The website said the scarf was made of cashmere, upon receiving it I found out it was lambswool and not cashmere.

Very quick service and the packaging was lovely. Even got a free birthday card with my order which was great as it saved me from going to the shop. I'm very happy with my order, thank you.

Swift service

Ordered a small branded. Slightly cheaper than elsewhere and used an introductory offer code which negated the delivery charge (which would have been relatively high for such a small light item). Dispatched and arrived rapidly. Great service but maybe have a lower delivery charge for small items, as this would deter me from ordering in future.

Prompt delivery, order arrived quickly and well wrapped... my favourite chocolate snack, sooo morerish... I'm going to introduce various members of my family to these this Easter... not the right shape for Easter eggs, but also no palm oil which I'm trying to avoid...
