The coaster is a bit smaller than I expected and I would have liked the engraving to be larger as it’s small type.

Ordered a set of engraved gifts to be delivered in time for a wedding to give my ushers. Order didn't turn up and no outreach from the company at all. The day after my wedding I got a call saying that they needed to verify I had placed the order because some 3rd-party database they use had tagged my address, email and phone number as likely to be fraudulent. I have never encountered any issue with any company ordering to my address, and I wasn't even asked to provide any proof of anything on the phone, so if it was a dodgy order that would be terrible security! Anyway, that was the first and last time I'll order from these folks - can't rely on them clearly.

Hi. I received my parcel and it was damaged so I had to send it back. It is a Christmas present for my partner so I really hope I get the exchange I asked for before Christmas seeing as the damaged parcel was not my fault. One this has taken place I will of course be happy to write a review. Many thanks. Tash Castle.

Hi Lesley, the item was missing in transit. We did offer to upgrade your product to a different one, however you chose a full refund which was processed instantly. Many thanks.

Your response time over email is too slow - I didn't receive a reply about my tracking information before AFTER I had received my package / order. (Unacceptable) Regarding the package itself; the lable on the bottle was damaged when I recieved it, and your so-called "Premium box" feels and looks cheap. Lastly your shipping methods are WAAAAAY too slow, the fact the your expedited shipping cannot even guarantee a weeks delivery, is just terrible. I think you should find a different company to handle your international shipping. I really wanted to give you a good review, but I am really disappointed with my experience. And it's not just Farrar & Tanner, it was the same experience with www.multi-tool-store.co.uk....just seems like it will be the same experience at any place related to Outdoor365. I have given you this feedback before, going as far back as last year, and it seems like you have done NOTHING to improve...well anything really...so it is clearly a management issue.

Dear Morten, I’m so sorry you were not able to give us a good review and feel disappointed in our service. With regard to delivery internationally it’s a balance between keeping both the cost of delivery and time it takes to deliver acceptable, we could deliver a little quicker using an expedited service but due the weight of some items, the cost becomes prohibitive. Please be assured that we are now looking into alternatives for international delivery. We were slow responding to your email as it was a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK but I was pleased to read that your order arrived on 4th before we responded, which actually is within expected delivery times as your order was placed on 29 May and shipped on 30 May, arriving shortly after. I’m really sorry you didn’t like the premium wine gift box. I’ll contact you by email to see if there’s anything we can do to rectify this. We’ve recently moved from having a silk lining in the box in favour of more eco friendly packaging and we now use straw to pack the wine rather than bubble wrap, perhaps along with transit this has led to damage on the label – the packaging material is fairly new to us and whilst we don’t seem to have had any problems, we haven’t yet shipped many internationally. Please do look out for my email and I hope we can persuade you to give us another chance. Best wishes, Jude Farrar & Tanner Customer Services

It took them a week to deliver the item I had ordered and paid extra postage to be delivered within 1 to 3 days. I did get a refund of the postage and even the day they said they will deliver was a false promise.

Hi Jasvinder, As this was an alcohol product you ordered , we could not processes the order before making sure that you were over 18 which has been explained to you in the email. I am sorry that this got delayed due to not having the information but I hope you understand that as responsible retailers we are required by law to follow a strict age verification process when selling bladed/alcohol products. We do apologise for the inconvenience this might have caused. Kind Regards, Sabina

The watch I bought seems to be of good quality and the delivery was absolutely on time. Unfortunately the ordered engravement seems to get lost during the order process (technical problem with the online shop?). Now I have a watch without engravement which should have been a gift, and I have to send it back on my own costs to get the engravement done for an extra fee.

I tried to buy a Backgammon board to take with me to Thailand for my son's Christmas present but I had to return it as the quality of the fittings on the box- hinges and fastening were very very shoddy, poor and cheap compared to the wood of the box. There wasn't time for a replacement and I didn't trust it would be any better. I will not be using you again.

I purchased this item (an engraved backgammon set) as a wedding gift for my sister. The only positive thing I can say about the order is that the engraving was as I had hoped for. However, my order arrived both damaged and covered in dust and dirt - presumably from the engraving process? Having spent over £160 on a wedding gift, I didn't expect to have to give it a thorough cleaning. Regardless, as the inner settings of the backgammon board were also damaged, I have returned the item and though the Royal Mail tracking indicates that it arrived back with the seller 4 days ago, I have yet to receive the refund I requested. Exceedingly disappointed with the service and hard image that I would contemplate buying from Farrar & Tanner again.

I went to collect my parcel from Fulham Delivery Office and found that the handle of the Sabatier cast iron frying pan had broken off entirely - presumably in transit and I assume that it was not packaged securely. I have returned the frying pan to Farrar & Tanner at a considerable cost to myself and I am hoping that that money will be refunded to me. I await results with interest.

I purchased a champagne bath for a wedding present which arrived in a scratched, bashed and marked box. I asked for it to be wrapped too, but I had to take the wrapping off as it was poorly wrapped. Luckily I did take the wrapping off, otherwise I would not have seen the presentation box. I then requested a new box, but this arrived in a similarly bashed condition. They now do not have anymore boxes, so I am left with no box for the wedding present. Although they were apologetic, that didn't sort out my problem so I now have a champagne bath without a box, and having spent hours on the internet looking for one of similar size I have failed! Not impressed

Hi Claire, firstly apologies that we werent able to resolve the box issue you had on the champagne bath, despite sending out a replacement which also arrived damaged. We are looking into why this happened and sourcing new boxes to transport larger goods like this. Thanks Matt

I was horrified when receiving my order to find that the box was terribly made . The latch was hanging off with a screw missing , all of the screws were loose and the lid didn’t even line up with the box when closed . I have attempted to email the company with supporting images and had my emails returned every time as it seems their email system can’t handle anything with an image attached ! I will most definitely not be using this company again
