Paint had leaked...UPDATED
Paint had leaked out into all the plastic wrapping. It was quite bad and took me a while to clean up. I would suggest 3 or 4 clips on the lid would be appropriate as this was a mixed paint and clearly just putting the lid back on is not sufficient.
Update: since writing this review and The Paint Shed reaching out to me via email, I have to say thank you to them for their very good customer service. They offered me a small refund which I said wasn't necessary, but they gave it to me anyway. And the speed in which they responded was admirable. My review is now 4 stars! Having excellent, responsive customer service is vital for businesses and the Paint Shed proved themselves to be first class.

Hello Sarah,
We are very sorry to hear about the leaked paint and the inconvenience it caused. We can't see any contact from yourself regarding this - i will reach out to yourself to speak with you more about this personally and again i can only apologise for any issues caused by this.
We unfortunately don't send with clips due to health risks that can come from these, however do appreciate your aid in resolution.
Kind Regards,
The Paint Shed
