    The product, pricing, and delivery were great. The marketing communications outside of the process information are intrusive and you will probably unsubscribe as soon as you have received your delivery.

    I know that ‘average’ these days can be seen as poor but it is NOT poor …. It is the norm, what I would expect from an online art supplier. They did everything properly, it arrived well packaged and in a timely manner. The goods worked. That is just what I expect.

    I bought a studio easel in their sale and had to contact Cowling & Wilcox Customer Service because after assembling it seemed the easel was defective. I was both impressed and very appreciative of the help received, the issue was quickly resolved and I’m now delighted with my easel. Their Customer Service is excellent and I can’t praise them enough.

    Delivery 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.

    Answer by cowlingandwilcox.com

    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.

    Very 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.

    Would 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 .
