Easy to deal with.

Easy to find the right part and to order. Although over the Christmas period was despatched quickly and arrived in good time. Cost of postage was included in the price. Thanks.

Everything fine

Everything fine. The new connector is somewhat shorter than the original, but I can shower around that.

Ordered part that they don't have.

I ordered a front cover and badge for a SE shower,they took my money knowing the badge was discontinued, i received a email confirmation of cover and badge. The following day i received another email confirmation but without the badge, no reason or sorry. I called them and had to wait ages, and then to be told they were discontinued,but they still show on their website. What a way to run a business, i have to wait for a refund.
The badges are still on their website. They will take your money for something they haven't got

Falling short of expectations When my order was placed the order…

When my order was placed the order confirmation email advised that I would receive a delivery tracking number once my order was dispatched. I was never sent this number,further having not received it after four days I emailed customer services to enquire if the replacement part ordered had been dispatched,it took seven days for customer services to respond to this simple request.
