Caveat Emptor!! DO NOT USE THIS SUPPLIER!!!!

Caveat Emptor!!! Do NOT use this supplier!!!
Bought a submersible pump online with spec of 100 l/m and auto demand. It delivers 30 l/m and has to be recycled every time. Reported this to the company - 1 email with full details and then asked to input it all AGAIN on their online form, then a second form to an unrelated testing company to “verify” the fault, oh and yeah please also pay all of the postage back for the faulty piece of junk we supplied.
You can’t talk to customer service as they operate a “ticketing system” and they “will try” and get back to you within 48 hours but only if you fill in their online form, so basically no customer service until you are luck enough to ask PayPal for help!
They will also try and argue that your consumer rights to reject faulty goods are subject to their decision to REPAIR A NEW PUMP!!!
Bad, non existent customer service - buy from a different supplier for your own peace of mind.

Further to the usual long winded word salad that is the standard reaction to the many criticisms on this site regarding the lack of customer service this company shows. Firstly they are not authorised distributors of DAB pumps,but are a second tier retailer via another authorised distributor, which until I spoke to DAB today I did not appreciate. Secondly we did start to cooperate with the process right up to the point where our consumer rights were being tacitly ignored and where we were expected to pay for the return of the faulty unit for “assessment” and when the company involved has no customer facing staff available to speak to on the phone (it’s a recorded message wit a get back to you in 48 hours message as long as you go online and book it!!) and their attitude to problems is so poor it is disingenuous to expect us to trust their opinion. Sorry to disabuse you of your obviously sincerely held belief that you can interpret the law any way you want and ignore the bits you don’t like, you can’t. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY if you like good customer service.

As for their insinuation of uncooperative attitude they have choosen to ignore the fact that having sent a long a detailed email giving them every detail they needed we then at their request transferred it all to their online form, THEN completed a second form for a separate company (NOT DAB uk!) and that they have been informed that we are paying for the pump to be sent back to them via Royal Mail tomorrow which they acknowledged via PayPal - funny how that is interpreted by them as “uncooperative with their process, when that is the process!!
They have also been informed that having spoken to DAB uk we measured the output AT THE PUMP (so no distance or pipe size - another distraction) and it outputs 30 l/m instead of 100 l /m which they were told about in detail in an email and two forms but as is the obvious approach to customer service by this company is to delay, obfuscate and dissuade it is not surprising that their defence contains glaring factual inexactitudes.
The good reviews rarely needed customer service - ALL of the bad reviews did and that is no coincidence.

We take customer service and product quality very seriously, and while we welcome constructive feedback, this review is unfortunately not an accurate reflection of the situation.

From the outset, we attempted to assist this customer by following our standard troubleshooting and warranty process, one designed to ensure a fair and efficient resolution. However, instead of cooperating with our process, which exists to protect both our customers and our business, they were obstructive, refused to follow the necessary steps, and made it unnecessarily difficult for us to help.

The customer demanded a refund before we could even determine if the item was faulty, repeatedly claimed that an engineer had assessed the pump but refused to provide any formal report or credentials to substantiate their claim, and repeatedly dismissed our standard inspection process. Without any independent verification of the fault, we must inspect the pump ourselves to determine whether it is indeed faulty. This is a standard and necessary process to ensure a fair resolution. Furthermore, our team was met with unreasonable hostility and poor treatment despite our continued efforts to resolve the matter professionally.

The customer has repeatedly claimed that the pump is underperforming, which we are certainly willing to assess. However, to accurately evaluate the expected flow rate over the given distance, we require details on how the pump is being used, including the length and size of the pipework. Despite multiple requests for this crucial information, the customer has refused to provide it, instead reacting with hostility to our troubleshooting process and repeatedly demanding a refund while disregarding our genuine attempts to offer meaningful assistance.

As we have communicated, once we receive the pump back, we will be able to determine whether it is indeed faulty and then provide a suitable resolution. Until this has been established, we kindly request that we are treated professionally and with the same courtesy that we extend to all of our customers.

It would appear that this review is an attempt to tarnish our reputation simply because we did not succumb to unreasonable demands. We stand by our policies, which are fully in line with UK consumer law, and we take both non-factual reviews and unacceptable treatment of our staff very seriously.

We continue to pride ourselves on excellent customer service, and our many positive reviews and long-standing reputation speak for themselves. If any future customers have concerns, we encourage them to reach out to us directly, we are always happy to help within a fair and reasonable framework.

To someone my age who isn't confident buying online it was a joy to be able to make a phone call and speak to a human being and not a computer. The person l spoke to was very knowledgeable about the item l was after and answered all my questions.

The item has been delivered when it was expected , l haven't had to unpack it yet , that's for tomorrow. Very satisfied with my treatment from this company.

I realised immediately after ordering that I'd forgotten something, with a few minutes to go before the order cut off time. I phoned and spoke to a human (itself unusual now), who amended the order straight away. Delivery was fast as per the web site, and the product excellent.

Would have been 5* but I missed a part of my order and was hit with a £20 min order charge when I ordered the missing part. Apart from that the service was excellent.
