Have been buying here for years

Have been buying here for years. Good company to deal with, decent selection. Delivery used to be quick but last few orders have taken ages to arrive despite offering Royal Mail 24. Have had to source elsewhere inbetween delivery which isn't ideal.

Dreadful customer service experience…

EDIT:
The reply from ET UK implies that I was at fault and there was ‘miscommunication’; certainly no miscommunication on my behalf, instead there was misunderstanding on your behalf and my device was indeed disposed of as a result of a faulty clearomizer which was only identified as faulty after I attempted to use it on a new device and realised that it didn’t work. If I hadn’t have received a faulty clearomizer in the first place then the whole situation wouldn’t have happened. I’m left out of pocket due to you selling me a faulty clearomizer. Hence why I contacted you and explained the order of events in detail but sadly you didn’t ‘want’ to understand my communication. I repeatedly explained in numerous emails to you the order of events, so using the word ‘miscommunication’ is just a get out clause that you are hiding behind to not admit any fault. Rubbish customer service, rubbish customer care and rubbish reply to my review. Customers beware that if something goes wrong, they do not like to admit fault and make it as difficult as possible for you, hoping you’ll give up.

Dreadful customer service experience from what I have always believed to be a five star business. As stated in my numerous emails to you: customers only find out how good a business is when something goes wrong. And it certainly did with my last order from you.
Yes I got a replacement e-liquid and a nominal credit on my account as a ‘gesture of goodwill’ but that didn’t go far enough to compensate for the hassle and stress caused. Poor customer service and definitely not what I was expecting. Really disappointed with the outcome.

Hi Danielle, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. After reviewing the ticket, there appears to be some miscommunication. Our team promptly arranged to send you a replacement clearomizer, as the one in your kit appeared to be defective. Unfortunately, you discarded the entire starter kit before contacting us for assistance, even though the battery was in working condition. While we empathise with the frustration of accidentally disposing of a working device, we must note that this situation was, unfortunately, beyond our control. As a goodwill gesture, we credited your e-wallet with half the value of the kit, which you can use towards a new purchase. We appreciate your understanding. Best Regards - ET Team

I have been using this company for the past year. Never had a problem in fact they are very cheap and very quick postage. However after receiving 3 broken vapes in a few months, the company are not prepared to exchange or refund me unless they get the broken device tested. PEOPLE BE AWARE OF THE EVER CHANGING POLICIES AND RETURNS.

Hi Laura, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologise for the issues you’ve encountered with your starter kits. As a gesture of goodwill, we replaced your kit on two separate occasions, waiving the usual requirement to return the device first. However, given that this is now the third report of an issue with the same device, we kindly request that you return the kit for further testing. As part of our standard process, all defective products must undergo testing, and we have not made any changes to our returns policies. While we initially accommodated replacements outside of our standard policy, the repeated issues now require us to adhere strictly to our Returns Policy. This ensures a thorough investigation is conducted before any replacement or refund is issued. We thank you for your understanding. Best Regards - ET Team

Prices are great but ….

Prices are great, free delivery over £20. Prompt delivery. Had a couple of issues with disposable Vapes which I spend around £50 a month on, the issue with the odd one not working!….and feeling like you get the Spanish Inquisition if you try and get a refund ! So that aspect, very disappointing, however overall good in terms of value for money and quick delivery.

Superb and efficient service!

Got a great deal on a XROS 4 Mini with 3 free liquids and ordered it quite late not expecting next day delivery (past cut off time). However, received a dispatch email shortly after and the package indeed arrived next day. Outstanding service, and great prices.

Until recently very happy with service and delivery.

However if you get a problem all they do is replace it.

I have bought multiple 10 motive batteries and the majority of them have failed after short use or arrived not working.

they seem uninterested in the quality problem of their stock so i have no interest in using them again and have moved to Vape2Stop.

Hi Adam, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We regret to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced with the 10 Motives Batteries. Please note that we are not the manufacturer and therefore cannot influence the quality of this product; it is overseen by 10 Motives. However, we will forward your feedback to them for further investigation. Unfortunately, changing retailers is unlikely to fix the issue as the stock originates from the same source. We offer alternatives to 10 Motives batteries and if you require further information please don’t hesitate to contact us. Best Regards - ET Team

Brilliant

Had a delivery issue and the delivery company were extremely unhelpful but Electrictobacconist.co.uk got it sorted for me within an hour and reassured me that I won't have the issue again. Their products are well worth the money, flavours exactly how they're described, they dispatch very quickly, and their customer service is top notch!
