Really excellent service !!…read more I've ordered a couple of times from The Holding Company and the items have been as described with very quick delivery. In my last delivery, unfortunately one of the items was broken ( probably by the couriers) , I called and was asked to send a photo of the broken item. I did, and immediately they responded to tell me, no problem new item on the way - and please just dispose of the broken item. No quibbles, no having to pack it up and send it back - I shop all the time on the internet - and have to say this is really first class ! couldn't recommend them highly enough. Other internet retailers - take note!! Well done Holding Company :-)

I have recently had two substantial orders from the Holding Company and both were handled very…read moreefficiently and effectively. The initial order comprised several parts that were packaged well and clearly marked and enclosing straightforward instructions (not always the case with many companies). The baskets I ordered were much more attractive than the photographs suggested. My second order I placed at five pm on Monday and delivery was expected in Edinburgh on Wed/Thurs. It pleasantly arrived at 10pm on Tuesday morning and I had the shelving unit assembled and baskets filled by noon. My bathroom looks amazing. I will undoubtedly use the Holding Company again and will recommend them to all my family and friends.

I noticed quality issues like uneven scratched polish and uneven sanding, dust particles embedded in the lacquer, as well as cost cutting measures to reduce amount of brass used - thin brass casting, etc. The return was rejected claiming that these are not stock items and hence non-refundable. I was asking for a better quality item and their sales rep attempted to sell me another such handles with even a higher price - almost double the price. At that point I felt that I was being ripped off and started researching where these items are coming from. These are 20 quid handles, standard stock items: Carlisle Brass Victorian Scroll Door Handle that go around $12-40 USD, hence the quality. The boldest operation of all is that the sales rep from A&H Brass attempted to sell another such item to me claiming it is better quality and "weightier feel". In my opinion A&H is engaged in unethical rip-off practices and should be avoided.

I have used this store for 95% of the items I needed to refurbish my house. They have provided recommended plumbers and plasterers, all of whom have been first rate. On one occasion, the owner even gave me a lift home with my shelves. Now that's service! I just wanted to add that, in my view, we and our council reps need to create laws/rules to ensure that a resonable % of shops are independents (i.e. interesting - remember interesting venues? I do). Do we want just StarBucks and Costa Coffee shops? - No (unless you are a drone). SB and CC are probably good businesses in their own right but we just want (nay, need) variety. End of sermon.
