My first purchase (online) was made because their prices are better than the competition. But their service also puts them apart. They call me to confirm the orders, and tell me when they can deliver. The delivery guy is cheerful and helpful - Only had good experience with them.,

Can't beat em in Cornwall.
Great customer service, ordered at 7.30 am online, on a Saturday, had a phone call at 8.10 confirming delivery for early Tuesday morning.
Delivery driver noticed a glitch in the delivery address and phoned to check beforehand, very professional.
