1 item missing but resolved immediately. Could do with some more dims on website. Word search was not brilliant but found part numbers on another website to find what I needed. Good range of parts and good availability.

Online ordering.

This may seem harsh, but the IT is awful, I did not get a receipt for my purchase, except from PayPal, only after a week of not having any correspondence, and not having received my purchase did I get a receipt.
I was also told on the phone that my purchase was with the courier, and they would chase it up. But nobody bothered.
The next day I went online armed with my order number, and was told it was out of stock, waiting on new stock coming in. Some honesty at last, I told I should receive my purchase tomorrow 29 May 2018.
This is the second order I had to wait over a week for with no information provided about the delay unless I contact them. I was wondering if they were trustworthy, they seem to be, but need to sort out the stock control and order system. They also should should also create links between items that should be sold together, to make sure you get everything you need in one go. I ordered a 4 burner drip tray, and only when it arrived did I realise I needed to order the fat catcher separately. They charged me £10 postage for the tray and another £4 postage for the fat collector, and I have had to wait over a month to get what I need. Hence the poor rating.
I'm not a happy bunny. I Should have gone elsewhere.

Thank you for your time to review Tim. We agree we could have fulfilled the orders in a smoother and faster manner for you and appreciate your patience whilst waiting for the grease collector.

Your first order placed on the 7th May took 9 days to arrive, and your second order on 16th May took 13 days to arrive as we were pending stock. Both orders were fulfilled within a 22 day time frame. We agree that these orders took too long to arrive to you, and as we have already done directly to you, we apologise for that delay. We also appreciate that we should have communicated the out of stock item more clearly to you and we upgraded the delivery manner of that item to get you the fastest delivery we could.

With regards IT it is important that we clarify that both orders had a payment receipt immediately sent via your payment service of preference (paypal), and an order confirmation detailing the part ordered was also sent on both occasions - unfortunately we are not able to control outside email delivery services but a repeat order confirmation was sent to you when we were made aware that you had not received yours.

Bug Spares

Purchased a Beefeater part. The wrong part had been packaged by the manufacturer. Australian BBQ quickly sorted the problem. Good customer service.

Incompetent and rude

Ordered a spare part for my BBQ, over a period of 3 weeks the delivered the same item 3 times,’each time it was damaged beyond use. They attempted to tell me that the problem was not of their making although they had packed it and sent it by their courier.
Customer service rep was rude and arrogant.
They unilaterally cancelled the order and MD did not answer my mail.
If you can spend your money elsewhere.

Thank you for your review. It is correct that 1 of the 4 parts in your order was damaged whilst the other three arrived promptly and undamaged.
As we acknowledged to you repeatedly, we understood there was an issue getting one of the parts you ordered to arrive undamaged and after trying different methods of packing it still did not arrive successfully to you. We acknowledged this and provided a refund for that item. Our customer service rep Maja remained calm and factual at all times during tumultuous discussions.
I have added below the email that was sent after we had to cancel that part of your order.

Dear Mr O,
I just wanted to follow up with regards recent communications with our company to confirm that your refund was made in full to you on 16th May.
Whilst we have endeavoured to send out the grease tray successfully to you on three occasions we have been disappointed to hear it has arrived damaged each time.
As the UKs main provider of BeefEater spare parts we do our best to fulfil every order, including the despatch of many grease trays that arrive undamaged, however on this occasion the damage that is occurring in third party transit has not met the standards required for transport and for this we apologise.
I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge your request for the customer service manager to call you on Friday 11th May. On that date we were not able to arrange for the call to take place, however we could have made a follow up call to you on the Monday and we apologise for not ensuring that happened.
Following your comments in your email we would also like to take this opportunity to confirm that Maja did everything she was able to ensure the grease tray did arrive to you successfully, and we fully support her efforts in that regard.
We are disappointed to not be able to fulfil this order for you but have ensured your refund has been processed without delay.
With best wishes
Craig Ormiston
Director

Easy to order

Easy to order, good range of spares - delivered as promised. Only tiny niggle - could have been better packaged to avoid damage to larger items.

Thank you for your review Andy. We completely understand your frustration with the external courier - we were similarly frustrated by their failure to deliver to you. I understand we did offer a refund after their first failure to deliver and when you subsequently requested one it was made in full on the same day.
We do appreciate your feedback and time to communicate with us about your order.
