“My experience was very positive. I made a small error regarding part of my order: the cusomer service/communication was first rate and the issue was resolved for me very promptly. Remainder of my order arrived as and when expected - if not even a little sooner, in fact... A fine selection of materials at reasonable rates. I would happily shop there again.”
