Verified reviewProducts received were used quality. Contacted customer service about it and have received complete silence from them after over a week and half. Poor products and no customer service do not recommend.

Thank you for taking the time to review us and I'm so sorry you had a bad experience with us. I've looked into your order and I understand you ordered 4 different block printing inks. I believe the leaf green and vermillion inks look as if they are not full. We checked in our warehouse to see if they were part of a faulty batch and it they definitely are not, the items also had not been opened and had not leaked anywhere. We also checked with the supplier and they confirmed these were fine. These items do not come sealed unfortunately. However, we understand why you may think these have been used so our customer service team have told me they emailed you to ask if you would like a replacement or a refund and we are still awaiting your reply. I'm so sorry it took so long for us to get back to you but your message did not come into our customer service message system. I know we've apologised to you but I'd like to do so again for the slow reply. The moment we hear back from you, we'll act on your decision. Once again, I'm so sorry you weren't 100% happy with the products we sent you.

Verified reviewThe significant problem encountered was registering a delivery address different to the billing address. It was initially possible only to get both either billing or delivery address the same. The web definitely requires some tweaking. How we managed it eventually is still a mystery.
