Great service
I’ve purchased more than one order from Cowling and Wilcox and can’t fault them. They’re one of the only places I’ve been able to find individual colour pencils of the type I wanted and have always delivered quickly and securely with the pencils packaged well rather than sent loose. I’ve also ordered soft pastels with an equally smooth delivery.
Will definitely place further orders in the future.
Thank you

I had great service from Luke in the Canterbury shop. He was so nice and helpful on the phone that I drove straight over (35mins) to buy very many canvases in the sale.. he was so enthusiastic and it matched my excitement of getting such a good sale. He also helped me get them in the car.

Expert art advice/guidance from Jack
St George's St, Canterbury branch is my go-to art shop because I always receive specific help in choosing the correct art equipment for me. There is no up-selling just to get a sale. Today I was served by Jack who gave me such a clear explanation about how a 'master study' is a useful teaching strategy. You can't look that up yourself if you don't know the term. Excellent!

Terrible service
Terrible service, placed an order 9 days ago and still not received, called on day 5 as they advise and was promised it would be delivered next business working day, another 4 days later and still not received. Can now only get to an answer phone and nobody calls back. Website won’t allow me to log back in and no way of tracking. If I ever get a call back I will be requesting a refund and will not use this company again. Shame as I was looking for a new reliable supplier for my business after being let down by another, it’s safe to say I haven’t found one!.

Thank you for tking the time to review us. I'm so sorry we've let you down so badly on this occasion. I can assure you w're normally very good at what we do but we've had a bit of a perfect storm recently with sickness and a huge spike in sales. So, unusually, we're some what behind in sending out orders. However, we're now catching up as we've brought in new people temporarily to clear the backlog. Our customer service, however, is very attentive so I'm surprised you're having issues with phonecalls and responses. Can you please send me your Order Number so we can expedite your order for you. Please either reply to this message or contact us directly at admin@cowlings.com or 01303 290550. Once again, I'm so sorry for this temporary issue and I can assure you normally we're very good at what we do. Kind regards, Guy.
Truly incredible customer service
Megan was so helpful and patient with me as I struggled to build an easel I had purchased online. They couldn't have been more attentive and conscientious. Really exceptional customer service - thank you so much! :)

Unreliable long delivery better off going somewhere else if your reading this dont even bother. Been 4 days and they haven’t even dispatched it. Walk into a art store or go to another actual reliable art supplier online do not recommend to anyone. First time buying from here and never again

We do apologise that this order did not leave us as promptly as we would have liked! It's certainly not our intention to delay orders being dispatched or leave any customers with a negative experience, especially on their first order with ourselves. We do advise at the checkout stage to allow 2-5 working days however, we would always prefer to dispatch orders as promptly as possible.
I can see that your order was dispatched today on a tracked 24 service with Royal Mail. If you did need any updates on this please do contact our team on admin@cowlings.com and they'll be happy to help.
We do hope you order from us again in future so that we can change your mind about our company and the service we can offer.

As a family we’re quite into art and letting our creative sides out. Summer was so helpful in finding out what we each were looking for and matching us up with some great products. She provided some great advice too. Both she and the other staff member on the shop floor were really helpful and friendly. Thank you, Summer!

Customer care
I ordered a canvas 10 m x 1.2m, and this one is nice I think. I haven't got to paint on it yet, but it stretched nice.It is worth to say some canvas doesn't stretch nice! Ok,there was some factory lines that go away with a bit of water, no problem that.
I tested the strength of the 10oz canvas by trying to rip it both directions at the corner of one end, seems pretty tough. It also isn't coarse, which I like for my work.
The best part of the order is the customer care for me.
The courier took my canvas someplace where it shouldn't have been causing me to get it late, I paid for a quick service.
That was reimbursed with no fuss, and the lady I was dealing with got on to the courier to make sure it was delivered to a secure place not included on the list of places to put it incase of no one home situation.
The item really well wrapped in paper and bubble wrap, plus the canvas came in a plastic layer too. Friendly and professional customer service. Nice to find people who genuinely care.
Really well done.
For me, this gets 5 star across the board for all aspects.

Hi Vernon,
Thank you for your feedback!
I have checked your tracking and can see there was a delay on this which was fed back to the couriers and I'm glad our Customer Service Advisor Megan was able to help resolve this for you. This is certainly the feedback we like to hear regarding Customer Care!
With regards to the canvas roll, we really hope you enjoy using this for all your upcoming projects.
Should you ever need a future order or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Brilliant service
Fantastic service from this company. I was dealing with a lady called Megan Warren. She went above and beyond in helping me get an item they had out of stock, notifying me of every step of the process via email. Brilliant customer service, and so helpful. I will be using these again in the future that's for sure!
P.s if the boss is reading this, Megan is a absolute credit to your company. She deserves a Christmas bonus!
