Selection of Molymod kits for teaching chemistry arrived 2 days after processing to the very north of Scotland. All were in stock and in perfect condition on arrival. Excellent selection of Molymod kits and online site easy to use and Molymod kits less expensive than anywhere else. Order more kits, as was impressed with their service.

THANKYOU

I am so grateful for the hard work and amazing help from Jess in customer service. Jess has managed to source me some hard to find spare parts for some of our equipment. This has been such a refreshing and friendly experience and can't thank Jess enough. I am really pleased I can try and repair things instead of having to dispose of and replace. Will definately use better equipped in the future with this level of service THANKYOU

Great customer service!

I placed an order with BE and within minutes customer service replied letting me know that what I had ordered was in stock and marked my order as urgent as I needed some chemicals by the end of the week. This is what customer service should be like. Other companies need to take note!

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. Not only have we been very happy with the quality and price of all the products we have purchased, but the customer service is outstanding. Jess Thornton kept in communication with me regarding a certificate of analyses that I was looking for. Jess went to great lengths to chase the certificate so that we had it in time for an audit, Jess chased the supplier and kept me updated at all time points to ensure we had this information. 100% would recommend using better equipped, I plan on purchasing more of our consumables from them in the future. Very happy customer.

When some of the multimeters we bought were faulty Alisha from Better Equipped was very quick to arrange for them to be picked up and fixed/replaced. We received the replacements promptly and they are all working correctly.
