This company lacks good customer service and find it hard to sort out issues when they go wrong. They promise to give you updates but never do. Be very careful when ordering from them as items never arrive on agreed date and spoils birthday surprises.

Pebble picture

Received my item within the timescale quoted - packed really well and very impressed with the quality 👍. Was a pebble picture only criticism perhaps a little expensive for the size. (Didn’t check the size ).

I placed an order for a memorial box and paid for express delivery which was 24 hours.
It took 24 hours for the seller to confirm that they received the order and then in the next 24 hours there was no further update.
I contacted the selller and on the positive side this was resolved within a few hours.

Excellent customer service

Although the original item was not quite perfect, both Not On The High Street and Dust and things dealt with the problem promptly and efficiently. The personal service from Dust and things especially was excellent and follow up from Not on the High Street was reassuring

FOREST AND CO. STAY AWAY

I ordered 2 scarves from one of their sellers, Forest and Co. 4 turned up, all the wrong colour. Of course they took payment for 4 scarves even though I only ordered 2.
Promised to refund but we are now well into the New Year and nothing has been refunded.
I will file a claim in the small claims court as I’m fed up with being ripped off by companies.
FOREST AND CO. Remember the name

Usually excellent service but very disappointed this time. Ordered for Christmas and no delivery nearly one month later. No explanation or contact and unable to contact the seller or rather, no response from seller after three emails.
