Good shop, great communication, best quality and pricing
We brought the 8 shot ring caps from here, they are the best we've had and best quality by far. Very competitive pricing and to be honest would always come here as you definitely get what you pay for. Top service

Now arrived
Well, it hasn't arrived yet so a bit difficult to review! the acknowledgment email gives no indication of a delivery date. So a better tracking service would be good. When the item arrives I will be happy to review it!
UPDATE: It did of course arrive and a certain 10 year old lad was thrilled. The caps all worked fine and this is probably the best price for this product.

Hello, The "tracking" number is actually a shipping reference, and yes, the Royal Mail website will only provide an update when they attempt to deliver your item.
Order was dispatched very quickly
