Official Statement Regarding Recent Google Reviews
We would like to address recent negative reviews posted on our Google Business profile and provide complete transparency regarding a recent transaction with Luisa Koch (Laytons Aquatics, Dundee).
There are always two sides to a story, and we believe our customers deserve the facts based on documented correspondence.
Clarification of Order & Delivery
Contrary to claims that an order was never received, our message history confirms the following:
* Order Process & Communication: When initial inventory for a guppy promotion was temporarily out of stock, the customer was notified immediately and requested alternative stock, which was promptly fulfilled.
* Complimentary Items & Free Courier: Once stock was replenished, we voluntarily dispatched the original guppies as a goodwill gesture. The customer received over 300 guppies (including roughly 50 additional free fish) along with 100% complimentary door-to-door courier delivery to Dundee.
* Full Fulfillment: All orders and promotional items were delivered in full, as confirmed in our records and chat history.
It is deeply disappointing to receive a review claiming non-delivery after receiving hundreds of complimentary fish and free shipping.
To Recent Reviewers
We kindly request that individuals leaving negative ratingsโincluding Nick Visserโclarify whether they have ever made a purchase or transacted with us directly.
Going forward, complimentary items, bonus stock, and free courier perks will be reserved exclusively for customers who engage with us in good faith and honest communication.
