“Would love to leave a lovely review, paid for next day delivery and more than a week later no product but being asked to review them! Did actually get an email to say a problem with despatch even though I was told on the day of purchase that they had been desparched. No idea when they will come. Hope they are worth the wait”

“The items were shipped to us via DPD, there driver arrived here and took a photograph however I do not think he got out of the cab and although the building and office were open he returned without delivering the consignment. When we received the item the parcel had my name on it but not the name of the company. I wrote a complained but I heard nothing back from the Ratchet shop. Unless there is no other alternative I will not buy from them again and I will never ever use DPD again - they have let us down before”

Hi Don, thanks for raising these points with us, firstly I wanted to apologise as we're still yet to revise your Billing / Shipping information on your invoice. When checking out online We always recommend including as much information as possible to help with delivery; We've sent you an email to help sort this issue out. Regarding the delivery of these goods, we understand with DPD and many other couriers that there are times when drivers don't perform the job to the best of their ability, When this happens we are here to help as we also want to make sure these goods are delivered as efficiently as possible. We've found that DPD still has one of the better success rates for deliveries in the UK so this is why we use their services, nonetheless, apologies on DPD's behalf for them not providing you with the best experience. If you do decide that you would like to order from us in the future please don't hesitate to get in touch and we will follow you along your ordering and shipping process to make sure you're next experience is the opposite of the one you've recently experienced. Kind Regards, The Ratchet Shop

“I bought some buckle straps, they were not expensive but more expensive than from Amazon. I thought the rachet shop looked very profesional and assumed their products would be beter quality than others being offered on the web. They arrived promtly but I was imedialtly very dissapointed, the nylon webbing is a soft material and is ribbed parrallel to the buckle, which make feeding the strap into the buckle very fiddly as it rolls and puckers up as you try feeding it into the buckle. Very frustrating. Unfortunately was going on holiday and did not have time to retun them or buy others so had to use them. Would'nt buy from here again.”

“The first batch arrived very quickly but I thought it was in clear what size the straps were on the site. I ended up with the wrong ones… I then spoke to a chap and he agrees to send out a new batch and for me to post back the ones I’d received. The new batch never arrived on time for them to be used… so I had to borrow straps making my purchase pointless. Your company is not entirely to blame as DPD sent a message they had missed us with a picture of a house that’s not even mine… sadly not a positive review here.”

“Delays in receiving the order. Advised the order was dispatched but wasn't actually dispatched until the following day. Next day delivery....... wasn't next day! When there is so much competition for business, not providing the service promised leads me to look elsewhere for the next order.”

“On placing my order I specifically asked for next day delivery and as I had processed my order at 10 am I was under the impression my order had been processed and dispatched accordingly. I received an email explaining my order had been processed and dispatched but this did not reflect on the dpd order tracking rather saying the order had not been collected this remained for the rest of the day, nothing changed on their system and no updates were available. I tried to call ratchet shop.com on at least 5 occasions during the day to discuss the order only to find the call was placed on hold and cut off or the sound of someone hanging up on me. The service was poor and I feel ripped off as I didn't have the order as requested having paid extra for the privilege of next day delivery, the order did eventually turn up however I needed the items specifically for a job and was forced to but other items to fulfil my requirement. I am not happy and have given up on trying to contact your company as nobody answers the phone, if you wish to contact me I will respond however I don't have much faith in your company at this moment in time.”

Hello there Firstly, I would like to apologise for the delay in responding to your review. We so appreciate the feedback and we are terribly sorry for the service you received. On the day of your order our courier collected only half of our parcels promising to return for the rest and did not come back so this delayed our parcels by a day. Generally speaking next day deliveries are not guaranteed as these things are, of course, out of our control. However, it is not our usual service to be unreachable. We had nightmarish problems with our telephone and internet for much of June and July making us just about "off the grid" most days despite several attempts at various back ups. We have taken action against our courier partner for the inconveniences faced by this incident and are actively working towards preventing it from happening again. In an effort to regain your trust, I have returned your delivery charge to you in full. I completely understand your frustrations and I am just sorry that we were not able to correct this sooner. I do hope we can assist you again in the future. If you have any queries at all, please don't hesitate to let me know! Best wishes Gina

Hello Chris Oh dear, we are sorry to hear this. We would like to look into this for you and get some more information on how the straps were being used and assist in replacing the faulty handle.

