Very helpful. I’ve had problems before with online deliveries disappearing, so I asked them if they could arrange to send my order to fit in when I knew I would be at home to receive it, and they were happy to oblige.

Excellent Company
Although the item ordered wasn’t a good fit and had to be returned, I wouldn’t hesitate to order from this company again. They are a friendly and efficient team with excellent customer service. Products ordered from them previously have been excellent. Communication was good and returns were straightforward.

Great item
Great item. The shop did not have my size so I was advised to go online. The whole process was pain free and I love supporting and promoting small businesses as I am also a brand new sole trader in the North East.
