Bought the retro tin set
Bought the 1950s tin set for my mum's birthday. Got it in 2 days, looks spot on in the photos and she loved it. Checkout was quick on my phone too. Will be back.

compared to the auction sites
Compared with the auction sites, I found the prices here a fair bit more, though I did appreciate not having to bid on anything. The record player I ordered for my husband's birthday arrived safely, but it took nine days to turn up when the site said three to five. I did telephone them and the lady was pleasant enough, though it was a while before anyone got back to me properly about it.

fair price but slow
The price on the cassette player was a good deal compared with the auction sites, and it works well once plugged in. The thing that matters most to me though is the wait, which was nearly three weeks because the item was on backorder and nobody told me until I chased. It was a real nuisance and I had to ring to get a straight answer. The item itself is fine.

Better prices than the usual sites
I looked at a few places before choosing this one, and the prices here were lower than the big auction sites for the same sort of thing. Ordering was simple enough, though the checkout asked me to make an account first which was a bit annoying. Delivery was slower than I'd hoped, took about nine days, but the item arrived in one piece.
Still my go to for old-style gifts
I've been buying from them for about six years now and the detail that stands out most is how the little tin box comes wrapped in tissue, every single time. The prices have crept up a bit lately but the quality is still there. Delivery was quick again this month, which is more than I can say for some of the others I use.
