Ron Smith poor service.

Ron Smith, great at selling things to you but useless at after sales care.
Brand new Echo strimmer supplied by RS used 3 times developed a running fault. RS took a £40 deposit to look at it. They decided it was a fuel issue which had caused damage to the carburettor so outside warranty. £214 quoted to fix
I took it away bought a £12 replacement carburettor refuelled and it’s running brilliantly! 10 minute REALLY EASY FIX!
Not the first time I’ve had issues with RS but it will be the last. Avoid is my advice. Plenty of other dealers in Herefordshire!

Incorrect product

I had order a part and not understanding properly the part was incorrect.

I emailed the shop explaining what I intended to do and it wasn’t possible.
They said return which I did with a full refund no problem at all.

Fantastic customer service, others could learn from these.

Thank you for the advice

Very poor customer service

Very poor customer service. Not willing to admit their mistakes. Blatantly misleading trading practices (mis-selling products). Genuinely, one of the worst companies I've had the misfortune of dealing with.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear you were disappointed with the delivery experience. Standard pallet deliveries are normally booked in directly with the customer, and our records indicate this was done by the courier in this instance, so we’re sorry if the delivery arrangements were not communicated as expected.

Your advice was spot on and you fitted my robot Husqvarna mower, which works well and gives me peace of mind that my lawn looks good without employing others to cut my lawn. Your staff were helpful and very efficient. Thank you

Thank you for your feedback. At the time of ordering, we advised on our website that we were experiencing higher-than-usual demand, which was affecting dispatch times. We appreciate your patience and are pleased that, since then, we have made improvements which have significantly reduced our delivery times.
