While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Fuse size, not amps but actual fit I'm sure a large wall chart would help.

Good staff, had a fuse issue,needed a larger fuse tor a new pool heatpump,unable to find a larger fuse for my fuse holder, so purchased a new fuse holder to find the the first fuse purchased did not fit, back again for another fuse, good this time, it would help if a fuse holder came with a fuse, got there .

Great customer service!

Great customer service from my local store in Horsham. They didn't have the item I wanted in stock, but it was available to order online. I needed some more information about the product before ordering and Tony was extremely helpful. He also pointed out that I could return any item to the Horsham store if I wasn't happy with it - fortunately I was!
