I was genuinely impressed (pun intended!); I researched guillotines thoroughly after mine died following ten years' use and I decided on a Dahle. 'Bound to Impress' offered a good price with reasonable postage so I ordered it online on 14 December 2015.

They wrote to me to advise it was on order from their supplier, so there may be a slight delay; I was a little disappointed but grateful for their prompt update.

I don't know what delay they were talking about, as my guillotine arrived two days after I placed the order! And during the Christmas season!

The guillotine is excellent quality (works deliciously smoothly!) and was packaged well in bubble wrap... which was fortunate, as the postal process seemed to have bounced it all the way to my address, going by the damage to the box.

My only suggestion would be to ask the company to mark items as 'Fragile', just to be on the safe side (because Of Course the postal service will then take extra care, right? *wry grin*).

However, I not only recommend 'Bound to Impress', I'll also order their products in future. The communication about potential delays is a definite strong point, as is the layered bubble wrap packaging for protection; my genuine thanks to the company. Be well and safe holidays *smiles*
