Delivers on time, undamaged but Yodle literally dumped the envelope on the floor in a public area below my post box, which is more than large enough to take the magazine. Not impressed

A good company and fast delivery of item, my only issue would be the packaging, please package to protect the products as when it gets posted the corner no doubt hits the floor first 😩 a small issue but when you want something in mint condition for your collection a damaged corner is quite annoying

Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your football programmes arrived with bent corners and understand how important condition is for collectors.

We do use protective book wraps and boxes depending on the size of the order and packaging availability, and we’re sorry to hear that your item did not arrive in the condition expected.

Scam with Spam?

I paid but nothing arrived, contacted them, they ignored me, just kept bombarding me with spam. They even claim the shipment is tracked but don't send you shipping / tracking details.

If anyone is actually them and happy can you just confirm it is not a scam?
Thanks

Chelsea v Man City FA Cup Final programmes

Ordered two FA Cup Final programmes as didn’t want to carry around all day at Wembley & travelling. £12 each plus £5.49 p@p

They’ve arrived, delivered in a thin clear poly bag, you don’t need me to tell you the condition of the programmes, common sense yeah right, they are fit only for the charity shop, waste of money.

Single copy, easy and quick delivery

Able to order a single copy of a magazine I wanted but had left too late to find in a shop, without having to take out a subscription. Reasonable delivery charge and arrived quickly. Very happy with service, would use again.
