Rocket Aquatics

a great looking pond /water feature

if you like fish and like looking at them this product is great , a little fiddly
to put together but well worth the time and effort required (first spotted this at my local aquatics centre and even they could not secure the pond liner in the back corners it is possible with time don't let this put you off ) far better than a hole in the ground, looks like my fish think so as well , so to sum up great, and a lot cheaper from rocket aquatics than my local aquatics centre .

Rocket Aquatics

Perfect from start to finish

I buy from this company because they are 99% of the time cheaper than everybody else and they get your order to you in super fast time, ive used them before and I will continue to use them again.

Rocket Aquatics

No problems with order or delivery

There was no trouble finding the product I wanted to order, no problems in ordering it, and it was delivered in good time.

Rocket Aquatics

very pleased with purchase and delivery service would use again

Rocket Aquatics

brilliant service and will use again

I placed my order in Friday and the tank was delivered on Tuesday really well packaged up and I even had a email stating a hour deliver slot so I knew when it would be here and everything went very smooth from the transaction to delivery i'm very pleased with the service provided.

Rocket Aquatics

Excellent Service

I was unsure exactly what my requirements were and following a telephone call to Rocket Aquatics, I was given all the info and help I needed. Excellent customer service and once I had placed my ordered online, delivery was exactly as expected. First class all the way. Would have no problem recommending them and will certainly use them again.

Rocket Aquatics

Poor customer service

Ordered a vivarium which is now over a week overdue.
Company rep could not even be bothered to query with there courier, instead asking me to chase it up. Still have no idea if I'm getting my delivery as there courier service is giving me the run around with the usual it's left the depot no it hasn't yes it has routine. So I'm very unlikely to shop here again

Rocket Aquatics

Great service and product .

I purchased a Juwel Korall 60 goldfish aquarium , it was delivered within 2 days and the courier text me on the day with a one hour time slot which helped and he was on time . Item was very well packaged and aquarium set up easily . I am extremely pleased with product and overall service . Recommended .

Rocket Aquatics

very fast despach shame that goods not as should be

I ordered an aquael fish tank set up which was promptly sent and very well packed,however the heater supplied is not up to the job and is clearly marked as being for a smaller fish tank. I contacted rocket about this but they do not seem interested in correcting the mistake.With a bit more customer after care they could have got full marks.

Reply from Rocket Aquatics

Hi, we have looked into this again. This is the AquaEl 75 watt heater that is supplied with this tank by AquaEl (the manufacturer). As a rule of thumb, approx. 1 watt is needed per 1 Litre of water so it is a little underpowered for a 98L tank, but it depends a lot on the ambient temperature of your room. The manufacturer obviously considers this to be OK and we have sold hundreds of these aquariums and have never received any complaints. However we stand by our original response to you. If you are unhappy with the heater, please return it and we will replace it with a 100 Watt heater even though this is not what the manufacturer supplies. We will report this to the manufacturer and perhaps you would like to do the same? I hope this helps.

Fast, Efficient, Friendly & Helpful

Ordered a Jewel 450 Fish tank over the internet. I rang to ask a few questions in advance all were answered by a very helpful and friendly person over the phone. Some of the smaller free items arrived the next day, the rest arrived on time via Longs of Leeds who rang the day before to arrange a convenient time to deliver. The driver was polite and friendly and helped offload the tank, stones and cabinet right into my front room.

I rang up the same day with a few questions, notably did I have to wash the gravel which was not obvious again friendly and helpful service advising me to and how to wash them.

Great experience would use again.

Rocket Aquatics

Prompt delivery, quality product, happy daughter!

I bought the Juwel Korall 60 Goldfish Aquarium as an upgrade for my daughter. Delivery was very prompt (2 working days) and the on-line process for changing the delivery date was very simple. I received an email at 9.15am on the day of delivery notifying me of the 1 hour delivery slot I was allocated for that day.
The tank was well packaged and all was intact.
The tank was easy to set up, the filter seems to be very powerful, so hopefully we shouldn't need to do too much cleaning. The light is very bright and provides good viewing of the complete tank. All in all a good buy, cheaper than anywhere else I could find online. I now have a happy daughter and happy fish!

