PEL is great
PEL is great! We have had several visits from John over the last few years, who is great at weighing up new projects and coming up with proposals for suitable products. Thanks PEL!
Best in the Business
John Bye, Sam and the team at PEL always provide us with an excellent product at competitive prices just when we need them. They are very reactive to our requirements and go the extra mile to ensure fantastic service every time.
Over a week and still no delivery
I placed an order over a week ago and still haven't received my order.
They really ought to send their goods by a tracked service and provide a tracking number. I now have to wait another week before chasing again.

Outstanding Service by Preservation Equipment Ltd!
Mine was an international transaction for a product I could not find elsewhere.
Preservation Equipment Ltd. had exactly what I needed. They handled my order expediently, packaged it properly to withstand the shipping, and potentially the exposure to the weather if I was not home to receive it when it was delivered.
I am quite happy with their service, and recommend them highly.
Great support when ordering
I had the email about the new PEL catalogue, which prompted me to put in an order for items I already knew I needed. Then I ordered the catalogue - free, but a small charge for P & P. Today I had a follow up email. Mandy had spotted the two orders, added the catalogue to the main order and cancelled the postage charge. Joined up thinking by a real person is SO rare these days that I was simply delighted. Thank you!
Ghosted as soon as partial order arrived
Made an order a year ago and it arrived with something missing. Been contacting them throughout the year to either get a refund or have it sent again with no response. Don't waste your time with this company.
**Edit: I can assure you I wouldn't make things up, and I can see that you've tried to get this review removed. I've provided the reference number from the order through the prompt.

Urgent order expedited
I needed some snake weights at very short notice for a research visit to a library. Mandy in Customer Services could not have been more helpful in arranging prompt processing and rapid despatch of my order. They arrived in time, and proved invaluable.
Print sleeves Pronto
We needed prints sleeves to fulfil a last minute customer order, and requested a pretty unrealistic turnaround.
Our order was dealt with straight away, Efficiently without fuss.
Thank you Mandy!

Considerate advice and clear answers to my queries.
Delivery made efficiently and without fuss or bother by Nick and Alex. I would use this provider again.

We had really prompt and helpful service from Mandy; when two orders went out in a hurry, Mandy got in touch personally to rearrange delivery in one go which helped with costs and organisation. It was refreshingly helpful in an age where ordering online feels so detached. Highly recommended company, thank you.

Flexibility, product choice, courtesy and flexibility
Responsive customer care
Mandy quickly assisted me with my query. Finding out more information, presenting options regarding getting my order fulfilled, and resolving my issue. Thank you!
