Lack of communication.
This was the second delivery of propane gas I had ordered. The delivery was very quick, but I asked both times to message me before delivering, which never happened. The last time I was out and the driver had to return which cost you time and money. Geoff Stagg

Hello Lee, Unfortunately Royal Mail lost your parcel and it was the last of this item. So we did let you know as soon as we found out and processed you with a full refund. It is frustrating when this happens for us both.
Delighted

Great service, delivered within hours. My only niggle is that if I'd been told when the delivery was due, I'd have had the empty gas bottle ready.
