Thanks for the product works a treat thanks

Took a week for my goods to arrive due to me specifying a different delivery address to the invoice address, I recieved the 'automated' email asking for proof of ID to be faxed twice despite me phoning and being told to egnore it! Spoke to one of your managers in the end, he was very apologetic and sent loads of freebies so all good in the end.

I have left the goods arrival question blank because there was a problem with an ordered item, which once solved was dealt with and resolved very quickly.excellent all round service. Thankyou, Regards Malc.

I am a New Zealander currently living/working in France. I ordered my new Thermal Arc 181i on Thursday morning just before lunch, and it was delivered to my house the following day before lunch. Tres impressionnant!!! The carton was well protected and everything was well packaged inside. I was very pleased with the great service I received from Rapid Welding and absolutely blown away by the speedy delivery, especially when considering the normally tardy French postal service. Cheers, Sean TROTMAN

Great Customer Service but i wish you had the facility to know if you actually had the product in stock. I had to wait over a week for the last item before it was delivered, whilst in this case it wasn't totally desperate for me to have it next working day i would of prefered to know that you actually had it before i ordered it.

Yvonne, Newcasle. Other suppliers approached about my requirements just got vacant looks.or comments like( nobody does that kind of equipment ) Andy sorted it out within 15 mins of my enquiry.I have no hesitation in highly recommending this company.

Amazingly quick dispatch and delivery. Thanks

I have just brought the Kemppi 251R. I'm very impressed with this machine. Have welded everything from thin galvanised sheet to 20 mm thick bases on mild steel shafts. I found this machine very easy to set up. The dynamics dail is great for reducing the splatter on the welds. I have used the machine on near full power all day with no problems. Can set it Quickly for simple fabrication tasks and get it just right for full welds.

I dealt with Andy Doe, he was first class.

Rapid welding,rapid supply,excellent service

very helpful advice,,,thank you

great on line chat

Please, give Andy the "Customer Service World Gold Medal".

Excellent service, will be using Rapid Welding supplies for future purchases

Once more very impressive service, very good stuff for the price, so much mor expensive in our countries, Why? Thanks to Europe ;-) Thank you once more

Very good service,excellent choice of products for a very good price and not to forget the quality of the product`s :) Thank you Rapid welding for the excellent machines i bought for a very good price :) Regards Kim from Norway

Very good communication between me and rapid welding, have bought again from and will continue to do so

An absolutely fantastic experience.....paid for my item at 7pm Friday night and it was at my door in Sydney Australia at 9am Monday morning. A great service and would definitely use you again.

the package was really good / the expect time delivery was very good / the only sad point is the postpone of a part of the command Thanks

Thank you for a top quality welder and excellent service.

Head and shoulders above other suppliers, great range of high quality products. Supplied me with Welding rods, Plasma cutter, Welding consumables, majority of the items arrived the next day. My experience so far has been that they are a professional business, I would and have recommended them to friends and colleagues.

Good site and products with good advice and help at the end of the telephone. Mark.

Very good service, will be back for other goods for sure!! Thank you very much.

Communication was prompt and informative. Item I ordered was not in stock so was offered alternative. Kept informed and even received parcel before Christmas! Excellent service! Many thanks

First of all, let me wish you a happy new year 2012 ! Thanks a lot for your efficiency, I got the Powemax30 and welding tables in the morning of 23th, that means that you sent the goods by Express mail without surcharge ... That's very kind and I wish to thank the whole staff of Rapid Welding or their customer care.The leather goods arrived this morning, I'm very pleased with the quality I got with ALL the products I ordered through your company : I never never never experienced a online store that has such a quality of communication, good advices and service !

I think I have found the cheapest kemppi mig welder in Europe. Thank you internet and thank you rapidwelding.

It is good to see that you stock many items that are getting harder to find , also the mini packs of specialist welding electrodes are a good idea,

I found your website to be extremely easy to use and very informative, I will definitely be looking to use your company again. Phil Rosier PR Engineering

Excellent service, the goods arrived at the stated time and are top quality and very good value for money. Thank you

I'm first time customer. Excellent service. Ordered item was out of stock but I received very good info when the shipping will be done. Tracking feature is very useful. Fast delivery to Finland.

As indicated above, I am very pleased with the service prior to my placing of the order, and afterwards also. All questions and inquiries were very promptly attended to, and the shipping to a UK address (I live in Sweden) went very well as well. Good work.

the late delivery was more due to the french postal services, which tend to slow down during the summer holidays. I appreciate the personel service, this is to say that I just simply telephone when I need info. Well done rapid welding, you keep the proffession alive.

