No updates on order

Placed an order earlier in the week, with a view on getting it delivered before the weekend.
Chased the order twice and both times they could not give me a date it would be delivered.

Could even be service orientated to let me know it was going to be delayed.

Absolutely poor service. Will not be ordering anything from here again.

Bought 55 SN4 frames and foundation…best ever!

Bought 55 SN4 frames and foundation lured by the keen pricing but wary that cheapness often equates to poor quality. However, I was pleasantly surprised, the frames were perfect, and the wax foundation fitted without any fettling and the pins were provided too. Absolutely perfect - ten out of ten. I was able to assemble 11 frames in a little over 30 minutes. Kudos to Simon the Beekeeper.

I'm not sure how this company makes…

I'm not sure how this company makes money with such good quality products at excellent prices. The cost of lots of packing tape must also eat into their profits as well! Over the years I have purchased hive parts, suits, tools, feed and feeders. I am pleased with all the purchases, the packaging and the speed of dispatch.

Astonishingly good service

Very competitive prices and good quality products. The service was second to none. Phoned with a query and spoke with Harry who was incredibly helpful and clearly passionate about beekeeping. Placed my order on-line and it arrived within 24 hours - can you ask for anything more? Not really is my opinion and Simon the Beekeeper has just become my preferred supplier!
Many thanks. David

Fabulous service

Great products, at a really great price. After watching Simon’s video demonstration I was sold on which NUC was going to be best, and ordered one. Less than 48 hours and it was at my door, having been extremely well packaged, and with frame nails also included(😲) Whole experience far exceeded my expectations and I wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend to others!😁

Great customer service and exactly as described

Me and my partner are new to Beekeeping and purchased our first Bee suits from here. Unfortunately one of the teeth and stop fell off but after contacting the company they quickly provided us with a new suit after providing photo evidence of the fault. We have had no problems with any of the other products we have purchased and my partner even bought another suit of a different model from them recently. We will always shop here for any further products in future and the customer service was great.

Settling Tank with Double…

I order a Settling Tank with Double Stainless Strainer and both arrived in under 24 hours! Both items are fantastic quality and I would happily recommend to anyone. Combined with great customer service an easily navigable web site. Its a win win every time. Thankyou so very much and I will be back.
