Verified reviewGreat communication great service. Love the products I received from you. Buying canvas from you is difficult though. As you've changed how you used to set them out. And you used to sell the bigger sizes 48×60inch canvases but you don't seem to have them anymore only small canvases.

Verified reviewThe site was easy to navigate and I plac3d an order for several oil paints as the price was far better than anywhere else I had looked. My only negative comment concerns the very slow delivery which was made via RoyalMail and took well over a week. Most online orders are despatched within 2-3 days so this was frustrating. However I will buy from Cowling and Wilcox again if their prices remain so competitive.

Verified reviewordering the easels was pretty straight forward. The website is easy to navigate and easy to use and place orders. Easels were in good conditions, however I paid for next day and priority delivery but the delivery company didn't fulfil the expectations, I got the order 2 days after I was supposed to get the order and was quite late as this was meant to use in a presentation, they arrive once the presentation finished so unfortunately I feel that I lost money in the delivery service.
