BRILLIANT QUALITY ITEMS AND TERRIFIC SERVICE

With an extensive range of products all quality items one can’t go wrong with any selection. Ordering and delivery is first class. I know their customer service is second to none. With 15 year guarantees on many items it’s almost too good to be true. Lovely garden tools buy with confidence

I expected more from their spades

I expected more from their spades, as full-time gardeners we purchased 2 of these spades, which look to be beautiful tools. Unfortunately one has broken off cleanly at the weld between the handle and plate. The second spade handle has been made with a piece of wood with a sharp burr, and as it has aged for 6 months, is now sharp enough to catch the hand at times... Can't find the receipt for them so hopefully someone might be able to suggest how I can get a replacement from them?

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, particularly as full-time gardeners who rely on your tools day to day.

All Kent & Stowe tools are covered by our no-quibble guarantee, and we’d be very happy to look into this for you and arrange a suitable resolution.

To help us do this, we just need a few details:

- Images showing the full tool and close-ups of the issue
- A photo where the Kent & Stowe logo is visible
- Confirmation of the exact product (this can be from guarantee registration, receipt/invoice, or photos showing the full height of the tool)

Once we have this, we can assess and move things forward for you as quickly as possible.
Please send the details to customerservice@kentandstowe.com, and the team will take care of this for you.

Thanks,
The K&S Team

Excellent service and quality product

Efficient order system and receipt of product. Hose quality appears excellent, very easy to handle and looks great.

Shame has no 90' coupling fitting to reel.

Purchased there sure cut

Purchased there sure cut, adjustable height lawn edging shears. The top of the shears handles are so flimsy and flexible, each time you open the blades wide and make the cut. Your fingers get caught between the top of the handles, due to the handles crossing over. I guess it's my own fault for buying cheap Chinese product.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the Kent & Stowe SureCut Adjustable Lawn Edging Shears. This certainly isn’t the level of quality or comfort we expect from our products, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.

The issue you’ve described with the handles sounds unusual, and we’d really like to look into this further for you. Please contact our team directly at customerservice@kentandstowe.com so we can review this in more detail and help resolve the issue.

Was the packaging appropriate?

I was quite disappointed when Evri, the carrier, failed on two deliveries. The third attempt was successful, but the driver alerted no one at the delivery address. The product is superb but the packaging was barely adequate. No wonder Evri returned two deliveries because the packaging was damaged and the product inside might have been damaged. We are talking here about a garden fork which rattled about in a far-too-large cardboard box.
Great product, very poor packaging. Think it through K&S. Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

We’re really pleased to hear that you’re happy with the quality of the product itself, but we’re sorry to learn that your delivery experience didn’t meet expectations. We completely understand how frustrating multiple delivery attempts and packaging concerns can be.

Your comments about the packaging are especially valuable, and we will make sure this is shared with the relevant teams for review. We are also sorry to hear about the issues experienced with the courier, as this is not the experience we aim to deliver.

Thank you again for your feedback, it really does help us improve.

Fantastic customer service!

Unfortunately my Kent & Stowe spade fell apart on the welding line. I know it’s less than 4 years old and I couldn’t find my receipt. I called Kent & Stowe customer service who were brilliant. I emailed in pictures of the spade, its dimensions and the fault which they acknowledged straight away and then followed up with a second email with £45 of evouchers to enable me to replace the spade from their online shop. This is excellent customer service and it’s a brand I will remain loyal too and continue to buy into. I certainly recommend this brand!

Prompt delivery

Prompt delivery. It would have been 5 stars except for the fact that a hanging loop was missing. I emailed customer services but have received a reply.

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We’re pleased to hear you were happy with the prompt delivery, but we’re sorry for any disappointment regarding the missing hanging loop.

We’ve checked our system and haven’t been able to locate your previous email, so we’re sorry if this wasn’t responded to as expected.

Just to clarify, our long-handled tools are not supplied with a hanging loop. However, many of them are designed with a hole at the top of the handle, allowing you to add your own cord or loop for convenient storage if you wish.

If there’s anything further we can help with, please do feel free to contact us, we’d be happy to assist.

Long Lasting Products from K&S

This is our second direct purchase from Kent and Stowe. We love the metal spray gun as we do the metal fittings for the hose. It is so much improved from the ‘yellow’ equivalents. It is engineered to last and has so many convenient features. Very happy customer.
