Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm happy you felt our general service was good but the follow-up emails have dropped your score. It's very easy to unsubscribe from our newsletters. Simply click on the link at the bottom of all our emails. Please let me know if I can help further. Kind regards, Guy.

Verified reviewGood website other than in was not possible to choose the cheaper postage option as described in delivery section, making the postage cost far too high for goods purchased. Excellent response when there was a complication with the order not addressed prior to dispatch, caused by the delay in the reading a message I had sent

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I spoke to Megan in our customer service team and she explained we had a temporary glitch in our system where the Standard carrier was not available. This was because your order came to exactly £50 (we had up to £50 and over £50 covered but not exactly £50) and so the regular option was not displayed as it should. I'm so sorry this happened but, you'll be pleased to know, this has now been rectified. Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you, but the details were not exactly as you have described. The total order at the time was for only £24.95. As I received a satisfactory outcome in the end, there is no need to explain further. I hope you have now resolved the problem with there only being the higher postage option available to customers. Thanks.

Oh, I'm so sorry. Maybe we had 2 issues at the same time. Thank you for letting me know and I'm pleased we go to an acceptable solution. Kind regards, Guy.
