Good service. Query about delivery method
Prompt and efficient service, and the paper I ordered was very well packed. My only criticism is of the delivery service used, which was perhaps excessively secure for the value of the items ordered. It took two goes to get the item delivered, because I was told it had to be signed for, and the delivery company wouldn't leave it in the box provided for parcels at the house, and I had to wait in 3 hours to get it the second time. Would it be worth only using this company and this degree of security for items of greater value than, say, £100, rather than for smaller items? I'm sure, when I've ordered from you before, that the parcels were simply left for me in the box provided, and there was no trouble. Also you might make reviewing a bit less time consuming (chasing codes and submitting titles ...)

Poorly packaged with contents missing
I ordered 5 tins of inks, a roller and lino from London Graphics and ended up spending £197. This included the £4.95 standard delivery despite initially stating that items bought over a certain amount would be free delivery. 5 days later I receive my untracked parcel missing the 2 out 5 8 ounce speedball ink cans and the lino sheets. The package had been so poorly packed that one end was open with half the contents missing. No help offered from customer help desk. I won't be buying anything from this company again.

Hi Astrid,
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me earlier—I really appreciate the opportunity to clarify this situation with you.
As we discussed, you mentioned that you tried to call us in the afternoon, but unfortunately, all our phone lines were busy at the time. Our system then prompted you to leave a voicemail or send us an email so we could follow up as soon as possible, but I understand that you chose not to do so. Without a voicemail or an email record of your call, we had no way of knowing you needed assistance.
I completely understand your frustration, and I’m sorry for any inconvenience this caused. In your review, you mentioned that no help was offered, but please know that we always do our best to assist customers as soon as we're aware of an issue. Had we received a message, we would have provided the same resolution we arranged for this morning—a full replacement on a next-day delivery at no cost.
As a small team with just two phone operators, there are times when our lines are busier than we'd like, which is why we encourage customers to leave a message so we can get back to them as quickly as possible. I also wanted to mention that we only received your email this morning following our response to your Trustpilot review, which was the first opportunity we had to help.
When items are damaged in transit, we always aim to resolve the issue as quickly as possible—typically within 24 hours when stock allows—because providing the best service to our customers is really important to us. We appreciate your feedback on our packaging and look forward to receiving your photos so we can share them with our team and continue to improve.
I hope your replacements arrive safely tomorrow, and if there's anything else I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Best wishes,
Heidi
Good Morning Astrid

Winsor & Newton Acrylic got here fast
I ordered a Winsor & Newton Acrylic Mixing White, 120ml tube. It arrived very promptly and the price was affordable. The packaging could have been better as the outer box was a little damaged, but it didn't really matter. I'd rather that, than having to pay more for the product just for the packaging... Overall I like London Graphic Centre and would definitely do business with them again.
