Hancocks are amazing. Staff are great at the Watford branch and delivery tends to be smooth with DPD. On occasions where there has been damage on transit, there’s no quibbling.

Issue resolved quickly

We have bought from Hancocks for a couple of years, but their selection has reduced recently for what we buy, but they are a good company to deal with.

The delivery this time was packed poorly and resulted in a number of items breaking and the contents spreading through the boxes. Once reported, these items were replaced promptly, so we are happy it was resolved easily.

Never any stock

Never any stock. You go to check out and it says item not in stock. Always happens. No consistency at all.

Good range of products but the only problem is the massive boxes and excessive use of packaging materials they use, drives me mad.
You get metres of spare blue bubble wrap in all the boxes

Delivery company lets them down

The service and support is brilliant, sadly the delivery company you use is having an impact on your company. The DPD delivery driver is very rude and unhelpful.
