HI Mick, Many thanks for the review, we always welcome them. I'm truly sorry we have sent you the incorrect colour on your order, we have misread it and picked up a black instead of a blue. I'll send you the correct colour FOC and please keep the black one you have. It will be next week as we have sold out of the blue colour and will have to order it for you. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, Kevin

“Not impressed. Still hasn't been delivered. No update or message - just an invitation to leave a review! Also, the banner advert for Free delivery over £150 didn't apply because one product was on offer. Small print.”

HI Colin, Many thanks for the review. we always welcome any feedback. I'm truly sorry for the service you have received as its not up to the standard we expect. We have had a nightmare with the delivery from our supplier as the BA you ordered we had sold out last week, we re-ordered and it should have been here Wednesday and it finally arrived this morning (Friday). I will upgrade the delivery to a Saturday service for you, so you can still use for the BH weekend. The free delivery is on orders over £150 even on sale goods, EXCEPT for paddles over 1.50m as the courier triples the cost to us to £22 plus the VAT, and we pay a contribution towards this. It does stat this in the T&C's. The email to leave a review is automated, so apologies you have received this before the goods. Please once again accept my sincere apologies for the delay, the service you have received and any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards Kevin

HI Stacey, Many thanks for your review and I'm truly sorry for the delay in dispacthing your order and any inconvenience caused. I don't think you have been receiving our emails, as we have emailed you 3 times regarding your order, the last time was this morning. Please can you check your spam file? The dryrobe you have ordered is currently unavailable as we sold out and the supplier was showing stock available but when we ordered they came back to say the colour had unfortuately sold out and they had made a stock error. I have offered you alternatives or a full refund. Please can you contact us to let us know what you would like to do. Once again please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, Kevin

“Came home from work today, to see this lying on my top step, soaking. I had to literally pour water out it. spray deck, cockpit cover & pogies, coming to 170 quid. Who in gods name thinks that's an acceptable way to wrap & post something?? Do yourself a favour & buy from somewhere else. Disgraceful. Will definitely not be recommending to others.”

HI Helen, Many thanks for the review. I'm truly sorry about this, we have never had this happen before, the goods were fully wrapped and protected when they left us. It looks like the packaging has got damaged/ ripped in transit and the courier has re-wrapped the parcel so the goods didn't get lost. We will review the way we send larger orders and make sure they go in cardboard boxes. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, Kevin

Hi Thank you for your review and many apologies for the delay. We sent the parcel on 5th January and was due to be delivered yesterday. We sent the goods for delivery within the 3 day time frame but due to circumstances beyond our control the courier couldn't deliver the goods yesterday and are due to be delivered today. Please accept our sincere apologies for the 24hr delay. Kind Regards Jess

Hi Kelly I am really sorry you are yet to receive your purchase. We were stock taking last week and couldn't dispatch any orders, we ordered it from our supplier on Monday and was hoping it would have arrived yesterday to dispatch. It arrived at 5pm after our post was collected, we have dispatched it off this morning. Please accept my sincere apologies for the delay. Kind Regards Jess

“7 days to get an item that was on a 48 hour service.... Poor show... Won't be using again”

HI Many thanks for your review. We always welcome feedback. I just wanted to give a little more information for the delay. You ordered the paddle at 12.30am on a Friday Morning, I emailed you to apologise as due to the storm on Friday our courier (Parcelforce) had cancelled our collection for that day for safety reasons. Parcelforce don't collect goods on a Saturday or Sunday and as the shop is closed on Monday's we would dispatch on Tuesday for delivery Thursday. As mentioned in the email, that due to the length of the paddle we can only ship on a 48hr service. Which you duly noted was fine. Please note the delay was out of our control as delivery is the only part of the process we can't control ourselves as we have to rely on a 3rd party. Please accept my sincere apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, Kevin

HI Michaella, Many thanks for your review any many many apologies for the slight delay in dispatching your item. We had sold out of the 12lt so we had to order the item. The bag has been ordered, and should have arrived on Thursday, but unfortunately the supplier couldn't dispatch as the warehouse had an outbreak of Covid and they had to self-isolate for last week. The bag is being dispatched on Monday and should be with us on Tuesday. We will post as soon as it arrives. Please once again accept my sincere apologies for the delay and any inconvenience this may have caused. Best regards, Kevin

“Ordered and paid over a week ago for a product written as in stock. Can see online that it has not been dispatched. An email I wrote requesting clarification went unanswered. If there’s a problem with the order then fair enough, but the least you can do is contact me. Will now have to turn to credit card company to request a refund.”

HI Rachel, Many thanks for your review, I'm truly sorry for the service you have received and I apologise for not responding to your email I have just found it in the spam file. We sold put of the helmet you ordered and am waiting for the replacement to arrive, I didn't realise the supplier was away last week. They have sent the helmet to us today and should be with us tomorrow or Thursday. As you have said you will contact the card company for a refund, I presume you no longer require the helmet. I will cancel the order and fully refund your card. It may take a day to two to show on your account. Please accept my sincere apologies once again. Best regards, Kevin

“Happy with product delivered (150ml water bladder), but I was also charged for a ‘saved basket’ (250ml water bladder, on 5 May) which never materialised into a delivery at all.”

HI, Many thanks for your review, I have spent most of the morning on the phone to the bank to resolve the problem and due to technical glitch (only way they could describe it) Monso will be crediting your account within the next 48hrs, as the monies have never been credited to us. I have tried to call to discuss. As a goodwill gesture for all the inconvenience and hassle we have shipped the 250ml bladder to you today. Please once again accept our sincere apologies.

Hi Deborah, HYN, Many thanks for your review, I'm sorry for the slight delay in you receiving your goods. You ordered the goods on 4.09pm on the 31/12, we couldn't post till the 4th Jan at the earliest due to the New Year and we were closed on the 4th. So we posted the goods yesterday first class post so fingers crossed you should receive in the next couple of days. Please accept my sincere apologies once again for the slight delay.

Hi Brenda, Many thanks for your review, I'm really sorry you have received your item, the goods were posted out first class on Tuesday 15th December, I know the post office is struggling with the sheer amount of post due to the Pandemic and time of year, but we do sincerely apologise for the delay. I would expect you to receive tomorrow or Saturday at the latest. If it doesn't arrive please let me know. The review emails are automated by our site provider, so we can't change when these are sent out which is normally 5 days after purchase. I do apologise once again for the delay in you receiving your item. Please let me know if i can help with anything further. Best regards, Kevin