Hi As a first time customer for buying welding eguipment and without no previous experience of welding. And doing it from foreign country and not on my native language, you can imagine that your site is more than just good. I got enough information to jump ahead and made my first order. Thank you. Jouko Nikko

Your communications are great. Instant chat and telephone advice made an easy job of my complicated purchase requirements. Andy was very helpful.

Had a product sent to me that was wrong. I returned the product and the exchange was on my front door in 24 Hours. Very impressed. In this day where time is money they were ahead of the game. No fuss. Easy will use again. Steve

There is simply no need to go anywhere else.

Good products at a good price, quick response to questions and fast delivery

Great Service , Excellent comms , Rapid postage A++++++++++++

We have used Rapid Welding for many years and always pleased with the service www.vandf.co.uk

Excellent communication and prompt delivery. Can't really get any better than this! Only minor point, I was after a 3m maintainable respirator and flame retardent overalls but couldn't find these on your site.

For my first command I'm very happy, the communication is very good and the price is competitive.In the French Forum Welder the rapidwelding as a good reputation

The service I received was far beyond what I have grown to expect from the usual take your money and go to hell attitude shown by too many suppliers. Many thanks for restoring my faith in customer service. Peter Bradley Engineering

Very efficient fast service and good quality products, our first port of call for welding consumables

Although I am just buying for my own personal use I will definatley purchase from you again.

I found Rapid to be a very good service, good communication,even phoned me about a part I had mis-ordered, fast delivery.well packaged.wide choice of parts,reasonably priced. I will recommend to my friends & family. regards Brian.

No complaints I am very satisfied with both handling, information and the good I bought!

A quick and easy to use website. simple account setup and payment. Good communications and quick delivery. What's not to like!?

prix exceptionnels, livraison rapide et sans problème,un site web hors pair pour la soudure. Un grand Merci depuis la Suisse.

I appreciate being able to buy stuff without having to create an account and sign in and all that rubbish. I am sorry but my welding product use is so small, it is mainly electrodes for a jewellery welder, but I do recommend you to every other user of the same machine. The machine is aLampert PUK 3 welder from Germany Best wishes Geoffrey

Goods were out of stock so despatch was delayed by a few days. Otherwise it was a good shopping experience. Thanks

I think you have the best customer service team that i have dealt with for years. Honest friendly and a pleasure to deal with. thumbs up folks :)

Thanks guys, great service, spoke to one of you on the phone to track my order, pleasnt, professional and very helpful. Adressed me by my first name which is nice. Soon as I can get this welder fired up I'll be in touch for consumables. good work guys, pleasure doing business with you. Nick Benbow.

A very quick and efficient service and very secure with payment details all in all excellant.

Delivered bang on time, excellent customer service and we look forward to dealing with you again!

Appreciate the gas fittings and plug adapter thrown in, made the machine ready to go, no need to raid another welder! Thanks

I Feel It Would Have Been More Professional To Have Used An "O" Clip Rather Than A Jubilee Clip On The Argon Hose, And The First Three Pages Of The User Manual (English Version) Were Ripped At The Stappled Edge,Other Version Perfect.

The site, stock and speed of dispatch was much improved on the last time I bought items from RW. It was never poor- however getting items especially machine parts a few days earlier than expected is always useful. The lads on the desk were good too, calling me back. Anyway I have recommended RW to my studio neighbours. Yours, Steve Lewis

Just one notice,can you make a french translate of your website...

absolutely first class service and fantastic price

bonjour votre cite et au top . juste une remarque a fair juste joindre une facture au devis du pays concernant la acheteur ça serai le top du top vois la merci d'avance

I have used you guys several times in the past and consistently receive a good service at a competitive price. Professional quality products stocked. Well done! The fact that I recommend you means that you have succeeded. Really – well done.

Al menos, desde Galicia, lo adquirido en sus instalaciones ha sido "una maravilla", darle mi más sentida enhorabuena. In English, je,je,je At least, from Galicia, it acquired in its facilities has been "wonderful" to give my most heartfelt congratulations.

I received an email saying my order would be delayed by about a week. This was at odds with the information on your website and I nearly cancelled and went elsewhere. I then received an email saying it was being despatched and it arrived next day. This is the third time I have bought from you and I have been extremely impressed with the quality of advice and service. Your website is an object lesson in how to make it clear comprehensive and easy to use.

Only problem I have is that I felt the postage price was a bit heavy but I reckon in the future I´ll get stuff sent to my UK address and forwarded from there. Thanks a lot.

Dear sir/madam I received the products late due to snow before xmas - this was no fault of rapid welding supplies Regards

A good company that I'll highly recommend to other people. Mikael Gustavsson
