I had an issue with the delivery Sailing Chandlery couldn't have been more helpful; the wrong postcode.
The problem is the 3rd party program you use on the order form to find an address when you start typing. There has been an update and it 'fills-in' the wrong post code for the address (didn't use to). DPD use the Postcode only so it went to No.20 at the wrong post code!

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your kind words!
We’re really pleased to hear our team was helpful on the phone and that you were happy with the fast delivery and product quality.
Took too long to deliver
Ordered on a Monday, not delivered until Thursday afternoon. By which time I had left for Spain, with my boat. For a small in-stock item this is no good to me.

Hi John,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
I am sorry to hear your items did not arrive on time.
I have looked at this today and it appears the issue was with DPD which is not good enough. We dispatched the item on time and they failed to deliver the item to the time required.
I am going to refund the money you paid for next day shipping.
I am very sorry we've let you down in this instance.
Many thanks

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the great feedback!
We’re delighted to hear you were happy with the service, pricing, and speedy dispatch, and that everything arrived just as described.
Rapid and reliable shipping every time
Rapid and reliable shipping every time means it always makes it for the next sailing day. That alone means I always use Sailing Chandlery for anything urgent. That said even if it isn't urgent and I shop around it is often the best price.
