Great products

Lovely products... only a couple of slightly faulty ones in a batch of 250 so can't complain at all. I wish the quotes included VAT/tax however as I had budgeted a certain amount and the final amount ended up being more than anticipated.

Hi,

Thanks for your review and for your order. We're delighted to hear that you were pleased with the products overall, and that only a couple of items out of a batch of 250 had any issues.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding VAT. We understand how important it is to budget accurately, especially for larger promotional merchandise orders. Our prices are displayed excluding VAT as many of our customers are VAT-registered businesses, however VAT is shown in the basket before checkout and can also be viewed on your Visual Proof™ by clicking the pricing breakdown link. We'll certainly take your comments on board as we continue looking for ways to make pricing as clear and transparent as possible.

Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing Hotline. We hope to have the opportunity to help with your next branded merchandise project.

Kind regards,
