Not too bad for the products themselves but the bottle sprayer and lids on their spray cans are terrible.
The monkey juice spray bottle leaks all over your hands and the silicone spritz can sprays out the side of the lid as well as out the nozzle. Unless I just have a bad batch?

Very disappointed with the mystery box
Very disappointed with the large mystery box I received yesterday.
I think you really need to ask customers a few more questions before sending these out, simple things like whether they run tubeless or tubed tyres would make a big difference. As it stands, I’ve received a lot of items that just aren’t suitable for my setup, and some of it looks like stock that’s been sitting on the shelf for a while.
There’s no Grime Guard included, just basic cleaning products, and not even any brushes. Instead, I’ve ended up with a cheap bike lock and a saddle bag, which makes no sense for what I actually need or what you advertise to be in the boxes!
Overall, it feels very poor value for money and, honestly, quite misleading. Looking at other feedback on Facebook, it seems like this is a common experience. Don’t go for it you will regret it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and we are sorry to hear you are disappointed with your Stash Box.
Our Stash Boxes are curated to offer a broad range of products with a variety of both maintenance products and accessories.
Unfortunately, the “blind buy” nature, which is specific to the Stash Box options means that not every item within will be usable by every recipient, but the savings on the bundle are such that even if you don't find everything to be useful, the bundle still represents great value.
We cannot tailor this product to each customer, as it is designed as a mystery buy. However if you do require specific items – please do check out our range of great value bundles which should fulfil any of your requirements – especially the Build-Your-Own Bundle.
We appreciate your feedback and do take this on board as we continue to improve our offerings. If you require further assistance with this order, please contact our support team at info@tru-tension.co.uk with your order number, and we’ll make this a priority to resolve properly for you.
Value and quality for your money.
Bought a bundled pack along with additional disc lock. Have used everything other than a couple of the cleaning items.
The motorbike cover is of excellent quality, great size and worth the money. Don't by cheap, get yourself one of these.

Excellent customer service
I had a large order of Christmas presents from Tru-Tension. There was a delay due to stock issues, they were very responsive when I enquired about the delay and marked my order for express delivery, as I had a deadline to meet.
The parcel arrived on-time, unfortunately the DPD drive threw it at the ground outside my house, which split some of the contents, which meant I couldn't gift them as planned.
I complained to DPD and reported it to Tru-Tension. Again, their excellent customer service shone threw as they shipped replacements within days. EXCELLENT customer service, will definately use them again

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re really sorry again about the handling of your parcel by DPD, but we’re glad we were able to get replacements out to you quickly and help save the situation.
It means a lot to hear that our customer service made a positive difference, especially with a time-sensitive Christmas order. Thank you for your understanding and support, we truly appreciate it and look forward to serving you again in the future.
Great service from Tru-Tension
I haven't used this company before so I was a little apprehensive but I needn't have worried. I placed my standard order for a small mystery box on Wednesday and it has been delivered today - Sunday. This is great delivery service and I think the fastest delivery I have received, especially during this busy Christmas period. I appreciate it is a mystery box and with mystery boxes anywhere, such as A or the lost property ones you can buy, they are always a gamble and should be treated as such - the fun is seeing what is inside them. However, I haven't opened it because whatever is in there would be a total mystery for me as I am not a biker so I wouldn't know whether its contents are good or not so good - its a stocking filler for someone. The box measures 230X300X90 so a little larger than I was expecting too. Very pleased with service, the packaging, the box and whatever is in there, and I am sure the recipient will be pleased too. Thank you to the team at Tru-Tension.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review and for giving us a try, we’re really glad to hear we exceeded your expectations, especially during such a busy Christmas period.
It’s great to know the delivery speed, packaging, and overall experience impressed you. You’re absolutely right about mystery boxes being part of the fun, and we hope the recipient enjoys discovering what’s inside just as much as we enjoyed putting it together.
Thank you again for your kind words and support, it truly means a lot to the whole Tru-Tension team.
Poor communication, poor customer service,did not ship correct order.
Poor communication. They didn’t reply to my messages asking when my order would be shipped. Then they shipped only one part of the bundle I ordered. Took a long time to receive it.
Avoid!

We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback. This isn’t the level of service we aim to provide.
We’d like to look into what happened with your messages and the split shipment, as bundles should be clearly communicated if items ship separately. Delays and lack of response are understandably frustrating, and we apologise for that.

Take your cash and run
Ordered a mystery box two weeks ago.
They stated it had gone to Evri and was then delayed.
I’ve emailed 5 times and zero response.
Nothing delivered and I’m fifty quid down.
This company is a scam and I’m seeking legal advice.

We’re sorry to hear how frustrating this experience was and understand why you felt concerned. We’d like to clarify that we did respond to your emails, however it appears our replies were not being received and may have been filtered into a junk or spam folder.
Once you reached out to us via social media, we were able to make contact straight away, investigate the issue, and resolve it quickly. A replacement order was then sent out on a next-day service to ensure you received your items as soon as possible.
We appreciate your patience while this was resolved and regret the worry this situation caused. Feedback like this helps us improve how we communicate and follow up in future.

Just received my grime guard and cleaning kits (bought one for me and one as a gift) all seems good except that there are no rivets included with the Grime Guards to join the top and bottom sections together, therefore they are unusable.

Thanks for your message. Just to clarify, Grime Guards are supplied unassembled and require assembly by the end user. That said, we’re more than happy to help, if you haven’t already, please email info@tru-tension.com

I bought the heavy duty rain cover
Ok so I have bought the heavy duty rain cover for my scooter. I bought a medium to cover my Vespa GTS300 with medium flatscreen and back rest should any
Of you scooter riders need an indication regarding what size to buy. The quality is fab better than my lightweight Oxford. It was sat out last Night in the rain not a problem whatsoever. Only wish was I had gone for large just to give extra ground cover as part of the front wheel and back are exposed. But that’s nothing to do with the company.
