Excellent quality and service

I have now ordered three sets of two tumblers for three different people and I have had a set bought for me. I think they are of excellent quality and very good value for money. Delivery was made in good time and the tumblers were extremely well packaged.

(Although I moved away from Westcliff in 1967 I have been back once, sadly for a funeral, nut I remember it well. My first wife lived with her mother over what was then the National Provincial Bank on junction of Hamlet Court Court and Canewden Road).

Havens provided an efficient and professional service coupled with old-school charm.

The products I ordered were on a competitive price offer and packed securely with care. The delivery courier used was fast and reliable.

Good service

Product arrived as ordered and prettily gift wrapped. Good communication via email that product was out of stock. I was not aware product not available in store when I ordered it and it only just arrived in time weeks later as bought for a birthday present.

The product ordered arrived very well packed, so important for tableware! Although there was a delay in availability, I was kept informed of progress and my order arrived sooner than I expected. Good service on both occasions I have used Havens service.

Havens offer excellent products and service.

Havens offer an excellent range of high quality products. Some time ago I ordered a product which was out of stock. The item was also out of stock at the manufacturer, but was expected to be produced in the near future, within a couple of months. I was informed of this and asked if I would still like to place my order. A few weeks later I was informed the product was back in stock, and did I wish to go ahead with the order. I did want to go ahead, but I had a problem as I was going to be away for a few days. I asked if the item could be delivered on a certain day some time in the future and this was agreed. The item came as agreed, well packaged and in perfect condition. I have made several purchases from Havens in the past and have always been delighted with the high quality of their products and excellent service.
