Hands down ET has the best customer service I have ever experienced from an online retailer. I had a traumatising situation because of the DPD couriers. ET was very quick to respond to my emails,... See more

Great multi buy offers and quick delivery, I highly recommend!

I have been ordering the Riot Connex pods from ET for a number of months now. Every order has arrived quickly and in suitable packaging, which is fantastic given that the delivery is free when you spend over £19.99. I bulk buy the pods as ET always have great multi buy offers on which makes an expensive habit much more affordable.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with ET and I highly recommend them to anybody who vapes!

Positive review

Since using ETUK I’ve always had a positive experience, I am never able to find the vape juice I like in regular shops but without fail, I will always get it on here.
They once sent me a freebie vape juice, which in turn has turned out to be one of my new favourites!
It’s one of the best online shops for vape juices, and the delivery is so quick and reliable. I’ve never had a time where I’m waiting for my parcel and it does what it says on the website “free delivery if you order before 4pm”.
I’ve recommended ETUK to a few of my friends -they also have always had a positive experience.

I’m not one to usually write reviews, however ETUK definitely deserves one!!

I have always rated this company highly…

I have always rated this company highly but it’s 10 days since my order, no email of when I will get delivery and no way of contacting the company. Dreadful!

Absolutely perfect service

Once in a while you come across a company that knows how to deliver the perfect service. ETUK are certainly included in that category. Reasonable prices (and deals) and the fastest and most consistent delivery I've ever experienced. Can't fault them in the slightest.

Giving The Electric Tobacconist 5 stars 100%

This company deserves awards for firstly customer service, I had a reply within 12 hours, after a little proving it was delivered it the wrong address. Not only did they dispatch my order again BUT let me change some flavours around due to me mistakingly adding the wrong ones. I give this company a 10/10 10 star 1st class rating. VERY VERY impressed.

Differing prices for same items without explanation

So I placed my order with a newsletter promo code and all seemed well. I live off-shore so VAT isn't applicable but it makes it difficult to work out what actually should be paid. Anyway, I've tried to place the same order and I get a different price. I press re-order and a different price again! I asked about this anomaly and was fobbed off. The code didn't even seem to take 10% off. Very confusing.

I upgraded my review after further pressing them on the issue. I eventually got a satisfactory response and a credit for the inconvenience.

Issues with delivery but resolved.

I have used this company for years the service was usually very good. However my last order did not arrive when I contacted the company they sent a picture of its supposed delivery which was clearly not the reception of my building. They have since resolved the issue and hopefully will receive the replacement order shortly.

Fair company but wouldn’t buy from them again

Ok, so prompt delivery however the liquid I bought had a strange taste to it. I emailed the company and they responded quickly. However I bought this liquid as a treat for myself for this weekend, it’s a premium liquid zues Zy4 , so quite disappointed that it tasted strange. To be fair they offered me a refund but I just can’t be bothered with the faff of sending back etc. All in all not a bad company to deal with and were willing to refund but wouldn’t buy from them again as don’t want to be disappointed again with the liquid not being up to scratch

Excellent customer service.

I have made several orders from this company and all have arrived the next day. The customer service is excellent. I bought a starter kit that didn't work, l contacted them via email and received a very quick reply. A replacement unit was posted out the same day and a free returns label for the faulty one. I would gladly recommend this company to anyone.

The customer service team were amazing an kept me informed at every stage via email, with quick prompt replies. Really impressed. You got a new regular shopper. Thank you
