for my flue gas analyser my order was cancelled due to not being in stock and no longer available.I never received any notification regarding this cancellation and had to follow up with an email to check the status of my order it was only then I found out that the order was cancelled. I was then informed I should receive a refund within 5 days of my email ( not the date of cancellation) and over a week later I still haven’t received any refund. I again emailed this morning and now after 5pm I still haven’t had a response. I understand things can go wrong but I am waiting for the refund so I can purchase elsewhere. Unfortunately I am not overly impressed.”

Good afternoon, We deeply apologize for this mishap. It seems due to a technical difficulty we were unable to notify you of an item ordered which went onto a back order as we did not hold stock. A member of the team should of been in contact late last week to arrange this refund with you. Kind Regards, BES Ltd.

Thank you for your feedback M. Due to our huge product range (over 15,000 products in stock) we provide a collection point and not a trade counter. However, all stocked products are available in 30 mins. We clearly advertise this in our catalogue and online. Apologies for your slight delay @ 40 mins. Regards, BES

“I really thought this company is good but not. I had three bad experience with them. When they have taken many to deliver on time and didn’t deliver. The have option to deliver on Saturday and Sunday but the staff tell you we not guarantee that you can get it. Bette to tell you’ll get when … Is better to have one option and do it instead of five delivery options which you can’t guarantee”
