Cooksongold Reviews 

I've gone to Cooksongold many times now and I still love walking into the shop in Birmingham's Jewellery quarter. Always stocked up, always fantastic quality, the staff are friendly and helpful and make the effort.
I also like the demo area with the bench set up, it makes me want to buy more tools :D
When I've ordered Bullion or Wire it has always come at the correct length weight and size so its a place i can trust.
If you order anything on the website the packages turn up in biodegradable bags which is a bonus and effort is made to reduce the waste.
I give Cooksongold 5/5

I placed my first order and realised within the hour that I had mistakenly ordered two of the same tool. I had taken it out of twee basket but my laptop crashed and when I refreshed the page I didn't notice it had put the tool back in. I immediately emailed them and told them of my error, whereby I was told t he y couldn't take it out as it was already packaged! Less than an hour after the order was placed they insist they will charge me and I can pay to return it. Disgusted and will never order again

I've only just got into jewellery making but have had several orders from Cooksongold which have all arrived very quickly indeed. I'm disappointed with one hammer but this may be down to my lack of experience. Everything else has been excellent.
Also, the website is easy to use and on the one occasion I had cause to ring them the lady I spoke to was very friendly and helpful so it's nearly a win win situation! The vast number of incessant e-mails is the only reason I have knocked it down a star. I could understand their offers for Black Friday but then they went on and on and when I received yet another on Christmas Day it was the final straw and I unsubscribed.

What is going on with company! I have been a customer for 30 years. Nobody is interested. Nobody calls you back or replies to emails.

I recently placed an order on Cooksongold. I was starting to get worried because my order kept not arriving, so I checked into my order status and noticed that my chubby fingers had entered the wrong postal code - the last digit was wrong.
Obviously this means the Danish postal service with their 0 flexibility approach will most likely eventually return the order. So I contacted Cooksongold to ask if they had gotten the order back yet.
They had not, but they went ahead and marked down that the order should be shipped to me again to the correct address if(when) it does return to them.
The mistake was 100% mine yet they stepped up and went out of their way to assist me. This is what I would consider really great service.

I don't know what all the negative feedback I see is about, but I can only say good things here.

My order was 'lost' in the post although no proof of postage was supplied. After about 5 emails they finally resent my order. I kindly asked them to send the new order via a tracked service and was ignored. More than once.
It's so boring having to keep chasing a company and doing their job for them. Wont be purchasing from here again.

Used twice now for a big bag of finished jewellery items. The products and prices are very decent, range quite small but plenty good enough - would use again. They behave more like a wholesaler, which they kind of are, so everything comes in mini self-seal bags packed in more self seal bags dropped in a jiffy bag. Lots of not very eco packaging waste, not much protection for delicate items

Easy to navigate website, everything that I could possibly need. The delivery came earlier than I expected. The order was correct and all the pieces arrived. Good prices and good products.

Sorry you 5 starrers but listen to this little beauty.I placed an order for an 8 claw platinum setting on a Friday,bearing in mind that the job had to be ready for the following Saturday. The setting duly arrived on the Tuesday but it had 6 claws.After a phone call a replacement was promised and on Thursday guess what arrived? Yep another 6 claw.So another call and the conclusion reached was that the wrong items were in the bin and yet another replacement was promised and I even had the benefit of a call from CPM in the afternoon confirming that they did have the right setting in stock and I would have it on the Friday morning,wonderful I thought.
Friday arrived an so did the setting from CPM ,hmmm,now my readers,can you launch a guess as to how many claws this latest arrival had,here's a clue ,pick a number between 5 and 7.At which point it was too late to get a replacement from anyone who actually knows what they're doing.I ended up having to make 1 myself on Friday evening.I sent all 3 settings back with a stinging letter which quite obviously didn't make it past the postroom .CPM have had their settings back since 24/9/18 and today 19/10/18 they have had the temerity to call me saying I only returned 2 settings and they want paying for the third,I told them where to go.So no, not a 5 star company

What a great shame that a few customers seem to have chosen Trust Pilot to give bad reviews when literally thousands of 5 Star reviews appear on other feedback sites. I have ordered many times and have always had exceptional service. The price is always the best. The quality is always the best, and delivery has always been next day.

Thank you Cookson for being a very special 5 Star company. I would recommend them without any reservations whatsoever.

Having carried out extensive research into Foredom Pendant Motor drills I decided to purchase the Foredom SR Pendant motor with quick release handset and accessories from Cooksongold. I ordered the item during the day of 02 August 2018 and the item arrived just after 1100hrs the following day via courier safely packed and marked up as a fragile parcel. The item was the best price I could find and Cooksongold stock a good range of Foredom items at competitive prices. This is the first purchase I have made from Cooksongold and I am completely satisfied all aspects of the service. I will use this company again.

Disappointment today. Cooksons advertising all over website 10% discount on silver clay - except at check out I'm charged same price as always. Phone to enquire & told I already get that discount as I'm a customer! Asked to speak to manager- get 'cut off' immediately...phone back, get same guy! He doesn't know complaints email "it's on the website"!
Shame! The age old we treat our non-customers but not the ones that spend thousands every year with us!

I purchased a few tools from Cookson Gold
No problems with the tools or the delivery but subsequently I was bombarded with junk emails, far more than any other supplier
I tried 'unsubscribe' 3 times - no effect
5 or 6 emails - no effect
2 phone calls - no effect
Only after the 3rd call when I demanded to speak to a manager, and got rather annoyed did they stop.
Normally I would buy from them again, but now that is most unlikely

Cooksongold gets a lot of stick but they produce quality materials and deliver sterling silver grain at the lowest price ive found online. i've literally bought hundreds of pounds worth of the stuff.

My small gripe is the delivery.. its well packaged and is usually tracked which is great but if you could offer free delivery to anyone spending over £50 for example i would be spending over 50 each time i order (which i do anyway)
just a thought.

See you soon,

Mike

Love cookson gold,
I have fiund them to be very consistent and reliable.
Deliver hard to source metals!

Cookson is actually good, good value and good range. Went on the site at 00:17 and made a basket for the value of £200+. Then I see a FB post of a free postage offer- valid until...12 midnight...Not a problem, the basket is mostly Impressart which is available on Amazon at or around the same price and that which is expensive compared to Cookson will be bought when the next offer code is about.

The free postage thing is a pain. Either offer free postage over £25 or don't. Twice now if missed the free postage offer by minutes. I'll go somewhere else for my stuff (Betts ect).

Secondly and this has taken the star from 2 to 1 (0 if I could) is the scrap service. To gain the trade price you must have a VAT number. So as far as Cooksons is concerned, no VAT number or small business- screw you. I'll take my metal somewhere else also. Disappointing.

Most appalling customer service we have ever received! Repeated failures to deliver our order over a 3-week period, causing us substantial business damage. They have been avoiding issue a refund (allegedly on its way now), no formal complaints procedure, they would not let us speak to a supervisor...I am tempted to see what interest the small claims court might have in listening to our story...

Fast delivery but that is the only positive I can say. I spent £32 on a necklace from Cooksongold which was advertised as sterling silver. What has arrived is a cheap plastic necklace in a small clear bag. Not even in a gift box (which I would expect for that price). This necklace is worth about £2 and looks so cheap and tacky. This will be returned. First and last time I will be using this company.

Great customer service, Caroline has been a great help when my parcel was mislaid another was sent with no problems, thankyou Caroline

I use Cookson quite often, they carry some hard to find items I just cannot locate with US suppliers. Easy to deal with, shipping is economical and I have never had an issue with any of my orders.
