Long anticipated but quickly delivered

I have been asking my family for the finest magnetic compass in the World for some time. Waiting…Waiting…

I bought it myself. Seamless purchase, speedy delivery, securely packaged. I could not ask for anything more. 😊

Good Choice

I was leery of ordering such an expensive compass and it getting to me fully functional. The handling and care was definitely a concern. Becketts made sure the shipping and handling would be done by hand and carefully. The package wasn't much to look at but the it arrived timely and there was no way it was going to be damaged when I got it! I made a good choice with Becketts, thank you.

Stunning compass, laborious shipping

Very high quality compass, received in pristine condition.

The reason I don't give 5 stars is the shipping (TL;DR order placed august 23th, item received october 1st). Had to make an inquiry 1 week after placing the order, got a quick response from Becketts. Item shipped soon after. I'm out of the UK, item was delayed at customs, item was kinda "lost" for a time, item was "found" again :)

In the end, I received the item in perfect condition but more than a month after placing the order. I know it's out of Becketts' hands but I'm still mentioning it in case someone think of this compass as a gift :)

Really poor service

Expensive compass ordered in March, shown at the time as in stock. Payment was taken at the time of placing the order. After 10 days of silence, first email enquiry made by me, with a reply promising an "immediate" response once looked into. After another 5 days of silence I canceled the order and asked for a refund. This was responded to with an admission that the one originally shown as in stock was in fact a display model and that mine was "on its way" and that tracking info would be provided later that day. It wasn't. The following day I repeated my cancellation request (ignored) and was told that I could only be refunded if delivery was refused and once the compass was received by Becketts. The compass was finally delivered the next day, more than 2 weeks after ordering and was retained by me, only because it had been ordered as a gift for a third party. The lack of information, false promises and failure to cancel the order and refund when first requested has made me vow not to shop with Becketts again.