Rocket Aquatics

Untrustworthy

Order received in good time, but supplied plastered with "buy one, get one free" stickers. When I supplied picture of packaging with stickers (and my order despatch note) and asked about offer, I was told " it's only valid for retailers, I.e. shops". I though you guys were retailers.
For the fact you are not that much cheaper and the fact you scammed me out of a free lamp, why chance upsetting a possible regular customer? All for £20? Such a shame that you think you can screw the normal person, or as we like to be called "the customer".

Rocket Aquatics

Easy ordering and fast delivery

Item as described, order turned up on time, great communication would use again

Highly reccommend A+

Rocket Aquatics

Rapid Rocket

I have always trusted Rocket Aquatics, still no reason not to. Place your order, sit back and before you know it, it is delivered to your door.

I can rely on Rocket Aquatics to get the right item, at the right price. Quality items at a quality price, I would recommend them for all your needs.

Thanks for a really Great Service.

will highly recommened to people who i know and need fish tank equipment

Were very good with keeping me up to date with where my order was and when it would be delievered. Delievery was when it said it would be. I had no problems finding what i wanted on the web size and thank goodnes they had what i needed because i couldnt find it my going on amazon or ebay like i would have normally done. While i was browsing these other sites it was recommended to try this one and i am so grateful as i had just brought some new fish for my tank and they didnt have any light and being tropical fish they really need it so i wa able to order what i needed and it came on a tuesday when i had ordered it on a sunday night.

Rocket Aquatics

Fast delivery well packed

Product was cheapest I could find online ordered one day delivered next! Was very very well packef they must go through a ton of bubble wrap however glad of that after I sern the delivery man chuck lots of boxes about to get to mine and then was quite rough handling my box. Only problem was heater supplied as part of pack was a 75w which isnt suitable for tank they say thats supplier problem and havr agreed to exchange hopefully get that soon....

Rocket Aquatics

Very Poor Customer Service

I ordered a Viviarum, which I believe is faulty, however your company suggest no in fact insisted that I had assembled it incorrectly................ Very reluctant to change item overall would not recommend this company to anyone will never do any further business with you think your company is PANTS

Rocket Aquatics

Outstanding Service and communication.

Ordered a Rio 240 Lite Unit for my Tank and discovered after it was delivered that I have in fact got a Rio 180 tank. On contacting the company a very friendly and helpful member of staff immediately said no problem I could have a refund on the first order ( which was entirely my fault ) and they would send out the replacement as soon as they received the second order. As it was over Christmas I was expecting delivery on the 13th of January but was delighted ( As were my fish ) that the unit arrived on the 4th January. In this day and age of slap happy service it is so refreshing to find a company that obviously care about customer service. I will be buying from them exclusively from now on and will recommend them to all my friends.

Great service

I ordered a new vivarium and the item arrived very quickly and was packaged really well, the communication beforehand re the items arrival was excellent and I will and have recommended my reptile keeping friends to visit this site.

Rocket Aquatics

Very quick delivery considering it was Christmas week and well packed.

Ordered 2 items the first to arrive was the Juwel 60 tank. Extremely well wrapped and protected by yards of bubble wrap and cardboard, no cracks or breaks in the glass.
The second item which was marked on the advice note as to follow. Would of been helpful if they had said when it was to follow. I telephoned Rocket to find out if it had been dispatched only to get the answerphone telling me they had closed for Christmas.
This left me wandering if I should go to the local pet shop to purchase off the shelf as it was the New Aquarium start up kit. The next day however I had the second delivery and so panic over. Very good price and all items delivered within 3 days I wiil use them again.

Rocket Aquatics

Poor Customer Service

I purchased a Reef One Biorb intelligent led light to replace my existing one that no longer worked. Upon receipt of the light it failed to work as advertised on the website and detailed in the supplied instruction manual. I initially had good communication with Rocket Aquatics and they suggested sending it back if I was unhappy which I did. Upon receiving the return I was informed by Rocket Aquatics that they had spoken to Reef One and the specification of the product had changed, you could no longer select from an assortment of day/light options. They admitted they would have to change the description provided on their website. They agreed to provide a refund but minus the postage costs incurred by me for returning the product which was not as advertised. I have pointed out that under the distance selling regulations they have to pay for the return of goods if they fail to comply with the contract but since this email they have stopped all correspondence with myself.

Although the sum involved is not large it is the principle and although I have used Rocket Aquatics in the past, even recommending them to others, I won't be doing so again based on the outcome of my latest purchase.

