Excellent product
Excellent product, I bought a small browser.
Arrived in a battered box which the Evri driver had specially checked to make sure the contents were not damaged. He said the warehouse throw the packages about.
Not sure I'd order anything again due to the packaging being damaged.

Reasonable prices but can sometimes get items cheaper on Amazon. Good selection of materials and free postage for members. If I order by phone the staff are helpful and polite. I enjoy the Paint and Create magazine.
