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
Looks well made thus great value. Not able to set up as decking is still being built.
Helpful Report
Overall the service was very good but the notice we received of the deliveries was very short
Helpful Report
Looks like it should. Not assembled yet.
Helpful Report
The tank I ordered is exactly what it says on the website, except I cannot fit a watering can under the tapunless I raise the tank much higher than I wanted. This is a shame as under the Product Question section it states in an answer that you can fit a watering can under the tap. Shame as everything else is great.
Helpful Report
Order for fast flow tap was very efficient. I would have liked the tap to have a more definite off position
Helpful Report
My order came reasonably swiftly and was exactly as described. Other than having to get a new drill bit big enough to make the hole to attach the filling pipe, installation was straightforward. Unlike other revieweres of this water butt, I had no problems with the orientation of the tap. The only criticism I'd make is that the 4 part base only loosely clips together so doesn't feel the most rigid and secure - but for a £40 product perhaps that is what you expect.

Good customer service team, very helpful.

Pleased when I contacted customer services with a picture of a damaged butt a new one was despatched promptly and arrived today
Helpful Report
There was a bit of confusion initially with my order but it was quickly resolved
Helpful Report
Products were excellent but I had to buy the water butts and stands thro' B & Q and Screwfix who were pretty useless! The manufacturer Harcostar are pretty useless too as Screwfix said most of their grey coloured water butts are not available??? Will buy direct from Water Butts Direct next time!
Helpful Report
Prompt delivery. Good price. Appears to be working OK with the little rain we have had. Must be very carefull where the unit is inserted in the downpipe to line up with the hole in the water barrel
Helpful Report
Item arrived as described but delivery was slow
Helpful Report
Good service and prompt supply, however, notification about delivery date and time could be improved.
Helpful Report
We bought a water butt for our elderly mother so she could water her plants more easily. It arrived quickly, and was easy to put together but the lid is very stiff, so she has to leave it ajar! Generally very pleased.
Helpful Report
Unfortunately the butt I ordered (Harcostar 114ltr) was out of stock at time of ordering (I wasn't aware), and had to wait approx 5 weeks for delivery. Item arrived with slight dent in the base, hopefully will not affect use. Worse still though, I was not pre-advised when item was despatched, only received one hours' notice (by DPD) of imminent delivery, had to quickly re-arrange our plans for the day.
Helpful Report
Excellent product and good value many more extras than expected. There was a production delay and this was not communicated as well as it should have beeen hence only 4 stars!
Helpful Report
Ordered way back in March . I have just received my order, not Water Butts Direct fault for the delay, a manufactoring hold up. Just as well we've had no rain!. I'm very pleased with the size, fits perfectly under the window sill so I don't see it. Would buy again. Good comunication too, kept me informed.
Helpful Report
Arrived promptly and in good order . Easy and straightforward installation.
Helpful Report
Had to wait 2 weeks for the water butt to arrive despite website showing in stock. Would not have been a problem but no contact until I chased - customer service? However, the water butt is great - easy to set up and now waiting for more rain to fil it up! Thank you.
