Customer Comments

We have been a mail order supplier for over twenty years, and during that time have received many comments from our customers, most of them printable! However we are still pleasantly surprised that customers take the time and trouble to tell us of their experiences. A few of the many comments received are shown below.

Customer Comments

Swift delivery time

“I am so pleased with the tools and even more pleased with the swift delivery time.
You are a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant postage & package delivery era.”
PS Liskeard

Catalogue layout

“I was very impressed with the lay out of the catalogue plus the easy to use price list. Could you please send another order form with the goods.”
MC Margate

Where I think you shine

“One again I have received excellent service from your company!
Although I must be a very minor customer to you, a small order placed yesterday arrived in the post by 8.30am.
Many companies offer 'Customer Service' but yours really 'means what is says on the tin'.
There are four areas especially where I think you shine:-
1. A simple straightforward catalogue, easy to follow with good illustrations and ordering instructions.
2. To order on the telephone is a pleasure for the faff-free contact. Entirely painless and even free!
3. Postage included in the cutter price and not an expensive addition (i.e. rip off).
4. Last but certainly not least, a really excellent product that works and lasts really well.
I wish you well for the future, you deserve it.”
JPN Aberdare

Impessive delivery

“Dear Sir, Madame,
On December 9th, around lunch time, I sent you a small order by fax. The following morning the goods had already arrived by 1st class mail. I was impressed. If your cutters, which I have not yet had time to try out, are only half as good as your service their quality must be excellent! Thank you very much.”
HM London

Much appreciated

“About time I thanked you for your excellent service. It is absolutely incredible, and much appreciated by a small customer such as myself. Many thanks.”
JWW Saltash

Customer satisfaction

“Dear Sirs,
I just could not let my recent experience pass without some comment. I have just taken early retirement from the largest communications company in Britain. I always made a point to my staff of achieving customer satisfaction. To occupy my now spare time and to avoid boredom I have taken to woodwork. hence the router cutters from your Company. Back to customer satisfaction. I posted my small, but to me an important order on Friday 3rd May and to my amazement my order arrived 1st. post this AM. The service that you have provided is excellent, and I look forward to dealing with your Company again in the not too distant future.”
JF Marden

Job well done

“To: stuart@thegrncgroup.com
Subject: Praise for Wealden
Dear Editor
I would like to take this opportunity to point out just how good a service the Wealden Tool Company provide. Not only are their cutters of excellent Quality, at a very affordable price, their delivery service is second to none.
To prove my point I wanted some cutters for a job I am in the middle of, but forgot to order them in the morning. I didn't remember about them until 4:15pm. To my surprise and delight they arrived the very next morning at 7:30am.
Not bad going considering it's the first week in December what with the Christmas post rush, and the fact I live in N.Ireland.
With service like this why would I bother to travel 10 miles to my nearest cutter suppler and pay a lot more for a similar product. Thanks Wealden job well done.”
FK Londonderry

Recommendation

“Hi there!
I’ve just seen your company recommended on another site (Screwfix Discussion page). It appears to be highly rated by the professionals in terms of price, quality etc.
Any chance of a catalogue to peruse please?
Ta.”

Not first class

“Dear Sirs,
The enclosed package, for which you kindly provided a replacement on its previous non arrival, was delivered today after spending one month in the “First Class” post.
I therefore return it herewith with thanks for your service, but not any for that of the Post Office.”
WDG Leatherhead

Our mutual success

“I take this opportunity to thank you for your help last year in identifying and supplying - very promptly - a suitable 6.4mm grooving cutter for work in completing a 6- foot diameter extending circular dining table. I enclose a photograph of the table as proof of our mutual success! For your interest, the table top is figured cherry veneer, the pedestal solid cherry. ‘Your’ grooves are all concealed in this photograph, but they provide for the curved-tongue connection between the outer edge of the central table (4-foot dia.) and the inner curved edges of the four segmental outer extension-leaves. I used an Elu M0F98 router for this rather tricky task rather than its heavier big brother, simply because it was lighter and easier to control around the curved edges.
With best wishes,”
JB Necton

Amazing value

“I have just received my first order from you, which took only three working days to execute, and I am writing to say how delighted I am at the efficiency of your service for a relatively small order, how impressed I am at the quality of the products and the amazing value to money.
You may be sure that this will not be my last order to your excellent company. Again thanks”
G.R. Alderley Edge

We live and learn

“Very many thanks for lending me the joint sample, which I return, herewith. As you said on the phone, 'once seen the finished joint I would realise just how easy it is to produce’ I guess we live and learn.
I would like to take this opportunity of expressing my appreciation of your very efficient service and your excellent router cutters. Yours are the only ones I buy and use and have now built up quite a large collection over the years. I shall continue to purchase from you.
Thanks again,”
KS Ipswich

Prompt attention

“Thank you for attending so promptly to my last order on 6/8/01 - the cutter arrived this morning and was at work shortly afterwards. I would now like to order the following: One T916B-1/2 chamfer cutter, 45 ° at £21-85 plus P & P.
Please send to my address in France, as you did previously. Please use the card details previously supplied as payment.
I must congratulate you at Wealden for the excellent service you provide. It is a pleasure to do business with you!”
RHJ Le Vieux Marche

Service recommendation

“About two years ago I purchased some of your router cutters. They have given me good service and I would recommend them to anyone.”
PB Mexboro

