Socal provides excellent service & great prices
Socal provide an excellent service to their customers; from being able to purchase gas cylinders simply online through to prompt delivery within a couple of days all at a very competitive price.
The only suggestion for improvement is if they could send an email or text message letting their customers know their order is out for delivery would be really helpful. Our cylinders are behind a locked gate, so we need to know whether to leave it unlocked.

Thank you for your feedback. We feel your pain and are currently in the process of upgrading the website. So hopefully it will be vastly improved next time you go to use it.
Excellent service.
The service was great, I received my purchase in less than 24hrs from ordering. Was a little hesitant about the payment system. I wanted to pay using my credit card, and I had to do this via the PayPal portal (I don’t have a PayPal account) but all worked out fine without creating an account.

Quick and easy
Parcel came quickly (2 days), in great condition and I didn't have any issues with their website. Allowed me to buy an item for my partner that I struggled to find anywhere else online. All round good service.

Weber pizza stone
The ordering process was a little clunky but eventually got it to accept the details provided and paid. Next day delivery arrived when they said it would. Huge amount of packaging compared to the size of the item. Opened up the product box to check it wasn’t broken. Product is intact but one end of the box was very wet so glad I noticed that before picking it up, otherwise it might have fallen out of the box and cracked it. Guessing the product has been stored in a damp location. Apart from that, all good. Can’t argue with the price paid
