Verified reviewThe delivery was very disappointing. I ended up receiving it 6 days later than was originally promised. When it came one of tubs of paint had splurged out and covered the pot. Fortunately it was wrapped it bubble wrap so mess was contained but was annoying to clear up and a real waste of paint.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your delivery took so long to arrive. I can see we received your ordered on 20/08 and we despatched on the following day. So, it seems our Carrier let us both down on this occasion. I'm so sorry about this. I'm wondering if the Bank Holiday could have caused short term issues as we rarely have issues like this. I'm also disappointed to hear that one of your pots burst. As you can see, we try our best to protect our deliveries as we as we can. If you'd like us to replace the paint please contact us on admin@cowlings.com and we can send you a replacement. Once again, I'm sorry you had issues with your order. Kind regards Guy
