Thanks for the feedback, Shaun - really pleased everything was spot on and that the custom cuts were just what you needed. Appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Accurate cutting and prompt delivery.
Quick delivery and more importantly 4 different cast Perspex panels of size around 1m**2 were cut within a millimeter tolerance, which is very important for this project. Perhaps a minor service improvement could be if the type of Perspex (cast or extruded) would be stated on the order documents.

Thanks for the feedback - really pleased to hear the panels were cut accurately and worked for your project. We know how important tolerances, so it’s good to hear we got it right.
Also appreciate the suggestion regarding noting cast or extruded on the paperwork - that’s a sensible point and something we’ll look at improving.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts.
