This new Allen ratchet block may be the finest piece of sailing kit we have on the boat now. It works very effectively and actually feels different than other ratchets. Well built and great design... See more

Had many difficulties to purchase UK parts due to Brexit. Allen solved this through cooperation between Royal Mail and our country Postal company. VAT and Custom fees are all smoothly processed.

The things I ordered were great
The things I ordered were great, and delivered quickly. However, as you sent them Royal Mail signed for, I didn't actually get them until several days after they should have arrived as I wasn't in to sign for them and our postperson comes at different times each day

Good service
Great service with fast delivery.
I've marked down as my payment failed to go through at first, but the onscreen message wan't clear. I left the website but after not recieving an email order confirmation, went back the following day and noticed the payment status.
It looked to be the payment gateway / service on the web site that was a little antiquated.
No issue though and will definetely use again.

Let down by their carriers (Royal Mail) The items are fine, good price, easy to source on the website. But a small value package had a £5 carriage charge - which I can accept as pretty much ok, but not when it takes 7 days to arrive. Sorry guys but give your carriers a kicking.

Thank you for the feedback and sorry to hear the package took so long to be delivered. Unfortunately, most couriers have let us down in one way or another...
