Have used them a couple of times, if they say they have it in stock, they have it, and their prices are competitive, so will continue to shop there, note you can pick up from there by arrangement.

I ordered an insinkeraytor hot water tank which arrived the following day. I'm very pleased with the product which was very easy to fit in existing place. Excellent Service.

brush cutter was fatly after 2 month of use unable to contact anyone in relation to repair and left e-mail messages . No response. Have been chasing them for one month still no joy. The operators appear to be allusive

Hi Gyan, we are sorry about your experience this time, we investigated your case and found that we arranged the collection with Parcelforce and they attempted the collection a couple of times and you were not at home. I can see on our end that we answered all your emails but I understand that you are looking for a
replacement without return which is out of our policy. We are still happy to collect the parcel and repair/ replace it for you but we need the faulty unit back to us.

Avoid

Ordered a product - said Evri waiting on product but after 2 weeks never updated. Chased on webchat and never got a response. Called a told would get a call back - 5mins later an email to say refund started. No courtesy call to update me on situation or explain why my order wasn’t being processed

Scammers!

They sent me the wrong item, I had to message them multiple times to get a response back when they’d sent me something much cheaper than I’d paid for. Finally, I got a reply which was “we are all human and make mistakes” no apology!
Then instead of getting the toolbag I wanted, they just automatically sent me a refund. At this point I didn’t question it and took my business elsewhere.
However, I have asked numerous times for the £15 postage fee I paid to return the item and NEVER received it from them.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Hi Gemma, we are sorry to hear that. we investigated your case and found that we provided a prepaid return label, not sure why you were asking for £15 postage. unfortunately, our staff are humans and sometimes make mistakes. we refunded you because you asked for it. Apologies for any inconvenience caused

Having ordered from this company, try getting anywhere with their customer service. Totally unimpressed. Will never use again

Having ordered from this company, I kept waiting for the delivery. Kept going onto the tracking link provided. After a week, it still said waiting for the courier to pick up. Unbenown to me, the courier had put it in the bottom of the green bin and put the tray back over the top. No note through door. It got thrown away. Toolshouse now not responding to my e mails. I'm finding it discurteous and unprofessional. I had spoken on the phone and they simply said the e mail link does work. I assured the lady it didn't. Said she would contact the couriers. Still no word back. Last 3 e mails unanswered.

Appalling customer service

Sadly made the mistake of straying from Screwfix and Toolstation tempted by lower price.
Unfortunately my order was not received , it appears to have been dispatched and then just left on my doorstep by Evri when I wasn't home . I didn't receive any notification of dispatch or delivery so surprise surprise when I got home from work a couple of days later it was no longer there.
Evri's fault totally but the response from Toolshouse is what dismayed me and means I won't use them again.
They don't appear to answer the phone , you don't get a response when submitting an online message via their 'help' portal and it they ignored my first email.
When I sent another email they just dismissed the issue saying it was now more than 5 days since delivery and they weren't going to do anything.
So out of pocket and still have to go buy from somewhere else .
Appalling customer service.

Scammers?

Took money. No purchase confirmation. No email. Not answering any contact numbers or emails. Item not sent. £500 taken, dreadful service.
