“ Some sites are selling the same items for a far greater price as well as up to £60 for carrriage so it was nice to have a discount code which negated any postage. ”

“ When I ordered the water butt the website showed delivery in 3-4 weeks however I received a shipping confirmation after a few days which stated that for larger items I would be contacted to arrange a delivery slot. ”

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

Industry Average
“ 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. ”

“ Value for money and excellent service ”

“ I have used Water Butts Direct before and was very happy with the service provided. So when wanting to increase my rainwater storage capacity I went back to them again. Have just had 6 large water butts delivered - ordering was easy and delivery was efficient with everything arriving safely. Have now installed all 6 and can save over 2000 litres more of rainwater in case of more heat waves and dry summers. ”
