Uk Magic Shop Reviews

Have you ever sent a thank you letter to a shop? I haven't.

'Seriously… you can't expect me to get all this feedback and stay quiet about it can you? The only time I tend to write to a shop when I have an issue I want to complain about. That's what makes all these emails and letters my team receives so special to us all. I know it's 'bad form' to pat ourselves on the back, but it's too nice to just keep buried in our email archive' – Dominic Reyes

 

Emails sent to the UK Magic Shop:

Awesome – Impeccable customer service.The knowledge the magic shop has about magic is outstanding.

I don’t normally feed back on customer service, but it has to be said, I think your service model and practice is excellent refreshing, and highly memorable.
