It would be very great if we could pay the order by bank transfer from our university instead of by credit card, which in ocassions it is very difficult to carry out. Thanks

Overall my experience was excellent

Overall my experience was excellent. I had no trouble finding the products I was looking for. Since we are a research institute, they provide various payment options, enabling us to pay within 30 days. We made a mistake and they helped us fix it.

This has been a pleasant experience

I had a positive experience overall. I encountered an issue during the software purchase process, but a team member efficiently assisted me in resolving the problem with my order. I truly appreciate the team's consistent helpfulness.

Arrived promptly thank you.
However took a while to realize who and where you were as we were given Moduslink BV as the supplier. Your company information was in the small print at the bottom of their page

It became clear to me that I purchased an x-ray detector along with an SEM, not directly from Oxford Inst.

Hi Jose, thank you for providing your details. I have checked and you do not have an account with the eStore nor do we ship to Mexico so I believe there is some confusion and you did not mean to leave this review here as you have never bought from our online store. Our store does not sell X-ray detectors on the eStore, only consumables as well as some spare parts and accessories. If you have a detector that you have bought from a division of Oxford Instruments you would have to contact the Service Department of the business unit that you bought the detector from. I am guessing that it might be X-ray the website is https://xray.oxinst.com/ - We do not stock any spare parts for X-ray on the eStore so unfortunately I am unable to help you further but I hope that if you contact the service department of the website above they should be able to help you further. Kind Regards, Katie

Well-made and easy-to-use online shop with support.

Well-made and easy-to-use online shop. Purchase history available. Just one star less because of an issue with payments by credit card during checkout. However, support is present, reacts within a reasonable time and provides real help. Very quick shipment if products are on stock. Overall a very good experience: I recommend it.

Follow-up

I submitted a previous review about a delivery delay, so the Oxford e-store followed up on that and informed me that the delay was due to UPS experiencing weather issues. We are expecting the delivery today.

Hi Linda, thanks for your review, I have checked on the system and the payment was received on 28th Feb and the parcel was released and scanned for pickup on this day, however if you check the UPS tracking the parcel was delayed for reasons out of our control (the weather):

02/29/2024: 3:46 A.M. Severe weather conditions have delayed delivery

Thankfully it is out for delivery now: Estimated delivery: Thursday, March 07 by End of Day

The trustpilot invitation is triggered by dispatch and unfortunately isn't linked to UPS so won't know that your parcel has been delayed with the courier, apologies for that.

Double VAT charge!!

Overpriced, slow shipping and sourced from overseas so don't be fooled by the UK shopfront. This company charged me VAT and then I received another VAT invoice from their importer. Would be fine if they tried to sort this out, but firmly attempted to fob it off onto me. Won't be using again.

Thank you for your review. Sorry you have had issues with the import duties. We are a UK company but our warehouse is based in the Netherlands so we DHL do charge import duties for orders in the UK.
