Socket World couldn't supply the switch I ordered, I was offered an alternative which was not suitable, I emailed Shaun at Socket World to advise and requested a refund. I haven't received a reply or a refund. Consumer protection and national papers will be the next step until I received my refund.
Buyers beware!!

They had the product in stock and shipped it promptly. Delivery was a bit pricey - but that was down to me only wanting one cheap item. Might be good to have a cheaper 'snail mail' option for low value shipments.

Good choice of sockets with prices to meet all needs.
Great Web site with all the products within a range shown together thus ensuring that all sockets & switches are of a match.
On other site I looked at dealt with sockets & switches on different pages & all mixed up,
Communication requires work
Disappointed with the lack of communication from the seller.
Being a stockist of electrical items, I would have expected the items to be in stock - or to be advised at check-out. While I understand that stock issues can arrive, I phoned 3 times to chase the order, which to me is not acceptable - the onus should be on the vendor to supply info to the customer not the customer to chase the vendor. During 2 (if not 3) of those calls I was promised a call-back - never happened.

Fantastic selection
Socket world's website is very easy to navigate and offers a fantastic range of products, one of which is Hamilton, which we have used before as their switches are excellent quality.
Customer service also very good, was informed that their was going to be a couple of days delay due to part of the order not being in stock, but it didn't make much difference, overall from ordering to delivery it took just over a week.
Would highly recomend Socket World for anyone who wants to buy quality items for very reasonable prices.
