While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more
To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Speedy Delivery. Thank you.
The goods arrived on time and we were very pleased with the speedy delivery. The Sellotape securing the packaging had come unstuck at one end which looked suspiciously as though someone had taken a peek inside the box, but the goods inside were all there and undamaged.
