Thank you for your recent order and review. We understand that the total cost of your order increased due to the higher postage charge to deliver the goods to your address. Unfortunately, some postcode areas attract an additional fee for delivery. We do state this on our website, however, we have passed your comments on to our webteam to see whether they can make this information clearer before the final payment page. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you for your order and review. You comment on the cost of delivering an order outside of the UK mainland. We would like to explain the situation regarding delivery and prices across the country. As the range of products we manufacture and supply is so diverse in size and shape, we have to rely on couriers, to deliver the vast majority of our orders. To calculate their delivery tariff our couriers split the country into various zones governed by postcodes and unfortunately, delivery to some areas attracts an extra charge. We realise this is not an ideal situation but as our trade increases, we hope to be able to reduce this charge so deliveries to the whole of the UK mainland cost exactly the same. If it is any consolation, we do not add a surcharge to the figure our couriers charge us; in fact, we subsidise the £15.95 delivery cost on every order. Wherever possible, we try to send our products by Royal Mail or similar postal services but, as we mentioned above, the size, shape and weight of many of our products precludes this. We hope this is of help to you and thank you again for your order.

“I ordered 5 pairs of gloves, 3 said medium but they were all different sizes. When I rang customer services, although they were friendly, they had poor product knowledge. Over the phone I arranged an exchange. I filled in my order accordingly but I was given a refund instead. Very annoying as these were a gift. I ordered them elsewhere.”

Thank you for your review and your order. We are sorry to hear that you encountered problems when dealing with us. After checking our system we can see that when your order was placed on our website both the billing and delivery name entered was Ms Vicky Clarke’s, this is the reason that your review request was addressed to Ms Clarke and not yourself. We understand that you had emailed us to report an error with the address so we could amend this for you. However, your order had already been despatched from our warehouse. We had contacted our carriers to update them with the new delivery address but unfortunately this was not done in time by our carriers and delivery was made. We are currently investigating the reason for the address error on your order with our Web Team and would like to sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

“Firstly the arched sections were damaged in transit and there seemed to be some mis-communication your end. We got replacements but the damaged items were not collected so we had to dispose of them. A 3-way connector was missing from the sealed fixings pack and then today when we finally had all the pieces, we unwrapped the straight pieces and virtually all of them have scuffed or chipped paintwork. Very poor and we are very disappointed. Looks like your products are being roughly handled before packaging and the paper packaging does not help matters”

“I bought two pots for which the sizes were misleading. The measurement appears to have been for the external diameter rather than the internal..........and even this was smaller than advertised. Ideally pots should be sized by their volume in order to make them comparable. However the real issue was the limited ability of HH to allow me to change them without having to pay extortionate transportation fees for both the return and the delivery of the replacement. Surely it is not beyond the wit of man to arrange a collection and a delivery at the same time!”
