We've been around for almost 60 years and are proud to have built up a loyal customer base. We like to think this is due to our rugged good looks and sparkling personalities but, in reality, it's probably down to our low prices and high levels of customer service.

Great customer Sales

Great customer Sales, very helpful and informative about the product I purchased recently.
The entire transaction was incredibly smooth, and the variety and quality of supplies they offer are outstanding.

Hassle free ordering

Hassle free ordering, competitive pricing,. Great service in promptly dealing with my chainsaw order and delivery within a couple of days.

Would definitely purchase again from reputable suppliers.

Not surprised it's gone into Admin

Sorry for staff that weren't included in the way Ben Jones treated me but glad you lost your empire. Perhaps if you focused more on your business than being bitchy to customers you might still be operating.

RIP Mr Jones

F.R Jones are now in administration

I put in a order and got the stuff ordered in a drip drip delivery over a month to get anything.
The company as now gone into administration as from Monday 26th June according to their website.
Do NOT let them take any money due from your account. You may be able to contact your credit/debit card provider with a view to making a chargeback claim for the effective sums outstanding. Please contact your card issuer as soon as you can if this may apply to you. Further information including on time limits that apply is available from UK Finance website.

Terrible Customer Service

Ordered a rotavator several weeks ago. Had to chase the order up but then received the item around a week later. Unfortunately, it arrived damaged but FR Jones were very quick to arrange for a new replacement to be delivered. The new rotavator was delivered on 8 June. Unfortunately, after using it 3 times, the tines stopped working, making the rotavator useless. We had the machine for only 9 days. I emailed FR Jones on 17 June and 19 June asking for a full refund and for them to arrange to collect the faulty machine. No response from them whatsoever. I have tried calling both of their sites but their telephone lines are down. I emailed again yesterday (25 June) but have received no response again so far today. Today, their website is now down too. Fortunately, I paid via PayPal so will be raising a case with them to ensure I get my money back. Absolutely disgraceful customer service.

money taken as expected but no sign of dispatch or delivery.

Left it a few weeks and still no update, in this time I had access to my account somehow removed?

Finally had enough so emailed to cancel the order.
Response was very quick but no word of an apology despite having no contact at all since the order was placed

No communication in over a month

Placed an order on the 16th May, money taken as expected but no sign of dispatch or delivery.

Finally had enough so emailed to cancel the order.
Response was very quick but no word of an apology despite having no contact at all since the order was placed

Communication is key

Whole machine was covered in oil

The lawnmower was saturated in oil!!! It wasn’t the bottle provided as that was wrapped up in cellophane.
Luckily it started, but every cut and any flying grass sticks to machine , no matter how much its wiped down!
