    I didn’t really interact too much. I ordered it, they sent it. That’s pretty much the minimum standard as far as I’m aware.

    Really slow delivery…. Item arrived 12 days after ordering. They use Evri. I ordered something from another online shop and was shipped with Evri also. It arrived next day! So don’t blame the shipping company.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your delivery took so long to arrive. I can assure you we sent your goods out the day after we returned from Xmas. I know Evri had some issues in certain areas so, unfortunately, your parcel may have got caught up in that. I can only apologise and assure that we rarely have delivery issues. I hope you can trust us to use us again. Kind regards, Guy, Cowling & Wilcox.

    The pencils are for a Christmas present so, therefore, haven't been used yet. Regarding my order, I ordered and paid for them from Cowling and Wilcox and on receipt of my order and money, Cowling and Wilcox sent them to me. I guess the whole transaction is worth 5* as it all went according to plan

    Ordering easy, items dispatched straight away and initially delivery seemed okay. There were 2 parcels but only one delivered, this is where Cowling and Wilcox really stepped up. I emailed them, had a reply within a couple of hours where they prequested a delivery of the 2nd parcel. This didn't work so when I contacted them again a new item was dispatched while the initial problem was escalated to be investigated. I consider this to be an excellent example of customer service, let down only by the delivery company.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry you had bad experience with us. I'll look into your case and be back in touch very soon. Kind regards, Guy. ** Update 13/12/2023 ** I understand my colleague, Megan, has been in touch and has reassured you that you, unfortunately, spoke to one of her colleagues who was having a very bad day. I know he really cares about his job (and is very good at it) but he simply couldn't muster the energy due to the early stages of a winter bug. Needless to say, he spent the next few days at home recuperating. I hope Megan has put your mind at rest that this was a very unusual situation and we always do our best to provide excellent customer service. If we can help with anything else, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Kind regards, Guy.

    Cowling & Wilcox! can't fault their prices, swiftness of delivery and a customer service they can be proud of, a great selection of everything for any style of art or craft from the professional artist to children's beginnings with everything in between that you can think of from a website that's simple to follow and one that carries endless products, an artist for over 70 years, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to anyone.
