Supplier for Farrow and Ball colours - avoid using this company

Supplier for Farrow and Ball colours, however the colour they mixed for us was a very poor match. Completely different colour to both the official Farrow and Ball tester and the F&B colour wheel.
Refused to give refund even though it was their mistake, claiming they ‘tested’ the paint and it was the right colour despite photographic evidence to the contrary!
Often it is when things go wrong that you learn most about a company’s honesty and customer service.
Don’t trust this company if you are looking for a genuine F&B colour as they cannot be trusted to supply the right colour or to deal with their mistake responsibly!

Edit following company reply -
I can confirm that the tester pot was from Farrow and Ball, the replacement paint for the decorators was purchased off the shelf (ready mixed) from B&Q and the colour tester wheel used is the official one purchased direct from Farrow &Ball. All of the colour shades on these products match perfectly, the paint supplied by Paintstop does not, so either all of the reputable company’s shades are incorrect or the customer services at Paintstop are less than truthful about their ‘testing’. I can’t post the photos here to let you make up your own mind, but I will post them on the Farrow and Ball Lovers Facebook page to warn others about purchasing from this company. My advice is just pay a little extra and deal with more reputable companies. I have also requested a return of the paint so that information is also incorrect. As it’s a full pot of 5l, I’ll donate it to a local charity who won’t mind that it’s not a perfect match to the colour it was meant to be.

Reply from Paintstop

Your refund was refused because the colour was tested against a Farrow & Ball tester pot and was found to be exact.

We contacted Farrow & Ball to check the batch number of the base and they confirmed that there had been no other complaints regarding that base against that colour.

It is clearly stated in the listing that mixed paints are a bespoke product and are non returnable.

The photos you supplied to us bare no relation to our test against genuine Farrow & Ball products.

As the correct Farrow & Ball undercoat was not purchased along with the paint we assume that your problem was either an application error or buyers remorse.

We have been in touch to organise the return of your paint but received no reply.

For claritys sake please find a link to the results of our test.

Ordered 2 Sandtex samples

Ordered 2 Sandtex samples, as weren't available in local stores. They arrived well packaged and on time.
Much better than driving around looking for the samples....

My paint was delayed but customer services were great...

Just short of a 5 star review, only because my paint order was inadvertently delayed. The range and prices on offer were absolutely comparable to other large online paint outlets, and in many respects their prices far keener.

Most importantly, the response to my complaint about delivery delays was taken in good heart, and I was refunded my postage cost. Can't ask for more than that, thank you.

Impressive. Great service.

"I’m seriously impressed with PaintStop! My order arrived incredibly fast, and I loved having the flexibility to choose my preferred delivery company at checkout.
I did encounter a minor issue with my order, but this is where they truly shined—the customer service was top-notch, and they resolved everything quickly and professionally. Plus, their prices are significantly more reasonable than many other suppliers I’ve looked at. I’ve already placed my second order. Highly recommended!"

Paint Stop gets full marks on everything.

Full marks to this online shop. The prices are extremely competitive, the range good & delivery fast with very well packed products & no nasty surprise waiting at the checkout. I've lost count of the number of firms who want to slap on delivery charges of £30 or more & don't make it clear at the outset. Paint Stop is perfect for household supplies in an era when even DIY shops have little to show in their stores.

Would definitely use again - fab service

The paint was extremely competitively priced, which was the main reason I chose to purchase from Paintstop. The two tins I ordered on Tuesday arrived by Thursday—very quick delivery.
They were well packaged and arrived in perfect condition.
I would definitely use them again. Fantastic service.
