Smashing

Ordered quite a few items and very pleased with the lot of them. Would recommend others to go here and items arrived in very safe packaging.

I've had my amber for a couple of months now and I've had time to preform microscopic tests I still see no signs of their amber being fake it's hard to tell but the amber flow lines don't lie its hard to fake that even with uv light I only wish I lived in the uk so i could take advantage of those local shipping deals.

I have still not received my specimen…

I have still not received my specimen however i am just amazed by the service for providing such items for sale for admirers.just out of curiosity, Do you use carbon dating or any other techniques that 100% prove the authenticity?

Overall. Hats off to fossils UK for showing passion and accessibility for such amazing items, i am certain all the products are completely authentic since site is handled by professional with perfect credentials.after reading about the history of fossils uk and looking at all their items I would recommend buyers to use fossils uk every time. Great service, great products and great prices!

I am very sorry you felt so outraged by the prices you had to leave this review. We try to keep our prices down and competatively priced with other sellers, but alas the wholesale prices are rising quite high at the moment. So If you know where we can obtain these at lower wholesale prices then we would love to know. But it seems we have alot of customers that are happy with our prices because they know the work involved in obtaining them for the shop.

Happy Trilobite purchase

I ordered my first Trilobite after being inspired by Richard Fortey's book Trilobite! and chose a Phacops from Ohio, due to the extraordinary sophistication of their eyes (also most of the fakes seem to originate from Morocco).

I am happy with my purchase as it is exactly as described (and shown in the photos). It took 10 days to arrive but that is down to Royal Mail and was posted within a day or placing the order.

I have no reason to doubt they are dealers in genuine fossils and will definitely check them out again when making my next purchase

I only recommend buying when you get the exact specimen pictured

I have bought 4 items in total. In 2 cases I was getting the exact specimen pictured, and in the other 2 cases, which I bought together in one transaction, I was getting a specimen which was promised to be of equal or higher quality to the one pictured.

In the first 2 cases, I was very happy with the fossils. In the other 2, I was not satisfied that they were of equal or higher quality to the ones pictured. Hoever, they were too low value to bother with returning/getting a replacement so I did not test their customer service.

Also, in 2 of the 4 labels the species name is mis-spelt, which is a bit of a shame and quite a high rate of mis-spelling.

thank you for your review. In each case you could have contacted me for a replacement item if you were not happy.
I am sorry if any labels were misspelt as my dyslexia sometimes misses some spelling mistakes.
