Very happy with the purchase of the size 20 biscuit box. Good quality for the price plus speedy delivery.
The No. 20 biscuits are good, similar to the “ original “ brand, measure the same thickness ( 4 mm) , strength is good, so good value.
Fast shipping, fast delivery, correct order, well packaged, and items exa rly as described/pictured. Excellent. Highly recommend.
Well priced, well made. Heavy duty enough to stamp into solid stainless steel 304 with manual tools, though the impressions could be deeper. All up, a great buy for the price.
Items came swiftly and communication was perfect. All is well.
