The 40th anniversary sundial was a last minute purchase for my husband so I did not expect it would arrive in Australia before our anniversary. Was happy that it did only 4 days after. Note for Austra... See more

Anniversary guft…

Purchased a sun dial for 30th wedding anniversary parts missing. Have e mailed 6 times including their website, have told them I’m happy to pay for missing parts. As it stands I have spent £320 on something that we cannot use , really appalling customer service service

I have bought 4 stable name plaques from this company and they are truly beautiful.

I have been trying to order another two to match the others I have for the past month to no avail.

The plaques have disappeared off their website

After numerous emails they contacted me to say they are having problems with their furnace but despite me trying to contact them again to find out if it’s fixed I am again getting no reply

It would be courteous to let me know if you cannot or do not want to fulfill my orders so I can buy elsewhere.

Such a shame as these plaques are beautiful and are so well made

The three stars are for the company’s poor customer service. The plaques themselves I would give 10🌟

Decieving

Conforming object.
But too expensive for what it is.
And taxes are not included.
Finally you pay double price.

I can't recommend this company & their product enough.
I requested a memorial plaque for my late father & was worried it would not arrive on time...
It actually arrived within the week & the quality was outstanding.
The plaque was exactly as I designed & made from solid cast brass. I can see this lasting a very long time.
Highly recommend AAA+++ & Thank you

Golden wedding and a Memorial plaque.

After receiving our beautiful 50 th wedding anniversary sundial as a gift. I knew this is where I needed to find a special plaque for 2 loved ones. I’ve been looking for a few years and haven’t found anything I loved. This plaque is perfect. Customer service was more than excellent. Free delivery on such a heavy piece …I still cannot believe from UK to Australia. And arrived In 7 days. Unbelievable. Fantastic.
The price is amazing. I’ve already recommended you to many here in Aus. Thankyou so much for helping fulfill a memorial plaque tgat I’ve wanted for so long. However. Divine timing as it’s 10 years thus year.
So grateful
