Haste accepted and haste delivered - wow! We needed board in a hurry (why is it that persons working on 300 year old instruments get into the pickle of needing card yesterday!?) and I ordered it after the office closed on a Wednesday. I sent an email, left a note and a voicemail asking for it to be expedited. Before dawn the next day there was a message saying that the board would be sent that very day - it was! - and it arrived today before midday. Wonderful service, thank you, JRB

Great products, fantastic customer service The website is clear and easy to navigate and I was able to submit my orders easily. Whilst waiting for my order, I emailed the company to check its progress, and the staff responded quickly and politely. When I expressed concern that I needed the items by a certain date and was worried they would not arrive, they arranged for a courier to send the items to arrive the next working day. I am very impressed with the level of service provided

Urgent order expedited I needed some snake weights at very short notice for a research visit to a library. Mandy in Customer Services could not have been more helpful in arranging prompt processing and rapid despatch of my order. They arrived in time, and proved invaluable.

£9.95 flat rate shipping for an order dispatched an entire working week after placing it Buyer beware- the shipping fee is highly unreasonable. My order will arrive a week after placing it (it took 5 full working days to dispatch), and in spite of it being physically very small, shipping is still £9.95 flat rate. My order items cost just shy of £20, so shipping is 50% of the value of my order. This flat rate fee might be justifiable for larger items or express delivery, but certainly not for the odd couple of bits of kit dispatched an entire working week after you place the order. I will not be a repeat customer. Urgent orders may not be fulfilled promptly. In this case, the shipping fee is completely unjustifiable. Update to reply from vendor: visible costs do not make them reasonable, particularly when the only realistic purchase is online and no specific date of dispatch is offered in advance. To give context, the shipping cost of two full-size bottles of whisky purchased from an independent retailer online cost exactly half the shipping price of my Preservation Equipment order for a box of the same dimensions but four times the weight. I’d have less of an issue with the insured price (empathizing entirely with the position of independent retailers) had it been dispatched promptly.

Promises Kept Promises Kept I was working within a specific time frame and needed to protect some photographs. I ran out of protective sleeves and on re-ordering was worried that they may not be delivered in time. I phoned, was greeted with professionalism and courtesy. My urgent need was responded to and a promise of delivery was kept. Thank you to Linda, Mandy and all those involved in expediting my order! So much appreciated.
