“Easy to order online and very quick delivery”

“The insert I ordered for my Oneway chuck came very quickly-- in fact on the next day! Frankly though I thought the postage charge was a bit excessive since the stamp on the package said £3.35, and I was charged £5.58. I also feel it would be more honest to show prices including VAT. For a £21 item it ended up £10 dearer. You asked!”

“Excellent communication. Parcel arrived quickly and well packaged. The apron is brilliant. It is the second one I have purchased for my brother. He loves them. A very good size and the clip fasteners are quick and easy and so much better and safer than ties. The quality is very good. So many of the others you can buy are small and made of an inferior material.”

“A year ago I got great help from Toolpost in buying a new lathe and some additional kit, this time, on line, I got exactly the same degree of help in buying a faceplate and ruby grindstone - always straightforward and helpful. Brilliant in fact.”

“Sadly I have to advise that my experience was less than satisfactory because the order was wrongly picked and whilst this means I have a free piece of Ash wood it does reflect badly on the standard of checking done before the box is sealed. I also found that the larger bowl blanks are not the size quoted which on this occasion does matter to me, it seems that Toolpost advise that buyers of timber visit the store to select for themselves but this does not seem to be stated on their website. In addition I find that comment rather strange when they sell such items online. It is a shame that my previous good experience of buying has been let down and I would say that customer service standards must be looked to whether the customer is in front of you or not !”

We can only apologise for the service you received in this instance which fell well below our normal standards. I would request that, if you are purchasing timber for a specific application, that demands that it meets certain criteria, you call and discuss your needs with us so that we can check that the timber supplied meets those criteria. We do supply timber that is not 'bean-can' perfect as we are not Tesco and not selling beans! We expect that our bowl blanks will be used to create bowls: that demands that the rear corners will be cut away as waste. Timber is a precious and diminishing natural resource and so we accept timber with a little 'wane' on the corners in the interest of environmental sustainability: we'd like our children and grandchildren to have a little timber left for them to enjoy so we try not to waste it for cosmetic reasons. We now appreciate - in retrospect - that you were planning to use this timber in a different manner and that made the blanks supplied unsuitable for your intended use. Had we known, we could have either supplied blanks which matched your needs or explained to you why we could not, and maybe even reached a compromise that would enable you to complete the job in hand. I'm sorry that didn't happen and that things worked out other than as you had planned. However there is no good excuse beyond 'human error' for mis-picking a product or for making spelling errors. We are clearly human but also clearly at fault in this regard, for which I apologise.

“I ordered two items, one was unavailable. They contacted me very quickly to let me know and advised me on the options. The single item arrived much more speedily than I expected. I will deal with them again when I spot something I need.”

“very good company, glad they use DPD for deliveries as I never place orders with people that use Yodel”

“Not much to say - I'd checked out the product (a Ruby grinding wheel) before ordering, and it's exactly what I ordered, arrived well-packaged and unbroken, and works well! The courier (DPD) struggled with my doorbell and consequently had to reschedule delivery, which was delayed by a couple of days, but that's always a possibility when using couriers and not The Tool Post's fault at all (and I'll reiterate that the grinding wheel remained unharmed throughout this ordeal!)”
