The interior package was a little smashed, but mostly arrived intact. At that price, should have been immaculate.

You can trust them.
I have been a customer for many years and never had any issues to complain about. I can always, when I order, trust that my orders arrive undamaged and in the given time they say it should arrive to me.
Also they´re website is very customer friendly, easy to use and full of information that is enjoyable to read.
Will keep on doing business with them and can recommend them to all that like to hear.

Terrible customer service
Terrible customer service. Pre-ordered a Vinyl bundle and it still hasn't been shipped out a month later. Apparently there was a delay with part of the bundle. Because I had selected ship all at once, they refused to send out my vinyl seperately in the meantime. Had I known it would take this long I would've clicked send seperately. Having worked in ecommerce before I know it's not hard to change it in the back end. Just lazy customer service. Next time I will just order from a store where I know I can actually get it. I had it for a present and now its ruined and I have to go buy another one. Pathetic

Very Bad Experience / Corrected
I understand mistakes, sometimes they occur. But a company that does not assume theirs is unforgivable. I made a purchase on the 20th of August. On the 24th of September I reached out Customer Service that answered swiftly and proposed a refund or replacement. I chose replacement but asked for a document to avoid paying Custom Taxes again. On the 7th of October finally arrived and I was lucky. The address was wrong (missed the floor and apartment) and received it due to the Postman effort finding me. I complained that the address was wrong and that I had to pay taxes (€25,81) again. The answer was “I am responsible for paying the taxes”. I agree with that, but just once, not twice. If the company sent a document referring that it was an amendment and not a new sale I wouldn`t be charged. For the address mistake … not a word … not even a “we are sorry” … My 1st and sadly last purchase.
-----------------------------------------------------
At last someone heard me and realized it was simple to solve. As I said before errors occur, the way you take care of them makes you a good or bad company. Thank you for your understanding.
