We placed an order for a 3m Fit testing kit the order was processed online and paid for. The item was not showing out of stock and still is not. I have made several phone calls as we are local and wished to collect leaving messages to which i have had no replies. We have e mailed 2-3 times again with no replies. We have now had to look to recover money via the bank system. Awful customer service No communication

I ordered some boots & glasses from these people & was very concerned when I read all the reviews. I told them this & kept on at them & I eventually got my goods as they assured me I would. I have had difficulty obtaining Dr Marten rigger boots in the past so I gave these guys the benefit of the doubt.
They did what they said they would do.

I ordered an expensive JSP Thruxton Safety Helmet with Mounted Ear Defenders (Black), what they sent me after waiting over 2 weeks was some cheap plastic rubbish with tacky cheap ear defenders (which were a puce reddish colour).
Stay well away from this company they are timewasters.

I DIDNT GET MY SHOES OR MY MONEY BACK. Sadly it too much hassle to pursue and authorities don't seem to care.

I ordered some shoes from Davronline on 6th August this year, today is 6th Sept and still no shoes. They say that they refunded my money 20th Aug but I am still waiting for shoes or money. Only ever get answer phone and they never call back.

What an unprofessional company. Keen to give abuse, but not the correct product. I wish I had read these reviews before making my purchase... A V O I D A T A L L C O S T S!

DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE ANY STARS BUT HAD TO IN ORDER TO SUBMIT THIS RATING. He sounds classy, but isn't when it comes to customer service.

Stay away from these criminals. Took my money and delivered nothing. One star is way too much for them. After 3 years still no refund or boots.

This lot are a NOT to be trusted... Looks like I will be going through the small claims court.
No response from numerous emails. Managed to get them to answer phone (option 2 for sales) Have been promised refund but still waiting. The are quick to take your money but not too keen on giving it back when they cannot supply you with the product ordered.

H ave to agree with all comments from other reviewers. Only helpful information I have is that if you have paid by credit card contact the issuer and they will give you a refund. As we speak Trading Standards are investigating. Well worth while contacting them.

Be very wary of ordering anything from this site. Placed an order for some safety shoes. The money was immediately taken from my card, but still no shoes. Ignores emails and telephone goes straight to answering machine and messages are ignored. Have referred the matter to Trading Standards as con-men like this should be stopped.

Do not order anything from this firm. Davronline need to be reported to the consumer affairs people. I ordered items in august and september 2008 and have recieved nothing. I am out of pocket by £60. The phones are not picked up, emails and recorded delivery letters do not get a reply. Those running davronline are very unsavoury. I'd say they are thieves.

Appalling servie and first time I have had a problem with online shopping. I ordered a safety helment for my son to take on Geology field trip to Sicily. As at 10 April order is still in 'processing' status. Money taken from credit card on day of order. Phone number on email order confirmation is unobtainable and 0844 number on website is answerphone. My emails have not been answered. Subsequently have seen customer feedback so have little hope of ever getting the item ordered or money back. If item is not delivered or emials replied to within another week I shall be putting matters in the hands of my credit card company to effect a refund and notifying Trading Standards in the hope that this company and its website will be shut down immediately. It also trades as Teknovate Limited.

This website is a a complete con. DO NOT USE THEM. They do not answer your messages and after about 15 attempts I finally got through. The manager Simon will lie stating he has given you a refund if you are eligable but actually does not. He is also a very rude and obnoxious man. The webiste states a refund policy but they will not keep to the laws. USE ANY SITE BUT THEM.

I ordered some safety boot from them several months ago and I am still waiting, they have ignored my e-mails. They have literally taken the money and run. I have since lost my order number so the chance of me getting a refund from these scallies is remote.

Rip off merchants - This company seem to be very keen to take your money, and provide nothing. Order was placed on the 10th November this year, a confirmation reciept recieved, the money taken out of my account, and then nothing.
All emails have been ignored, The telephone goes straight to answerphone, and they fail to reply to any messages left. This is the first time that I have been ripped of on the net

On 28 July 2009 I placed an order with Davronline for a pair of steel toe safety boots. They advised by return that my order had been successful and the payment (46.45 GBP) was taken from my Visa account. I do not live in the UK and found this company by searching on line. My son was visiting me in August so ordered the boots in plenty of time for him to bring with him. We are now heading to the end of October, my sons visit has been and gone and I still have no boots, and no refund. I have called time and time again and been told by the same male voice that my refund is in hand. It quite obviously is not. Today I rang yet again and received the same smart $#*! remarks from the same male answering the telephone. Whether I will ever see my money I do not know. But be warned - this company should no be trusted. Do not buy from them online. If I knew then what I now know about Davronline I would not touch them with a barge pole.

Total scammers and con artists. They are swift to take debit your money but very reluctant to send the goods. I placed an order for a pair of steel toe boots for my son, money was debited straight away ( as usual) checked their website and it said order still in process! 3 weeks later no boots, I have called, emailed, threatened to contact training standards and the police; all with no success. All i want is my money back. PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT buy from these con artists, you will regret it! When you ring their so called customer service, they promise to get back to you in 6 hours; yeah right! ( more like 6 years) Only God knows how many people have been conned in this manner. They need to be exposed and shamed and then closed down FOR GOOD What a joke! PLease try wwww.screwfix.com foryour rigger boots, safety equipment etc,,, Their customer service is second to none, and they deliver right on time. Order from davronline AT YOUR OWN RISK... Ruth

AVOID THIS COMPANY there are not enough words in the dictionary to descibe how bad this company is. I tried to order some safety shoes online and the payment came back as unsuccessful, so I tried again and the same thing happened so I went elsewhere. 2 days later checked my credit card statement and they had taken the payment 3 times £51.95 so phoned them several times - no answer, so emailed them - no answer after 3 e-mails I got a reply saying to call them. I explained what had happened and they said that i had placed an order for 2 pairs of shoes but the 3rd was an error and they would refund - which they did. I said that as far as i was concerned the orders hadn't gone through, i got no confirmation or anything and why would i want 2 pairs. I was told that once I had recieved them to return what i didn't want for a refund. I recieved the shoes and returned them back the same day, i hadn't heard anything so again called them - no answer so emailed them - no answer, after second e-mail was sent a mobile number to call. I was told that they don't to refunds! According to their site the payments didn't go through so therefore these shoes were not odered, i was told to return them by Davro then i got called a lier- "we wouldn't have said return them we don't do refunds" I know what was said! Then i got told that i was wasting their time having the conversation on the phone with them, VERY VERY RUDE - can't believe that they treat and speak to customers in this way, the scammers should have their business closed. So I have no shoes and no refund out of pocket by £103. Have contacted Trading Standards who are looking into this and am thinking of going to the police - they are frauding innocent people out of their money. There are bad reviews about this company on many many sites - just wish i had seen the reviews before I ever ordered from them.
