Have used the Plymstock shop many times…


Have used the Plymstock shop many times over the years, always our first place to go!
Dave’s discount deals are always very competitive and the delivery guys had our old washing machine out and the new one fitted and working in no time.
Thanks again for your excellent service!!

Help with Sony TV

On two separate occasions I have needed assistance with My Sony TV having caused the faults accidentally myself.
On the first occasion Ben sorted the problem and yesterday Collin,with great patience steered me through the many options and and corrected the errors. Such a relief to have it all perfect once more!

Excellent customer service!

In a world where good customer service is increasingly hard to find, the guys at Beacon Electrical in Totnes are a shining example of how to get it right. Not only were they patient and helpful, they were able to sell me the exact item I’d been looking for (but which had been sold out everywhere else) and at a fantastic price.
I have been going to Beacon electrical for years and will definitely continue to do so. I can definitely recommend them.

Superb delivery and the highest…

Superb delivery and the highest professional standards from the two guys who installed the cooker.
Could not fault these two and they are a credit to BE.
If the cooker is as good then all will be a wonderful experience.
Thank you. M. Palmer

Beacon Electrical’s Totnes Branch

A great experience with helpful, knowledgeable staff. Many thanks to Matt for getting us a good deal on our washing machine. Additionally, the extra charge for delivery, installation and removal the old machine was well worth it. The delivery team very diligently cleaned marks from the floor and spent time lining integrated door panels perfectly. Very happy to come home and find a perfectly installed washing machine.

Good prices and great service

Best price of product I could find anywhere, and great service.

Quick phone calls to me from friendly real human people, just to check in on the details and to let me know when delivery would be happening.

Just for awareness - free delivery doesn't actually include all parts of the UK and there's a £20 surcharge for national delivery - but I feel this is entirely reasonable and delivery all went like clockwork.

It's usually price OR service - but it's great to get both in one package!

Great service

My washing machine broke a few days before Christmas.
I phoned and spoke to Cavan in the Kingsbridge branch and he went through some options and ordered one for me.
He did his best to see if they could fit in a delivery before Christmas, but there was nothing available, so he booked me in for the 28th, which was great.
On the day of delivery, the team phoned when they were on their way to let me know they would be arriving soon. They installed it and put on a test wash to make sure it was all running okay and they took the old one away.
Great service all the way. Very friendly helpful team. Thank you

This is a product which is very popular and most suppliers were out of stock

Beacon said they would have it back in stock within 3 weeks. Their price was one of the most competitive and they posted for free .. from Devon to Norfolk.

Moreover they called me personally within a day of my order to reassure
me about the order and delivery.

Dehumidifier has arrived, well packed and works well. This - refreshingly - feels like good old fashioned customer care of old.

Bravo Beacon.

Next-level customer service, can't recommend enough!

I am so grateful I found this company; their customer service is absolutely fantastic. I've had the absolute best experience with these guys ordering an oven just before Christmas. They always answered the phones quickly and sorted any issues or queries I had.

They even emailed me before I had managed to make the purchase when I had payment issues. I then had an issue with the oven (absolutely nothing to do with them, manufacturer's fault), which they sorted out for me in under 15 minutes. It's genuinely made my day how well it's all been dealt with and how stress-free they've made things.

I hope the owner of this company appreciates how lucky he is to have such great staff. It's so incredibly rare to deal with businesses these days that still give this much attention to each individual customer. I cannot recommend these guys enough; I will be going straight to these guys for anything else I need in the future based on the customer care alone.

Good product range and helpful staff

We bought our new fridge freezer from Beacon Electrical. They had the one we wanted, made our purchase really easy with delivery at a convenient time, all for a good price. The staff have good product knowledge, are polite and helpful and took great care on delivery. Couldn’t ask for more from our local electrical shop.

I would have given zero stars

I would have given zero star if I could.
I ordered a washer dryer which stated in stock and was booked for delivery. I get a text the day before the item is meant to be delivered to say no stock I am now without a washing machine and have a 6 month old. When I called Beacon they didnt seemed bothered and just blamed their supplier and it isn't their fault. Now I have to wait for their supplier to cancel the order before refunding me so will have to wait longer for my refund.
When it says they have items in stock they don’t they contact their suppliers after taking your money to see if they can source them. NOT HAPPY. Do not trust them !!!!!

Reply from Beacon Electrical

Good morning Hannah,

We can only apologies that there has been an issue with your order, when you placed your order we had confirmation of delivery for the 14th this model was showing as in stock and is shipped directly from Hotpoint, unfortunately there appears to have been an issue with stock on pick resulting in the call yesterday this is obviously highly frustrating and upsetting as you are being let down at the last minute and to clarify we were only informed after you had been called. Our delivery team apologised and offered to look at alternative models which may have been viable but you have requested to cancel your order and be refunded which we have done with immediate effect, the processing time is standard for all card transactions but rest assured it has been processed immediately from our side.
We always take customer feedback seriously and never what to let a customer down, unfortunately in this case the manufacturer has had a stock issue, we can only apologies again for the inconvenience.

Kind regards Beacon Electrical
