excellent service, arrived at 1230 and in hive by 1300. well pleased
Absolutely delighted with the follow up service. Buckfast queen arrived by tracked post next day and now installed. Thank you.
She arrived on the 2nd July and I am very satisfied with the quality of my purchase. Due to unforeseen inclement weather and other commitments, I could not introduce the queen until 8 days after arrival. She is now established and laying well. Compliments on your aftersales service. Grateful thanks David
