Review of Gutter Vacuum Systems Ltd


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Disgusting postage fee for a plastic bag

The part I bought was very good and I am pleased with it BUT was really disappointed that you charged me over £12 for posting and packing and it arrived in a plastic bag. Disgusting that you would charge so much for a £3 service. Will really make me shop elsewhere in future.

Hello Dean,

Thank your feedback following your purchase of the softwashing chemical aluminium assault nozzle, it is a fantastic piece of kit.

I am really disappointed to see that following your purchase, we only achieved 2 stars for you based on the shipping alone. Although I am pleased to see that you had received your item the next day after dispatch.

I have no record of you contacting us directly since receiving this item 10 days ago. The website had automated your shipping based on weight and value and I can see that although £12.48 was charged for a courier service (in which actually costs us £18 but we swallow that additional charge) your item was in fact dispatched by the packing team with Royal Mail instead.

We send all items on a tracked and signed for service. Your service was in fact £5.55 (not a £3 service). I have refunded £6.93 against your order so that should go back on to your card shortly for you.

Should you have any concerns or queries in the future, please do not hesitate to contact our friendly team in the first instance so that we are able to help and don't forget, mainland UK orders over £100 include FREE shipping.

If there is anything else myself, or the team can help you with regarding equipment for your business needs we will be happy to help.

Kind regards
Julia, GVS
