AI Highlights
  • - Ordered 15 April with paid fast delivery for 20 April.
  • - The item didn't arrive, I emailed the company, and the listed phone is out of service.

Ordered on 15th april. Paid for fast delivery for 20th april.

Didn't arrive so contacted co by email.no tel no. Tel no given here is no longer in service. Co apologised for delay but couldn't say when it would be sent.

No reason for delay apart from a backlog. Didn't offer to help give it priority even when I explained I needed it for 23rd april for huabands 70th birthday.

User's recommendation: Find another co to.order from NOT this one

Need to change delivery address

AI Highlights
  • - The number given was not recognised.
  • - I tried 3 times.
  • - Contact is via email; replies took over 2 days.
  • - Client communication is not fit for purpose.

The number you provided me with was not recognised. I tried 3 times

The only way to communicate with Historic Papers is via email. It took them over 2 days to get back to me.

I think their communication with existing clients is not fir for purpose.

Ordered wrong date of part, should be 1975

I have received newspaper today dated 23/5/25 - not your mistake but mine - and I wish to return it. Do I re- order and return the one I received or can you replace it with the correct date - 1975?

Order not arrived

AI Highlights
  • - Ordered 1945 paper for Dad's 80th; after 7 days it wasn't delivered.
  • - Courier said it was damaged and leaking wine; £120 paid, Historic hasn't replied.

Ordered a paper from 1945 for Dad's 80th. After 7 days nothing arrived, Tracked and 'sent back to sender.'

Courier said item damaged and leaking (there was wine in the order). Historic said via email as no phone number to call, i put wrong delivery address.

Now, no one at Historic returning emails and I have no present having paid £120.

User's recommendation: AVOID THIS COMPANY.
