The price was great, and everything I wanted was supplied (as described on the website). The butts are exactly what I wanted and fit well in a relatively confined space. I now await some useful rain.
- Philip
Good promt service, and a good product for the price. The only thing I would suggest is a bit of info on how to fit/seal the tap, I had a small leak and had to empty the butt to put some tape on the thread. Not a real problem and will get another one for the other side of the house.

By far the best price out there for a water butt that size that I found. That it's recycled plastic has to be greener. It was easy to order (a friend sent me a link) which I did on a Monday and it arrived the following Saturday six days later.

Really efficient delivery and the butt is just what I wanted
- Linda Robertson
Extremely quick delivery, so I was able to replace an old leaky one, and catch the weekend showers. Iit is a quarter full already and working well. Great accesory pack, very satisfied.

Returns Process - Difficult

Purchased, delivered installed and rather depressingly shrinks in size when full, to the extent that the inflow is no longer level, but 4 or 5 cm's below the original height, which proceeds to drip. It will be interesting to see if it returns to the original height when emptied. A review was requested.

Refunds - Difficult

Today I received a very poor excuse of an email saying the item is out of stock, so I will get a refund in up to 5 days time! Too late for me to reorder from elsewhere and have the irrigation system set up.
- FURIOUS
I am currently awaiting an update - but after 4 weeks it's getting a bit silly and I will be requesting a refund.

Item arrived fine and customer service friendly, but was charged £51 to return item for a refund. Item was free to deliver and different couiers were used for the expensive collection. Can't help feeling that I have been overcharged for this return, even if item was fairly large. For this reason, I am very unlikely to shop here again.
