Have they ceased trading?

Received an Agrifab lawnsweeper in a damaged condition.
When I reported this, I was initially asked if it could still be used in that condition!
I said that I expected a new undamaged machine, and wanted a replacement or a full refund. They then told me that this item or similar was no longer available and offered to come back with a reduction in price for my consideration. I then heard that they were arranging for their supplier to to send a new machine.
Since then I have heard nothing. Neither do I know who their supplier is.
It seems omenous that there is a telephone problem at both Reddich and Swanley depots although the website is still open. Having emailed them yesterday no reply has as yet been received.
Beware!

Hi David,

Thanks for your review.

Sorry for the issues you have encountered. I would like to take a further look into this for you. I have had a look on our system under all names of David Hill and unfortunately unable to find your order. This may have been ordered under a business name or a colleague for example. Please can you confirm a sales order number or invoice number which will take me direct to your order.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards
FR Jones and Son

The longest waiting for my online…

The longest waiting for my online shopping history! One entire order deliver in 3 or more times and need constant e-mail to find out what's coming. Everytime they will sent you a few pieces with nearly a month of guessing and traceing which still ongoing! The worst is while you're
waiting they now show you what you've bought is on sales! And they won't give you the price difference back even you ask!.

Excellent service - Thank you

First time I used FRJones and Sons. I put my search in on Google and the products came up straight away under FRJones.
I like the layout of your site and found it easy to navigate with a simple checkout process. So while I was at work on my break I ordered few more t-shirts for work. I would not hesitate to order a heavy duty jacket from FRJones for Winter.
Cheers guys!

Excellent service

Excellent next day delivery. The product a Gardena (Wolf) longitudinal lawn sprinkler replaces a defunct 2 year old Hozelock equivalent which the latter wasn't.

Very competitive prices even outdoing Amazon. Ordering was straightforward and I was kept fully informed on delivery as some items were not in stock. Package arrived as I’d been informed securely wrapped and I cannot fault the service. Highly recommend

I ordered a new rotavator on last Monday and it arrived the next day. I called today with a technical point and it was dealt with immediately. Well done and thankyou.

No communication at all

No communication at all. Ordered over 3 weeks ago. Spoke on phone to enquire and ask for any update said too busy to provide any. Would recommend you check if in stock before committing to using. Disappointing.
