A great service and secateur story

I wanted to share this story with people because I am so impressed with the service I got. I must emphasise that I am NOT connected with these companies in any way. I'm just so happy with the outcome that I want to share it, particularly if anyone else out there has a disability - this might be a solution for you too.

I have severe and permanent damage to my hand, wrist and arm. Pruning my roses is very painful. I'd heard that Felco makes secateurs that are easier to use so I emailed them yesterday for advice; sure enough, they replied promptly and recommended the Felco12. I found a supplier on the web - www.forestrytools.com.au - and ordered a pair at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. And would you believe it, they arrived by Express Post at 9:30 this morning.

How good is that? From go to wo, it was less than 24 hours between thinking about it and receiving them. I received lovely, polite emails back and forth from both. And yes I have just spent an hour pruning and I'm still well enough to be able to type this, which is a big deal for me.

Like I said, I have no affiliation with these companies. I just wanted to pass it on. If you have hand troubles, these are worth looking into. And it's a great story, I think so anyway, of how easy things have become now we can use the Internet.

Glad to hear you are happy with them and it is helpful to you. I believe that is a good brand and you can also buy parts for them if necessary. I have a friend with hand trouble, so I will pass on your story on to her.

Cheers,
Dee.

So many people pass on a bad service, so all good service should be known too.

That's great to hear that.
We don't seem to hear about the good Service some Companies provide only the bad.
I will say that Mail Order on line is very fast, I ordered my first digital camera from Sydney late one afternoon and it arrived just after 9am the next morning also.
Cheers..MM.
