Dealing with essential Fly has been an absolute pleasure. I was not sure what I needed, so I called and spoke to Philippa, who could not have been more helpful. She did not try to sell me anything that I didn't need and simply offered excellent advice. I placed my order and everything arrived promptly. In this age of Chatbots and recorded messages, it was very refreshing to get such excellent personal service.

Used this company a few times now.... great prices, great service. Keep you up to date with your order. If items are not currently in stock they give you a realistic time frame at the point of order so you know exactly where you are.

One of the products I ordered was no longer available. Having paid for the product Essential Fly informed me that they could not source the product and refunded the money. The remaining item ordered was duly dispatched with free postage.
