My order took 2 weeks to arrive and one…
My order took 2 weeks to arrive and one of the items was in poor condition, the parcel was next day delivery and the tracking just said delayed for a week and a half. I did contact the company and they apologised for shipping and offered to refund or replace the damaged item, due to no stock of the item I accepted the refund offer. Happy with customer service but I wish I didn't need to contact in the first place.

Thank you for your feedback!
I am sorry to hear that your order took so long to arrive and that you had to chase this delivery with our team. In an ideal world we agree that you shouldn't need to chase your delivery however, there are occasions where the couriers do not inform us of delayed parcels for which we do sincerely apologise.
I am glad to hear that your damaged item got resolved and I know the Customer Service Advisor you spoke with fed this back to the couriers as well with regards to both the delay and damage done in transit.
We do hope you order from us again and if so, we will do our best to get your goods dispatched and with you in a quicker timeframe!
Kind regards

With regards to the product(s) we did not have that you needed, can I ask what these are? I just wanted to check if this is something we'll be stocking soon or perhaps have available online!
Many thanks,

They hide negative product reviews
I had a fairly average 3 star experience with Cowling and Wilcox. But it undermined my trust in the website when I had a product review declined simply because it compared the product to a competitors.
I went out of my way to be fair and balanced, and took the time to be specific. But C&W offered a clearly inferior quality product at a worse price. Preventing customers from sharing this feedback to protect your business is enough for me to permanently shop elsewhere.
Edit: Thanks for the reply. But to clarify, I didn't mention that Jackson's had a superior product for a lower cost "to make you look bad", but to provide the would-be buyer with more insight into what they're buying. It's the quality of the product that makes you look bad, not my review. Likewise, it's the product you'll need to improve if you want positive reviews, rather than just hiding the negative ones (hence the distrust).

I responded to you and thanked you for your feedback and would use your advice to improve our offering. Our Review Provider (in fact all Review Providers including Trustpilot) take a very dim view of customers comparing us to competitors in a negative manner. They simply won't allow these Reviews so they flagged it and cancelled it. To be honest, I think this is a fair policy as mentioning competitors to make us look bad is not really equitable, is it? Kind regards, Guy.

Very poor quality linolium blocks
Very poor quality linoleum blocks. They are advertised as soft and easy to carve but I find them harder than normal lino. They arrived unwrapped and stale. I was given a return label but I need to pay the shipping price in order to return them. I wouldn't recommend purchasing lino from this store.
The Lino that is described as ‘heavy’ also is said to be ‘soft and easy to carve’ in the description. Therefore, I did not consider ‘heavy’ to mean hard. Also the Lino should be covered by plastic when stored or delivered in order to guarantee customers are receiving fresh quality Lino.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have checked your order and spoken with my team and can confirm that you Lino you ordered was our heavier Lino option titled as Heavy Lino Blocks, this is why they feel harder then previous Lino's you've used.
They are listed online as soft and carvable as tools are able to carve them however, they are still a heavier option and we do apologise if this was misleading in anyway.
If you did want lino which is a bit softer for future then we do have some other options which we'd be more than happy to send links for or discuss over the phone.
With regards to your return, we are happy to have these back for a refund if they're not suitable for you however, the reason that the postage is not being covered from our side is that these are not faulty/damaged.
I also wanted to mention that the lino is not classed as stale however, the environment they're stored in can affect their hardness and that's why my colleague advised that running these under a hot tap could help with carving our your desired pattern if you wanted to give them another go.
If you did need any other assistance, please let the team know on admin@cowlings.com or 01303 290550 and we'll be happy to help.
Kind regards

Canterbury Kent Cowling& Wilcox…
Entered the Canterbury Cowling& Wilcox branch. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly. They gave the customer lots of time to browse around the store.
Supplies were displayed neatly which allowed the customer to navigate easily through different items on display.
Each section of the store was organised therefore it was easy to find the item .
Lee was extremely helpful and supportive with questions and was able to supply alternatives.

Cowling and Wilcox employ lovely staff
Cowling and Wilcox employ lovely and knowledgeable staff, who paint and draw themselves. I have had experience of different staff on different occasions and every time they go out of their way to try to find the best product for any particular project. Even Lily in Canterbury in her second week was super helpful and found the exact white bullet-tipped pen that I needed when I didn‘t know how to describe it properly. Thanks!

I cannot say enough about this team in Canterbury and especially Janey the manager there. Their knowledge and help is beyond 5 stars. Janey went above and beyond to help me with a courier problem with an online order and as soon as I explained I was struggling receiving it and getting answers she took the problem over and sorted it all out for me to pick up in store. Al the staff are polite friendly and helpful. I really enjoy popping in for my next project and can have a laugh with them. My favourite shop 🥰

I popped into the Canterbury branch to get some fine point acrylic pens. While there two other ladies were after the same thing.
The lady who served us was Janey. She gave us her full attention, listened carefully to our requirements and let us try the products.
Eventually we became too much so she asked her colleague Luke Lloyd to look after me. He too was great. New but very helpful and willing to learn about the products. I ended up buying much more that I'd intended.
Both were super helpful.
I love that store.
