    Excellent variety of artist's equipment for different mediums. Delivery very quick as well. The only downside is that the online store items often go out of stock quickly, so you have to pick the right time to be shopping.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I've looked into your order for you and notice we despatched on 03/03 within 48 hours of receiving it. I've also tracked your parcel and was dismayed to find it was delivered on 14/03 (11 days after it was despatched). I'm so sorry Royal Mail took so long to deliver your goods. They're generally pretty good at the moment but they do still have their moments when things take a lot longer than we'd all like. I hope you enjoy your goods and, once again, I'm so sorry your goods took so long to arrive. Kind regards, Guy.

    I phoned their office to ask about their paper. The girl was very nice and friendly but didn't know about the product so asked someone and they assured me the paper was white rather than parchment - it wasn't! So a waste of time really.

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm so sorry we advised you incorrectly for your paper. This musy have been hugely frustrating. I've spoken to our customer service team including the girl you mention. I understand we've been in touch to apologise and to rectify the situation. I hear a better product has been identified and has been sent out to you. Please let us know if this is better suited to your needs and, once again, we're so sorry for providing the wrong information. Kind regards, Guy.

    I found most of my supplies good but the folder I paid for had a fault and the replacement then had the same fault. Since emailing them about it again last week, I haven’t heard anything back, so I’m not sure what happened to the good customer service. Would have given full stars if it weren’t for this fact

    Thank you for taking the time to review us. I'm sorry you feel we didn't provide the service you or we would have liked. I've looked into your order and you ordered just before midnight on Wednesday 24th and we despatched three working days later. This was a particularly challenging period for us and now we're fully back to our normal standards of despatching regular orders within 2 working days. We've looked through all of our messages and I'm afraid we couldn't find correspondence from you. It looks like there may have been a glitch somewhere so, unfortunately, your message didn't reach us. I can assure you we would have responded right away normally. Our customer service team have been in touch by phone since but no-one picked up at your end. Once again, I'm sorry you felt our service wasn't up to scratch on this occasion and I can assure you this is an exception. If I can help further, please don't hesitate to respond to this message or contact us via the normal methods. Kind regards, Guy.

    I'm very happy with my purchase - speed of delivery and the fact that I could buy one canvas. So many sites sell canvasses in minimum order batches of 3 or 6 - so when i found I could buy just one item here = great! Will buy again.

    Purchasing process on the site was super simple. Paid for Next Day, however was processed on the weekend so confirmation stated 1 day late on postage. Partial refund was provided as soon as i called. Great Service. Products all perfect.
