“How does one order?”

“Supposedly delivered on Friday but I've been checking for deliveries every day and it has not turned up. Presume it has been delivered to the wrong address as the delivery tracker says it has been delivered. I have checked with neighbours but they haven't received it, considering reordering from another supplier.”

“I paid an increased delivery charge for Saturday delivery. My package arrived Tuesday thereafter. I understand in the current climate that delays can happen, but after asking for a refund on the delivery surcharge via your contact us page, I have been completely ignored for one whole week - unacceptable!”

“Dreadful business. Misleading sales pitch, tie you up into a 3 year contract with extortionate exit fees. Heavy handed, big business tactics, not at all flexible, the worst of the worst. Avoid at all cost. Never again.”

Mr Harvey, We are very confused by your review. Given your comments we suspect you have muddled BES Utilities (Lancashire) with BES in Birmingham. We do NOT sell 3 year contracts with exit fees as we are not an energy provider but a merchant. Please note that these companies are completely separate organisations with similar names. We have checked our database and you do not appear as a customer of BES (Plumbing, heating and gas supplies) so we would appreciate it if you could remove your posted review as it's misleading for our customers. Regards, BES (Birmingham)

“Hi. There were parts missing from the cistern. 1. Pin which held ball cock arm. 2.There was no overflow attachment for the overflow pipe. 3.Wrong handle lever arm (lever arm square hole to small for handle to fit into. I am no plumber,but if I did not have the old tank I was replacing I would have not been able to complete the job which would have left me in a fix. Obviously because of this I can only give negative feedback. I did not get in touch with company I just finished the job and left it at that. I would not use company again as it would be to risky to not have all the parts I would order and pay for.”

“From start to completion a good and comprehensive service. Detailed website shows related products for a project without being obtrusive on the webpage. Used many times for refurbishment and redevelopment projects but have not engaged with customer service : transactions are smooth.”

Dear Customer, We have tried to contact you regarding your order for face masks. Due to the Corona virus there has been an unprecedented surge in demand for this item. Therefore we do not expect stock until the summer. Please contact our customer services if you do not wish to wait until then and we will issue a refund. Regards, BES

Mr Evered, Thank you for your feedback re. delivery Tuesday 21st January. It seems the small reducers you required were not in each of the seven boxes we supplied, which is very unusual. As per your conversations with BES employees on Friday 24th we arranged five replacements (delivered Saturday 25th Jan a.m) We cancelled the remaining two as we did not have the stock to meet your deadline. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. Apologies. BES

Mr Weir, Thank you for your feedback. Please note at the point of ordering our website highlights an 'out of stock' message. Unfortunately the item you ordered took longer than usual to arrive into our warehouse before we delivered. You subsequently returned the item. A refund has been issued and this will reach your bank account in the next 5 working days. Apologies for any inconvenience. Regards, BES

Many thanks for your message. We have called to speak to you today but unfortunately was unable too. Our call was to advise you that the Pump Valve you ordered which was out of stock at point of ordering has been advised to us that stock is due in to us today. We then aim that this will be despatched out to you tonight. Best wishes, BES.

Many thanks for your message. We have tried to speak with you but have been unable too. The pump unfortunately as you are aware has been out of stock. It is hopeful the part will be in stock this week and we will send out as soon as it is. Apologies for this delay. Best wishes, BES.

“We made an order from BES which came damaged, after searching BES's website for contact details they only have a telephone number that rings out for ages and no other form of contact! After finally getting through to an apparent customer service representative I was advised that I could not make a complaint as it was outside their 3 day timescale and they could help me no further. The lady I spoke to Julia was very rude, advised me I could of contacted then via email... no email address on their website and only a no reply email address used for my receipt! The service is shocking, I would never buy from these crooks!”

Dear K Marsden, Thank you for your feedback. We have tried to speak to you regarding the review you posted today. Upon investigation our records show that your order was delivered successfully on 4th December. You then telephoned us on 16th December to report damage to your order i.e the case. (this delay contravenes BES T&C's) We apologise for any offense regarding how Julie spoke to you. We are sorry if she clumsily highlighted BES T&C's, regarding the reporting of any damage to delivered goods. However, as a gesture of goodwill we will be sending you a replacement case. Once again please accept our sincere apologies. Regards, BES
