Super service. They keep you informed when the item is sent to DPD then they keep you informed as regards when it’s going to be delivered. Item was well packaged and the price was cheaper than other... See more

Easy to order, good quick communication, fast delivery, well packaged. Only downside was the courier left it on our doorstep (open to the rest of the industrial unit site) an hour before they said it... See more

Fantastic service! I ordered a circular saw blade and it arrived the next day! So impressed I’ve ordered another one. Thanks Howe Tools Ltd.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Best price I could find, free postage and arrived the next day. Slightly surprised that the battery arrived loose in a box with no packaging at all but I guess they buy in bulk.

Fantastic company to deal with

Fantastic company to deal with, competitive prices and lighting quick delivers. I very rarely rate business however owning retail businesses myself I wanted to take the time as it’s not often you come across such an efficient business!

Dispatched on time but arrived late

The item was dispatched in a very reasonable time. I had opted for next day delivery but unfortunately DPD let the team down again. Their tracking claimed they attempted delivery and no one was home. That’s an outright lie and I have the CCTV to show they never even turned up. It was successfully delivered 3 days later (next working day) but at that point I’d missed the birthday it was for :(
Never contacted Howe Tools about it so I can’t complain about them, just blooming DPD.

Dear Andrew,

We are sorry that there was a problem with the delivery of your order and that you felt our customer service wasn’t up to scratch.

We can see that our courier attempted delivery at 9.49am on 17th April, the day the delivery was due to arrive. Having reviewed the email correspondence and discussed the matter with Martin who dealt with this, I understand that you either didn’t hear the knock on the door or the courier hadn’t knocked on your front door at all.

During your conversation with Martin, you advised that if the order was not delivered on Friday, you would require a full refund. Following this, our power tool experts did everything they could to try and get your Makita circular saw and battery to you and contacted our courier to request that the driver returned to your property that day – DHL said that they would do all they could to return. We then sent you an email at 14:11 to advise you of the conversation with the courier, so you had this in writing. We appreciate, however, that you would have preferred a phone call.

As deliveries can take place up until 9pm - outside of our office hours - Monday morning was the first opportunity for us to confirm whether the delivery had been completed. Regrettably, the driver couldn’t return to your property on Friday evening however every effort was made by our power tool experts to try and get the tools to you, after the first delivery attempt earlier that morning was missed. In line with your request during the initial call, a full refund was processed at 11:55am on Monday 20th April to ensure you got your refund promptly.

I am sorry that you are so upset by the experience and we will be following up with DHL on the service you received, but we do feel it is unfair to say that customer service is non-existent and that service is shocking based on the above.

Kind regards,
The Howe Tools Team

Hi Paul

Thank you for your recent order of the Dewalt spool & line and for leaving us such a great review, but it looks like you’ve given us the wrong star rating! Unless you have given us 1* on purpose, in which case we would love to know how we could improve.

Best regards,
The Howe Tools Team
