Dear Chris, I would just like to say how delighted and amazed I was to come home this evening to my new patio furniture, ordered and delivered in less than 24hrs!!

It is wonderful to be able to send good comments about a first class service. I will certainly recommend you and use your service again in the future.

Many thanks and regards to the team,

Wendy Moss.

Hi Chris ,

my mum got the acer and she said it was really well packaged and she loves it. She has kept your details and already a friend has commented on the beautiful plant and asked for where she got it.

Thank you i will definitely buy again.

Kind regards,

Tracey

Chris,
just wanted to feedback to you how easy I found your site. I live in Australia and my mum really wanted an Acer which I found on your site. It is quite hard to find outdoor plants to send like this and they make better gifts than flowers that die. I have only just ordered so hopefully the transaction will all go well. Will feed back more as needed,
Kind regards,

Dear Mr Smith

Having spent most of last weekend trawling the likes of B&Q, Homebase, FocusDIY and IKEA to gain inspiration for the best Christmas tree for our new office, whilst googling on Monday, I hit upon your website and found the perfect tree - black, 6ft, fibre optic and not only that, 25% off with pocket change delivery charges.  I wasted no time in ordering the tree, which also came with 20 free lights!  I then went back and read the delivery times (after ordering) and was slightly concerned to read that orders would be delivered between 2 and 15 days from order.  I had visions of the tree arriving as we were shutting up shop for Christmas.  I hope therefore that you can appreciate my delight when, less than 48 hours from ordering, our handsome, 6ft, black, fibre optic tree (plus free lights) arrived, in plenty of time to be set up this weekend.  Not only was it superbly packed, but extremely easy to erect.  Somewhat sad that it has to go back in the box until the weekend.

So I just wanted to say, on behalf of the Company, a big thank for solving our Christmas tree dilemma, for an excellent product and equally excellent service - I will email a photograph to you once we have put it up and had the grand switching on ceremony!

Kind regards and best wishes for the festive season.

Dear Ms Jones 

Many thanks for your message. How good to find a local trader who actually replies to emails. I was beginning to think there was nobody out there...........

I understand about the server going down. I will order again via your website.

Thanks once more.

Dear Shrubs

Just want to thankyou for a very efficient service, ordered on the 22nd May and received on the 24th May!  Very pleased with the product, pricing etc.

Also please that wasn't ripped off when it came to the cost of the postage, some companies seem to take pride in the excessive cost of the postage!

Again

Many thanks

Dear Sandra

 

The replacement tree arrived this morning less than 48 hours after Joe told me it would be replaced. This is an excellent service and I would like to convey my thanks to you all ( including Joe ! ) for a very swift and efficient service. It's really nice to talk to someone on the telephone,instead of call centres,

 

I am sorry if I appeared to be a 'pain' and the new tree is absolutely marvellous,so it was worth the effort !

 

Assuring you of my continued support

Dear Mike,

Thanks for the e-mail. I note your comments about the packaging and will pass them to our supplier.

I have enveloped up a replacement foot - but it won't go out 'till Monday's post now.

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the order!

Hi Chris,

Many thanks for the rapid delivery of my order which arrived today.
I've tested both trees and they both function well.

I've a couple of what I hope are constructive comments:

(a) The manufacturer must have a shortage of cardboard for packaging! Both trees had to have their tops bent to fit in their boxes. Just a couple of inches more cardboard would have allowed them to remain straight.

(b) One 'foot' on the base of the 1.2m tree was broken. Though unsightly, the level of the base is not affected and I could glue the two parts for a slightly better appearance. But if you do happen to have a spare foot (of the Christmas tree kind, of course!) 'about your personage', perhaps you would be kind enough to send me a replacement.

As the packaging is somewhat flimsy cardboard, either padding the base unit and foot of the larger tree or removing the feet before dispatch might prevent others suffering the same fate. No doubt the latter would require more customer instructions though and another plastic bag to contain the feet and screws.

Thank you again for your excellent service.

Yours sincerely,

Mike Sheppy.
