Due to courier problems at the start. I must say the referee store is second to none with customer service. Can't fault them and sorted out the problem and recieved the order perfectly wrapped.

Good customer service

I ordered two sizes of referee cards but they were delayed/lost because of the postal strike. When they found out they send a replacement order. Many thanks

Hi Roisin,
Please email us at sales@TheRefereeStore.co.uk so that we can assist and investigate this further for you.

As is the case with other small businesses, Royal Mail are significantly letting us down with parcels, whether that be with delayed deliveries or indeed losing parcels.

We hope you'd be able to update your review once we have helped you. 1 Star reviews for issues that are beyond our control and indeed for issues you have not directly contacted us about severely impact on our reputation.

We hope to hear from you soon so we can sort your problems out.

Hi Graeme,

I hope you're well.

I can see that you ordered on Monday 29th August 2022 at 4.33pm (A bank holiday in England). Your order was dispatched the next day on Tuesday 30th August 2022 via Royal Mail.

Royal Mail have been on strike over the last week, so this is delaying all post within the UK.

I have checked the tracking information for your order.
The latest update is
"Delivery Attempted - No Answer". This was updated on Friday 2nd September 2022.

Your order is "Available for Redelivery or Collection" from Middlesbrough Royal Mail delivery office.

We hope your review rating will change once you received your order.

After seeing some items on Facebook…

After seeing some items on Facebook that I was after that had come back into stock I went onto the Website.

For some reason when I went to checkout the carriage cost quoted was huge £24.00😳

I sent them an email and they said that they’d have a look at the unusually high price and get back to me. They got back to me the next day with a much more reasonable price

Hi Wayne,

I hope you're well.

I can see that you ordered on Monday 29th August 2022 at 4.48pm (A bank holiday in England). Your order was dispatched the next day on Tuesday 30th August 2022 via Royal Mail.

Royal Mail have been on strike over the last week (And that is continuing this week), so this is delaying all post within the UK (Incoming and outgoing).

I have checked the tracking information for your order.
The latest update is
"Your item has been received at DUBLIN DELIVERY, Ireland". This was last updated yesterday (Monday 5th September 2022).

We hope your review rating will change once you receive your order.

Hi Chris,
The product you refer to, Write-On Yellow Cards won't be back in stock for another 2 weeks (Approx). You were able to order due to an administrative error on our website. We do not feel it's fair making you wait two weeks for an order to be dispatched without the prior knowledge of this when ordering. Hence we refunded your order in full.
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
