Hi Keith,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're sorry to read your parcel was delivered at 14:10, seventy minutes after expected.
The parcel was dispatched on a Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed 1pm delivery service and should have been delivered by 1pm. I have forwarded your message to our Customer Care team to look in to further and will contact you once we have concluded our investigation.

Same again
Same again, coins unseparated, dumped in a bag. This after they apologised from my last order. I suggested they rename the condition description from 'NEW' to 'MINTY'. Its fine, I know what I am buying now and thus will not expect 'NEW' coins - cos they will be MINTY!

Hi,
Thank you for your review and we apologise that your coins arrived loose in a bag. Although we offer the choice to add coin capsules to protect your coins, we apologise that the coins you received were not separated and sufficiently protected.
Following your review, I’m glad to confirm that all individual coins will now be packaged separately in individual bags to help protect them in transit.
Customer feedback is incredibly important to us and helps us to make impactful changes to our working practices to ensure a better-quality experience for all customers.
Once again, thank you for your review and we look forward to helping you in future.
Kind regards,
