plenty of choice

Ordering was easy and plenty of choice. Hubby very pleased with his mead.
The only disappointment was royal mails poor service. They stated they'd not been able to deliver the item, even though we were in all day.

Placed order and paid on the 13th March

Placed order and paid on the 13th March. Now the 22nd March. NO updates just tells me when I log on to my account items in process. They were in stock. Surely you should have contacted me with some updates or tell me the items are not available? Very disappointed again.....

Great jigsaws

Great jigsaws. Arrived in a timely manner, with full delivery information provided. Was a slight challenge in ordering as not all discounts/ free postage added to order, but it did work out in the end

Very prompt delivery of an EH Guidebook

I thought it might be useful to buy the EH Guide Books in advance of a visit to Eltham Palace. Reading about the site would to understand what you are viewing when actually present. EH despatched the book immediately after ordering and I received it the following day, carefully packaged.
