We ordered a pair of curtain rods from Pole Design. After a slight delay which made me feel that they had forgotten to dispatch the parcel until I sent an email query asking where it was, the rods arrived in a very well-packaged condition, although I noted that the package was supposed to have been signed-for on delivery by their chosen courier company. In fact, we were out when the courier attempted delivery, so the driver signed my name on the paperwork as having taken delivery, and then leaned over the locked side-gate to leave the package leaning against the gate in the pouring rain. Fortunately, it was wrapped in plastic. The poles were exactly as described, and fitted very easily.
