Great service

Very reasonable price for the product I purchased. Very fast delivery and when I had an issue with one if the products that I had purchased the customer service was fantastic in letting me return it simply and sending me a replacement quickly. I would definitely recommend Mech Lite.

Fantastic value for money

I purchased the same Fulton and bray door knobs from another retailer, I asked for a possible multi purchase discount but the company didn't oblige. I purchased 5 sets from them. I managed to source the same crystal door knobs fulton and bray from mechlite, 30% less expensive! without even asking for a multi buy discount it is already applied with each increase, I purchased 5 from mechlite, fantastic, efficient service, will undoubtedly use again.

Hi Chris,

Sorry that on this occasion we were unable to deliver your goods to you the next day. We did have some of the items in stock which therefore triggered the next day delivery flag, but not enough for the size of your bulk order.

Your order confirmation would have stated an estimated delivered but an additional day was required to order in the remainder of the stock. A confirmed delivery date was sent out to you by email the same day and we do usually phone customers the same day to let them know if we do not have enough stock and I am not sure why this did not happen on this occasion and I apologies for that.

We are currently in the process of redeveloping our product page to show information more clearly and hope that this will resolve any issues with our delivery times not being fully clear.

Kind Regards,

great service and product

Ordered the door closure fitting at a very reasonable price late one afternoon. All went smoothly with the ordering with very fast acknowledgment email .
Item despatched when they said it would be on very efficient tracked delivery service.
Email received from the carrier giving a time slot for delivery second day after ordering.
Item arrived well within the stated time.
What more could anyone want?

Excellent value and fast delivery with estimated time

I decided to fit a magnetic lock for entry to an outbuilding, together with a weatherproof keypad, all running off a 12 volt supply, so needed various components all of which were available from Mechlite and were much cheaper than any other source I could find. The package was delivered the next day after ordering. Mechlite use a courier that informs you of your one-hour delivery slot at the beginning of the day, and it is even possible to track the location of the delivery driver online. This is much better than waiting in all day for a delivery with no idea of when it is likely to take place as is the case with many other couriers..

MechLite good, Burton safe company less good

Having selected the model that I liked, I shopped around for the best price. MechLite was the best deal, once delivery, etc was considered.

I spoke to them with the online chat typing option and it worked well. We discussed delivery options, including deliver to the curb or deliver and place in the house. Due to price, I chose delivery to the curb.

I placed my order and made it clear on the order (as well has having mentioned it in the chat session) that I would require to know the delivery date ahead of time, so that I could make sure I was in to take delivery. I also asked if I could be called on the day of delivery to give an ETA, or be called an hour before my slot, so that I could organise some help to move the 250kg item from the pavement inside the house.

Several days had passed and no dispatch or delivery advice had been given. Then there was a knock at the door at 8am, just as I was about to leave for work. The safe was on a pallet ready for me!

The delivery driver was superb and did way more than he was obligated to. Between he and I, with ten minutes of frantic prep work and a lot of heaving and pushing and struggling with the safe on a hoist/trolley, I got it inside the building and somewhere that it was reasonable for it to stand until it could be moved to its final location.

At that point, a shower was needed and a change of clothes, so I was late for work.

A couple of hours or so later, MechLite called me to say they had followed up with Burton safes to see when the safe was going to be dispatched ex-works and were alarmed to be told it was that day and it had in fact already been dropped off at just after 8am!

They were very apologetic and it is clear that MechLite were badly let down by Burton safes. Fortuanely, it all worked out. However, I had I been a middle aged or less fit person, or not at home, etc, then things would have gotten quite tricky quite quickly.

The safe itself is perfect. MechLife - your supplier isn't helping you - you should speak to them about this before they start to cost you customers, etc!


**********************
Added the following after the reply from MechLite:

Thanks for the reply, MechLife.

I understand fully that a delivery time request is not something many logistics companies offer (some do, Burton could chose to drop-ship with one of those).

However, even a delivery date would have been of great help.

Had I been told the day before 'It will be here some time tomorrow' then I can plan for that. You will see that a delivery date of 'It's there already' on the day is not something that can be planned around.

I don't blame MechLife as you don't have direct control over it and you acted as well as could have been hope for given the circumstances.

I would indeed use MechLite again but would have to take careful consideration as to how to deal with unplanned deliveries, in case this happened again.

Hi,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review here on TrustPilot.

Unfortunately Burton Safes do not currently provide precise delivery times, and only provide a delivery date, so when we rang them up first thing that morning we were merely informed that the safe had already been delivered, even before our office was open. We will of course pass your comments on to Burton Safes and we are continually pressing on them to offer this service soon.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused, and hope that this unfortunate circumstance will not prevent you from considering using MechLite again.

MechLite
