The product is not same as i ordered item which is different brand and different origin and also much cheaper than i expected. But thankfully the customer service is quite excellent, it helped me to process refund process soon. But you should have a look what you paid and the product received is it the same.

Great business
I needed a specific size of MDF they were so helpful sorted it all via email then I went in to collect the same day 😁 I don’t know much about pricing but I was more than happy with the cost so I would say good value for money

Thanks so much for the review Angela we really appreciate it!
Limited shipping options
There seemed to be a bit of a delay dispatching the item.
Also you only offer us and Australia for overseas shipping. This means I needed to use a re-forward option to ship to NZ. This adds to cost and delivery time. My guess is that if you can ship to Australia it should be similar effort to ship to NZ.

Hello Ed thank you for your review. With international orders we can send anywhere in the world but we just ask our customers to get in touch with us so we can calculate the postage. We have over 5000 products and with postage rates changing frequently we find this is the best way for us to offer the most competitive prices. So if you would like to order with us again just let us know and we can calculate a price to ship to NZ for you. All the best Adam Dayman
Shop locally - great choice and service !
I needed varnish for a couple of small jobs and going to a big hardware shop and looking round is not an option. How easy is it to look on Daymans website, find what I need, place my order on line and the goods are delivered to my door the same day ! Competitive prices, so I shop locally and will do again. Try it - you won’t be disappointed !
