Excellent after sales support.

I have several Burgon and Ball tools but had a problem with one. I contacted the company and quickly got a reply from Tracey was very helpful and resolved the issue in no time at all. In these times when so many services seem to falling short of providing good support, it was refreshing to have such excellent after sales support. Well done Burgon and Ball and thank you very much.

Customer service was terrible

Ordered a garden fork from them. I sent an email and said that the tracking had said "delivered" but it hadn't been delivered to me, and I had not received it. It took them FIVE DAYS to respond, and then they did, they said "the tracking says it has been delivered" ... gee thanks Sherlock. I can't believe I waited 5 days only to get *that* as a response. Will never shop there again.

Customer support is not great

Customer support is not great, and the tools are not as good quality as you would expect.

Very pleased with the spade I bought

Very pleased with the spade I bought - ground breaking spade. The shape of the blade is ideal for stoney soil. Mine did break after a while but I do not think it was poorly made. Customer services were excellent and sorted it quickly, I cannot fault the company. Excellent!!

Excellent customer service. Great Product

I had some Sophie Conran secateurs as a gift a few years back. They're Japanese style and are beautifully made, comfortable and have stayed exceptionally sharp. Unfortunately the spring broke - looked like a fault in the metal. Contacted customer services and on receiving photos Nancy sent me a replacement immediately. It was a perfect fit. First class service Nancy thank you.

I purchased a digging spade 2020

I purchased a digging spade 2020, this week the handle snapped. I contacted them via customer service and it has been the best experience I have had with a CS department (thank you Nancy) in a long time. They responded quickly. Were very patience with me as I tried to upload some photos. A replacement sent out. Great company up held their grantee/ promise will only get my gardening tools in the future from them.

B&B wriggling out of guarantee

Lopper blade bent and mis-aligned with anvil. Contacted customer service who responded rapidly with the wrong answer!, Believe it or not, replacement blades are not available. Then told lifetime guarantee available but blade deemed to be non-original, therefore no guarantee. I know this blade is original. Not impressed. Buying another brand next time.

Weeding fork

As a very experienced professional gardener I’ve always used the wolf hand forks. They last years (until you loose them) as they no longer make the fixed handle model and the changeable one feels unwieldy I against my better judgement went for the Burgon & Ball hand fork as it was a similar construction to the Wolf one’s (thick wire rather than flimsy stamped sheet steel). Within the first few minutes of use I could see the paint on the weld was flaking away and the tool was twisting. The garden I was working in is reasonably loose soil and I was only lightly weeding a well cared for bed. Within half an hour it had broken in two. Unfortunately this in my experience is quite typical for this brand. It may look good hanging in a shed but it’s of no use to a real gardener, these are props for people pretending to be gardeners plain and simple. Such a shame they’ve used recourses and energy to produce this tat and ship it round the globe when it’s entirely useless. All that energy and resources for something to only last 30 minutes. I’m even more amazed the National trust would allow their name to be seen on such environmentally costly products. Save your money and buy something decent
