LO - thanks Peter

Very accommodating

I've made a couple of orders lately, and have found Socket World to be very helpful. I needed some items shipped early (before they had everything in stock), and they were very good at getting it out to me on short notice. Julian was very helpful at giving me all the information I needed to make my purchasing decisions, even going away and consulting a specialist when I had a particular requirement with regard to underfloor heating.

Not happy

Not happy. They need realtime updates on their website. If they haven't got the stock it should show that, rather than waste my time paying for something they don't have.
Now i have to take timeout to chase them up for a refund.

Hager Switches & Sockets

Bought some Hager switches and sockets from Socket World. I was impressed with the quality of products delivered and the speed of delivery. To boot, I was updated each time progress was made in delivering these items.

Long delivery timeliness

Site has great selection. However site is not easy to navigate. Also you pay a lot for express delivery, which you have no option not to choose, however it takes 10 days to dispatch it, so don't expect your order anytime soon.

Hi Alex, Apologies, we are beholden to lead times from manufacturers and use DPD's next working day delivery option to minimise any further shipping delays.

Excellent service

Excellent choice of products. I managed to find the exact switches I needed. Ordering, communication, packaging and delivery were perfect. A small issue was very quickly identified and resolved by the company. Very happy with my purchase. Many thanks.