Rocket Aquatics

Cheaper Than Ebay

I recently aquired a Curly Hair Tarantula but needed a new terrarium, I searched ebay and other sites, I came accross Rocket Aquatics & wow, exactly what I was looking for & cheaper than I could get on ebay & other visited sites for the same item, I placed my order and within a couple of days it was here, extremely well packaged. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rocket Aquatics, I have put them in my favourites as I will definately be using them again. Fantastic products at realistic prices & excellent service.

Re-pumped-up now!

Bought F 'r F tank from Rocket 7 years ago. Lighting/electrics failed within the one year guarantee so complete top unit was replaced free of charge. 12v pump wires took 7 years to corrode away, so was pleased a replacement was still available, although a little pricy! Nice website, swift service, fish are having fun again!

Rocket Aquatics

Quick and easy

A well laid out website made what I wanted easy to find, and I really like the fact that if a product is not in stock it won't be displayed. The price was slightly less than I found elsewhere, and my goods arrived within a few days. Very happy with this company, and would definitely recommend them to others.

Rocket Aquatics

Good value

Excellent service, fast delivery, only the filter from tank was damaged (but was fixed with some glue).

Ordered from this company a few times. Easy to use website and prompt delivery.

Rocket Aquatics

Great service

I found it easy to choose products, order them and they arrived very quickly. It was very useful to be given a precise time (an hour slot) of when to expect delivery.
Thanks.

Rocket Aquatics

GREAT SERVICE AND DELIVERY!

I ordered a replacement pump for my fish tank. It was at a very reasonable price and was delivered and received quickly. Would recommend to others. WIll be saving in my favourites for future use.

Rocket Aquatics

Fishtastic!!!!!!

I ordered a bio orb 60 on Sunday and I had it by Tuesday and having the tracking service is great as it gives you the hour it will be delivered.
Great service and good price and very happy fish and I got the remote control changing light......stunning and my children were amazed and dancing about and I may have been!!!
I would recommend to a friend

Thank you :0)

Rocket Aquatics

GREAT SERVICE..

I ordered a fish tank from Rocket Aquatics,this was the first time i have used this company & i have to say i was delighted with the service i received,i ordered the tank on thursday afternoon about 3.30 pm and it was with me at about 1.30 monday afternnoon ( This was the time slot i was given) it was very well packaged & reached me in perfect condition i can honestly say i would not hesitate to place more orders with Rocket Aquatics.

Rocket Aquatics

Got what is was looking for!

I ordered a Juwel Vio 40 aquarium from Rocket and the aquarium arrived two days later. The packaging was great and they must have used 10 meters of bubble wrap. It was the first time I had ordered from them and the first time I had ordered an aquarium online. I was happy with the service, correspondence, and packaging from the company and that is all I could have asked for.

Rocket Aquatics

Fab, Fab, Fab!!

Ordered 2ft vivarium in walnut. Arrived within the week. Superbly packaged and arrived in perfect condition. Instructions were great, built it in no time. Looks fantastic. Would highly recommend this company, on the basis of value, quality, service and delivery.

Rocket Aquatics

Poor Poor Poor

Tank arrived in good time, seemed to be packed well. When we opened the tank it was severley cracked on one side which I believe was down to the courier. We contacted Rocket to get a refund as this was a 2nd birthday pressent for our daughter & wanted it in time for her birthday with the gaurantee this would not happen again. Rocket advised they would refund once they recived the undamaged items included which was fine. However, I then had to pay for return costs!!! The cost to return was £12 meaning in theory I was only refunded £28. Contact via email with Rocket was not great either, the advisor at the other end was very sharp and rude.

Reply from Rocket Aquatics

We are sorry that you were not happy with our service. Generally a replacement would be despatched quickly to resolve the problem. As you required a refund, we needed the undamaged goods back (which you were OK with). Under the circumstances we are prepared to offer you £12 off the price of your next order with us. Please quote your previous order number 54486 when ordering.

Does not live up to expectations

Was OK, but website says all orders before 3pm dispatched the same day. I placed my order 10.40am Friday and it didn't get dealt with until the Monday - So not living up to expectations.

Also found item £7 cheaper elsewhere after ordering :( - 20% cheaper!

Also didn't reply to my email highlighting I wasn't happy with the service. Probably wont use again.
