Absolutely first rate after-sales…

Absolutely first rate after-sales customer service. I had a warranty failure, and the way it was dealt with was excellent - their communication all the way through was faultless, and they swiftly arranged a swap. They even phoned me when the replacement was going to be delayed by 24 hours to let me know, and to check whether the following day would be a problem, or if I needed to change where the swap was going to be done. Can't praise them highly enough - and the prices I had paid were also extremely competitive. I will return to this shop without hesitation.

Just contacted security warehouse to chase an order I placed on 11th December to be told it hasn't even been posted ,this review was done on 18th December this is a company who say orders are posted within 1-3 days ,I cancelled the order .

Good company to order from I don't think so

Good prices, prompt delivery, great service

Bought a system which was customised and delivered as promised. I then managed to forgot the password which caused various issues, but I received very prompt and helpful directions (and a lot of patience)throughout the process of sorting out the problem.

Satisfied....

Satisfied....

Based on the reviews here, I was a little nervous when placing my order however, as their price on an alarm keypad was the cheapest around, I thought I'd give them a go.

Unfortunately, as this was my first order with them, I couldn't have a different delivery address to the billing address which is what I had done when placing the order. Within an hour of ordering, I was informed of the issue via emqil. Having used their live chat, the issue was resolved within a few minutes and was back on track.

The update system on their site was informative throughout with order updates.
I selected a 1 hour time slot delivery. Item arrived within 2 days of placing my order.
Please with the item, pleased with the service. What more can I ask for.

No Support or advice!!

Asked what sounders they had in stock for via the chat and hit the wall of ask on the forum !! So you can not ask about any thing they sell you have to ask the forum. So will take the custom to another company.

Good prices, support worse

Good prices, fast delivery. However when it came to the situation I needed some technical advice about the purchased product then I hit the wall! When I called their number and choose technical support I had been told by machine to go to the website. So I did. I wrote short description in enquiries and next day I had the answer that if I need any technical advice I should contact product manufacturer. Guess if the manufacturer's number was in the message or I had to look for it myself....
Not a total fail but with little effort they could do much better...

Security Warehouse

Have found Security Warehouse to be very helpful, getting in special order items, combining orders etc.
I would have no problem recommending them to others

Very good

Good prices, never had any issues and have done 15+ orders for a fair quantity of parts.

Their sites a bit dated but who cares they have a good range at good prices.

Was sceptical after reading the reviews …

Was sceptical after reading the reviews here and that was after I had ordered.

However ordered on Thursday and the order arrived the following Tuesday. Yes 3 of the items were out of stock but they emailed me in time meaning I had enough time to order from elsewhere. Happy to recommend. To top it off the refund was done quickly.

Do not trust advertised price..

Do not trust advertised price..

This company advertised one price, took payment then said that the price had escalated and they had run out of stock so they cancelled the order. They did apologise, but I am left late on the order. They did refund me (they had no choice!). Note part 13 of their T&C.

I've had other products from the company which made false claims of specifications or capabilities so do your homework first before ordering and don't assume you will get the item for the advertised price.

Dear Curt,

As advised in your communication with us the day you placed your order, we did show that we had the item ordered in stock, and it was only when picking your order it was discovered that the stock level was incorrect. In trying to fulfill your order and placing a new purchase order, we were advised of the large price increase, and while it was our computer error, due to this large increase we could not offer at the advertised price on this occasion.
However you have also commented here regarding previous orders from us "Making False Claims", sadly I can only find you have placed this one order with us, so please advise order numbers, or different account details, so I may look into this. Please provide these personal details through your previous communication channel.

Kind Regards

Very slow service

Very slow service - took forever for the order to arrive. The customer service representative may as well be a bot with a pre-programmed response - just keeps repeating the line from the website that orders are normally dispatched within 5 days.

I normally order from Alert Electrical and would highly recommend them instead.

Dear Rodney,
I am sorry to hear you have found our service to be slow. I have tried to look into your order to find out if there was any reason for the order to take such a long time to get to you. However sadly have been unable to locate your order.
If you are able to provide further information, I will be able to look into this and advise.
I can assure you our chat, tickets and emails are all responded to by humans.
Was there a reason you had chosen to use us on this occasion and not use the company you have recommended?
Please send details to info@securitywarehouse.co.uk

Kind Regards

Never again from this seler beware.

I purchased a faulty Texecom elite panel in Feb 2014 from this seller and could never make contact with them over a 3 week period to resolve this issue. I ended up buying another panel at full cost . No answer from tel or email and their supposed forum was closed.
Texecom eventually recompensed me after showing them the receipts and paperwork.
