The jig works well, as expected. The box containing the screws was broken in transit and part of the jig had surface damage caused by parts rubbing together. Not the end of the world but disappoint... See more

You did great but the delivery driver…

You did great but the delivery driver left the parcel outside my gate. if it had been raining the parcel would have getten wet if the parecel was left out side my door it would have been under cover as the door is reccessed.
Good products as can be expected from Axminster.

Company used Evri who did not tell me…

Company used Evri who did not tell me they needed a signature, and aborted the delivery without giving a reason.
Would not bother to look at Axminster in future, there are plenty of similar organisations.

Good Morning

Thank you for your review.

The goods were despatched on the 13th April not with a signature required service, so I will raise this with the courier for further information. I can see the goods were delivered to you on the 16th April, after delivery was attempted on the 15th April.
We do use a range of couriers and if you have a preference then please do contact us and we can discuss this further.

Kind Regards
Natalie

Excellent price, Speedy delivery

Been looking for this tool for a while and had to wait on it coming back in stock. When it did, Axminster offered an excellent price, and as usual the turn round on delivery was fantastic. Well pleased.

Great company, lack of stores!

I would have given 5 stars if I was able to go to an actual shop to buy tools and things that I needed, however Axminster has closed the nearest store (Bobbing near Sittingbourne) so I have no other option than to order online and wait for my orders to be delivered

I am currently waiting for a saw to be delivered, where I could have driven to the store and bought it on the same day if stock permitted
