Verified reviewAlways fast excellent service from Cowling and Wilcox. Everything I have bought has been good quality and I have been pleased with my purchases. I do wish though that they would make claiming points a bit simpler than having to create a voucher and then type in a code. I have had trouble with that method. It would be so much simpler to say these are your points do you want to claim them. Other than that no complaints.

Verified reviewI like to shop at my local art shop, but where they don’t stock something I’d rather get it from source at C&W than through Amazon etc. You can trust the products and the advice.

Verified reviewPleased to find the product which was out of stock elsewhere. Could only order two (out of stock or order limit?). Delivery not the fastest but not the end of the world.

Verified reviewI ordered two packets of A2 mount board. The price was good, and the delivery was fast, but the board wasn't packed properly, arriving with dented corners and edges.

I'm so sorry this happened. We always make a huge effort to pack our goods well as we know some carriers can be a bit heavy-handed to say the least. I've advised our packers of your situation to remind them how important this is. Thank you so much for highlighting this issue. Kind regards, Guy.

Verified reviewGreat products available but you need to be prepared to wait for your delivery. Waiting a week or so wasn’t great as I had anticipated less

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your order took longer than expected to despatch. I can assure most orders are despatched within 48 hours and the majority within 24 hours. Looking into your order, it looks like our stock control system was out and so we had to bring in one of your products from one of our shops. This is unusual and, for that, I can only apologise. Otherwise, I'm glad you appreciate our range of products. Kind regards, Guy.
