A2 12 x Child Face Face Painting Practice Board (Portrait) by Sally-Ann Lynch

Hi Mallory, Thank you for listening to my response on your previous review, regarding shipping and packaging.

As explained previously, we have been sending out these size boards in a tube since we created this product back in 2015. We are soon celebrating 10 years of them being available for our industry.

We have sent thousands and thousands out and they have all been sent in tubes, for their protection. This is most definitely the best way to ship these items. All you need to do, is roll them up in the opposite direction, put them back in the tube and then release them. They should then sit flat for their desired purpose.

When we wholesale these items, and still do in some places. Sadly, they would ship them very differently. We would see complaints, and reviews that the boards were damaged, because care was not taken in packaging them. Also, the tubes are not a cheap product, and hence why people won't use them to ship to their customers. We do not factor the cost of these back to our customers.

Also, I know you mentioned shipping, and unfortunately again there is nothing we can do about this as this is the charges made by our Royal Mail. We fact lose quite a bit on each transaction, from our international customers. These are for transaction charges and also currency exchange charges. This is because we value each and everyone of our customers. No matter how big or small your order is.

Our international customers, get the chance to see shipping costs at checkout before making their final purchase.

With our loyal customers, Who make further purchases, Often see little freebies in their parcels. This is our way of showing our appreciation.

There is also a prize draw due at the end of April, and everybody who has made purchased this year will go into the prize drawer. This includes yourself, So you may even win a fantastic box of goodies.

I really appreciate, you amending your review, as I know you said you loved the product which is what counts.

When used correctly and washed correctly, this should last you many many years.

We love the fact that this is a low carbon footprint item.

Best wishes
Sally

Hi there, I have to be honest and say I am very disappointed with your 3 stars review.

We have been sending out our larger boards in tubes since 2015. Never, has anyone complained about this. Did you know, that this is the safest way to transport these goods.

All you simply have to do, is take it out of the tube, and roll at the opposite way. Put back in the tube for say half an hour or so, and the board would be flat. No need for stretching get out, as you put.

As for the price for shipping, this is out of our control. All prices are governed by our Royal mail. We actually lose quite a bit of profit shipping to overseas customers, because we allow you to checkout in your own currency. This cost us in extra charges of around 10% with some car transactions.

As you say, you love the product, but have judged us on shipping.

We also try our best to help our international customers with offering discount and also bundle offers and finally we even with some of our loyal customers putting free products.

Giving us three stars, as a small business can really impact on our ratings and really put people off. So I can imagine you can see why I am disappointed.

Had you message me, I would've been more than happy to help you and advise you on how to get the board flat.

Best wishes Sally
