Delivery took for ever

Delivery took for ever, much longer than expected and too late for the purpose of buying it in the first place so it was useless.
When Fedex arrived, it required a signature - why? Ridiculous for a tiny test post. We were at home but the Fedex didn't wait for us. He delivered it next day and demanded the signature. Fedex App is awful and doesnt allow access to say where to leave a package. I want to return this tiny pot and seek full refund,

Hi, We sincerely apologise for the delays with your delivery; this is not the usual service we aim to provide. We understand how important timely deliveries are and it’s disappointing to see that the service you paid for wasn’t fulfilled.

Your order was despatched on a next-working-day service but unfortunately the bad weather conditions caused unexpected delays with our courier. Regarding the requirement for a signature, we understand your frustration but this service is used to ensure a successful and safe delivery. We will also raise your feedback to the courier to prevent this from happening in the future.

Please contact our customer service team, and we’ll be happy to assist you with offering a refund.

We value your feedback and are actively working with our delivery partners to improve our service. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to serve you better in the future.

Kind regards,
The PaintWell Team

Hi Miriam, We sincerely apologise for the delays with your delivery, this is not the usual service we expect from our couriers, and we are very sorry it has happened.

Your order was despatched Friday 3rd using a next-working-day service. However, tracking showed it was delayed in transit. A delivery attempt was made on Tuesday 5th at 5pm. Unfortunately the bad weather conditions have caused further delays, and the parcel is currently scheduled for delivery on Friday 10th. Please get in touch with our customer service team and we’ll be happy to refund the delivery charge.

We value your feedback and are actively working with our delivery partners to prevent such issues from happening again. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we look forward to serving you better in the future.

Kind regards,
The PaintWell Team

Perfect paint purchase

They had the paint I wanted, on sale price. Delivered 2 days after ordering and very well packed. Awesome. I'd use them again. The only thing I'd suggest people look out for is all my order confirmation and delivery notification emails from them went straight into my junk folder!

I ordered a Graco quick shot airless sprayer which arrived the following day. Excellent service and very efficient. I have a business account with Paintwell but bought this purchase directly for the website. They’re a great company to deal with.
