Essential Aids Reviews 5.666

Super service. Delivered next day. Great company.

I have used Essential Aids twice now and overall I am happy to recommend them, particularly on pricing and product reliability.

On both occasions, the pricing was very competitive compared to alternatives, and the products themselves were exactly as described and of good quality.

However, there is a consistent issue with communication that is worth highlighting.

With my first order, I placed the order and then heard nothing for five days – no confirmation email, no dispatch update, and no indication of delivery timing. I had to email them to prompt action, after which the order was shipped and delivered within a few days. So ultimately it was resolved, but only after I intervened.

With my second order, I proactively emailed them immediately after placing the order to request dispatch. Again, I received no response. Despite that, the order arrived a couple of days later via DPD without any prior confirmation or delivery notification.

So, in both cases:

Orders were fulfilled and delivered within a reasonable timeframe
Products were correct and well priced
But communication can be improved. I did receive emails but just before the driver delivered and then email that my order has been delivered a few days after.

My current approach, based on experience, is to contact them directly each time I place an order to ensure it progresses. That workaround has been effective so far.

Summary:

Excellent pricing
Reliable products
Delivery is timely once actioned
Communication (order confirmation, dispatch updates, delivery notifications) is weak and needs improvement

I will continue to use Essential Aids because the value is strong and the products are reliable. However, customers should be aware that this is not a “next day, fully tracked with updates” type of service. If communication improves, they would easily be a top-tier supplier.

Recommendation:
Highly recommended for product quality and pricing, but go in with realistic expectations and be prepared to follow up if needed.

Ordered on a Sunday delivered on Tuesday
Read reviews on the uplift cushion and it was just what I wanted and it does exactly what I needed so I am going to order another one

Great company, very fast delivery and excellent item . Thank you.

Good range of quality products at competitive prices. Parcel was delivered within promised time frame.

The wheelchair backpack arrived within a couple of days and is perfect for my electric model, with storage for both my crutches. The quality is good and the price is very reasonable.

A well made cost effective product delivered on time. Not too difficult for a disabled person to assemble

The website was fine, but when I went to pay via PayPal, the exact moment I pressed to pay, I noticed my personal details on PalPal were not up to date, including the delivery address. I immediately telephoned Essential Aids, and a very pleasant lady
