I love the set and would have given 5 stars for that. My order was also processed and set out to delivery the same day, which is excellent service. But then the DHL delivery was delayed because its truck broke down. That in fact delayed it three further days (they don’t deliver on a weekend and it was a Monday bank holiday). Plus, I wasn’t advised by DHL of the delay until after 8pm of the day I was expecting it — which meant I had waited in all day for it, not going out in case I missed them. So, a great job by the vendors, and a very poor job from DHL. Vans break down; it happens. But in that case I should have been advised immediately and the delivery should have come the very next day, even though a weekend, to make up for the inconvenience.

Michael,
Apologies for the inconvenience, but as you say, it was out of our hands at that point. We aim for the highest possible customer service and will take this up with DHL directly.
