“Incorrect, subpar item sent. Originally arranged with cust service to keep the product in exchange for a refund of the price difference. Now I am having to ask PayPal to investigate as customer service seem to be unable to provide any immediate support and keep advising their "managers" are not proceeding. 0 star experience”

“Hi, I’m not sure you want to hear my feedback. I’m half way through a job and only have half my equipment. Donna spears is very helpful and good at her job. I went with univar because you were more reasonably priced and I’d prefer not to give my money to amazon if I can help it. I was expecting my parcel on Saturday/Sunday at the latest. It never arrived do had to get it redirected. Now in Dorset, the only tracking information is that it is delayed. I’d shop again If I had no time issue.”

“We order the stock that was showing on the website as we had an urgent job, we got delivery 1 month later !!!!!! Too late for the job it was needed for had to source from another supplier Would struggle to use this company again the website either doesn't reflect the correct stock or they gave it to other customers *** not trusted ***”

We have a POD from our Carriers that this was delivered on 22/06, we are currently asking them for further details on this. I have tried to call you on the number you have given but this doesn't appear to be a valid number?

“Well I submitted a review after a disappointing experience with an order where two bottles leaked in transit. Univar said I would be contacted to resolve it after they read the review. I’d already tried ringing and didn’t get though. I sent an email and got a confirmation saying they would get back to me. It’s now been 6 weeks and I’ve heard nothing. Even allowing for the current COVID situation I can’t comprehend a company can’t get back to a customer who’s had a bad experience within a month and a half! Hence me changing my rating to one star.”

“Here's an email I sent to you a few days ago. Needless to say I got no reply & the order was sent incomplete Hello I'm getting nothing from you and am receiving conflicting information * I made an email enquiry that was unanswered so I had to repeat using online chat * My attempt to order online failed because your system repeatedly froze & I had to complete the order on the telephone *You told me the Wooster brush I ordered was OOS. It showed in stock even after your advice. * I sent two emails after your advice which have not been acknowledged -whether they have been acted upon I still don't know. * I have an advice that my order has been shipped with all original content --but * I have an invoice that does not show any Wooster brush ( either the original or the suggested replacement) at all * I still don't know what I'm going to get & when I'm going to get it So from my seat your organisation has taken every possible opportunity to get things wrong on a very simple order. Most unimpressive. David Henderson”
