Good straight forward trade, delivery a bit slow but that was down to the courier. Loved the coasters. Will be trading again. Recommended seller. AA ++

The website/store is great with lots of additional info and hands on experience where the owner has used the products himself. Puts other homebrew shops to shame. Just try it and see.
Ships very fast. You know what you're getting and how quick you're getting it.
