Verified reviewOrdered 2 sketchbooks but the package had been damage and hastily repaired. As soon as I emailed Cowling & Wilcox they apologised and sent a replacement for the missing sketchbook. Great customer service and products at a great price. Thankyou C&W for making it easy to contact you and problem solve.

Verified reviewYour Website was great and I’m happy to purchase again from Cowlng & Wilcox. But I am disappointed by the courier who left the parcel at an unsafe place with a fake delivery proof photo. I hope you use more reliable courier like Parcelforce and dpd.

Verified reviewHave had no trouble with company before now, however the packaging containing the mounting board was very poor. It arrived with one side split open and all the boards have suffered some form of damage in one corner. Received a package from one of your competitors, strong and well constructed. No damage to the contents! Disappointed that I have had to complain.

Verified reviewI'm unsure to whom the problems relate. Basically there were repeated conflicting reports as to where the parcel was. When delivered the parcel was damaged and was contained in a black plastic bag. When opened the paints were in small white boxes, which were damaged and not sealed. Fortunately I have checked the paint tubes and they are not showing any sign of leakage.
