Working together with Wicked Uncle

Always reliable. Speedy and responsible service. When I had a problem recently (I realised I’d not put my name on a card being sent) Iemailed Wicked Uncle. This produced a prompt, personal response and excellent resolution. I’ve used Wicked Uncle a number of times now and find them really useful for sensible (and silly but good) ideas. The fact that they will wrap presents and include an appropriate card (plenty of choice) is a useful, additional service. I have eight great nephews and nieces ranging from two to sixteen years old…..and I’m well into my seventies. Although we keep in touch, we don’t see each other that often and I find it difficult to know what sort of thing is a present which is suitable/acceptable/fun/useful. Having such a business as Wicked Uncle means that I’m more than likely to make a good choice of present. Also, I have one pair of nephews who seem to think it’s quite acceptable not to say ‘Thank you’, and sending them Wicked Uncle presents, which always include a ‘Thank you’ post card has produced a positive response. Wow! Well done Wicked Uncle. Incidentally, I’ve just used Wicked Uncle to send a Sandscape present to an 82 year old friend. One of these also went to a stressed out friend aged 49! I’d quite like one of these myself, I think. Well done again, Wicked Uncle and thank you. To any potential purchasers out there - I have had nothing but positive experiences when using Wicked Uncle and recommend them without reservation.
