Poor communication

I have yet to be informed whether or not my order has been dispatched despite a request from me for information. It has certainly not arrived yet.

Good Afternoon,

First of all, we would like to apologise for the issues you've experienced with your order - we strive to provide an excellent shopping experience and unfortunately this time we have fallen short.

Your parcel was sent out on a next day service with FedEx. My colleague has chased with them with today and they have said that they are unable to locate the parcel. My colleague has sent you an email regarding this, asking if you would like a replacement sent out or a refund.

I would like to apologise again for the issues with your order & any inconvenience this may have caused. We would like to offer you a discount code if you wish to shop with us again.

Very good customer service

Although there was an issue with reported stock quantities on the web site, customer service got in contact straight away and arranged for an alternative product.
Their insight into some of the details of the order and speed to find an alternative was excellent.
I only don't give it 5 stars due to the initial error on the web site!

Good prompt service.

The price was much the same as other vendors, but they replied quickly via there "chat", when I enquired about their delivery cost.
Initially they wanted to charge an additional £10 for an AB31 post code. I said I'd look elsewhere, and they drop the £10 for a "remote area", so I ordered.
Banchory isn't remote, it's 16 miles from an international airport, and I can be in central London for 09:30, if I catch the first flight to London.
I get courier deliveries most days from most of the large couriers.
And the boots fit!
