If delivering what I ordered is 'great' then it was 'great'!
I'm asked to say what made my experience 'great'. Seems silly when my 'experience' is to order paper online and it gets delivered. Not rocket science.

Thank you for the feedback, I have looked into purchase and from what I can see on the notes, as soon as the inks were returned, we issued a full refund as agreed.
Please let me know if you need a copy of the evidence of this refund. Some credit card companies can take longer than others to process the refund.
If you have any further questions, please just ask please let us know.
