Dear John

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the difficulties with your order's timing and the inconvenience it caused.

As discussed, we understand that the delay from UPS made it challenging to receive the items in time for your trip to Ireland. Though the order was dispatched on schedule, we were disappointed that our carrier’s processing delay impacted your plans.

We offered the choice to either fully refund the items or allow you to keep them at a 50% discount for future events. When we received confirmation that the items were no longer needed, we initiated the cancellation and return, followed by a full refund to your account.

Upon hearing your preference to keep the items after the return was already processed, we explained that the products were being recycled so they wouldn’t go to waste. Thank you for understanding.

We’re also glad that the other item on your order for the GRS tote bags arrived on time and as expected. If there’s anything else we can do, please let us know, as we'd love to support your future events smoothly.

Kind Regards

John Morrey

The service has been absolutely brilliant! The option to see our logo on the products before purchasing is a stroke of genius. Even your office team was incredibly helpful with all my questions. A big thank you to everyone involved in processing my order :)

Avoid Hotline

Ordered pens, notebooks and bottles per their recommendations and designs.
Pens and notebooks arrived in time but print quality was extremely poor. They accepted the pens were and offered to refund right away. They did not accept that the notebooks were and I am still in dispute about this. I have never printed anywhere with this quality and having spent thousands of pounds with them, really regret buying from them. This has now held up things for us massively. Please stick to other printers.

We're truly sorry to hear that you were not happy with your items. As soon as you raised the issue with our team, we worked to resolve it as quickly as possible. We offered to reprint the items with options that we felt would work better on your selected products or to collect them and provide a full refund. You opted for the latter, and we promptly arranged a collection and processed the refund for both the notebooks and pens without delay.

We sincerely apologise for the initial issues with your order, but we ensured to offer solutions that could resolve the situation swiftly. If you have any further concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our team again. We're always here to help.

Thanks

Ordered branded tote bags and t-shirts through Hotline for a campaign and the customer service was absolutely exemplary. Their team were really communicative and helpful, and managed to turn around our orders on a tight deadline. Definitely recommend.

Excellent quick service

I don't write many reviews but Hotline pulled out all the stops to make sure the products arrived on time, especially when it was in a remote part of the UK. My client was really pleased with the quality of pens, notepads and Tote bags, especially with the tight deadline. Great customer service as well.

First class service both in terms of delivery quality and pre-order assistance. Definitely use you again should the need arise.
Only issue is that the minimum order for tote bags is 50 and I only needed 25. Other than that great company!!!

The customer service from Hotline is…amazing

The customer service from Hotline is worth 10 stars!! Sometimes things don't always go to plan and it's how it is dealt with. I had a problem with some bags and although I only discovered it a couple of months after I received my order, it was dealt with extremely quickly and with no fuss. The service team kept me appraised all the way through and I received my replacement bags 5 days before expected.

This is one of the best sevices I have ever experienced.

All of their products are excellent and I but all my branded merchandise from Hotline.
