Would have been 5 stars but next day…

Would have been 5 stars but next day delivery didn’t ship my manticore which was a big shame as I was out on a site that day and wanted to use it. My other orders arrived the next day but not the detector.

Everything is fine

Everything is fine. The lazy DPD drivers came the first time, took a picture of the door and left. I stood 15 meters on the other side of the fence and waited because I didn't know which way they would come from, all him had to do was press the signal or get out and go through the open door into the barn where 3 builders were doing repairs on the other side. The second time they didn't come at all and said that no one was there. I was in the yard and changed the brakes. Then the store called me and asked if the address was correct.

Where everyone will find something for themselves

I found in your store what I just needed to pack the equipment for search trips and secure what I could dig up. And since I'm a beginner in this subject, I found something in the store with good tips for the start. I recommend this store to all beginners🙂

We do apologise again that your order took a little longer to arrive. Royal Mail delivery timeframes are estimated rather than guaranteed, although most orders do arrive within the expected timescale.

A new detector

Saw the item on the webpage, and made an order at 1500 and by 0830 the very next day a new shiny detector was at my door. Can't fault the process or delivery service at all.
