Hi SCM,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that you felt our delivery service didn’t meet your expectations. We understand how important timely delivery is and aim to be as transparent as possible about expected delivery dates and charges.
Your order was placed on Wednesday 11th September, and as per our order acknowledgement (emailed to you within an hour of your order) it was dispatched on Monday 16th and delivered on Tuesday 17th; so from order placed to delivery was 4 working days. This was in line with the delivery timeframe we provided. We also confirmed this schedule with you again during our email exchange on Friday 13th September, and we appreciate your response acknowledging that this was acceptable at the time.
Regarding the delivery charge, our standard fee of £16.63+VAT is clearly stated online and is generally only a contribution to the actual cost, which includes both courier fees and packaging materials. We strive to be fair in our pricing while ensuring the safe delivery of all items.
We can only better meet your expectations if you let us know. For any urgent or time-critical requirements, we encourage customers to contact our sales office directly. If there's anything else we can do to assist, please feel free to get in touch.
Regards
Andy Cole - Managing Director

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about the damaged tubes and the condition of the package upon arrival. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide.
As you know, we immediately processed a replacement order after being made aware of the issue, and those replacement tubes should now be with you. We’ve also taken steps internally to review our packaging processes and shared your experience with our packing team to prevent this from happening again.
I understand your frustration, and we greatly appreciate your patience in allowing us to resolve this for you. If there's anything else we can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.
Regards,
Andy Cole - Managing Director
