Good all round

Really great service and price for the hoodie purchased. My only criticism is that the item was a bit overpackaged with a bag within a box. Think about the environment please guys.

We have ordered several things from…

We have ordered several things from Socal and they have always been well packaged and delivered quickly! I did a click and collect order the other week and they emailed to double check I wanted to click and collect as my home adress is quite far away. If that isn't great customer service I don't know what is. When we collect the stuff the Socal team were absolutely amazing giving great advice and genuinely showing interest. Would highly recommend and I'm sure we'll be returning lots!

Bought 6 BBQ rubs

Bought 6 BBQ rubs. Only tried one so far but it was amazing! Looking forward to getting through the rest. Delivery was very fast and everything was packaged well. Will definitely use again. Happy to recommend!

Traeger pellet container

Well I ordered 2 Traeger pellet containers, as they were a few pounds cheaper than anywhere else.
These were ordered late on Friday night/Saturday morning and to my surprise they were despatched Saturday lunchtime via DPD. Had confirmation via Socal & DPD to confirm that they will be delivered on Monday (as I write this on Sunday evening)
Fabulous service and free delivery if you spend over £50.
Highly recommended and will definitely be using Socal again.
