The very fast delivery

The very fast delivery, so impressive compared to companies.
Good communication throughout the ordering process.
And, the product 'black sugar paper' ideal for soft pastel work.

Delivery was absymal, products are good

Delivery was absymal. Part of the order was delivered to the primary school next door, the other part was delivered 2 hours after the delivery slot. Products are good, and exactly what I ordered.
