Visited twice last week
Visited the Skipton branch twice last week, and found both times the staff friendly, helpful and efficient. Didn't have in stock the item I wanted on my second visit(a small amount of coloured pebbles), but rang me later that day to say they'd got some in, and at very reasonable rate. Very impressive service for a less than £9 sale.

First class service from ordering through to delivery
Easy ordering via the website. Friendly and helpful customer services team. Prompt delivery on both occasions that we have placed an order, with our goods have delivered earlier that expected.

Albeit
Albeit the order came in two parts. Customer Service was excellent, which is what it is there for, if things do not go to plan. Product is first class , with a super price which prompted the purchase in first place. However would recommend and definitely use again.
