  After a long search I finally found some of the items of Arcoroc Octime Black I needed to complete my dinner service. Sadly there was an error in the delivery. Approximately one hour after emailing not only had the error been speedily corrected but the final two pieces I was missing were found and are on their way to me. What a wonderful site and a brilliantly helpful team. Long may you continue.

We hope you enjoy it for many years to come, and we would be very happy to welcome you back in the future!

  I received the Pickwick D.E. teaspoon tin (72 years old!) and I’m absolutely delighted with it. My mother used to have the same tin, but sadly it was lost many years ago. I still have the teaspoons she collected from D.E., and now, beautifully polished, they are once again stored in the tin just as they used to be. Ordering and delivery were both handled perfectly. Thank you!

  What a wonderful story to read! It’s so lovely that, after all these years, the Pickwick D.E. teaspoon tin has once again found a place with your mother’s treasured teaspoons. It makes a vintage item like this all the more special.

  We hope you enjoy it for many years to come, and thank you very much for your lovely review and for ordering from Retro & Design!

  Highly recommended! Fast and friendly service. I honestly didn’t expect to find what I was looking for, but there it was in this shop, in perfect condition. Unfortunately, I then made the mistake of browsing the rest of the website, and I’m afraid I’ll have to come back for more. So many great items!

  Response Retro & Design

  And yes… browsing the rest of our webshop is entirely at your own risk. 😉 We’d be very happy to welcome you back again!

  Nice team,
  Many thanks… The coal scuttle arrived safely and was well packaged, very practical and I’m very happy with it. (Could use a bit less plastic tape haha. P.S. There is also paper tape…).
  Very personal touch with the nice card included, that really means a lot.
  See you next time!
  Kind regards,
  Virry

  Today we received our beautiful Bolletje rusk tin. I had to smile when I saw that it was charmingly packed in old newspapers instead of the usual bubble wrap. Perhaps I’ll return to your shop again for another order!
  
  Response Retro & Design
  How lovely to hear, thank you so much for your kind review! 😊
  Great to know that the Bolletje rusk tin arrived safely and that our “retro packaging” was appreciated — we like to keep it both fitting and a bit more sustainable.
  We look forward to welcoming you again to our webshop!

  Bought a fun old-fashioned game and everything went smoothly. When I had a question about the shipping, I received a reply the same day. Upon arrival, it was well packed and included a lovely handwritten card. One small tip: I would place “write a review” more prominently on the website with the reviews — I had to search for it a bit.
  
  Response Retro & Design
  Thank you very much for your lovely review! We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed the game and that you were satisfied with our communication and shipping. We put a lot of care into the packaging and the personal card, so it’s extra nice that this was noticed.
  
  Thank you as well for your tip about placing the “write a review” option more prominently. That’s valuable feedback we will certainly take into account.
  
  Enjoy your purchase and we hope to see you again at Retro & Design!
