A Memorable Experience Thanks to a Wonderful Team Member

We had a fantastic experience today thanks to a team member from the aquarium section. I was visiting with a client I support as a care assistant, and this individual made a significant positive impact on our day. They were incredibly friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable, clearly showing how much they enjoy their work. My client engaged in a conversation, and they kindly dedicated their time, making her feel completely at ease. They even returned later while we were observing the koi carp and thoughtfully brought us some fish food to feed them, which was such a lovely gesture. This team member truly went above and beyond, and it was evident that they enjoyed interacting with us. My client expressed that they made her day, and honestly, they made mine as well. It was heartwarming to witness someone take such pride and care in their role. This individual is a true asset to the company and deserves recognition, if not Employee of the Month. Thank you for your kindness and for making our visit so special!

DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE

DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. My 600l tank burst, and I contacted the company for a replacement. The representative assured me they had a complete set in stock, including the tank, stand, filter, light, and heater. I reserved it over the phone to pick up after work. Upon arrival, I paid £300 for the package that clearly stated "WITH STAND" on the box. However, when I got home and started unpacking, I discovered there was no stand included. I called back, only to find out that the stand costs an additional £140! Now, my tank is on the floor with my fish, as I have no other place for them. I strongly advise against using this service!

AWFUL EXPERIENCE

AWFUL. My large tank burst, and when I contacted the company for a replacement, the representative assured me there was a complete set in stock. I reserved it for pickup that evening. Upon arrival, I paid a significant amount only to discover the stand was missing. I called back and was informed that the stand would cost extra! Now, I have a tank on the floor with my fish, as I had no other place for them. AVOID THIS COMPANY!

Helpful Staff and Great Products

I purchased some fish for my pond, and the young staff member provided excellent advice on how to deter the heron that had been a problem. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and even offered me a discount. Much appreciated!

Frustrating Experience

After ordering a fish tank for click and collect and paying for it, I traveled a long distance only to find out they no longer had it in stock. It took over a week to get my money back, leaving me significantly out of pocket. They offered no compensation, just an apology. I expected at least a store credit or something similar, but nothing was provided.

Top Store in the Area

As a local from the area, I can confidently say this shop is the best around. I've stopped visiting the others due to cleanliness issues and the frequent presence of dead fish.

Disappointing Fish Purchase

I bought some fish, which ended up having many offspring. When I called to see if they would take them back, they agreed but wouldn’t pay for them. I understood that but was surprised when I asked for bags to transport them and was told I could buy them online instead.

Unsatisfactory Service

I ordered a tank for click and collect and waited a long time at the store, but had to leave due to other commitments. I plan to cancel my order and shop elsewhere, as the staff were not helpful. Very dissatisfied.

Great Experience at Newport Shop

Visited the Newport location and purchased marine fish along with a cleanup crew. The staff member was very helpful, and all the fish are thriving. I will definitely return.

Good Overall Experience

I recently visited the local stores for fish and tank supplies, and everything went well. I’m giving four stars because my initial visit was a bit rushed, but my recent experience was much improved.
