How to contact Atkinson Brothers???

Snakezilla

I am trying to place quite a big order with Atkinson Brothers but they dont seem to know how to answer the telephone or reply to an email....Are they still trading or whats the craic?? I have never dealt with them before but their website seems fairly up to date.

I'm not usually one to complain but I bought a Larsson trap off them last year they were almost a month late delivering it and on the day they did finally deliver it they strung me along for the whole day saying they would be there several different times before they actually came . When I got the trap it was shoddily made with many of the crimp fasteners falling off and the doors were so badly bent they could barely be opened never mind slide freely.

I have ordered 2 larsen traps off these last year. Ordered one and it took 2 weeks to get it after an email wondering where it was gone.
A few months later I ordered another thinking the same wouldn't happen again but it took 3 weeks to a month to get the next with multiple calls where only one was answered and emails also that were never replied to. I sent a final email requesting my money back and then the trap arrived 2 days later. Personally I won't deal with these anymore.

Maybe Mac Eoin's would be better?

I think both those companys are a joke! Way over priced, and quality not the best! I wouldn't't buy anything off them !
Sad to say but i buy my traps from UK companys, and their a lot cheaper and they get delivered faster than either of these!

I would go to Solway for the drinkers and piping. Feeders,cos they are bulky,I have found Glanbia good value. Buy galvanised ones,they cost a little more but are far more robust.
The wright feeders are sold by Solway also.there is a quantity discount.

Don't see any problem with Maceoins quality is always good and have also purchased feeders from Solway . Beware buying cheaper traps from any company there are some poor products about that look bargains.
