Always amazing service!
Having had a very positive experience in the past, I was more than happy to rely on the description of the item I was purchasing before photos had been taken. It was exactly what I needed and having taken it to Marwell Zoo with my Scouts yesterday it works perfectly! It arrived the day they estimated, but the only thing was there was a mistype on the address so it went to one of my neighbours. Not the end of the world, it wasn't a million miles away and mistypes happen. The service in general was amazing, as ever and I know I'll be back to them for further kit.
