Im not worried about liable.. Its a fact unmerchantable quality not fit for purpose.At the end of the day we can review and say what we feel to safe guard others. If something is good I will say so. Customer is always right!

Bought bees from them - no problems. Can't comment on other kit as all from elsewhere. 
Dont buy their Ply hive its absolutely rubbish! Very poor quality,Nothing will stay square, lid wont fit properly...reclaimed timber it may be but for £50.00 a waste of money!
You may be right and you may not!
Perhaps it is only some that are as bad as yours appears to have been. Perhaps some are perfect. It might be someone just off-loading the 'rejects' from the shop onto unsuspecting customers by post, who knows?
There are better ways to put it. Certainly, if your lid did not fit and you can prove that you are watertight as far as litigation is concerned. If it was customer assembled, there may be faults there.
'Not recommend' or 'I would not buy another' might be a better way to get the message across.
If there are lots of people out there that say it was good value, you may be on a sticky wicket.

We bought one of their smocks for our son and had to take the red label off it - after two visits to the hives it was clear that the bees were really going for it. If I got another one (hard to say that there's much else wrong with it other than the label) I'd remove the label as soon as it arrived.
