Hi David,

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your experience with the ordering system. We understand how frustrating it must have been to place a second order and incur an additional delivery charge.

To make this right, we will be issuing a refund for one of the delivery charges. This will be processed shortly, and you should see it reflected in your account within the next few days.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will pass your feedback on to our team to help improve the ordering experience going forward.

Kind regards,

Don't advertise NEXT DAY delivery if orders are placed before 3 pm and then use a courier that delivers 3 days later than I needed it. I had to cancel a job and waste a day. Thanks loads.
