Verified reviewMy item was delivered in good time but was missing a felt disc foot. I contacted the company and quickly got a reply to say they had found one in their warehouse which was promptly posted to me.

Verified reviewDelivery was prompt, actually, it was delivered without prior notice. Fortunately, I happened to be home. The packaging was poorly presented. All the packages of individual tubes of oil were opened and trashed on arrival. There was no seal under the cap (which could be opened without resistance) on each of the tube of paint. One wondered if they had been used.

Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your goods didn't turn up as you (and we) would have liked. However hard we try to protect our parcels, there's still the odd driver who seems to treat your goods in an unacceptable way. I can assure you that all of our products are brand new and are bought directly from the Supplier so have certainly not been used. If I can help with anything else, please don't hesitate to contact our customer service team at admin@cowlings.com or by phone on 01303 290550. Kind regards, Guy.

Thanks for the reply. The delivery box was alright, I think it was the handling of the oil tubes (200ml) when packing that might need looking into.

Thank you for your comments. I'll certainly feed this back to our warehouse. You can never train enough. If I can help further, please let me know. Kind regards, Guy.

Verified reviewVery prompt delivery, and very pleased with my easel. It needs to be re-arranged once unpacked, as it is set up for postage, but once figured out, it was easy to do. Perfect for my art group.

Verified reviewWould have given 5* but let down by way box of graphite pencils were packed . They were packed loosely within the desk easel box . I could hear them sliding about before I opened the parcel . The outside wrap was good and intact. There was an unsealed and looked unused padded envelope in there as well . The only way I could get them out was to pull out the easel first . They flew off the table onto the floor . Just hoping the pencil cores have not broken in transit .
