Daniel Ferdinand,

We're very sorry to hear about the damage to your order and, more importantly, the delay in getting this resolved for you. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand your frustration at having to chase us for an update.

We sincerely apologise for the lack of communication and the time it has taken to resolve this matter. We have now arranged for a replacement watering can and broom to be sent to you free of charge.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are sorry again for the inconvenience and disappointment caused.

Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

Website achingly slow and clunky to the point I logged off 3 times out of frustration. Ordered 2 brooms and alone sent with wrong head. Must try harder guys. I’d buy from Amazon next time.

Good Value

I bought two water butts at a very fair price and they were delivered the following day. It hasn't rained much since but both barrels are working well. I am very happy with the purchase.

Good & Bad

The good part was the help I had from Claire with the delivery of my order. The courier sent the parts back instead of trying to deliver to my house again. The dies were finally successfully delivered.

There is however a quality problem. I used the M2 die on Saturday to thread a piece of 2mm diameter silver steel. After completing a 12mm length of thread part of the die cracked.

I held the rod in the chuck of my lathe, the die in a precision holder in the tail stock, and used Rocol cutting compound. The die was turned by hand. I have cut many threads in this manner before without breaking one die.

I purchased a high speed steel die on purpose so that it would last. This shouldn’t happen to a quality product so I believe it must have been manufactured incorrectly. I would therefore like either a replacement M2 die or a refund for it.

Once again your help would be greatly appreciated.

Mr Moth,

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me just now. I'm pleased to hear that you were happy with the service and the resolution we were able to provide.

I'd also like to apologise for the issues you experienced with both the delivery and the faulty M2 die. We understand how frustrating it was to have to chase for an update after reporting the fault, and we're sorry that our communication did not meet the standard you expected.

Thank you for bringing the matter to our attention and for giving us the opportunity to put things right. I'm glad we were able to reach a satisfactory resolution and process the refund for you.

We truly appreciate your patience and your feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Kind regards,
Donna,
Customer Resolution Team.
