Good Product. Good Service.

Delighted to find you offered a product to do what i wanted. all really well explained. thought it was maybe a bit pricey but discount for multi purchase helped then i was hit with postage too. i know its not amazon but when unsure if it would work i did think twice before making my purchase.. delivered promptly and its a bit early to say but i think the eco friendly snail killer is working.
