I visited the Canterbury store and was served by Kit. The whole experience was definitely 5 star. Kit was helpful, and overwhelmingly enthusiastic and encouraging. The products in the sale were excellent and I went back the next day to buy some more. A great team of assistants and full marks to Kit for making it a joy to shop there. Many thanks.

Not hugely impressed……
Not hugely impressed
The 2 * refers simply to the polite response when I called b4 ordering to confirm items required were in stock but since then it’s been fairly negative!
The email query I made on Friday 28th August remains unresponded despite it being 3rd sept today!
In the absence of a reply but based on a call I made to C&W on Tuesday 1st I placed an order that morning for several items, created an account and made the payment.
Today, 3days on, the order status remains ‘new order’ with little sign of any activity.
It’s not acceptable to use summer holidays or bank holidays as an excuse. It’s also unrealistic to claim orders can take 5 working days to ship (that would mean a ship date of 7th……) and then add 2-3 days with Royal Mail.
I sell goods myself and ensure orders are fulfilled the same day even if it’s a weekend or bank holidays!
So would I order again from C&W…? At this rate very unlikely.
I would just like to see my order shipped ….even a status change online to ‘being processed’ would be a step forward.
So it’s a case of high expectations versus low reality!
REPLYING TO THE RESPONSE FROM C&W
The email sent was done via the message function contained in the C&W web site and not sent via an independent email servuce. This is a C&W message link.....
As for my order number I'm not prepared to disclose my order details on this open forum for privacy reasons however as the order was placed on tuesday 1st Sept there can be many orders where the customers name is 'marc' and btw the order remains unfulfilled as of 1700 today.....!
REPLYING TO LATEST RESPONSE
Sent an email yesterday evening, at 1700, to the email you listed (admin@) asking for an update.
Unsurprisingly I have not recieved any response as of this morning.
Final update
So order finally shipped Friday with apologies for staff Holidays abd bank holiday!
Shipping could have been with Royal Mail and arrived today but instead it gets sent by DX express to arrive Monday when I am not at home to take it in.
Last night I changed delivery to Tuesday only to find this morning delivery has changed back to Monday
Tried calling DX except their AI telecaster cuts you off when uou think you are through. So endedbup with a 90 minute wait in the chat service only to be told delivery will come Monday irrespective of my change and if im out the parcel may be left by my front door or if not I should contact DX again with a 90 min wait to rearrange!
A truly farcial experience with cowling and wilkins and one I have zero intention of repeating. Support your local high street shops and avoid this type of joke service if you go on line!

Thank you taking the time to feedback.
I am sorry that delivery is taking longer than expected! We are closed on weekends and bank holidays so this does effect dispatch times but when the team are back, they are working hard to dispatch orders as promptly as possible.
With regards to your email, can I ask for you to provide your order reference or email address so I can check this as currently, all emails from Friday-today have been answered by our customer service team. Once we have this, we can also check the status of your order and ensure this is dispatched asap.
Kind regards
Cowling&Wilcox
Thank you for your additional feedback.
Would you be able to forward the email you sent or email me your order reference on admin@cowlings.com so I can find the details that way?
Kind regards
Cowling&Wilcox
Thank you for your further feedback.
The order was sent via DX Express as it was too large for our Royal Mail service and we wanted to also send it on the fastest available service due to the delay.
I can confirm all emails we received from yourself were answered by our customer service team including one to provide the tracking details.
We are sorry to hear that you had issues with the DX delivery. The tracking shows this to have been received on Monday so I do hope you now have your complete order. I will feedback to DX with regards to the delivery being re booked as this should not have been done if you requested a specific delivery day.
Please accept our sincere apologies again for the delay in this being disopatched and for any inconvenience caused as a result.
Kind regards

I ordered some goods based on the positive review the company had received. They were to be a gift. After a couple of days I'd had no updates re:delivery. Company was responsive and explained that my order was being 'picked'. Another couple of days went by and I'd still received no updates so made contact again. My order still had not been dispatched due to staff sickness. I understand things can happen, but as it was for a gift, I felt that a wait of 5 days was enough and cancelled the order last Tuesday. My refund has still not been processed. Is this all just bad luck on my part? I've emailed details over on 2/9/2026

Firstly, we are very sorry that you were let down on this occasion!
Although it is true we had some staff on annual leave, we do not want this to effect customer experiences or delay orders.
If you'd be happy to provide us your order reference or email it to us on admin@cowlings.com, I can then check your refund has been actioned and also feed back to my Warehouse team accordingly with regards to the delay.

This is my second review and great experience in the end
This is my second review - the first was negative. Order not received and no way to get hold of anyone.
In the end, after repeated attempts, I did speak to someone in customer services who was very helpful and offered a refund. Sadly Royal Mail didn’t leave a foto so we can’t trace the delivery. But I’m happy and will use this company again!

I visited your Canterbury shop and your colleague Jack was extremely helpful in my decision of buying brushes and paper for water colour painting. I am very much a beginner and with his knowledge I chose a selection. Jack was very kind explaining all the options, I just need to practice now. A lovely shop to browse in.
All the staff are always very helpful.

Thought Janey was absolutely bang on with her customer service last Friday when we visited the store in Canterbury. I only went in for a pen and when I thought I might like to buy a huge canvas she was so helpul, trying to workout if it would go in my car, and that if I paid and it didn't fit I could get a refund. She was very bubbly and energetic and made my visit so lovely. Thanx Janey. 😊
