“Arrived very promptly, exactly as advised. Water Butt perfect. Thanks.”

Helpful Report

“The water butt has only just arrived so not sure what sort of review I can write.”

Helpful Report

“Was not able to see how order was progressing or when it would be dispatched. First I knew was when I got an email telling me it would be delivered that day Also not that chuffed with the shape of the butts themselves. Their footprint is bigger than norms water butts. And you need to have long arms and be very flexible to unscrew the tap from inside to set it up”

Helpful Report

“8 days later the tap still hasn’t arrived.”

“The compost system arrived quicker than expected and is of very good quality”

Helpful Report

“So far, over the last couple of years, we have purchased 5 water butt's from Water Butt's Direct, and if the water butt's and assessories they stock were not upto doing the job they are designed for, we would not have bothered. Excellent”

Helpful Report

“Great product - I was especially pleased that it was made out of recycled plastic, but information on elivery times was a bit sketchy as it wasn't in stock”

Helpful Report

“Product is great. Slightly shambolic organising delivery Customer care need some empathy skills...”

Helpful Report

“Order placed 6th Sept. Water Butts Direct sent email 11th Sept wanting feedback on item; I sent email to customer service about non-delivery. Evri sent email 13th Sept that it had received item. Didn't here back from Water Butts Direct until 15th Sept, email said item had been shipped. Evri then said item would arrived on 16th Sept. However, it took Evri until late 18th Sept to deliver water butt (after at least 2 delays). Did Evri loose water butt? DON'T USE EVRI.”

Helpful Report

“So far - advice and help in ordering could not have been better - but I have so far only received the piping! Looking forward to getting the unit itself! I was quoted up to 10 working days it’s only been 4”

Helpful Report

“Asked if diverter would fit a 63mm sq down pipe was told it would be a tight fit it fit for a all good so far just waiting for rain”

Helpful Report

“It hasn't arrived yet. Perhaps increase the effort getting it here and decrease the getting a review time”

“Haven't actually got them fixed up yet as having guttering put in and there going to fix them to the butts they look ok got all fixture and fittings so I'm pleased with them.”

Helpful Report

“Web site stated 18in Tru Drop planters in stock, however after waiting 2 weeks no delivery or response and items now shown as out of stock. After phoning and requesting refund I was informed I would be contacted same day for resolution. Still no response, very poor communication, hence will wait a few more days and raise issue with my credit card company.”

“No ifs and plenty of butts ! - All good.”

Helpful Report

“Delivery was prompt and the water butt is good. The instructions could have been clearer and somewhat more comprehensive. The tap annoyingly drips a little. Other than that it’s exactly what was promised.”

Helpful Report

“Always very pleased with the service. Fast flow water butt taps are great£”

Helpful Report

“Prompt servive, no issues so far. Await to have butts erected to see if any negatives come up. Would wait on recommendation til that is done.”

Helpful Report

“Delivered relatively quickly. Looks good quality but missing the connection I’d paid for to connect to the drainpipe & no paperwork or fitting instructions. Instructions are online if you search, and after a telephone call, Im promised the drainpipe connection will follow. So short of perfect.”

Helpful Report

“An excellent website with a comprehensive variety of water butt suppliers and storage capacity to choose from and, importantly, a range of accessories and products to improve and enhance rainwater storage options. We now have approaching 100 gallons (450 litres) of rainwater storage capacity and that means we, hopefully, won't be faced with similar problems to those of the long, hot, dry summer of 2025 when our modest garden pond had to be topped-up, twice, with (treated) tap-water when the levels dropped alarmingly low.”
