Thank you for the kind review Manjit
Great Customer Service
Wide selection of products and reasonable prices.
We had a small delay in receiving our order when Royal Mail lost our parcel en route - not Specialist Craft's fault, but they helped to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently which means we'd be confident to use them again.

Thank you for the kind words!
We aim to rectify any issues quickly that should arise quickly with minimum disruption to our customers. Thank you again
Fantastic
My initial order was lost by the courier (no fault of Specialist Crafts). Replacement orders were rapidly organised and I was updated by email of their progress. Everyone I spoke to in customer service was kind and efficient and James was especially helpful in ensuring that my order was replaced quickly. When the original order did in fact arrive after having received the replacement, I was told to keep the items and use them - amazing customer service! The items are of great quality and I look forward to using them. I will definitely order again - thank you!
