“The magnets I ordered do not magnetise on the same board that all the others I have, do magnetise. What should I do ?”

Hi Irit, firstly, thank you for taking time to leave us a review, we appreciate any feedback and are always looking for ways to improve. We are sorry the magnets you ordered were not strong enough for your application. The magnets you ordered are ferrite disc magnets, also known as ceramic magnets. They are magnetised with their north and south poles on their opposite flat faces. Ferrite magnets have a high resistance to corrosion and demagnetisation and their great advantage is that they can operate in temperatures of up to 180 degrees Celsius. These magnets are ideal for craft making, model making and other non-technical applications where a really strong magnet is not necessary. Please be assured a member of our team will be in touch with you to suggest a better magnet for your application and solve this issue, but if you would prefer to reach out to us directly, don't hesitate to contact us via email at sales@magnetexpert.com or our free phone line on 0800 488 0288 (*there is no charge to call our team) Thanks again, Aine O'Hare Content Manager FIRST4MAGNETS

Hi Juanita, we can see from your order you purchased only steel discs - these are not magnets but made of a ferrous material that will be attracted to magnets. One of our team members will be in touch and more than happy to help you find a magnet fit for your intended application, you can also reach out to them at sales@magnetexpert.com or simply call 0800 488 0288 (*there is no charge to call our team). Thanks, Aine O'Hare Content Manager FIRST4MAGNETS

“On their website they state that the N42 magnet is suitable for Wrenn and Hornby Dublo model locomotives. This may be true for some models but it didn't fit mine. I have subsequently found that different motor types within the range of model require different magnets. If they want to make this claim on the web they should state which models they magnet is suitable for.”

“Two of the four magnets broke on the first day. Is that what they mean by calling themselves First4Magnets? I don't think my children are at fault. The material of the magnets are so weak, that if you drop them they break: USELESS!”

“I only needed small magnets and ordered a pack of 10mm. They came promptly, nicely packed but as soon as I tried handling them and the magnets collided they shattered into useless magnetic debris! Sadly a waste of money for me.”

“I was very happy with the advice and product. I was extremely annoyed when I checked my mobile bill and saw that the only phone number listed on the website is a chargeable number. That may be the mobile phone company?s charging, but I know plenty of companies that would not use such a number. I also know a bunch of companies that do use chargeable numbers and I don?t buy from them. It would be very simple to add a local area code number and point out to customers that they should use this if calling from a mobile. Or just change the number. Either way it?s not the 5 quid that matters, it?s the principal of it.”
