Thank you for taking the time to review us. I've looked into this and can see we despatched on time (same day) but I can see we were let down by our Carrier on this occasion. I can see we've actioned a Refund and can only apologise again for our Carrier letting us both down. To be honest, it's fairly rare to get issues with Next Day deliveries so I hope you feel you could use us again. Kind regards, Guy Cowling.

Verified reviewThe product purchased arrived damaged. However, the swift action of customer services resolved the issue on the same day as delivery. Although very disappointed that this much needed product arrived damaged, it speaks volumes of a company that looks after its customers so well when there is a problem. I cannot fault their aftercare and professionalism.

Verified reviewVery good shop, good customer service, but you keep sending paper in soft envelopes, so it invariably gets bent, knocked or damaged. That’s quite odd.
