READ OUR REVIEWS
Here is just a small sample of the e-mails we have had from clients over the last few months. Its wonderful when clients take the time and trouble to write a thank you note, and we really appreciate receiving them. I have used clients initials rather than their names to protect their identities.

Many thanks Alison, you have been very helpful and I can see why you have such glowing reviews. J&D

I received the graduation set this morning and it is beautiful! Many thanks for the excellent service you provide!

Thanks for response to my order again. I thought as I have now received my first item and it was in perfect order I wouldn't mess about, ha ,ha, I would become a member of your site, so here I am. It’s a good site and stuff's easy to find, I like the explanation you get on the variant piece's which up until now has left me confused.
Thanks again, C.

Hello. I just finished purchasing the ballerina as well as a few items. Thank you again for reserving the piece for me. This is my first time buying from the Crystal Lodge, as well as buying Swarovski online in general, and so far it has been an easy and pleasant one.
Thanks again for everything. JL

Hi Alison
The necklace arrived today and I am really pleased with it. It's even prettier and more delicate that I remembered it from a fleeting glance in a duty free shop in La Palma airport earlier this year. I'd regretted not buying it at the time and when my birthday came round this year and my husband asked what I would like, I thought of the necklace, expecting just to go on the Swarovski site to order it. I didn't realise that they had changed their range and it would be consigned into some sort of black hole!
Thanks once again for all your kindness, detective work and excellent service to get this for me following my original long-shot enquiry - I really do appreciate it and am having a belated birthday glass of wine to celebrate.
Regards A :-)

Dear Alison,
Many thanks for getting the pine cone and boot to me so quickly, I am really delighted with them. They are now in a safe place waiting to decorate the tree!
Thanking you kindly, L

Hello
Just wanted to say how impressed I am with your service! As a new customer I didn't know quite what to expect from your company and I must say what a pleasure it has been. Thank you so much for your prompt and friendly service. I only placed my order a couple of days ago, and my parcel arrived today. I am really pleased with my goods, which arrived safe and in perfect condition.
Thanks again. S

Thanks Alison, I wasn’t expecting such a quick response so look forward to receiving the orchid early next week

Dear Alison,

Thank you again and best wishes. Mrs F

Alison Hi
Many thanks for delivery forecast and kind offer to despatch to an alternative address, fortunately I am usually around on my own when the post comes so if you could keep the address you have for delivery I should be able to magic it away without being seen. As for the “Husband of the Year award” I would be grateful for your supporting nomination as in the past I have nominated myself and not even been on the short list. (only kidding lol)
Thanks again for your help and as my wife is an avid Swarovski collector I am sure we will be talking again, soon.
Cheers C :-)

Thanks for the quick delivery. I looked a long time for these boxes. MS

Hi Alison, The package arrived and everything is in perfect shape! My husband says to thank you for such a wonderful wrapping job; he said it was fantastic. By the time I got home from work he had everything unpackaged ready for me to see. WOW, that Panda screen is amazing.

Hi Alison (aka Secret Squirrel)
Thank you so much for getting that Swarovski piece to me in good time for my husbands birthday - and you even gift wrapped it! He was delighted as he thought that I hadn't taken any notice of his heavy hints. The parcel arrived when he was out for the day as arranged with you, and he had no idea that it was there. Thank you once again for your help. We'll be back next time we want more Swarovski. Hope that all goes well for you in this venture.
