Ordered a replacement shower engine at 10AM Friday assuming delivery early the next week. Was delivered Mid-day Saturday. Part fitted and working by 3.00PM. Great service Trading Depot, thank you.

Have bought from Trading Depot many…
Have bought from Trading Depot many times and has always been straightforward. When I had a few questions about a product, Lydia at customer services was brilliant with her knowledge of the product and her advice.
Happy with my experience
Easy to order items on line. I had a question which the on line chat answered.
No problems with delivery (although the box was damaged the items were ok) and I was happy with the items received.
Such a helpful business.
I found exactly what I want, and at a great price. However I needed help with the ordering and creating an account, customer services are great - and a special thanks to Adam Levy. Adam spent a lot of time helping when I got rather mixed up with a simple task - and I would not have been able to solve it myself. I have now bought the chair I wanted for my disabled wife. Thanks Adam.
Absolutely excellent customer service…
Absolutely excellent customer service from Hermione in assisting with and successfully resolving an issue with an order. It was a pleasure to deal with her and her assistance and support is greatly appreciated!
Excellent service
I needed a toilet seat and cover, online search revealed Trading Depot to be the best price - however, I was unsure which seat to order (there are thousands of them). Contacted Trading Depot via their website, and explained my dilemma. Nathan was very helpful, asked me to submit some photos to help with the identification of the seat I required. He then, on my behalf, contacted Ideal Standard, forwarded the photos I had provided, and then confirmed the model of seat I required.
Using that information, I ordered the toilet seat, and it was delivered within 24 hours.
Very impressed with the service I received from beginning to end, very helpful staff during the entire process, excellent communication keeping me informed of progress, and super quick delivery.
Superb service
I had a broken cistern I needed to source and fix quickly. Live chat gave me clear info and after ordering I asked if the item could be sent asap. It was confirmed within a couple of hours and the item arrived within 2 days. Great to deal with a company that lives up to its promises. Thank you
What fantastic service from Nathan
What fantastic service from Nathan at Trading Depot. At the last minute we needed our product to be sent to a different address and Nathan managed to stop the original delivery and change it to the new address. He then made sure the delivery would happen on a specified date. His communicational skills were excellent and kept us informed both by email and telephone throughout the process. I've not received service as good as this for a long while. Thank you.
Excellent customer care
We purchased our new bathroom from another retailer and are currently going through a battle with them. We had to source a replacement toilet within 3 days and Trading Depo where able to supply and deliver where others failed.
Sadly, when we opened the box the toilet seat was damaged, but not an issue as Hermione dealt with it instantly and a replacement is on the way!
So refreshing to deal with a business and team that really do put their customers first.
Hermione is a credit to your company, thank you for easing the stress a little!!
Hermione is an absolute asset to you're…
Hermione is an absolute asset to you're team. I ordered the wrong part for my shower and I emailed to say which part I actually needed and hermione was on it and was fast to reply with a solution. Hermione sorted the order out within a couple of hours. Very Quick response. Very satisfied customer.
Thank you
My shower unit went faulty
My shower unit went faulty, Hermione arranged a replacement and arrived following day.
Brill…
Had a warranty issue
Had a warranty issue regarding a spare part. Hermione responded quickly and liased with the manufacturer Blanco who quickly agreed to send out a replacement direct to me. Good work all round
Refused 100% refund over damage they can't actually evidence
I ordered the wrong toilet seat by mistake — my fault, not theirs. I started the return process the same day, before it was even fitted. Bought the correct soft-close one straight from Trading Depot while I waited on the refund.
Sent the wrong one back with picture in it's original packaging and got told no refund because of a small chip and a hair on it. I didn't notice anything when I opened the box, though to be honest I wasn't looking, I'd just clocked it was the wrong model, not that it was damaged. The "evidence" photos they sent had no order number or returns label anywhere in them, so for all I know it could've accidently been another customer's returned seat, not mine.
Paul Kane, the General Manager, was decent to deal with over email, I'll say that much and he's the only reason this review has 2 stars and not 1. But his argument boiled down to: I can't prove it arrived undamaged, they can't prove it left undamaged, so by their returns policy it's my problem until they receive it. I declined a partial the first time fighting my case and asked them to reconsider — heard nothing back, then chased twice to get a near-identical email repeating the same position. Back and forth we went until I just took the 50% to be done with it.
To be fair, it's entirely possible the seat was already damaged before it reached me but that can't be proven — I never inspected it closely.
But that uncertainty shouldn't default to the retailer's favour just because they say so, and that's exactly what happened here. £32 isn't worth arguing over but the principle annoyed me. It felt like heads they win, tails I lose, basically.
I'd already bought a second item from before returning the item in good faith while this was unresolved, before they'd even processed my refund.
Make of that what you will.

Package delivery late and then unsuitable.
Sent back for a refund. Was advise to not stick labels on packaging. Assumed this was packing on items and not the standard delivery book. Bear in mind they stuck my address on a label on the box, I was refused a refund as a attached the returns address on the box they had labelled.
Totally conned.
Have to pay for goods to be returned to me so that I can now sell them on ebay to get back my money.
BUYER BEWARE
Excellent after-Sales service
Excellent after-Sales service when I had a question about my product, Lydia was fantastic and swiftly connected me with the manufacturer and followed up until my query was resolved
Great service

I’d like to thank Hermione for her support
I’d like to thank Hermione for the excellent customer service she provided. I had accidentally ordered the wrong item, and she went above and beyond to help me find the correct one and ensure it was compatible with what I originally needed. Hermione was knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the process. Her prompt assistance made everything easy and stress-free. A real credit to the customer service team—thank you, Hermione! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
