While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

These guys suck

These guys suck! they seem to have decent stock but the shipping costs are out of control. I bought two small valves and paid £30 shipping. After contacting support after the fact they said there was nothing that could be done and I should have contacted support before finalising the order. Like most people will do that while online shopping. I was told I should not have checked the "residential address" option, even though it was to a residential address. I should have been psychic while shopping. Terrible user experience. I'll be searching hard for alternative supplier in the future.

Advertise products not in stock. 40% charge to return

Advertise products not in stock.
Then charge you 40% to return if incorrect. In my case this was hundreds of pounds.
Poor attitude in communication with pretend deadlines and absolutely no help whatsoever.

Take my advice and shop with a bigger known company with a proper returns policy and ACTUAL stock.
The worst transaction of my career.

Should’ve just stuck with RS components like normal.

This is a back street outfit with limited / no stock and a terrible attitude to customers.

Trust me, shop elsewhere.

Having to claw my money back now through my credit card company.

Thank you for your feedback.

We’re sorry to hear that you had such a negative experience as our team is dedicated to providing excellent customer service.
Our inventory changes rapidly and in this current climate and with a massive range of valves available, from time to time some items may be on a lead-time and built to order. This would have been informed by our sales team and you would have had the option to cancel or wait.

In this instance you decided to wait, upon receiving the valves and going to install them, you realised that you had ordered incorrectly. Our terms and conditions which clearly state a restocking charge may be applicable, need to be agreed before an order can even be placed, which you agreed to.

Even RS components in their terms and conditions state that a re-stocking charge may be applied.

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact us on 01822 855600 and our MD will be happy to talk with you.
