    I got a fake notice saying that the parcel had not been delivered so I sent a negative review. In fact the service was excellent becasue the parcel was sent via Royal Mail - slow but 100% reliable - and posted through my letter box. Well done.

    They are quick and the delivery was as promised. The package was a little knocked on arrival, but every single pot of paint (500ml pots) was well bubble wrapped, so they obviously know the packaging gets slightly knocked about!

    Delivery came quickly. Unfortunately, there are some small scratches in the woodwork on the table easel I ordered. Not enough to merit the hassle of sending it back but a little disappointing as this is a birthday gift for someone else.

    Thank you so much for letting us know about your late delivery. We're so sorry about this. I spoke to our customer service team to explore what happened and was told our Courier let us both down on this occasion. Having badgered them for days they re-found your parcel and finally delivered on 05/09/22. As you know, it took them way too long to deliver your order. Our Couriers are normally excellent but there is the odd delivery which goes horribly astray. I'm so sorry this happened to you. My team tell me we've been in touch with you and, despite the frustration of this episode, you've been very understanding. Thank you so much for that. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch or reply to this message. Kind Regards, Guy.

    It took three weeks for order to arrive. I had to call the twice to chase it, an send several emails. They didn’t have two of the items I ordered in stock but still advertised them as available on the website. Very disappointing.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry you had such a poor experience with us. I've investigated this with our customer service team and they've told me that, unusually, our system's figures were incorrect on this product. We were due a container full of these types of canvas very soon (which were delayed due to delivery issues) and we mistakenly didn't check if the container included your size and type of canvas. Unfortunately, they were not included. I'm so sorry we let you down on this occasion as our communication should have been much better. I've spoken to the customer service manager and they agree that mistakes were made and have tightened up our systems. Kind regards, Guy.

    I appreciate your response and apology for the errors made with regards to availability of stock. This was unacceptable service and at no stag was I offered an update or a resolution, I had to call in myself to chase my order and come up with a solution. I appreciate the current issues with goods and inbound containers etc and I was patient and understanding, however I specifically purchased from you because your website said the products were in stock./

    Answer by cowlingandwilcox.com
    Flag

    Once again, I'm so sorry. All I can say is that this is an unusual situation. We rarely have incorrect stock figures and our customer service is normally excellent as you can see by our reviews. To be honest, we rarely get bad reviews and I'm just sorry you had such a bad experience. I'd be happy to send you a voucher as an apology if you'd consider using us again. Please let me know if this would be OK and I'll email you one. Kind regards, Guy.

    Your reviews are good an I’m sure this was unusual. The woman I spoke to was lovely and helpful and I do appreciate this type of response. Hopefully the error has been corrected now. I will purchase from you again for those reasons, and thank you for the voucher 😊

    Great company to deal with. Sorted a minor issue for me with great understanding. Cowling & Wilcox will be my first choice for art supplies in future.

    Very happy with the products that I ordered for my daughter, and prompt delivery.

    I've purchased almost all my art supplies from Cowling & Wilcox and have never been disappointed with the quality and speed of the service I have received. I always recommend them to friends and family.
