Superb service - I was initially let down on a door order and called Cardens who there and then were able to get me exactly what I wanted with a 24 hr delivery slot. My original order then arrived that day so embarrassingly I had to cancel the Cardens order which they did immediately without any fuss or annoyance on their behalf - great customer service would highly recommend
