Have used DPS a number of times. Always buy my fittings / valves in bulk from them as miles cheaper than my local merchants. The free sweets always go down well with the kids too!

cheap prices and naff quality

the cheap prices come with cheap quality on the items, i have made several orders and had issues with all of them including out of date silicon tubes, incorrect items and items that are available on the website but then on back order when they send the items, followed by press fit lever valves that leak. customer service is non existent, you phone and can't get through and then email via the website and never hear back from them.

Great Service

Great customer service, with next-day delivery every time. Their prices are unbeatable, and the discounts make the deals even better. Highly recommend!

Don't use if you value reliability and customer service.

Its one of those companies you buy from then wish you had checked the reviews.

Awful customer service on the backend.. Advertise stuff at in stock, confirm shipping but only upon arrival is it missing parts and to be told they are on back order.

Yet their website still shows as available.

In the end, I've had to buy elsewhere, which means for my £12p&p I've only recieve a 45 joint worth £4.

Do not buy if you want something reliable. The only option. Is small claims court. Which I will spend £100 just tk get my £12 back and prove a point.

Item never arrived, much like any response from customer support

I ordered an item, all be it a small one if order, and it never arrived

Much like the response from customer services

I’m just glad it wasn’t an expensive item, but it has still short changed me of 10 pounds !

Personally I’d steer clear and use someone with a record of customer service and order fulfilment

UPDATED 2nd March 26
An update to this review - after the 1 star review on here, this triggered a response from the company, who was able to chase up and track the order for me.
This resulted in the item arriving a couple of days later - a routing error on the side of Royal Mail.
Shame there had to be a 1 star review to initiate some dialogue - maybe there is an issue with the support system
Anyway - I have the item now, and arrived as described

Ordered product for next day delivery…

Ordered product for next day delivery this was 4 Dec 2025. This came and went. Rang up they said after speaking to their delivery agent DX it might be delivered on the 5th but definitely by the 6th. The re delivery time on the 6th was also missed. Now now idea when they are expecting to deliver. So not a reliable supplier. Suggest avoiding if you want stuff in the next 4-5days.

We truly appreciate your patience and apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Honest opinion

I Really don't know where all the negative feedback on here is coming from. I purchased about £100 worth of plumbing fittings. After ordering and paying , somehow I came across all the negative reviews so decided to look on here. After reading them , I thought here we go !!! Going to have bother here !............. It was the total opposite. The goods were ordered late on a night about 10:30pm. They were here no problem within a day and a half.
I'll definitely be using them again !!! I speak as I find and review honestly... I've literally had no problem at all.

Clowns

The end of 2024 has had my business dealing with many clowns! Non more so than this circus of a company.

Made an order in the region of £500 of press fittings, when the package arrived it looked like it had been beaten to death and most of the content was missing!

Messaged and the customer care team claimed I was lying! After proof of delivery was checked as evidence the items were resent. But the way I was spoken to was not good! Especially when there own POD photo showed the state of the package.

Rubbish customer service

Ordered something, delivered next day. Then realised wasn’t needed informed them and sent it back at my expense.under consumer regulations you have 14 days to change your mind for a full refund including the £7.99 they charged me for delivery.
All they refunded was the cost of the part despite me contacting them they just ignored me.
Avoid them customer service appalling.
