“I'm a new customer, but I'm already impressed with the speed and efficiency of TEF. I placed two orders and they were despatched on the day and arrived a.m. the following day. The items were exactly as described. Super service! I will certainly buy again and would recommend TEF to others. And they have a great range of products too.”
