Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Patrick.

I am sorry to hear about the delay and the lack of communication regarding your order. I attempted to contact you personally to discuss this matter and provide an update.

Unfortunately, your item has been placed on back order, and we appreciate that not receiving proactive updates has been frustrating. Please be assured that we are actively chasing our Supply Planning team for a revised delivery date and have escalated the matter due to the length of time you have been waiting.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience while we work to obtain a firm update. If there is anything further we can assist with, please reply to our correspondence and we will be happy to help.

Kind regards,

Donna

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

We're sorry to hear that you have not received your order. I attempted to contact you directly to discuss this and better understand the issue, but unfortunately was unable to speak with you.

As there appears to be some discrepancy regarding the items being referenced, we have reached out to request further information so that we can investigate thoroughly and provide the appropriate resolution.

We apologise for the frustration this has caused and would welcome the opportunity to resolve this for you. Please respond to our email at your convenience, and we'll be happy to assist further.

Kind regards,

Great product, but delivery could be improved

I knocked off one star purely due to the delivery experience. The driver left my parcel right by the main entrance without ringing the doorbell or attempting to contact me. Luckily, I was tracking the status online and ran downstairs as soon as it marked "delivered." If I hadn't been checking, the parcel could easily have been stolen.

Everything else was great.

Thank you again for your feedback, and please accept our apologies for any confusion caused. We appreciate your business and hope to serve you again in the future.

David Hurst,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

I have reviewed your order and can see that, shortly after it was placed, we identified that the safety shoes were unfortunately unavailable from stock. We appreciate how frustrating it is to place an order only to find that the item cannot be supplied as expected.

I also tried to contact you by telephone personally to discuss your experience and apologise, however I was unable to reach you. Following your cancellation request, I can see that a full refund was processed promptly and confirmation was sent shortly afterwards.

While we're pleased we were able to action your refund quickly, we understand this does not change the disappointment caused by the stock availability issue. Your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams as we continue to improve both our stock management and customer experience.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused, and thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Kind regards,
Donna
Customer Resolution Team.

I purchased a 'Collins ideal' 6428 bound notebook from Cromwells, havng been impressed with the lasting-quality of a previous one I used for years. A fair price, and the cardboard packaging used was very good.
