Amazing customer service! I needed a pork crackling tool asap for a party. Paid for express service but Australia post made a mistake and sent it via regular post. CQ butcher resend it almost immediately via express post again to make sure I get it on time. Superb customer service. I'd give 100 stars if I can. Thank you.
