They have the items, they deliver them

Not much to say, really: easy to purchase, arrived quickly enough, the lightbulbs work!

The lightbulbs were daylight bulbs, and they definitely brighten the evenings - far more pleasant to work/play in than regular yellowish bulbs.

Good value

Good value, easy to use and shipped efficiently although the courier (evri) took 4 days which is why I didn’t give 5 stars!

The package was inadequately protected…

The package was inadequately protected with bubble wrap or similar, such that one bulb arrived shattered.
It is fair to say that this was replaced without a murmur, but the replacement was lucky to survive as the small container was able to move around in the postal container with little cushioning wrap.
So lessons are not learnt I believe

Efficient service

My order arrived with a damaged bulb. What made the transaction first class was the ease and speed that the situation was rectified with the supply of a replacement.
