Better than the usual brand

I know this area well and this beats the usual brand I buy, mainly because the spec is clearer on the product page. The item is well made and the fixings feel more sturdy than the cheaper alternative I tried last year. Delivery was quick and nothing was damaged. Happy with it.

The strap clips are the best bit

The metal clips on the strap are the bit I noticed first, they feel properly solid and don't wobble. I was in a rush so ordered on my phone and it went through first time. Delivery was fast and the item was exactly as shown. Would order again.

Not quite as pictured

Bought a bag and it looked nicer in the photos. The colour is a bit washed out in person and the strap feels cheap. Delivery was quick though, arrived in two days.

Cheaper than the rest

The free delivery threshold was the first thing I noticed and it made the basket price a lot better than the other sites I checked. The item is exactly what I wanted and I got two for less than one from the usual place. Packaging was minimal, which I appreciated. Good value all round, I'll keep using them.

Better than the high street option

I did compare it with the big high street chain before ordering and this was clearly the better choice for what I needed. The checkout was straightforward and I had no trouble finding the right size guide, which I always find tiresome elsewhere. Everything arrived well packed and on the day they said it would. I would certainly order from them again, and I have already mentioned them to my sister.

Needed a replacement quickly

My old kettle packed in on a Sunday and I needed a replacement before the weekday. I placed the order on the Sunday evening and it was dispatched first thing Monday. The only slight issue was that the product description didn't mention the cable length, which I had to check myself. Otherwise a sound experience.

Decent price for the money

You get a fair amount for what you pay, which is why I went with them over the others. The order was simple to place and the item fits the description. Nothing to complain about and the parcel was fine. Would buy again.

Sent the wrong colour first

I was sent a grey version rather than the blue one I'd picked, which was a nuisance. They did sort out the swap within a few days though. The item itself is well made. It's a fair result but I wasn't best pleased to have to deal with it.

first order was a cardigan

Ordered a knitted cardigan as my first ever order with them and I was a bit nervous about buying clothes online. It fits really well and the wool feels nicer than I expected for the price. The tracking updates were clear and the parcel turned up a day early. Really pleased, I'll be back for something for the winter.

Fine but took a while to arrive

Went with them in the end after checking a couple of other sites for the same thing. Order was easy enough but the parcel took nearly a week longer than they said it would, and the site didn't send any update until I emailed them. Would still order again.

the jacket is well made

Went with the waterproof jacket after comparing three others. The zips feel sturdy and the hood fits properly, which the cheaper ones never did. Delivery took two days and it came in a simple box. Pleased with it so far and I'm back out in the rain this weekend.

The gift arrived in time

I needed a birthday gift for my granddaughter and time was tight, so I ordered on a Thursday. It arrived by the Saturday, which I didn't think possible. The gift was exactly what she wanted and the wrapping was tidy. I'm grateful for the service.

my first order and it's lovely

Bought a set of notebooks as my first order and the paper is really lovely, nice and thick so the pen doesn't bleed through. The order page was clear and I got a shipping update the same day. The box arrived a day early and everything was there. I'm already thinking about the planners.

Preferred to the alternative

I found this more suitable than the other shop I usually use, which charges rather more for the same thing. The website is clear and easy to navigate, and I was able to order without any fuss. The item arrived as described and well wrapped. A very satisfactory experience.

lovely little candle

The candle smells gorgeous and the glass jar is actually really pretty, I've already put it on my windowsill. Ordering was dead easy and I got a confirmation within a minute. Arrived in good time and nothing got broken. Might get the matching one next.

Sizing chart on the site is spot on

The sizing chart is the first thing I looked at and it's properly detailed, with measurements in both cm and inches, which I wish more places did. I've been buying this sort of kit for years so I knew what to look for. Checkout was quick and the replacement arrived the next working day, though the box was a bit squashed at one corner.

needed it for a wedding

I needed a dress quickly for a wedding at the weekend and the site was fine on my phone while I was on the train. Ordering took about two minutes and the confirmation came straight through. The only niggle was that the colour looked a touch darker on screen than in real life. It arrived on the Friday though, so I was happy.

Good value, a bit of a wait

Good, honest prices for the quality, and I looked at four other places before settling on this one. The product itself is solid and does the job. Delivery took closer to a week than the three days they quoted, which was a little annoying, but the updates kept me informed. Would order again.

Been a customer for years

I have been ordering from them for about six years now, mostly for replacement parts for the house. I needed a new washer kit and reordered the same one I had before. It turned up as expected and the instructions were the same as last time. They have never let me down.

Cheaper than the other place

This was cheaper than the other place I usually use for the same tool, which is why I switched. Ordering was quick enough though the checkout asked me to re-enter my address once. The tool works well. Delivery took a bit longer than I'd have liked.
