    After I’d placed the order I realised I’d forgotten an item. I rang customer services to ask if they could add the item, they said yes and emailed an invoice within the half hour. Customer services were very pleasant to deal with and the products arrived, swiftly and were well packed.

    I was happy with the product and the service from Cowling & Wilcox. However, I was not pleased with the delivery. The package clearly stated my address as number 37, but the package was left in full view on the front doorstep of number 19.

    Thank you for getting in touch with us to explain your concerns with our delivery service. Of course, you're completely right and despite our Couriers normally being very good we do get the odd situation where we just have to scratch our heads. I'm so sorry they treated your parcel with such disregard. We've tried many delivery services in our time and, unfortunately, they all have their moments where they do the most frustrating things. Once again, thank you for letting us know and we'll feed your situation back to our Courier to help them improve thier service. Kind regards, Guy.

    I received the order in good time, but unfortunately, one of the two canvases was badly twisted. This was possibly due to poor handling by the courier, however, the parcel was not packaged well enough in my opinion, just a single thin outer cardboard box. This may be fine for a small canvas, but inadequate for a larger one. I have since ordered several large canvases from a different company and they all arrived intact but arrived better wrapped and protected.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain the situation regarding your delivery. I'm so sorry your goods turned up in the way they did. Normally, our couriers are pretty good but sometimes they excel themselves in the damage they can do and we wonder how this is even possible. We do endeavour to wrap our canvasses (and indeed all of our parcels) as robustly as possible using reinforcements and foam corners. I hope these were used in your case. I know we've been in touch with you recently and you kindly explained all the work you've done to repair the canvas. Once again, I'm so sorry you had to go to all of this effort so we'll be sedning you a Voucher by email. I hope this goes some way to make up for all of this hassle. Kind regards, Guy.

    Great quality canvas and good delivery time. Would have been 5* but the packing arrived ripped which meant I had to push out a dent in the canvas. I suspect this was the fault of the delivery company though. Now it’s painted up you can’t tell so I’m still happy with my purchase

    I'm so sorry to hear you haven't received your order yet. We sent your order out on time so our Carrier must have let us both down. I'm so sorry about this. I'll let our Customer Service team know and one of our assistants will be in touch very soon to help you with this. Kind regards, Guy.

    Item has now arrived and is a first class tool. If only the delivery was also first class. Nevermind. It was well worth the wait.
