    Good 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!

    Answer by A A

    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.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry your goods took so long to arrive. I've looked into your order and notice we sent your goods out a couple of days after we received your order so I can only assume thie issue was with our delivery service. I'm so sorry about this and apologise on their behalf. Kind regards, Guy.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry that your pencils were not protected as well as they should have been. We go to huge strides to pack our deliveries as well as we can as we know couriers can often be a little heavy-handed with our parcels. I'm so sorry this was not the case with your parcel. It must have slipped through the net for which I can only apologise. Kind regards, Guy.

    Good products at reasonable prices. But the packaging it came in - a massive carton filled with literally rubbish! Old bits of various plastic , torn card and carton, random papers… the carton had been crushed and did not protect the contents in any way.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry about this and this is totally unacceptable. I'll be having a stern chat with our packers as they have never been told they can do this and normally never do. Thank you for letting us know. I'll ask one of our customer service team to be in touch with you soon to offer you a discount off your next order as an apology. Hopefully, your goods will arrive in a much better state next time. Once again, many thanks for letting us know and I do apologise for the state of your delivery. Kind regards, Guy.
