Delivery Service Poor (arrived damaged but usable)

1st order, all went well until delivered by DPD where driver gave me the 'This way Up' box upside down! and an obviously battered about product (box was damaged). On opening, top and bottom of the tin were bulging due to a deep dent on both sides of the bottom rim (corresponding to damage on box). Luckily, Paint Shed had sealed the lid on really well with reinforced tape else my £90 plus tin of paint would have split open. Price, web, comms and ordering system went well but let down by very poor/careless delivery company which was a shame

Hello Dave,

We are sorry to hear that your order arrived with damage to the box and dents/bulges to the tin.

While it sounds like our packaging has protected against leaking or further damage, we completely understand how disappointing it is to receive an item in this condition.

We would like the opportunity to look into this for you, as it appears we haven’t yet been contacted directly about the issue. A member of our team will be reaching out shortly to gather a bit more information so we can investigate with our courier.

We hope to hear back from you soon.

Kind Regards,
The Paint Shed

Great So Far!

I’ve not used the paint yet, but the customer service, ordering and delivery experience has been great so far. Also the price was cheaper than Farrow & Ball’s own website.
