The Mini Manc Bee

The Mini Manc bee was excellent quality and will take pride of place on our fence. The new management team kept us informed of expected delivery date and wish them well in their new venture.

Abysmal customer service

Abysmal customer service. My order hadn’t been dispatched several weeks after the date it was due. No contact whatsoever from the company, and several emails requesting updates have just been ignored. Am now having to dispute the payment with my credit card company.

My second purchase

My second purchase as so happy with it again! Had my last large bee since 2021 and it looks as good today as it did the day I mounted it on the wall outside. Quick delivery and fab item. What's not to like!!

Plaques

Can’t fault this company, purchased two more plaques for my garden wall to go with my bees which I already have. Great service from order to delivery. Can’t wait to see what they do in the future.

United Icon

Excellent service. Happy with product (black devil and trident) but, unlike the Manchester bee, there were no drill holes for hanging.

Disgusting service, quality and delivery

I ordered two Polo Shirts 1 x L and 1 x XL.
The L was bigger than the XL.
Absolutely disgusted with the quality of the merchandise supplied.
As well as being small, the XL was a black shirt and the bee emblem was black. On your website I ordered a black shirt with a WHITE bee.
Also the delivery was three days later than expected and delivered to the wrong house!!! A neighbour brought it to me
Completely disappointed with the quality of service received in all areas.
