Just tested the pump and for the size…

Just tested the pump and for the size IWas surprised at how much water it actually pumped out. The important thing for me was that it could drain to the lowest point. Hope I never have to use it in a flooding situation but confident it will cope. Only downside was it was delivered to the wrong address but it was only around the corner.

Web site is misleading

Web site is misleading regarding delivery. Firstly it states Next day delivery, then states delivery in 3 weeks. The order confirmation states the item is in stock, ready for shipment. Finally stating shipment will be in 2-3 days.

Good morning Peter, as we discussed via email, the product page for the Floodshield barriers does clearly state that the product has a 3 weel despatch time from the manufacturer. Once they are ready to desptach then delivery is normally within 2-3 days. I'm sorry you felt this information was misleading. We endeavour to make it clear what the expected delivery and lead times are with clients and would always encourage people to contact us before placing an order if they are in any way unsure of the information on the website.

Avoid - EGO 500 GI

I would be very wary of this company if anything is needed urgently. I ordered a submersible pump (EGO 500 GI) from FPS on the 24/03/25 - @ 3PM, It was delivered 26/03/25 @ 2PM. Next working day delivery was not met, this needs to be addressed on their website properly. Not only in small writing. Flooding is urgent, and when you put across your website saying next day delivery it fools worried people looking for quick fixes, only to then click on it and it not be guaranteed.

To follow on from our initial frustration - We'd ordered the same pump from them previously in 2021, it was working great. A highly recommended pump. We had no issues. But sadly, as time goes on it went out of order, so we needed a new one(quickly). When the new one was delivered, we switched it out and within 10 minutes, the pump started spitting the water out of the seam, there was water everywhere. We called the support team ASAP, only to then be told we need to make an enquiry online for their 'ticket system' - again, if anything is needed urgently, this is not your go to company. The team got back to us quickly, suggesting we might have handled the pump roughly, can we not just push it back in? We replied and said no, the product is stiff and can't be pushed back in, and we attached images. Followed with an email from them saying did we not notice the seam when it arrived? No we didn't, the seam was not noticeable until the water was gushing out. Also, why would we be delivered a faulty pump in the first place? We was told multiple times that they've never any incidents/damages during transport. The support team then replied and said we have two options: 1. Try pushing the base back in(we can't and what if it damages the product more? We will be liable). 2. We have to pay to send it back to the manufacturer, for them to conduct an investigation. If the damage is found to be due to rough handling (which is impossible) then it isn’t covered under warranty - a £200 pump, used for 10 minutes and is broken, not covered by warranty. Is ridiculous. We spoke with one of the directors of the company as this was outrageous by this point. We asked why we need to pay to have it sent to the manufacturer? He said he runs a business. So do we, however your company stocked a faulty item and now, me as a consumer has to pay? To add to the situation they wouldn't offer a replacement. The item needs to be investigated first, its clearly broken if water is gushing out of the seam and not pumping it? The investigation will result in another say week for this issue to be sorted. While we as a micro business are struggling, using buckets to manage, they pocket our £200 and tell us to cough up the fee to send it back to the manufacturer.

Terrible customer service. Flooding is an urgent matter. They have a 'I can't be bothered' attitude. A consumer paying to have a faulty item sent back is ridiculous. We've brought and used the same pump previously from FPS, with no issues. Worked perfectly and for them to suggest they might class this as rough handling and it might not be covered under warranty and to lose £200 as a micro business is insulting.

Good afternoon Paige,
Thank you for your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear you're disappointed, especially as we've been doing our best to assist you in line with both our own and the manufacturer's warranty terms.
We completely understand how frustrating it is when a product doesn’t perform as expected. As the pump was initially working and later developed a fault, it needs to be assessed. This is standard across the industry and is required by the manufacturer, the warranty is with them, not directly with us.
While we would love to offer immediate replacements in all such cases, it simply isn’t viable. That said, we’ve tried to make the process as smooth and fair as possible. Richard, from your team, spoke with our Director of Operations, and we confirmed that if the fault is covered under warranty, we would refund the return postage and ask the manufacturer to fast-track the inspection. Richard indicated at the time that he was satisfied with this.
We value returning customers like yourself and appreciate that your previous experience was positive. As a fellow small business, we hope you can understand our position, particularly that we cannot send out replacements without an inspection first.
We’ve also made every effort to contact you directly and have offered:
A fast-track inspection of the pump.
A full refund of return postage if the fault is deemed a warranty issue.
Regarding delivery, while we aim for next working day service, it is not guaranteed. Your order was placed at 14:50 on the 24th, processed at 14:56, and handed over to DHL at 15:52 the same day. Tracking shows a delay occurred with DHL on the 25th, which was unfortunately out of our control. The item was then delivered on the 26th at 14:09.
We’re disappointed to receive a 1-star review despite our genuine efforts to help resolve the issue. We would still love to get this sorted for you and remain open to working together on a resolution. FPS Team

Good morning, as per my email this morning

You order is coming from 2 different warehouses which is why the pumps have arrived separately.

The tracking ref 60120196175530 with DHL https://track.dhlparcel.co.uk/ is showing as out for delivery today. It’s showing there was a delay but doesn’t give me any information on why and we haven’t received a separate notification about this.

I do apologise for this, however whilst we do everything to ensure next working day delivery this is not guaranteed and once in the hands of the courier is out of our control. This parcel was collected from the warehouse as expected on the 10th for delivery on the 11th.

Regards

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.
