While it is a pity that the UK has left the EU, and I had to take care of the customs payment myself, I must say that communication from you and from the transportation company was excellent, and all worked smoothly. Thank you for the quick processing of my order.”
“Just wanted to say a massive thank you for everyone’s part in getting these samples to us so quickly, cheaply and in one piece – Hooray!! They look absolutely amazing, my most favourite range we’ve ever developed, we will definitely use them at the showcase as a great example of teamwork.”
