Eoin, Dublin

"Just a quick note to say 'Thank you'. I purchased rashies for each of my three boys before going on holiday to Greece and they were absolutely brilliant. It meant the boys could go into the sea all day and not have to worry about the risk of sunburn.
We had many comments from other holiday makers saying how good they were and asking where we had purchased them from. I would highly recommend you for your prompt service and good quality products. Thanks again."
Aexa, Bedworth

Things don't always go to plan! Life isn't perfect but on the rare occasions when things don't work out, we do our very best to make everything right as quickly as possible:

"I placed an order but the local post office lost the package and I had a hard time getting it located and delivered. When I believed it was completely lost, I contacted Rip101 and had the fortunate experience to have a dialogue with Claire. She was friendly, professional and provided excellent solutions to my issue. She made me feel completely valued as a Customer and as this was a birthday present order very secure that my order would be re-dispatched and on time for said birthday!

I have had a very positive experience with your company – my parcel was located finally by the post office and delivered to me, so a happy outcome for all in the end. As a person who has worked largely in the customer service arena for a long time, I appreciate it when I get excellent service and I certainly received this.

Thanks again."
Danielle UK

"Thanks for the swift response and the attention to good customer service.
Although the item I ordered had a fault I am impressed with your response and judged on this I would definitely order from your company again, and recommend it to others."
Keith, UK
