I hope this has not put you off ordering online, there are some good companies out there!

certainly not and it's inspiring as well as re-assuring to know there are companies as like yourselves that do exist, small is by far deserving of the recognition and greatness when it comes to good old fashion customer care, thumbs up. I'm in my 40's however, when I worked in the bank, we were told, the 'customer is always right' in a training course about delivery of high level of customer care at all times, now of course we all know that is not always the case, however is about is having a good attitude and approach 'as if' it was always the case, even with the most awkward ones.
Is sad when small becomes too big for the sake of competition then the vision gets lost in the corporate and common courtesy, customer care gets washed down the pan. Just like supermarkets, we now source from local, small suppliers where you can build up rapport and it's quality as opposed to quantity all the way...
Oh a good note, we alternate between ZP and PP (Pet Planet) - I must say they are pretty good at rectifying any problems, where that's my experience and recently with an order where they sent some almost sell by date stuff. They refunded for the products in questions and supervisor emailed me with an apology, also said in future, she would personally check when I ordered the product next. I followed up with an order and sent her an email to ask that everything was checked for sell by dates. Order came and all was well however what I didn't realise was that she was away when I sent her the email, yet today I got an email from her to say she had been away and she asked whether my order was okay. This put a smile on my face, just makes all the difference when someone can be bothered to go the extra mile when they didn't have to. Anyway I sent her an email back to say I appreciated her taking the time to follow up
