Good price and good selection if products. Easy to order online. Only comment would be never received a dispatch confirmation email. Luckily the delivery didn't need signing for as I was out. Thanks Sean Harley

Hi Sean, thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review. It helps us but also helps our future customers. I do have a record of a shipping confirmation email going out the 7th... we did have some very brief email difficulties towards the end of last week so it's possible it became lost in the ether/delayed? Please accept our apologies and also our thanks for your business. Please come again!

Hello David, many thanks for leaving a review. I hope your metric-only tapes will serve you well when you return to Canada... if only they were more readily available over there. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Hi Gareth, Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review - we know our customers are all busy people and really appreciate the comments they leave. The Advent Vice Versa tape is a really handy, useful tape that solves some rather frustrating little problems that occur with regular tape measures! Please do let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Not sure if the aquant i got is propery working as is showing an at risk reading, on most areas in which i test. The case was a little dirty when i got it i am not sure if i have received a second hand / used product. Can i request someone call our office to disscuss this mater thanks Andrew Ferguson CGDM

Hello Andrew, I can 100% assure you that you haven't received a second hand/used product. We do not sell any used products. The only reason for packaging being slightly dirty could be that it has been on a shelf for a little while. This obviously doesn't affect the quality or usability of the unit. Apologies you're having an issue with this unit - it could just be a faulty unit although this is a very rare occurrence with Protimeter, their products being very well engineered 99.99% of the time. I'll call you this morning to assess this tool - we can look into arranging a collection/assessment of the product ASAP.

Hi Kevin, I'm sorry to hear you felt let down by the delivery service. We always strive to keep our customers happy as you can see from all the other positive reviews on here! However, on this occasion it is clear that you're not happy and for that we apologise. As per the email I've already sent you we do make it very clear in a number of sections of our website (including the basket/checkout) that courier delivery to Northern Ireland takes 2 working days providing an order has been placed before 2pm. Your order was placed just after 11pm on Thursday and was therefore dispatched on Friday for delivery two working days later - Tuesday (tomorrow). Having checked with our courier (UPS) your delivery is on schedule to arrive as stated on Tuesday. We have therefore lived up to all the commitments about delivery that we make on our website. We subsidise all courier deliveries (to the tune of around £12 in your case) but a Saturday delivery to Northern Ireland would cost us around £50 - a cost we would naturally have had to pass on to you as the customer. Because you didn't request this service we dispatched your order by our standard service. This said, we do appreciate that you are unhappy and, whilst we cannot agree that we've done anything wrong here, as a gesture of good faith we have refunded your postage costs and will be sending you a small gift in the post. Kind regards, Ian - The Tape Store

Hi James, thank you so much for leaving such a glowing report of your transaction. We really appreciate you taking the time out of your day. I have to say Royal Mail have outdone themselves... for 2nd Class to arrive the very next day is pretty rare! Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you.

Excellent service. I received clear advice prior to a purchase and confirmation of dispatch for all goods. All the items were received either the next day or as promised.

Hi David, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Such positive comments! You bought a pretty wide range of products - the Disto and the Protimeter should serve you very well, as should the tapes. Please let us know if we can do anything else for you!

Even though they sent the wrong measuring tape, they were nothing but helpful and apologetic on the phone... hopefully this will be sorted soon but I was impressed at how quickly they refunded me, paid for the cost of posting back the wrong product and sorted out delivering the right tape measure. Overall I'm rather impressed!

Hi Pete, thanks for leaving such a positive review and for being so understanding. We had a new member of staff start the day you ordered and he accidentally picked the wrong tape... In his defence he felt terrible about it... we all make mistakes now and the two tapes were right next to each other :-) I'm glad we managed to sort things out for you and that you've got the tape you wanted. In terms of refunding the return postage it's the least we could do! Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you going forward.

I bought 5m and 10m fat max tapes metric only . The tapes are great but the fact I can mark from both edges of the tape is excellent. Plenty of people wanting to borrow them .

Hi Stewart, thanks for leaving a review - we really appreciate your time. You couldn't be more right regarding metric only tapes... they make life so much easier for those working in metric. No more having to transfer the measurement from one side of the tape to the other leading to errors! Please let us know if there's anything else we can do for you going forward.

Really good advice, excellent stock including tapes which aren't so easy to get but should be, eg metric only and good price. Very highly recommended.

Hi Nick, thanks for the kind words and, of course, for your repeat business! The Fisco Class 1 tape you bought is a brilliant tool as is the Disto X310. It should really make measuring spaces for bespoke furniture much easier. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
