    Finding suitable products and ordering online was relatively easy. The order arrived on time, and although the main item rattled around a bit in the box it was not damaged and all in good order.

    I ordered a set of "Gelly Roll" Bright White Pens online. I got an email next day saying that they were out of stock and they would need to get it back from one of their other shops, did I want to wait or do I want a refund? I said wait and they had the pens delivered quicker than most firms without the hiccup. So 5 stars for service and communication.

    5/5, amazing service. There was a slight delay with my order but the response to my query on it was prompt, friendly and informative. My order still arrived in very good time to an EU country, despite all that’s going on at the moment. It was all top notch quality and at some of the best prices I have found online, including shipping costs. I’ll definitely be ordering from Cowling & Wilcox again.

    Maybe we are just spoiled by the likes of Amazon and expect fast delivery. The delivery time was good but I do recall when I got the dispatched email through thinking, "What they have only dispatched that now" its just a small thing though as the delivery arrived in good condition, communication was good as we're the products and the items were fairly priced. I will shop here again and would recommend them to others

    The cards were crumpled and of 2 different shades of white. Of 5 ordered, only 4 were sent. The reason I've given Cowling & Wilcox 3 stars overall is that they promptly refunded the price of the cards.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us and I'm so sorry your markers didn't arrive on time despite us sending them out to you within 48 hours of you ordering. Royal Mail are doing a great job at athe moment but there is the odd order which takes a lot longer than we'd like. We've now sent you out replacements on an expedited service and hopefully these will arrive very soon. Please let me know if we can help further and, once again, sorry for the delay. Kind regards, Guy.

    Super fast delivery, excellent value for money and surprisingly high quality items (i ordered a 115 piece beginners art set) The customer service was second to none. Super fast responses, going above and beyond to resolve my issue (a lost/missing part) - they shipped out a replacement free of charge and was all round a pleasure to interact with. I would 100% recommend this company and will order any future supplies from them directly.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I hear our customer service team has been in touch to help you with your situation and I've been told they've come up with a satisfactory solution to your issues. The canvases you bought are great for beginners or for a bit of fun. However, we do an awful lot of other canvases which are of higher quality and will suit your needs better. Please let me know if our customer service team have satisfactorily dealt with your issue and I'm so sorry you were disappointed with your purchase. Kind regards, Guy.

    Everything was perfectly fine. Website works well. Etc. Except my order somehow was stuck by some kind of technical hitch. I wasn’t in a hurry fortunately but after a few weeks I checked order history and found that my order was ‘awaiting stock’. Nothing was labelled as out of stock when I purchased it. They responded to my enquiry quite quickly and reset the order which arrived promptly.
