My Wife purchased a water feature (Item SS*******) from Amazon, sold by 'The Magic Toy Shop'. It was with money given to her for her 70th Birthday. When it arrived on the 14th of February, it was put away to await her birthday. On her birthday (March 30th) it was unpacked and assembled as per instructions and left for 24 hours for the Solar panel to charge the battery. The next day it was switched on and worked perfectly. It ran properly for a whole week and then the pump stopped working. We contacted the seller and asked for a replacement pump.
They responded that as the 'Return' window had closed and they didn't do an extended warranty they could not help. I emailed them again and said that under the Sale of Goods act, they were responsible for it. They never replied. We tried to go through Amazon, but they wanted us to contact the seller, which we had already done and there was now way we could find to contact Amazon directly about the problem.
Yet again we have tried to contact the seller at Amazon's insistence but I am not expecting much joy from that.

Tip for consumers:
This firm tries to avoid its legal responsibilities in regard to faulty items

Verified purchase

Tayna.co.uk carry a massive stock of lead acid batteries for all types of motor vehicle, scooter, mobility scooters and hoists. You name it they have a battery to suit. Their web site is easy to use, you can select a battery by type number, voltage and capacity and even by inputting the size you need in millimetres. Delivery charges are very fair, starting from £4-99 at time of review. Most battery prices are discounted and there are various makes available as well. Delivery is fast, usually quoted as 48 hours, but most of my orders have been 24 hour. My last order was 48 hours, as I live on an Island and was cut off by fog for a day. They have an excellent email service for answering queries. I have used them for 10 years now to supply wheelchair and hoist batteries and have recommended them to many people.

Tip for consumers:
Based in Wales and delivering to most of the UK

Products used:
Yuasa 5amp 12 volt batteries, 6 of them

  • Cartridge Save

I have dealt with CartridgeSave for over 10 years and have found them to be prompt and reliable. Their compatible ink and toner cartridges are magic, I have never had any problems with them. They also sell printers and I have just ordered a new printer, only a cheapy Canon TS205, nice little machine by the way.
I ordered it on Friday, and living on an off-shore Island, didn't expect next day delivery, but Monday morning, door bell goes and there is the man with the printer. How about that for service. As I said, Top Notch. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Nothing to say the goods come from china, they take ages to arrive and once you have ordered from them you can never get shot of their spamming emails
