Excellent quality and smooth experience

I bought a nail clipper from Viva Instruments and couldn’t be happier with it. The quality is outstanding — sharp, precise, and easy to use. Delivery was fast, and the packaging was neat and professional. It feels like a premium product at a great price. Highly recommend Viva Instruments for anyone looking for reliable tools!

Very good customer service

I purchased a piece of equipment that was faulty. The company replaced the item promptly and courteously, with the identical model that worked perfectly.

Scratched, tarnished and not in a new condition

Viva Instruments had very good reviews and I was looking forward to receiving my thinning scissors. I was so disappointed when they arrived. They were scratched, tarnished and the cutting blade was distorted so that the bite was not complete along the full length of the blades. Hardly a precision instrument and I do not believe the scissors were in a new condition. Upon raising this with Viva they immediately refunded the full price paid, which I appreciated, however this does not detract from the disappointment I experienced in both the scissors themselves and the Company who were clearly happy to send them out in that condition. I will never use Viva Instruments again

Dear Customer,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that the scissors you received did not meet your expectations. As soon as you contacted us, we immediately issued a full refund within minutes and did not ask you to return the item, as we wanted to resolve the matter as quickly and fairly as possible.

As we mentioned in our email, we only had one pair of that particular item left in stock, so unfortunately, we were unable to offer you a replacement. We understand your disappointment, but we hope it’s clear that we acted promptly and in good faith to make things right.

We are very proud of our reputation and the many positive reviews we’ve received, and we regret that your experience did not reflect the standard we strive for. Your feedback is important to us, and we will continue to improve to ensure this does not happen again.

Kind regards,
The Viva Instruments Team

Shop states it was delivered but not the case.
I have 3 security cameras covering the front of the house and can verify no delivery. Also checked mailbox and nothing there either.
Update: Viva Instruments acknowledge shipment still in transit and advise that delivery should occur this week. Time will tell.

Pleasantly surprised with value and quality

After disappointment with another supplier, I wanted to try somewhere new. I found Viva online, was impressed by the range, and ordered 2 sets of clippers as a trial. They arrived in very quick time, were excellent quality, and much better than more expensive clippers I had been using. I would definitely recommend based on this purchase alone.
