Husband ordered product with (at least one) back-up phone call to clarify that it was correct item for our purpose. It is not correct item, however, as the tradesman has torn the outer cardboard cover... See more

Not as good as they used to be

The old HIE used to get my order to me the next day or definately the day after. The orders now seen to take a week or just over. When I order something it is because I need it asap. The prices are still veery competative though.

Not delivered as stated on web site

I was expecting this to be dispatched the next day. It had not arrived several days later and when I phoned it was not possible to give me an update on progress as their computer was "down". Instead of promising to call me back when the information was available I was told to ring again. The pump turned up two days afetr my call

Poor - didn't fulfil required delivery timescale and didn't communicate - had to purchase elsewhere!

I ordered on line and website advised product was to be delivered in 1/2 days. When item hadn't arrived in three I contacted to chase up and was advised that it had to be ordered and it may be available in a further 5/6 days. This was no good to me I had arranged for it to be fitted days before that. It's normal practise that if a company is unable to fulfil the declared timescale they should communicate with customer to determine how they would like to proceed - not just to take the money and assume that's ok?? When I became aware of the delay I asked for the order to be cancelled and my money to be refunded immediately - no response to 2 e-mails so I called and the staff member (although polite) advised that they hadn't actioned the e-mails due to tech problems and product was already on its way. I therefore had the inconvenience of having to return the item - as they then advised they would refund my money. I asked that they confirm this when it had been done ...... still waiting! If you have time to get the runaround ..... feel free to use this company!

Appaling service, would never use again

I placed a order on Sunday expecting a delivery on the Tues as it said 1 - 2 days delivery. By the Friday evening it had still not appeared so when I contacted them, they were really unhelpful, said they had stock issues and the computer systems were down and suggested to call back the following week. I purchased from elsewhere and the product from them has still not even turned up when is now the following sat, (2 weeks) even though they have taken my money. I strongly recommend you do not use them as the seem to be a bunch of incompetent scammers. If the product does not appear in a few days I will be requesting a refund. So to recap, stay away, do not use them, unhelpful, no stock, the worst company I have dealt with for years. I buy a lot of products on-line but never again from this crock of crap.

Didn't inspire me with confidence

These days, when I order something on the web I expect prompt service and to be kept informed of likely dispatch and delivery dates. All I got was e-mail confirmation of the order. After 5 days I had to chase them, only to be informed their computer systems were down and my order could not be checked. I had to ring them again to chase two days later, to be told my order was awaiting delivery from their supplier but expected shortly. I asked them to ring me to confirm its arrival (or not) the following day but no phone call came by the agreed time and yet again I had to chase - to be told.I had ring back later to confirm dispatch to me. Poor customer service in this day and age.

Fast, efficient service and great prices

Having searched the web for Saniflo products, I came across this website. They offer a great range of products at extremely competitive prices (lots of other retailers couldn't get close to the prices offered here), so I ordered with confidence. My item turned up 2 days later, just as promised - even before the plumber!

Great prices and helpful staff

I ordered two Franke peak sinks from The Plumbing Shop. The prices were the cheapest on the internet and ordering was easy. My only niggle was that delivery was said to be 1-3 days and I had to make an enquiry after 3 days as to when the delivery would occur (so maybe an update on anticipated delivery could be sent to customers). That said, the items arrived in perfect condition 2 days thereafter and Harley was extremely helpful in communicating the times of delivery. I would thoroughly recommend.

Cheapest price I could find

Cheapest price I could find and delivery was prompt. The only minor issue is that I would have appreciated an email notification that the goods had been despatched and when I could expect them.

Great shop let down by poor comunication

I have used this company for years but lately they seem to have taken there eye off the ball.

The new website is harder no navigate than the old one. I also ordered a shower that would normally arive in 2-3 days took over a week i was not at any point made aware of this delay until i called to ask what had happened.

I had ro pass this delay on to my customer which made me look bad.

I expect a bit more from a company that i regually spend alot of money with!

As reliable as ever

As a plumbing and heating engineer I need a reliable supplier with good prices. For many orders over several years, HIE have always satisfied, with good support and reliable and quick deliveries. There was a short period of 6 months where the prices seemed to rise noticeably above competitors, but this seems to have dropped back to a satisfying norm. I have no reservations in using them again, although I won't necessarily assume they are the cheapest.
