    The website was very easy to use and I found what I wanted. The order process was easy. I contacted customer services as I ordered over a bank holiday and was concerned that my purchase, which was a Birthday present, would not arrive in time. The lady I spoke to was very helpful. My purchase arrived in time.

    I'm so sorry your order took so long to be shipped. Your order included restricted items (knives) so, by law, we have to check age of the buyer. I notice you requested Next day shipping so this really shouldn't have taken so long. Once again, I do apologise. Kind regards, Guy.

    Easy to order, it just took longer until the product was dispatched, due to the knife. I had to prove that I am over 18, but all went well. Customer service - excellent. Knife- great! Cutting mat- useful.

    I'm so sorry we had so many issues with your order. I understand you paid twice as you paid by credit card and Paypal. We asked for a refund to be issued but, unfortunately, our accounts lady was on holiday at the time. I can only apologise for the delay in this. I believe your payment has now been refunded. Could you please confrim this is the case from your end? You said the goods took forever to send. We do endeavour to send deliveries out within 24 hours but sometimes there is a little delay. In your case, your goods were sent out within 2 working days and was delivered on a Tracked service within another day. So, I'm afraid I can't see that we did a lot wrong here. If you still ahve issues, please don't hesitate to get in touch and we'll help you out to the best of our ability. Kind regards, Guy.

    The information is miss leafing as the item I purchased was just one brush received not a set of 3 as shown on the website photo. I would have never bought one paint brush at that price plus I almost paid the same price for shipping ridiculous

    Thank you for your review. To be honest, I'm a bit bemused by it. The Product name says it's "Single Sizes", the description says it's "Individual Sword Liner brushes". The image is useful to show the different sizes available: small, medium and large. When you choose your product, you have to choose which size you require. I think this all adds up to a pretty clear idea that this is one brush not 3. This quality brush is only £5 so this is far from expensive. If you're not happy with this brush, please return it to us (at your expense) and we'll be happy to refund you for this item. Kind regards, Guy.

    Though it took a while for me to receive my Winsor and Newton paints but they ate really good quality and also not too expensive. I've bought a cheaper version of Acrylics before now, but Winsor and Newton are something different the pigment and overall quality are great to work with and well worth the money!!! I would definately recommend!!!

    Site navigation is good, if a little confusing at first, but products sought were located and ordering was OK. The 10% introduction reduction didn't register with the first order, but it worked on the second, so I benefitted in the end.

    I found the site tricky as I was unable to access the free postage you offered. However you did refund this promptly so I was satisfied with the service you provided.

    Excellent selection of materials, easy web site to navigate and simple process for purchase and delivery, safely packaged. Liked the brown paper packaging, but maybe not the bubble wrap.
