Verified reviewI had problems with checkout because I could not get the 10% discount being offered and use my £100 gift voucher at the same time. I got in touch with services and after several emails with Megan she was able to resolve the issue. She was very helpful and told me the team would look into improoving the sight for the future.

I have receved only one package that was damaged, the tape on the padded envelope was very loose but none of the items were lost or damaged.

Verified reviewCowling & Wilcox sell a huge range of artist’s materials, at very reasonable prices and offer a free delivery service for orders over £50, which is fantastic as I live in the north of Scotland where there are very few Art supply shops.

Verified reviewTo be honest I don’t feel that the issue I had with Cowling and Wilcox was totally down to them rather than Royal Mail? I made a purchase and paid more to have the purchase delivered the next day. As one usual receives a communication from the couriers letting the customer know what time to expect the package, by the afternoon I’d heard nothing and contacted Cowling and Wilcox and to their credit they sent a replacement that did arrive the following day. So, I was happy with the approach they took, without questions. So, would commend them for that and the speed at which the problem was resolved The goods were still late, but thankfully I got away with not needing them as urgently as I thought.

Verified reviewDelivery was in good time and well packed. One item sent was one unit, rather than a pack of 24, which was attributed to a new member of staff not understanding the quantity fully. After relaying this to C&W, it was quickly rectified and the rest of the missing pack was received, also well packed.
