Great service all the time

Lakeside Needlecraft are absolute terrific - really good service and delivery times, especially when you consider that they aren't a huge conglomerate like Amazon, and have to stick with the vagaries of the Royal Mail.

I've ordered from Lakeside Needlecraft on multiple occasions over the past few years, and recently had my first, very small, issue with an order - one of the (several) threads I'd ordered was the wrong colour. I contacted them and received an extremely quick response and a very speedy replacement thread, really impressed with customer service.

I wouldn't really order from anyone else.

Fantastic, reliable supplier

I love buying from Lakeside Needlecraft - they have a wonderful range of fabrics and always have the threads I need in stock. Competitively priced and the goods are always carefully packed, with tracked postage. Most importantly, Lakeside despatches your order in a timely manner (anyone buying project packs from Willow Fabrics will know what I mean!!). I will be using Lakeside for all my cross stitch projects from now on!

Highly Recommended.

I've ordered from Lakeside Needlecraft several times before and each time delivery has been swift and convenient.
The website has lots of choice and is easy to use.

Lovely selection of fabrics and thread and everything else too.

Lovely selection of fabrics and thread and everything else too. Dispatch isn’t the quickest which is totally understandable as fabrics are cut to size for each order. The site is easy to navigate, my one complaint is that browsing the fabrics is too addictive and I don’t have enough money for them all! 🤣

Great range of items at fantastic prices. Their customer care is brilliant. One of my items was out of stock. When I contacted them Kate immediately responded and arranged for a different kit of my choice to be added to my order, I was offered a full refund which I declined. Great communication regarding delivery. Items arrived super quickly. This is my second order from Lakeside Needlecraft and I shall happily order from them again.

Terrible communication, didn’t receive order

Ordered sewing bag for Christmas for my daughter. Didn’t arrive. Emailed to find out what was going on and was told the supplier didn’t have it in stock. Really poor service and won’t be using them again.

I am so sorry for the mix up. We did email you a week before Christmas and offered for you to choose a different option. The email must have gone into your spam folder. We did deal with your refund immediately once you requested to cancel.

Excellent service when original order out of stock

I contacted Kate for an update on my order to be told it was out of stock. Not only did she ask if a replacement would be suitable, but she then went above and beyond to have the replacement dispatched promptly so it still arrived in time. The kit looks of very good quality and I'm sure my niece will be delighted.
Fantastic service all round

Excellent service

Despite being busy with Black Friday and Christmas orders, Kate took the time to discuss my very modest order and sort it out to my specific needs. It arrived within 3 working days and is exactly what I wanted. I shall be using Lakeside Needlecraft again in the future - friendly, helpful service and prompt delivery, even for very small orders. Thank you
