Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your parcel arrived damaged and, you're right, it is annoying how much bubblewrap (and extra packaging) we have to use to 'insure' us against the odd clumsy carrier. I hope we see this improve. Once again, I'm so sorry your parcel didn't arrive as you, or we, would have liked. Kind regards, Guy.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry you were disappointed with our service on this occasion. I've looked into your order and discovered you ordered after we closed on a Friday night and your order was shipped on a Next day service on the following Wednesday. You're right this is a little slower than we would like and is the norm but it was still well within our 5 working days guidelines to cover us in unusually busy periods or when we have unexpected sickness. I hope you understand and, once again, I'm sorry for the delay. Kind regards, Guy.