“I'm glad you sent me this email - I was about to phone you. I didn't even get a confirmation email from you to reply to. Product seems good, delivery was good, but I can't for the life of me get it to work! There is a small, very quick, video on your website. The man says: "Feed the webbing strap through the buckle". As if it's simple, easy and straightforward to do. I am unable to. I will look on youtube for some helpful instructions”

Hi Richard I have reviewed your order and have discovered that the products you requested were on a pre-order at the time of your order. This was indicated at point of order as well as order confirmation. As such, delivery is "next day" as the item arrives which is in line with the day you received your order. I apologise that this has caused an inconvenience, however we cannot refund your shipping as shipping was processed as agreed upon. Should you require any further assistance, I would be happy to help. Regards The Ratchet Shop

“twice i have ordered a 250 kg lever hoist 3 metre drop and twice after accepting the order you have cancelled it. i very much would like one still but if you dont stock them dont advertise them i have purchased from you a 250 kg hoist from you with the shorter chain and it is a very handy bit of kit but the longer chain ones would be better”

Good day Sorry to hear about this and apologies for the inconvenience caused. We had a slight inconsistency in our stock records which has since been corrected. We were unfortunately out of stock at the time of your order and awaiting the next delivery of inventory. We are expecting a shipment of these items this week, though. If you like I can give you a ring as soon as they come in? Sorry again! Kind regards The Ratchet Shop

Dear Mclennan Autos We do sincerely apologise for this, we totally understand the frustration.

“We ordered a 1 ton plate grab via the internet and paid extra for next day delivery and to be fair the goods did come next day. However the clamp has 1 ton marked on one side and 1/2 ton marked on the other side. I phoned and first spoke to your man on 11th April who said it was wrong and he would send out a replacement, I asked him to do that by the next day as we had paid extra to get the clamp delivered to us on 10th April and needed it. It is now 2.30 on Monday 16th and we have no replacement clamp !”

Dear Neil Apologies for the delay in receiving your goods but the delay was due to the extreme snow and we sent out a replacement order and you then received both orders on the same day. Circumstances were out of our control with the Beast from the East and subsequent heavy delays in parts of the UK. We have now sent the courier to pickup the duplicate order that was sent to you many thanks

Hi Jordan Thankyou for taking the trouble to give us a review. I have checked your delivery and I see that the goods were received and signed for at 12.05 on the 8th March You chose an economy delivery which is up to 5 working days and does not offer the same detailed tracking service as the next day delivery We hope that you are happy with your purchase and many thanks for your custom

Hi Stephen, after working with many couriers we find DPD gives the best and most accurate service. They ship millions of orders daily and the fail percentage is very low, it's very unfortunate that sometimes not everything goes the way it should do. Many thanks for ordering from us and we apologise that in this instance this issue occurred. Best Wishes Ann

POOR delivery service and would expect a full refund of delivery!”

Hi Charlie Thank you for your review, as we explained on the phone to you the DPD driver was rushed to hospital that day during his deliveries so the goods had to be taken back to the depot and sent out with a new driver. I am sure you can understand this poor driver did not fall ill maliciously and DPD were amazing to act so quickly and ensure the parcels were still out for delivery to you that day despite a driver of there's being so unwell. Our service is next day delivery we don't specify that you will have it before 5pm, we also kept you constantly updated throughout the day and told you they wouldn't be with you until 6pm at the latest but you didn't want to wait for him so you missed the delivery attempt, DPD require a signature on delivery so if you were not there they would not leave the goods. We are sorry you are not happy with their service and I am first to say they are not always perfect, however on this occasion I feel they acted quickly and professionally with this unexpected turn of events. They are only human after all. Please let me know if you need any further information on your delivery. With warm wishes Natasha
