Always a 5* service with GLS
Always a 5* service with GLS. Consistent communication and prompt, exact delivery. Always recommend and always my first port of call for book and stationery supplies.
One request, please overhaul fadeless paper classroom display backing supplies. Schools tend to be using more neutral tones (wallpaper like).

broken boxes and missing items
Having had some delivery concerns on a recent big order, I was pleased to speak to Claire.
Claire dealt with my query with empathy and went on to resolve my concerns and also replaced my missing items swiftly and efficiently.
This has restored by confidence in making future orders.

For some reason the delivery was split
Thanks to GLS for contacting me. It seems the problem was with the delivery company. GLS have promised to look into the issue.
For some reason the delivery was split. We received 10 in one delivery and then the other 2 two days later.
Invoice for items was received before any of the items were!

I make the order through the web-service so do not need to do a PO. All I need to do is change the codes accordingly and authorise it. Delivery is normally made within a couple of days.
