Annoyed and disappointed
Annoyed and disappointed - 1st round of fish came order of 4cm dwarf chain loaches - no more than 2cm so some subsequently eaten same with bristle nose plecs orange sulewesi snails ordered - onion snails received variety of coloured shrimp ordered - very few have any colour certain type of Angel fish ordered - incorrect type sent female betta - incorrect colour sent2nd order to rectify some of first incorrect snails sent again incorrect Angels sent again incorrect colour Betta sent again separate order - nothing offered re first Betta order Appreciated the thought of sending additional plecs and angels but the angels were still wrong and I didn t really have the room anyway Having spent a lot of money 3 figures I now have at least 2 tanks full of fish I didn t order want with no room left now to get the fish I do want Tried to find out about larger dwarf chains which I do have some room for - mainly cos some of the small ones have gone but Sims are no longer responding I should make it clear that all the fish are healthy parts of the order were correct and Sims did agree to rectify the other initial problems My issues are the advertised sizes and the colours types which I specifically ordered were incorrect and the fact that their rectification process failed Either someone there is not able to tell the correct colours species for an order or they are deliberately sending out stock that no one else wants knowing full well that there s little you can do about it once received There is always an element of risk when ordering fish online - particularly in respect of colours and size but to this extreme Have never experienced it before elsewhere

I am very disappointed in this company
I am very disappointedOn the 6th January 2023 I waited in for a delivery I had ordered an African side necked turtle I phoned in the afternoon as there was no delivery I telephoned and was told that it had been sent out and was probably at Gatwick as they have had problems with the delivery company I was told that as it hadn t been delivered it would be returned to the shop and I would have to choose another delivery date I chose the following Tuesday there was no confirmation on the Monday as I was promised but whilst I was at work a parcel arrived When I opened the parcel there was a map turtle in the bag in very little water I have photos of this if required A completely different species of turtle and not one that I wanted to keep I emailed and messaged no reply Today 13th January I waited in again for another delivery once again an African side necked turtle no delivery yet again Emailed and messaged with no reply Asked via messenger if I could use my ten pound prize to be taken off the order Had won a competition through them was told that I had come through to the marketing department and to phone I am really disappointed in this firm These are live animals and the customer care is appalling Update still no response and now the website have upped the price of a side necked turtle from 50 to 250

No response
Wanted to buy 150- 200 worth of fish from Sims but they do not bother to respond to multiple queries sent via email or their website about the fish and their species parameters etc - so no sale and will not consider in future already used another company who value custom

Sick unhealthy fish
Bought a fish in their auction which they wer extremely helpful and fast to reply involving receiving their money etc Fish was shipped and arrived the next day as promised but looking terrible covered in some kind of fungus looking film and had quite bad scarring which is sometimes the case with cichlids but still and was dead within 24 hours so had to treat my whole tank Sent messages and photos and have been completely ignored They have a no refund DOA policy but this was clearly a sick fish that was sent Would not recommend and I ve dealt with many online companies and been keeping fish for over 10 years

Post your personal information
Sell me poor fish and would not stop calling me until I spoke and agreed to change feedback This company has no clue on uk law and thinks they can do whatever they like well this time to the wrong person Posting my personal information that is protected by Data Protection Act 2018
