Very good price
Very good price, very quick delivery. I wasn't sure if I would use the angle jaws but I've already used them loads. Brilliant product, great Novopress quality and superb service from TCD

Hi Alister,
Thank you for the brilliant 5-star review! We’re delighted to hear you were impressed with the price, fast delivery, and the quality of your Novopress tool.
It’s great to know the angle jaws turned out to be even more useful than expected — that’s exactly the kind of feedback we love to hear.
We really appreciate your support and look forward to helping again in the future.

This company uses EVRI as their chosen courier. Enough said. EVRI have to be the absolutely WORST courier company in existence. They are called that because EVERY "delivery" I have had from them has failed. Absolute rubbish.

Hi Jan,
We’re sorry to hear about your negative experience with the courier service. We understand how frustrating failed deliveries can be, and we agree that your order’s journey to you is an important part of the overall service.
While Evri is one of several couriers we use, we take all delivery feedback seriously and will raise this with them to address your concerns. Our goal is to make the whole process — from ordering to receipt — as smooth as possible, and we’re sorry that didn’t happen this time.
If there’s anything still outstanding with your order, please contact us directly at Select Trade Brands Support support@selecttradebrands.com so we can resolve it quickly.

It's a gas meter cover!
Difficult to get excited about a gas meter cover, but it came quickly and was the correct part.
I took the old one off for painting and left it outside on the verge to dry. A kid cycled over it. £60. Best price I could find.

Hi Keith,
Thanks for the great review — and for the chuckle! We agree — it’s hard to get excited about a gas meter cover… until a kid on a bike makes it a priority!
We’re glad we could get the correct part to you quickly and at the best price. If you ever need anything else (hopefully not bike-proofing!), we’re here to help.
