Excellent customer service.

Ordered a travel mug and after a day still hadn't received confirmation or shipping info. Sent an email and received a very quick response from Justin that was apologetic and polite, Justin explain that they had a system outage which had caused emails not to be sent and explained that the package would be being sent out that day and provided a parcel force tracking ID. Item arrived extremely well wrapped in bubble wrap within the outer package. Will definitely being using Summits again and will recommend to others as well.

Excellent product

Excellent product backed up with a good and easy to use website. Only issue was with the delivery which was rather slow- probably due to industrial action.

Hello Richard,

We are glad to hear the shoes are to your liking, cracking choice.
Yes, unfortunately your order was placed over the postal strike action which inevitably had an impact on delivery times.
Perhaps on your next visit with us, we can achieve that 5 star rating with our next working day delivery promise! Thank you for supporting a family business.