Excellent service

“On The 26th July I ordered a cutter unfortunately you did not have one in stock but you could get one from Germany.
By 9.00 am on the 28th July it was being used. Is that good service or what?
Excellent.”
RP Citheroe

No fuss action

“May I add my thanks to the many others you have received for the courteous and prompt manner in which you have dealt with my orders, none of which has been large, but nonetheless important to me. In particular, your instant no-fuss action when I reported a minor manufacturing fault was refreshing to say the least.
Thank you again, and may you always be around to serve amateurs like myself.”
AJC Wallington

Pricing structure

“Please excuse the note written in haste. I have placed and received orders for cutters in the last couple of months and have been pleasantly impressed by your efficiency, quality and pleasant demeanor. I also remain impressed by your pricing policy structure compared to some competitors.”
AM Barnsley

Constructive advice

“I would like to take this oportunity to comment on your excellent customer service: I started my day feeling like a fool for making such an elementary error and when I phoned yourselves I imagined an off-hand response to my predicament. Nothing could be further from the truth; you were understanding, thoughtful and constructive in your advice and helped me to think of ways out of the situation. Your service is now a bench-mark by which I will judge all suppliers. Needless to say I will approach Wealden first when contemplating my next and future cutter requirements. Very well done!
I look forward to speaking to you again in the very near future.
AJ Saltdean

Catalogue detail

The panel trim you sent is excellent and has already completed the job for which it was purchased. Your reputation for good quality and excellent service goes on. Your catalogue is so detailed and this detail I really appreciate.”
BC Darlington

Over enthusiastic praise

“May I thank and congratulate you on the speedy and efficient response to my telephoned enquiry of Monday last (14th August). I certainly did not expect to receive the saw blade by first post the next day.
Thank you also for the catalogue you enclosed. If I had seen the letters inside the front cover before I had ordered I might have thought that your clients were perhaps being a little over enthusiastic in their praise. However, I now know that they are absolutely correct in all respects. Courteous and helpful advice over the telephone, prompt dispatch, free post and packaging, oh yes and by far the cheapest product I discovered. All this in spite of the fact that I only required a single relatively inexpensive item.
Thank you again.”
BMC Great Bookham

Excellent most competitive prices

“I would like to compliment you on your company’s service, the quality of its products and the excellent most competitive prices. I am now retired but I have spent the whole of my working life in the timber industry in one capacity or another. I now have my own small workshop and make furniture for family and relatives; also, I make some toys for the children.
The cutters I have purchased from your company have all performed excellently even on some of the most difficult to work timbers. My most recent purchase was your linen fold set, which was easy to use and performed very well indeed although I thought that the end detail needed a little more impact. I redesigned the end detail, produced a functional jig and from that a number of plaques for an Oak writing bureau I am making. The end result I believe is good and replicates a little closer to the hand made linen fold panels of the past. I have included a sample of my design with this letter. Once again, may I reiterate my earlier congratulations both of the service and the products and finish by saying that I will almost certainly be buying more from you in the future?”
GWN Beeston

A happy customer

“Thank you for your prompt attention, you have what all businesses need, a happy customer. Indeed you must have many such people who deal with you regularly. I use your service levels as the yardstick by which I measure all of the mail-order companies I deal with.
Appreciatively Yours”
MJ Thringstone

Shocked to pay so much

“I thought I would write in addition to your questionaire. The range of cutters previously purchased from you over the years has served me very well indeed. I find only the rare instance nowadays to add to that range - hence not purchasing any recently.
I have only ever bought one other cutter from another well known company and have been shocked to have had to pay so much more for what I believe to be no better in quality than yours!
Would be glad to receive your new catalogue soon and hope to see that you may make cutters for 1/12th scale miniature work. Will have to go back to that other expensive company if not!”
KCS Ipswich

Remain a customer in Norway

“Please forward your mail order information pack. I shall write for a quotation on any items ordered in order that you may quote to me the correct postage price. I was a regular customer of yours up to last year when I was living in England and I am so pleased with your goods and services I'd like to remain a customer now that I am living in Norway.”
FS 3900 Porsgrunn

Excellent router cutters

“Thank you for my prompt delivery of T3910. Another of your excellent router cutters; everyone I've told about them who has tried them says how pleased they are with their quality!”
RJD Dover

Faster service

“Just a word regarding your service. I think it is without doubt the best service I have ever had. It takes 10 days from posting my order to when I get my cutters. It's a faster service than I could get in New Zealand.”
AP Canterbury, New Zealand

Top of the tree

“I thank you for the delivery of my router cutter. This morning. I was amazed at your service. It certainly is express. I have dealt with other mail order firms who make promises they don't fulfil. You are at the top of the tree for me.”
WV Macclesfield

I've tried most

“I don't think I've ever come across a company as efficient as yours. Not only is the service incredible, the cutters are probably the best on the market. I've tried most of them. I, for one, wouldn't go anywhere else.”
DB Plymouth

Costing twice as much

“May I just take this opportunity to congratulate you for your fast efficient service. I have found the tooling supplied by yourselves as good as, if not better than, other tooling costing in some cases twice as much.”
KW Gainsborough

Great shame

“Many thanks for giving such a wonderful service: good tools, good price, immediate delivery. Everything you say at the front of your catalogue is true and a great credit to you all. It's a great shame there are not more companies operating in the same manner.”
PD Coventry

Absolutely beautiful

“Just to let you know carriers delivered 9am , ordered yesterday pm. Brilliant! Kit is absolutely beautiful. Thank you.”
