Absolutely Fantastic Service

Bought a new tank and cabinet for my son, looks absolutely fantastic, in my opinion the tank we chose is excellent for beginners.
I did have to email Rocketaquatics for information and the response was very fast indeed.
Delivery was fast, and I was kept up to date via email when my delivery would arrive and that also included a time.
Will I be using Rocketaquatics again?.....Yes I will, I recieved a fantastic service and will have no hesitation using them again.

Awful customer service

Ordered a fish tank, delivery was on time. But I live in a flat, and when my sister took the delivery the driver simply dumped the 35kg package on the pavement outside, told her she could take it from there and walked off. She had to flag down a passing UPS van to help her get it inside. I phoned Rocket Aquatics to complain, but the lady said they don't legally have to take a package beyond the ground floor. I told her he didn't even make it to the ground floor, but she didn't seem to care. Awful service, awful phone manner. Won't be buying anything from this shoddy company again.

Exremeley disappointed.... do NOT use this company!!

I ordered a fish tank for my boyfriends birthday and it quite clearly stated a 2 day delivery.

 

I waited in on the 2nd day, nothing !

 

I waited in on the 3rd day, nothing !

 

After various emails and contact attempts, One week later, the day of my boyfriends birthday and it had still not been delievered, leaving me red faced that he had no present to open.

 

The staff at rocketaquatics were pretty rude to me on the phone and obviously have their slopey shoulders teflon coated because they accepted no  responsibility, I would recieve no compensation and told me to sort it out with the courier company direct as it had left their premises !!!

 

I have instructed the courier company to send the item back to rocketaquatics and am still awaiting a full refund and an appology for ruining my boyfriends birthday but am not going to hold my breath...

Bubble walls

Fast and reliable delivery of goods.

Found what I wanted that I couldn't get from my local aquarium suppliers.

Have used this site before and will do again in the future.

Order and suuply of an Aquarium

Ordered this item late on the afternoon/evening of Tuesday 12th June, item was delivered on 14th June. The item was as described and has been setup and is working perfectly, no faults or leaks. Both the product and the service are/have been excellent.
Even the delivery was given down to a 1 hour timeslot and the courier with the item, arrived bang in the middle of the timeslot, no need to wait in unnecessarily.

attention to order

Misunderstood part of order. Was contacted and order was sorted out but the first part of the order was already in transit now closely followed by the amended order .

Waste of time

Only ordered something small, but needed item as a matter of urgency. Heard nothing for a while, then had to contact them, only to find they were awaiting delivery from another company, so the item was never in stock in the first place, this should have been made clear at time of ordering, secondly the company should have communicated and let me know of delay. I had to cancel order as it was going to be near on 2 weeks before I would have received item. Note to company, if item not held in stock.....State it.......Also, communication is key

Very Good

New "Fish R Fun" aquarium arrived promptly, when opened there was slight damage to the light but Rocket Aquatics were extremely understanding and helpful & dispatched a replacement unit which arrived the next day. Very good to deal with, good value products and would definitely recommend.
