Gents,
I purchased a few things through 5SD. The service was excellent and prompt. Goods arrived a few days later and thats all anyone could ask :D

It does not get better than that.

Cheers
Ian

I have been ordering from 5Star not far off a Year and on a regular basis, there is no where else i will buy still parts, Service is impeccable and they cater to what you want , You wont find this quality anywhere else and they are packaged in a way that takes forever to open :)) so you know it won't get damaged. Cheers 5Star :D :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Got my 4" borosilicate cylinders in the mail today.
Packed like they were going to be air dropped from 40,000 ft.
I would like to thank Mac & Mrs Mac, for the best service, strongest packing, and for their attention to detail.
You guys rule!.
For anybody that is looking at buying a complete still, or bits n pieces, 5 Star Distilling is the way to go.

Listen folks,

Five Star are the best. No, don't suggest otherwise.

If there's a delivery problem (and I haven't had one) they'll tell you. What other supplier would do that?

They sell the best, and their service is the best.

I know they expect to make a bit in their business, but for my money... the service, courtesy and generosity of Mr and Mrs Mac (yeah, I know they are pseudonyms) just can't be beaten.

Ordered a couple of 2400 watt elements ... got them in 2 days ... with a little extra.

Don't muck about with other suppliers. Get the best from the best.

Five Star rules. (shit, I sound young again... imagine that!)

Peter T

p.s. I think they own shares in a bubble wrap company. Those two elements were packed so well an elephant could stand on them without inflicting damage!

just so everyone knows re super fast postage.

If your order goes through the store before 5.30 pm western time (east coast 7.30pm) it'll generally be posted out the next day, but when we have to do up invoices etc manually and you pay by bank transfer it can take up to 48hrs for funds to clear, so it can take a little longer this way especially if it's the latter half of the week.

As always we're looking for better ways of speeding some things up and we're now looking into a new Paypal service that will allow credit card transactions over the phone if you trust us enough to give us those details, this will also allow credit card payments for local pick up as it's a card reader as well.

Once we (if we) get this all in place we're looking at also providing a walk in service for our local customers, but this may be limited to weekends & 1 weekday to start with just to see if it's going to be worth opening a real street side store.

Cheers.

Hi
Yes this is an old post but should have a few more people saying thanks to the Macs. Great service over the past few months even with me changing a few things on my orders. Can not beat the gear from there yes any parts or upgrades Five Star is the place. From the time of pricing and ordering a pot and now almost have a neutralizer in a few months. Always excellent service and add vice. Not to mention the price is very good value for the great gear you get and very fast to send out the stuff as well.

CHEERS TO YOU BOTH :obscene-drinkingchug: :obscene-drinkingchug:
