Firebox Love

Just a note to say thank you so much for the quick delivery. I ordered these glasses at 11.30am yesterday, my shipping email came at 2.30pm and they were delivered at 8.30am this morning. Really excellent glasses and service thanks also for the fizzy cola bottles too! I will definitely be using Firebox again.
