I never received the item I ordered and have not been able to make contact with the company despite multiple attempts. I'm currently out over $400.

We aim to improve our local environment, ensuring that our green areas remain green, and plants pollinated, by promoting coexistence with nature through beekeeping.We want everyone to become a beekeeper and never quit because we realize that when you start keeping bees, you increase your awareness of the importance of conserving the natural environment. The two main reasons for people never taking up beekeeping and quitting beekeeping are, firstly, the fear of being stung or constantly being stung. Secondly, the collapse of bee colonies, we purposely focus on beekeeper safety and bee health. Since 2014 we have continually improved the safety of our protective clothing and enriched the nutritional value of our bee feed. By keeping beekeepers safe, supporting bees’ health, reinvesting into initiatives that help promote beekeeping. Beekeepers can get the most out of their beekeeping journey and continue to help pollinate our crops and keep our planet alive.Bee Safe, Bee Healthy, Bee Our Futurehttps://naturalapiary.com/https://naturalapiary.co.uk/- James Bailey

Did not receive my order and did not get any response to my communications so had to escalate to a claim for refund

There was a problem with the order being filled properly. I notified Natural Apiary IMMEDIATELY. I received a note back that a solution was being sent, with a tracking number from USPS. According to USPS the tracking number was not valid. The error has not been remedied.

I made a purchase from Natural Apiary. The item did not fit. They were very nice and said to ship it back. I shipped it back. I was told that they did not receive the item. I told them that I had a receipt from UPS that it was delivered at the time, date, and front desk. They told me they would look into it. Then I was told that they had sent a credit to PayPal. Two months ago by and still no credit. I had to submit a refund to PayPal. Then I had to put a stop payment on my card. They lied to me more than once about the credit and the return. I got my money back but not because of their help.

Thank you for your review. We at Natural Apiary always strive to help our customers in every way we can. We really appreciate your comment, but we do not appreciate being called liars. This is a serious and slanderous statement. As with all businesses, all communications and transactions are recorded. This is the recorded timeline of events: We received your email on 14 September stating that the gloves your ordered were not like/same as the ones you bought 4 years ago and that you would like to return them. We responded the same day and sent a pre-paid return shipping label. 17 September you emailed us stating you posted the gloves the day before, and you included a scan of your receipt. On 21 September asked us to confirm receipt of your email. We responded on 22 September, and we explained that it can take a couple of days for items to be checked in at the warehouse. On 22 September, you emailed us stating the gloves were received by our warehouse team, as recorded by tracking. Although the gloves had not yet been checked in at our warehouse, we issued a full refund from our store platform via PayPal. We informed you that the refund was done and that it can take 5 – 10 business days to process. On 24 November you emailed us to let us know that the refund had not come through. We are not certain as to why or how the refund did not credit your account. Yet, as soon as you alerted us to the problem, we issued you another full refund and on 26 November the full refund was manually issued. We have checked all our records on PayPal, and there is no chargeback. If this has happened, then you received the refund twice. We did and still do apologize for the issue with your refund via PayPal. If you would like to receive the full email thread and a copy of the PayPal refund please let us know, as we will be happy to forward it to you.

After three uses developed holes in outer shell . Sent pic to representative and was told I must have rubbed up against a hive ! Last I heard from her ! I don’t mind spending extra money for Quality Products that Last and Companies Stand Behind , I was also told to put tape on the affected area.

Although the bee suit I purchased was the second extra small suit that I bought, the first one fit perfectly but this purchase was much too long for me. I was disappointed.

The Postal Service has so far experienced minor operational impacts in the United States as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. They do continue to have a temporary suspension of the guarantee on Priority Mail which has been effective since Monday, Feb. 10, 2020. In addition, customers may see delays in mail and packages. The Postal Service is undertaking all reasonable measures to minimize the impact to customers. https://about.usps.com/newsroom/service-alerts/

I have received two requests to write a review for an item that I still haven’t received.

We are sorry to hear that you have not received your order, and that you have received two requests to review our products. To ensure our customers receive their orders as quickly as possible, all our orders are dispatched via Amazon. Regrettably, due to the COVID19 pandemic, Amazon's fulfillment times have been longer than usual. We have contacted Amazon's customer service team regarding your shipment, and we are waiting for their response. Please be assured we will contact you as soon as we have further information regarding your order. In regards to our requests for your review, we apologize that you received these before you received your order. The reason for two emails; we send an email asking for your experience, and we then send a follow-up email as a reminder. This is just to make certain you didn’t miss the opportunity to give other customers a chance to make a decision based on your experiences. We’re certain that you understand the best way to help customers is by customers giving them the opportunity to share their experience. Once again please accept our sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any further questions or issues please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected], and we will do our best to help. Kind regards, Leslie
