Thank you for the chance to try these.

What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly? The website was extremely clear, uncluttered and easy to navigate. Ordering was simple with straightforward options.

Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed? I was very pleased with the confirmation email and the delivery time, which was within the time specified.

When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed? The packaging was minimal, protected the contents, and waterproof, which is all I need! The instructions enclosed were in perfect readable condition.

How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow? The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the labels were easy to detach from the sheet and attach to the clothes. It would be more helpful for the labels to be attached directly to the clothing, as a lot of the care labels are a bit of a faff to find.

What did you stick the labels onto? School shirt, pyjamas, water bottle and welly boots.

How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? The labels on the shirt and pyjamas went through a couple of washes, tumble drying and sitting in the sun to remove stains (after a close encounter with ketchup). The water bottle was used throughout the day, washed daily by hand with washing up liquid and was frequently wet/sweaty/mucky from hands. The wellies were only worn a couple of times. All of the labels performed brilliantly, no peeling, curling, unsticking or fading. The labels on the clothes didn’t get any complaints of itchiness from my son. I was very happy with the labels and am confident I will order from them again.

1. What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly?

The website was really easy and clear. Was quick to get through and process my order. The website was a pretty simple design and quite wordy. The 'about us' section wasn't really where I expected it to be and this is something I do like to read, especially for small businesses- I like to know their story!

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

I can't fault the delivery, packaging and speed. Was all managed perfectly.

1. When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed?

The information/ instructions were clear and easy to follow. Packaging was simple, not wasteful

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

The labels themselves were easy to apply and following the instructions ensures they will stay in place, which they did. Except they won't stick on rubber, so when my son got a poppit we couldn't use the stickins for that, unfortunately for us his best friend has exactly the same so had to revert to a marker

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

Apart from the failed attempt on the poppit we also successfully used them on all types of water bottles and lunch bags. We also used on the school shoes / pe trainers as well school coats.

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing

Everything that went through the dishwasher has survived very well. Some bits were wiped down and hand washed and they too all lasted perfectly well. The stickins have also remained stuck in the shoes and coats after all the rain and no doubt sweaty feet!!

1. What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly?

Yeah it was brilliant! Super easy to use and v quick to order

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

Yes all very straightforward

1. When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed?

All good and very clear

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

Really easy. After doing one I got my 7 and 5 year olds doing their own and it worked out fine

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

The washing labels

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing?

Great so far. They’ve only had a couple of washes due to half term so it’ll be interesting to see how they fare but very pleased so far

1. What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly? Yes, had no issues with ordering

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed? It was all straightforward.

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow? Very easy, instructions also suggested letting the adhesive cure before washing too.
2. What did you stick the labels onto?

Clothes, shoes and water bottle

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? The shoe labels are fine, very impressed with the label on the water bottle surviving several dishwasher cycles so far with no fading or peeling. The clothing labels also seem to be staying put, but I have been line drying clothes so whether they'll cope in a dryer I don't know yet.

1. What did you think about the Stikins website? Did you think the website was user friendly?

Super easy to gain information on product and select and order. Super quick.

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

I ordered late in the afternoon around 5pm by 8pm I have a dispatch email.

Arrived in a standard envelope which is perfectly acceptable considering the product, stikins logo bright on the envelope.

They’ve only been washed once but are well and truly stuck and I think will last a considerable time.

5. What did you stick the labels onto? Shoes, trainers, sports kit, pencil case
6. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? So far they have been very durable withstanding washing and the rubbing of feet in the footwear. I usually use iron-on labels that look almost identical and they work as well as the iron- ons.

2. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed? Yes, no faffing around and clear instructions.

4. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow? They were easy to attach but it has to be planned in advance as they need to be left to adhere. The after care or do not wash for 24 hours was useful.
5. What did you stick the labels onto? Pencil case, shoes, sports kit.
6. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing? Very well, as durable so far as my usual iron on labels.

1. What did you think about the Stikins website?

Did you think the website was user friendly? Website was good. It was easy to navigate .

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

I experienced issues with the discount code and contacted customer service. They were really helpful and someone responded very promptly to my query giving me a clear step by step guide as to how I could resolve the problem. She was very friendly and couldn’t have been more helpful.

1. When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed?

The package was compact and clear instructions were included.

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

The stickers were easy to pull off the sheet. They stuck on easy and didn’t wrinkle.

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

I put the labels inside my daughter’s school sun hat, summer dresses and school uniform as well as on her water bottles.

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing?

The labels were still clearly visible and easy to read after machine washing and washing in the sink under the taps.

Website was great, easy to use and quick to get what I wanted

1. Were you pleased with the service you received? Why? Did the confirmation email provide you with all the information that you needed?

Yes, ish! I got four confirmation emails, then didn’t receive anything in the post. I contacted them and was sent more next day delivery which was great!

1. When your order arrived, what did you think of the packaging and information enclosed?

Package was great because it was small enough to fit through the letterbox. There wasn’t too much filler or rubbish in it, so I was happy with that!

1. How easy was it to use the labels/put the labels onto clothes and other items? Were the instructions on how to do so clear and easy to follow?

Labels were simple and easy to use, there were clear instructions, but they were so simple they probably weren’t necessary!

1. What did you stick the labels onto?

I stuck the labels to clothes, labels, a book bag and a water bottle (my son loses his regularly!)

1. How well did the print and labels survive throughout wear and after washing?

The print survived well, the label came off the water bottle during washing (probably inevitable!) but stayed on clothes labels most effectively
