Closed for some time around the holidays, but they are a small business. A little patience was worth it & the lengths of twine arrived swiftly after the "returning on" date. Tidy package, no damage, well handled.
Well packed good product have not seen these in my garden centre thanks.
Easy ordering process and very prompt delivery.

Very good company to order from.
Ordered a variety of gardeners accessories, all arrived as described. The nifty string cutter that you wear like a ring is a great idea.

Thank you Mrs Eastwood for your kind review. It is appreciated.
The string cutter is a product that has found a unique place in our hearts as it was my wife's idea to add it to the product range and I joked about it. But they are really handy and every time we sell one my wife likes to shout it across the warehouse to remind me of my stupidity.
Kind Regards

Nice colours and good price.
Plant labels arrived quickly and are as described. It makes a change to have different colours.

Lightning fast delivery, high quality products
One of the best experiences I have had ordering from a small independent company during covid. Placed an order in the afternoon and it arrived at lunch time the NEXT DAY. I was honestly blown away. I ordered plastic plant labels and twine and while the prices are bargain-basement level the quality is top notch!

Thank you so much for the positive review Sadie, it is really appreciated.
It is a huge shame now that you have to go through the process of paying duty on the goods in the Republic of Ireland especially when you are only a short distance over the border from Northern Ireland.
In answer to your question, shipments to Northern Ireland do not have to pay Duty, but they do have to pay VAT at the point of purchase (so essentially what you were doing before we left the EU).
