“The carving set I ordered is of reasonable quality but the accompanying box looks cheap and is very poorly finished. It’s a pity that this aspect of what should be a quality gift is so shoddy.”

“Good product dispatched and arrived very quickly. However we were upset to find that the box had been damaged presumably when the glasses were taken out for engraving. The company seems genuinely concerned. The glasses were as a gift so we wanted a replacement box which they were unable to supply although one assume that they had goods in stock and could have taken a box from there. We were offered a reasonable discount but stil it left a bit of a sour taste to have to give a gift in a damaged box.”

Hi Jefrey, Thank you for your review, I'm very sorry to see that the presentation boxes arrived damaged, I do remember our email thread regarding this. Having checked with our stock manager we unfortunately do not have any spare presentation boxes to offer and offered the partial refund to compensate for this. I can see that this partial refund was accepted and has now been processed. Kind Regards, Jamie Customer Service

“Bought a leather apron for my dad's 60th present. Whilst the quality of the leather is good don't bother getting it engraved. As other reviewes have commented it hardly stands out and the way it appears on the website is misleading. A big shame as its a gifted present.. not worth the price tag.”

Good morning, I'm very sorry to hear this. We would be more than happy to replace this for you and send it direct to the recipient? If you could send some images to customerservice@outdoor365.co.uk then we can show the engravers and see if there was perhaps an error made on the apron you had engraved. Please don't hesitate to get in touch as we are always happy to help! Best wishes, Stacey

“All good overall but not clear understandable site - unable to find opposite text option ( left /right option ) also not clear extra text/costs .”

Helpful Report

Hi Robert, I'm so sorry for your disappointment. There is no left/right option on the site so I'm sorry if there was any confusion there. We have a flat fee for the engraving per product, there are no hidden or extra costs for more text; we would make that clear on the site if that were the case. In future if you'd like to add some extra text or have a query about the engraving we're always happy to help, so do give us a call or drop us an email. Best wishes, Stacey Farrar & Tanner

“Customer service put the phone down when I asked about billing, leather creased at the bottom left corner, and the engraving on the leather is practically invisible”

“Immediately on placing order for 2 personalised wine boxes with wine I amended to exclude wine. This did not happen. Delivery was made and the boxes were wrong. One for Mr Forbes Connor should have been dark red wood BUT both came in light wood. Most unimpressed with first dealings with Farrar & Tanner. Andy Speirs”

“The product is as generally good quality although I wasn't expecting plastic counters. The main fail was the packaging. The outer box was damaged due to the packaging box being too small. Not the worst thing but an unnecessary reason to take the shine off a small indulgence.”

Hi Simon, I'm so sorry to see this. I'd like to fix this for you and have a new box shipped out for you if that's something you'd be interested in? Alternatively I can offer a refund on your shipping fee. We are in the process of upgrading our shipping packaging to avoid this kind of damage happening again. The checkers in the images are plastic, but I will ask the website team to add that information to the description to avoid any disappointment for future purchases. I'd be more than happy for you to get in touch with me directly on stacey@outdoor365.co.uk if there's anything I can do to fix this for you. Kind regards, Stacey Customer Service

“Very good customer service and product was delivered promptly. Slightly disappointed with chess pieces as some wobble over when placing them possibly due to green felt underneath not being placed centrally under all of the pieces.”

“The chess set didn't look like picure at all. Pieces looked different. The soft part inside the storage box is made cheap and quite careless though the set was over 100”

“Placed order on the 5th but ihas not arrived. They are not answering the phone and my emails get an automated response. WHY?? You should not be using Royal mail at this time, as you are letting your customers down. The knives are excellent quality, but customer service poor.”

Hi Robert, I can see your item is now delivered, the postage cost was refunded as well. Unfortunately, everybody seemed to be experiencing delays with postage and we have been overwhelmed with calls. We are working through calls and emails, and we're pleased to see that parcels are getting delivered although I appreciate that they are arriving late. We are up to date with our dispatch, it's a backlog with Royal Mail that is causing the delay to delivery. Glad the parcel is now safely with you. Best wishes, Jude
