Hi

Thanks for your feedback. We’re pleased to hear your order arrived quickly and on time.

We’re sorry to hear the products didn’t meet your expectations. We always want customers to be happy with the quality of their order, so it’s disappointing to hear this.

This is the first time we’ve been made aware of any concerns with your order. If you’d be happy to share a little more detail with our support team, we’d love the chance to look into it further and help where we can.

Kind regards,

John

Happy with the pens but…

Happy with the pens. The delivery and communication was not good though - I had to check through to the tracking to see when they might arrive and then to find out that they had been delivered to a neighbour. No email/message/note through the door - nothing.

*Edit: as demonstrated here with this response to my review, communication from Hotline itself (delivery excepted) was really good. Hopefully the courier used can up their standards. Many thanks for your reply, John!

Hi Lucy,

Thanks for your review and for your order. We’re really pleased to hear you’re happy with your branded pens.

We’re sorry the courier did not leave a calling card. Your order was dispatched earlier than expected, which is always what we aim for, and tracking was available throughout via our online portal, but we completely understand how frustrating it is when a parcel is left with a neighbour without any notification.

We appreciate the feedback and will pass this on to the delivery team, as we know clear communication during delivery is important.

Thanks again for choosing Hotline and we hope to help again in the future.

Thanks

Thanks for your review, James.

Great to hear the repeat order process was smooth and that communication was easy. We aim to keep everything straightforward, especially for returning customers.

We’re sorry to hear the font size wasn’t quite as expected on this run. As this hadn’t been raised with us before, we’d be happy to look into it further for you. Alternatively, for future orders we can adjust the artwork to increase the text size and better match your previous design.

Thanks again for your continued orders, we really appreciate it.
