Excellent service

very quick delivery, and the product was as specified, at two-thirds the lowest price I could find elsewhere. I will certainly use Online Power Tools again.

Ordered PZ2 screw bits, received PH2 screw bits instead. Received correct bits after paying p&p.

Will not use again. If they can't get a simple thing like screw bits right, I would not trust them sending correct items in the future. Bit miffed at paying p&p charges to return incorrect items, as it was their mistake in the first place.

Dear Customer

Sorry for the delay.

As your purchase was supplied direct from one of our suppliers we had very little control over your order.

Please do call us next time if you require live stock update before you order.

Kind Regards

Believes in good service.

The best way to judge a company is how it deals with issues when things do not go as expected. I recently ordered an item from them which was lost by the courier. Once Online Power Tools were alerted to this fact it was investigated and a new delivery despatched the same day. i was kept fully informed of what was happening and said part arrived the next day.
No quibbling just excellent sevice.
