Good service and ordering
Easy to use website. Helpful on phone and when I went to the shop in Newport to collect my item.
Would have given 5 stars, but I used to be able to do this in my local shop in Ventnor, which they closed.

Superb customer service
Superb customer service. They exchanged a faulty item after I struggled to find the receipt. I try to shop locally and Hursts are a prime example why you should. Great communication and an easy exchange.
