“Not great. The tap connector provided is stiff to use and constantly drips even though fully tightened.”

“The basket filter was described as to fit 300mm opening which is what I purchased it for! Unfortunately the filter is 300mm overall, ie to outside edge of the flange so when I put it on my tank it just fell through the hole into the bottom! 🙄.”

Good morning Mike, thank you for your order and for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the delay in receiving your order. Unfortunately, due to a large online order, our stock was suddenly depleted without much notice. There was a large amount of orders which this then affected, with yours sadly being one of them. I can see that our customer service assistant Marina did contact you the next working day to make you aware and that your barrels have now been delivered. We look forward to an opportunity to make this delay up to you and hope to hear from you again in the future. Once again, please accept our apologies for this delay and any problems this may have caused.

Hi David, thank you for your order and for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the delay in receiving your order. We can see that your order was placed on the 24th and was received on the 27th. Due to an error on our stock system, we were showing higher amounts in stock than were physically there, and unfortunately did not have enough to fulfil the order until the 26th. We hope that this delay has not caused you any issues and look forward to an opportunity to make this up to you. We hope to hear from you again soon.

“I placed an order for something very simple on the 29th March and its not arriving until the 11th. I phoned and emailed to chase up the phone call said it had not been processed properly and that he would do it then and the email saying it had been lost in the system. It seemed a really easy order to me that I wanted before Easter !”

Hi Richard, thank you for your order and for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the initial error in processing your order. We did correct this on the fifth, but unfortunately Royal Mail did not scan this in until Friday. Looking at your tracking details, I can see this is out for delivery today with Royal Mail. We look forward to hearing from you again in the future for an opportunity to make this up to you.

Thank you for your review and order. We share your disappointment that your parcel has not yet arrived as our team worked hard to ensure your order was dispatched quickly, looking at the tracking it appears to have been delayed in the Christmas post. The good news is your parcel is showing as out for delivery today with the Royal Mail. Please do contact us if you need any assistance and I am looking forward to your parcel arriving soon.

Hi Martin, thank you for your order and for your feedback. Our invoice and feedback survey are automated to send when an order has been dispatched and is on its way. Unfortunately, your parcel was held up with the courier according to their tracking details. As this was dispatched with them on the 5th, but delivery was not made by them until the 9th. Please contact our sales team when you place your next order and quote your order ID, and they shall do their best to ensure a better delivery service free of charge as a gesture of goodwill. We would like to sincerely apologise for the delay and confusion.
