We ordered a shade shield. Was delivered quickly, but unfortunately some parts were too long. Edisons were very good with support, however. We'll… Read more

shorten the parts ourselves, after a bit of back and forth. Mistakes can happen, but it's important how the supplier reacts. Edisons were very good, responded to all our mails, and even offered a small refund in recognition of the problem. Would still buy from them again without hesitation.

Couldn’t wish for better service. Team member VIK was so polite and knew exactly what I needed and was very helpful with purchasing products. Will definitely be doing business with him in the future.

This company kept trying to take money from refund for any reason possible. The item was sent back brand new and the took 20% off value to refund. I would not recommend buying anything from. This company.

warehouse. The substantial heads on the bolts meant that no matter what position you are in, installing the fixing, your driver wont slip. Also the shank seems to be more robust, so breaking the smaller fixings is not likely, where the aforementioned competitor, it was a regular occurance.

These guys still wont give up. Had another cold call from them today despite me asking to never be contacted again. We had an extremely unpleasant dealing with this company including broken promises and deception. We wont deal with them again!

I ordered a vernier caliper from Timbecon and received an email saying shipping was delayed because the item contained batteries and required… Read more

appropriate labelling.

The item only contained two CR2032 button batteries, which made the explanation seem questionable to me. I emailed Timbecon directly and asked to cancel the order.

They never replied.

Instead, they dispatched the order anyway.

The delay was frustrating, but the bigger issue was the lack of communication and the fact that my cancellation request was ignored. Based on this experience, I would not be ordering from Timbecon again.

We had a really difficult situation with some very old skylights. The Justrite team came up with a flexible solution and the workmanship was better than I expected to be honest. I was so grateful for their commitment to getting a good outcome for us.

I am so glad I visited the showroom of Bigger Boyz Toyz [BBT] at Albion Park Rail [about 20 minutes south of Wollongong and about 40 minutes north of… Read more

my home in Nowra NSW]. Scott was great on the phone and Rachel explained how everything worked on the showroom floor. We were not sure whether to get the 7 HP model with the 208cc engine or the very powerful 15 hp model [over 100 kg] with double the engine size at 420cc. So Rachel explained the differences and as we are retired and live on a one acre block with heaps of trees that keep dropping twigs and branches and we have lots of gardens and hedges [it seems almost everywhere], we wanted a machine that could cope with some fairly heavy duty chipping and mulching. The 7 hp model at around 80 kg did not have a hitch tow bar that could connect to a ride-on mower and so we decided to get the big 15 hp model which is fantastic. We tow it around over the property and it is so easy to tow.

It also has a top loading oversized hopper which is awesome. I did not realise how important this was compared with other brands not from BBT as after doing several hours of mulching leaves and shrub cuttings and hedge clippings it dawned on me that many mulchers have a hopper attached at about 45 degrees to the vertical. This means it would be so awkward to pick up handfuls of leaves and shuffle them in at a 45 degree angled compared with just dumping them right at the top in the giant upright hopper where gravity simply takes over and there is no spillage.

It also has a little 12V battery which enables a key start every time and I did not realise how crucial this is for the many stops and starts without have to use the pull cable every time [which it has as a back-up].

So I am delighted I bought the 15 hp model. The engine note barely changes when doing all the mulching as it is so powerful. It just keeps on going and going and if you have a look at the attached video it does a beautiful job mulching everything so fine it is a joy to use as mulch on the garden. Previously we had to burn mountains of clippings and try to funnel some thru the weekly garbage.

But this great machine has solved all of our mulching problems admirably.

You will be very happy if you buy this machine. Top marks to BBT for such a robust and excellent machine.

tools. So given the weight of everything, sturdiness and reliability are very important. Whilst the accessories aren't cheap, their performance lives up to their price. Very happy.

Furthermore, Arthur was super helpful and responsive and went out of his way to make sure the delivery got to my place, which wasn't straight forward given it was a new build and so not listed on Google maps.

Excellent gardening knife from Japanese Tools Australia – My new hori hori knife is now my favourite gardening tool. It is perfect for extracting deep rooted weeds as it is wonderfully strong, well balanced and sharp.

6 months ago I started my next project which was to do glass panelling around my balcony and swimming pool. I started doing research online requested… Read more

some quotes from companies. In the end after waiting for callbacks, I decided to attempt it myself. I rang around and discovered that Trade glass depot was one of the cheapest for supplies and gave me all the advice I could possibly ask for. He rejigged my plan, gave me the measurements that were necessary and with very detailed instructions, I called a couple of friends that would be able to help me as some of the glass is quite heavy. I followed the instructions to the letter and I was very surprised at how it turned out. I am very very pleased with the result and I cannot thank Phillip and the guys from trade glass of depot enough. If you take your time and don't rush it you can do a job as big as this I highly recommend this crowd they were great

processed by the store. the product was not damaged, though the box was, it was just unsuitable for purpose, which could not be seen from the online details, and my explanation accepted.

now on the way. Today is 6th May and still nothing. After reading the many other terrible reviews, I doubt whether I will ever receive my purchase, or receive a refund. In any event, I've had to buy the item elsewhere, I can't wait forever for this mob. Shonky as!
