I have used HS Walsh & Sons Ltd since 1961when I was an apprentice, always polite, pleasant and knowledgeable people to deal with. From 1961-2025. I cannot thank them enough for all that time. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ron Clarke now retired.

Knowledgeable and helpful.

I found what I needed on the website without any bother, then popped along to the Biggin Hill shop and collected my order. The staff were friendly and welcoming. A great place to get my watchmaking supplies. Top job!

Useless website

Useless website. I had to jump through 15 minutes of registering my intimate details fr billing and shipping details, only to find thar when I got to the checkout to find the cost of shipping, the site had decided to ignore my previous inputs and require my shipping address once again (for the third time). And to add insult to injury, the shipping cost was extortionate.

Thank you for your feedback, if you order as a guest you only have to enter your details once at checkout. If you register for a website account you will need to log in and confirm your delivery address at checkout, this is a pretty standard function on all websites. Regarding the shipping price we are based in the UK, we do not profit on shipping to AU, unfortunately this is the price couriers charge us.

Poor

Was on the M25 and had one of their drivers in a small van over taking in 3 different lanes at over 80mph and then was flashing me to move out the way in the middle lane. Then passed me and put his middle finger up on the way past with not no uniform but a grey hoodie.
I don’t know how you work but if that’s a reflection of your company it’s disgusting. I hope the rest of S Walsh doesn’t go around like this else we’re.
Carelessness, Dangerous & vile.

This feedback is for another company, we do not own a small van. We have a blue Vauxhall Movano and it was not on the M25, it was sat in our car park at the time in question. S Walsh is another company entirely and we'd appreciate if you could remove this feedback.

Great service

I ordered an item on line, and an older version was delivered by mistake. As I’m in Australia it was a bit frustrating. But the immediate response and ongoing communication I received to get the correct item sent out and the original sent back was fantastic. I can’t thank the team enough for all the help and I didn’t have to wait long for the new item to arrive. Great service.

I have had a horrendous experience with this company. I ordered a Horia 2000. The tool arrived fine, but didn't have any attachments. I was able to exchange a few emails with Julie Walker, a customer service representative. After several days of not hearing from her, I called and spoke with her. I resent the photos for the third time and she finally saw the problem. She reassured me she would resolve the issue and surprise, the trail went cold again. I finally gave up. Good job H S Walsh, you got one over on me. I doubt the entire company is horrible, but my experience was. Can't wait to see how they attempt to flip this review around on me.

Firstly, we are sorry the item you ordered arrived with missing parts, unfortunately the manufacturer supplied the kit to us like this, we don’t open sealed products. The issue with your email was the file size, it was too large and we didn’t receive it. Once we spoke to you we realised the issue and replied promptly. We always try to reply to emails within 2 hours but occasionally this is not possible, we had numerous staff off sick or on holiday and it did take over a day to get back to your last email. I then noticed you placed an order for the missing parts separately which I contacted you about and refunded and sent to you free of charge. Unfortunately, the manufacturer refused to acknowledge the parts were missing from the kit but we did supply them to you at our expense. I’ve tried contacting you since, but not received any replies, so I can only assume the issue with this order is now sorted and hope you can appreciate we did all we could to help.

H S Walsh - Over many years, Always very professional and helpful.

Hi, I needed a Citizen watch caseback die that was advertised on their site. The only problem - that I've had before - was that I couldn't be 100% certain that it would fit my Citizen Aquamount. As they did with an Omega caseback die I ordered in the same circumstances, they agreed that a refund would be made if the die were returned unused.
As with the Omega, the die fitted perfectly so I can't say that I've tested H S Walsh's procedures in a 'practical' sense but I've been dealing with them for years and they've always been incredibly helpful and very professional.
