Verified reviewParcel was left on my property, propped against bins, but the flap at the top of the tall box was open, leaving the contents open to damage if it rained.

Verified reviewProducts were great. Speed of delivery outstanding. Ripped squashed box not so amazing. Thankfully the items I ordered hadn't fallen out. I will use them again I'm sure but a better effort to seal boxes would bee appreciated, delivery companies rarely care about the goods they're shipping.

Verified reviewTheir service was prompt and efficient, keeping me informed throughout. The delivery was on time although Evri lacked final delivery details just leaving the order on the doorstep.

Verified reviewCowling & Wilcox are my first port of call when looking for items at an affordable price. The email marketing is not too frequent which is great and I was notified of items on sale. Great timing as I needed a large qty of items and pay once. Easy ordering system and hassle free. Notified of the process and tracking to my front door. Perfect. The items were well packaged and delieved in 24hrs from despatched. So 5 stars to Cowling & Wilcox ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wayne The Painless Artist

Verified reviewGreat company to order from. Although the only criticism I have is using Evri. I can’t remember if the delivery section had a choice, if it does next time it will be Royal Mail. Unfortunately Evri can be notorious in our area. Not the delivery drivers but the depot where a parcel can sit for days. That’s the only downfall.
