Hi Lesley,                                       6-02-2020

 

We have just safely received the figure and it is just as beautiful as in the photos provided.

I must say the packaging was some of the best we have seen and was excellent at protecting the figure during transport.

Thanks again to everyone there for such a smooth and problem free process.

Best Regards From Germany

Hello Peter,                                                      8/01/2020
 
I know you were very worried about it’s safety in transit so I wanted to let you know that the Pink Lady Float Bowl arrived to me today unharmed. It is in beautiful condition and I really appreciate the care you took in packaging it so well. It has been a pleasure to deal with you. This bowl means more to me than you know and I can not thank you enough.
 
Thank you again,
Steph Oliver.

Hi Peter                    9/08/2019
The clock arrived today, which I’ve unpacked tonight and am very happy to say, arrived in perfect condition!
What an amazing job you organised for the packing.
The clock is lovely and already in its new spot. I’m pretty sure I’ve got it all set up ok, but will give you a call if I have any questions. 
Thanks again and best wishes 
James

Good morning Lesley,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say many thanks for the 1D Penny Monsters enamel sign, which arrived safely today (Friday May 3rd ).

To say I’m pleased with it is the under statement of the year, I’m truly delighted with it!!

Thank you also for such a wonderful job in packing it up so well, ready for its long journey to the UK. That’s greatly appreciated.

Once again a huge thank you.

Its been a real pleasure to deal with you.

My kindest regards to you, and the good people of your fine country.

All the best

Simon (A really happy customer!!)

Hello Peter and Lesley,

Sent 24 Jan 2019..  NSW.


Just letting you know that my desk arrived safe and sound this afternoon. It's more beautiful than I remembered - no wonder I couldn't resist buying it, even though I had nowhere to put it.


I'm truely grateful that you were both so kind as to store this for me over the years without hearing a word from me and then to clean it up as well.


I'm really happy to finally have it with me and I'm going to keep it and enjoy it forever.


best wishes,


Lillian

Dear Peter
 
 
Hopefully you will remember me. I recently purchased your GF clock and last week Stephen Young came and delivered it to me here in Kew. It’s beautiful and sounds amazing. It’s been running like clock work ever since with its Westminster chime sounding perfect. Thanks again.
 
Now to the question. This is the purchase I mentioned to you on the day I bought the clock. I don’t expect you to remember it but I think it was about 2006 when I bought the set from you. I still love it and it’s never been used by me - looks like never used. Don’t suppose you would know anything more about it.
 
Anyway Peter the service you gave me on the day and the very prompt delivery of the clock was truly impressive.
 
Many thanks and kind regards

Dear Peter, Leslie and Julian and staff,

You're staff deserve the "packing prize" !  We arrived home with enough daylight to unpack and put in situ. EVERYTHING SAFE AND SOUND.

So pleased with the urns I have enclosed a  pic, the frame above is water colour on silk done by my grandmother Hope in 1914.

The knight light is steeling the show in the bar, can't wait to get him lit up.


Love
Heather,

Hi Peter

 

Received the pump and signs on Wednesday and I have to say I’m very happy. Your description of my purchase over the phone was bang on and I was very impressed how it was wrapped and protected for shipping over to me in WA.

You definitely have another long term customer

Hi Peter,
 
Received petrol cans today absolutely delighted look great on display.  Thanks for fast delivery.
I noticed on your site item AUTO 427 is this an old listing or is this still available.  I found it once but then I could not find it again.  If its available let me know and how much and also I like item ID A7563 again best price and postage.
Best regards for Christmas

Thank you so much Peter. I am thrilled to be getting this desk. Made my day today when you called to tell me about the Maple & Co stamp on it too! I am a writer in sore need of an inspiring desk. I didn't want to go with a new piece, but something with history and memories etched into it (if these desks could talk!). This desk ticked all my boxes, and will be well loved and cared for. I will keep it for a lifetime and hand it down one day to one of my five young daughters. Thank you for your attention to detail and customer service which was fantastic. I will let you know when it arrives and will post a recommendation for your company. I am sure with your decades of experience and service, you must have many recommendations already.

Thanks again,

Hayley

Hi Peter
 
Just a quick e mail to let you know that the Pair of Sunlight Soap Signs arrived safely today. Thank you again for your help and obviously for the discount. The signs look great, I'm even tempted to keep them for ourselves !!  however business is business ! and we have a restaurant owner/cook who wants to discuss a possible renovation of his home with us soon and these signs could just swing it.
 
Anyway I will no doubt be in touch with you soon to buy some more unusual signs which we are definitely finding useful for the business. Take care and thank you again

Peter,

I’m very glad to be able to report that:

  1. I have now managed to collect the leg from the FastTrack Depot, and
  2. The holes in the leg align perfectly with the bolts.

Thanks very much for your prompt attention to all issues that arose during the delivery etc.

I will look forward to calling in again, next time I am in Victoria.

Kind regards,

Mark

Big thank you for the sign, better than I thought from pictures looking forward to getting many more    Gregg.

Hi Lesley,

Thank you for the information. Doug has already contacted me and is delivering the Fountain tomorrow.

I can’t believe I have only been back working for three days and I almost feel like I have not been away, so many things have cropped up, but that is what pays for my wonderful trips to Antique Shops such as yours.

Please pass on my sincere thanks to you all, as it was so pleasant dealing with such nice and interesting people and we loved your City.

Kind Regards,

Loretta  

Hi Peter,

Regent globe arrived on Thursday safe and sound and fast delivery thank you. 
Look forward to receiving the Esso globe soon as well.

I have been looking for a while for an original Benzol tri-sided glass globe but they seem to be impossible to find.  Would you know of one available anywhere?

I notice you have a after market one on your site Ref AUTO 271 could you let me know the cost and the special delivery that you do for me.

Hi Peter,

Just a brief note to say thank you to you and your team for providing us the opportunity to purchase some wonderful additions to our home. The delivery went as promised and we are extremely happy with our purchases.

The wall units fit well and already the petrol pump has been a great talking point, by the way we gave it a  spot inside the house in the billiard room.

We look forward to our next visit to Castlemaine and experiencing the new "Man Cave".

Kind regards & thanks,

Andrew & Jacki
