This is a company that dispatches from China
This is a company that dispatches from Mainland China. Very slow delivery (allow at least a month). Don’t answer customer service queries. Sadly this was ordered with a 4 week lead time for Christmas and still missed the day. The worst was the deceptive email we received after waiting 3 weeks for an update, apologising for the delay and inferring that their ‘little family business’ was inundated with orders but they would have all orders packed and out for Christmas, with a discount code for further purchases as an apology. Complete lie - just marketing to get follow up orders. Unethical, deceptive and untrustworthy

Hi Scott, We’re really sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused by the delay and lack of communication. We completely understand why you feel disappointed, especially with your order intended for Christmas. We’re a small family-run business, and during that period we had an unexpected increase in orders, which led to longer processing times and delays in customer support. Unfortunately, your order was affected by this. We also understand your concerns regarding the email updates and discount code, and we’re truly sorry that this came across in a way that felt misleading. That was never our intention. We appreciate your feedback and are genuinely sorry we did not meet your expectations. If you would like us to look into your order further, please email us and we will assist you directly. Kind regards, MagnetChess
