Poor delivery

The item I ordered wasn’t actually in stock so they shouldn’t have let me order it. 5 weeks it took to get to me I ended up ordering from somewhere else since it was taking forever.

Disappointing service

Placed an order for to buffer stops of which web site was saying in stock. 3 weeks when by and still not received order. Tried chasing but no response from email and when tried phoning got message sometimes saying number out of action and when i got through went straight to answer machine. I had to go through my bank in order to get my money back. Would not recommend this company to anyone. How can they survive with poor service

Do not Trust this retailer

The supplier has had on back order for 3 months my items, they have taken payment in full. Despite numerous voice mail messages, emails and Facebook messenger, I only got one reply and that was to tell me they were driving trains and would get get in touch once they were in the office.
They have no regards for their customers at all.
DO NOT TRUST THEIR WEBSITE, DO NOT GET CAUGHT OUT LIKE ME.

Excellent price but slow delivery

The excellent item price attracted me to KMS Railtech but I had to chase them by email and telephone to secure the delivery as the item had come in to stock but not been sent out. Once sent it arrived in a timely fashion. Hopefully this was just a glitch in their system! I'd have no hesitation in using KMS again.
