Great service - and my clock works again!

I had lost a winder for my (very old!) clock. Staff were really helpful and even when I’d given up on sorting it managed to source one and send to me. Am really grateful and thank you for great service.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, placed an order and was unsure of a few items. The Walsh representative was very patient and recommended products that were more suited to me and my business rather than selling me a more expensive product. After I received my order I contacted them for advice on installing a couple of machines and they guided me through the whole process and even sent me PDF guides and instructions. Highly recommended and will now be my only place to purchase my tools and equipment from!

hopeless customer service

Ordered a heep of GRS equipment, compressor, engravers, hone, etc. Started with a delay as a couple of bits had to come from the US. Finally set up the compressor and discovered it was 110v not 240v so they sent me a replacement 'a better one'. It arrived covered in oil and broken with water in the cilinder, so I can only imagine They we're palming me off with a used one.
They ordered another one from the US but it broke in transit, so another one was ordered (we are now at 4 attempts). Had to stay in all day for the old compressors to be collected (very heavy).
The staff were apologetic, but that's all they did, nothing as compensation for the weeks without the kit. I had turned down a cheeper quote from another supplier. I will order from the US next time.
Walsh have an old fashioned idea of customer service.

Reply below 3 1/2 years after I posted my review. Nothing about trying parse off a used compressor as new?

We are very sorry you are unhappy with our service. Unfortunately the courier damaged the replacement compressor after the supplier originally sent us the 110v version in error. We did resolve all issues and refunded the item in full. Very sorry this happened and that you had to stay in waiting for delivery.

Needed some watch tools and found this company online.
I Thought I would visit the Hatton Garden branch to buy in person.
On a quite dull Tuesday morning found the staff to be so utterly friendly and helpful as I only wanted a couple of small watch tools. They were very informative when questioned about the products that I was interested in.
Thank you for your professional attitude.
