I no-one locally had any Hunter Wellingtons in my size nor did the manufacturer. A google search found Charlies and they had some CHEAPER THAN ON THE HUNTER WEB SITE.

I ordered thinking they'd be with me in a week or so given I'd paid for standard delivery and given it was just before Christmas I was expecting sometime in the early New Year.

They arrived the next day - I don't know whether this was generosity from Charlies or ParcelForce but they were there the next day.

Cheaper than list price, despatched that day and arrived the following day - what's not to like.

Charlies are now on my favourites bar and i'll check with them before my local country store.
