A most happy and satisfied customer

The staff are most helpful and pleasant. I was given excellent guidance on equipment best suited to my needs, which came in below my stated budget. The commitment of “next day delivery” was fulfilled. I am confident I will receive good advice from this company in the future.

Speedy delivery, easy to use

Pump and hose arrived in just a couple of days, which was great as I really needed them. Easy to set up, worked first time. Impressive flow rate and gets the water right down to just a thin layer. Any air lock is easy to overcome.

Honda WB20XT Water pump

Faced with a large body of water getting closer to my house I placed an order for a Honda WB20XT water pump late on Thursday afternoon. My new pump and hoses arrived first thing the following morning and were put to good use with the pump being simple to set up and start. The pump performed an excellent job and efficiently moved the lake out of my field into a drainage ditch. I did find a manufacturing fault in part of the lay flat hose which sprang a leak but this was not apparent until the hose was put into use and having informed FPS they’ve advised a replacement is being sent today. 100% positive experience, excellent company to deal with and the Honda pump is a joy to own.

Poor afterservice

Asked for correct connector size for pump and bought based on info given. When it arrived it didnt fit. Contacted for help but they didnt offer to send correct size, despite only being a few £, didnt offer to swap for original one, and told me id have to buy another one but have to spend a minumum £20 to place an order. Really poor

Failed delivery, no updates, and no flexibility

I made an order before 4 pm on Friday and paid for next day delivery. I was expecting it on Saturday. On Monday I contacted them via the online messaging system and I was told next day delivery meant Monday. I phoned twice and was told that someone would get back to me with a tracking number to find out what had happened with my delivery. No one got back to me, and it is now 6 pm Monday with no delivery having ordered around 2:30 pm on Friday. Having read responses to other reviews, the roads in my area are completely clear and dry with no issues of access to any address in my village or street.

Update:
the package (pump, hose and clip) was delivered on Wednesday. The company points out that although they pay for next day delivery they have no control over the courier company. In my case, the "next day" delivery was the middle of the following week. I can only say that if you have an active flood incident, then it may well be too late to address the issue. I've updated the rating to 2 stars instead of 1 because it did arrive in the end.

Update 2:
The product itself seems to work. However the lack of a non-return valve means the water in the 30 metre hose just keeps running back as soon as the automatic pump action stops, then it pumps that same water again, in an endless loop that will never stop as water in a pipe will not evaporate. Other companies include the NRV as standard. About £3 on the website.

Update 3:
The rating goes back down to 1. The company said that they would not supply the £2 NRV and £1 tail because the minimum order value is £20. They said I should visit a hardware shop. I bailed the water out with a cup and bucket. They also declined to refund me the next day delivery charge of £12 despite the order taking 5 days to be delivered.

Good Morning Lionel,

I trust this message finds you in good health.

Firstly, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for taking the time to share your concerns with us. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services.

Regarding the delivery delay, please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. We consistently strive to provide a next-day delivery service, as detailed in our terms and conditions. However, it is important to note that while we endeavour for timely delivery, certain circumstances beyond our control, such as the recent national-scale flooding, can affect these timelines. These events, including major road closures in Nottingham, unfortunately impacted our delivery schedules. As these incidents are unforeseeable, our delivery times, though usually prompt, cannot be guaranteed. We encourage all our clients to prepare well in advance of any flood or emergency situation.

Concerning the contents of your order, our website meticulously outlines the items included in each package under the 'What’s in the Box' section. If the Non-Return Valve (NRV) was not listed, it would not be part of the package. This specification is intended to cater to diverse requirements of different usage scenarios. For instance, if you were pumping across land, from a deeper area, or with a shorter pipe, no NRV would be needed.

Regarding the provision of a Non-Return Valve at no additional cost, our policy mandates a minimum order spend to maintain sustainability in our operations. This policy is in place to manage the costs associated with processing smaller orders, which can otherwise be uneconomical for us. We typically reserve manual goodwill adjustments for circumstances where our service has not met our high standards, which, does not apply in this situation. After thorough review, we must inform you that your complaint has not been upheld.

I understand your frustration and the impulse to express it on platforms like Trustpilot. However, it's important to note that such reviews can significantly impact our small business and we must operate within the parameters of our quotes terms and conditions to ensure fair and ethical treatment for all.

We genuinely appreciate your understanding and remain committed to providing quality service to all.
