Efficient and Exceptional Customer Service

Reviewed on 2020-06-26T12:12:18

I ordered a couple of back issues - these were dealt with by the Tee Tree Group. Exceptional customer service and initiative shown by these people.I had ordered a duplicate so they sorted that out for me then contacted me to offer me an alternative to an issue that had sold out and they apologised for this too. Lovely people to deal with and prompt delivery. Would highly recommend.
