Very pleased with my purchase, but wish I’d bought the stands at the same time, my existing ones didn’t fit! However, they are lovely, good quality water butts at a reasonable price, to replace my ancient ones. Good recommendation from my parents and will pass on that recommendation 😊

Just go my two guttering mates from Water Butts Direct. Not installed them yet but the quality is superb. A great price and a fast delivery I would definitely recommend anyone to give them a go.

I recently purchased a water butt. The price was competitive, delivery and communication was good. The butt was well packaged, as described and very good quality. I've name my butt ( ermmm), Harold the Barrel. Amazingly Harold filled to the brim overnight during fairly light rain. I would use WBD again.

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.

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.

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.

I have had 3 water butts from from Water Butts Direct along with installation kits. A first class service from start to finish. Very quick to help when I accidently made the same payment twice. The incorrect amount of overpayment was refunded immediately. Highly recommend.

Water Butts Direct is an excellent Company. We experienced a really efficient service with our water butt arriving in a very short time. I really appreciated their excellent help and support with my order.

Product selection is great along with the prices but their downfall is communications. Accept an order then nothing for almost 2 weeks and a chase email went unanswered. Happy to take your cash but not provide the customer service that goes with a retail business
