“Dear Sir or Madam
I went to the post office this morning to pick up the helmet that you sent me and I found inside the packaging the lovely letter that you included along with the cheque. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this to me and for the refund of the hi-vis carry bag.
Thanks again and kind regards,
Helen Gurney”

“Hi Mark & Nick,
Very sorry for troubling you. I just collected the helmet from Pos Malaysia this afternoon. They actually tried to deliver it on 9th July! But no one was in so they left a note which I overlooked.
Anyway, thanks so much, it looks superb!
Best regards,
Sanusi"

“Hi Nick
We just received the helmets and love them. I will send a photo of my husband when he is in his bike gear. And of course will forward on some when in Whistler when the new season begins.
Thanks for the great service as well.
All the best

“Hi Nick
When my husband and I saw the article on your helmets in the Sunday Times we just loved them and had to have one. (My husband is a mountain biker too) We have a townhouse in Whistler and also go over in the summer so we thought that we would purchase them now and take them over ahead of time.
We always wear helmets anyway but they are so boring. I can guarantee that we will be turning heads this winter on the mountain wearing HardnutZ!!!
Kind regards
Jayne”

“Hi Nick,
Thank you, I am delighted :) You should probably make an option to send to Australia, as I believe your helmets would sell like hotcakes in Australia. Your advertisement came up on my Facebook and redirected me to your sight. Fantastic product. Your products a well priced, good looking, great reviews and a stand out product! You've got the market in Australia - Try it out!!!!
Cheers Persia
P.S Thanks again!!

“Good Evening Nick
Just wanted to say thank you for such a speedy delivery of my order. The helmet arrived today for my son and it looks fantastic. I am sure that all the other guys in his cycling club will want one too!
Very impressed with the processing of my order and delivery. Its my son's birthday on Saturday and I am sure he will be delighted with his present.
Kind regards

“Hi Nick,
Just to say that the helmet arrived and it is fab. Few people stopped us in the park so gave them the website details.
Many thanks,

“Ooh Facebook! Excellent, well will upload a photo of Henry in his new helmet on to that as he look super cool in it. Fab product and nice to find good kids products that aren't plastered in Ben 10 or Peppa Pig! :-)

“Nick: My helmet arrived today, and I am thrilled! It is light weight and adjusts so easily. It is actually lighter weight than my existing helmet. I wear a MTB helmet now with a bright-red blinky on the back. Because I commute through downtown Albuquerque, I'll probably buy another blinky to put on the back of my new helmet.
Do you have a Facebook page? Putting one up would be a great idea. I can post pictures on my page and "Like" your page so my other cyclist friends can see your wonderful products.
Have a blessed and safe weekend!
Peace,
Rose”

“Nick: I ride with a group of women in Albuquerque, NM, called Women Riding Well. One of the other women, Rosie, was wearing your helmet. Because I commute to work in Albuquerque through the downtown area, I decided to purchase your helmet in an effort to be more visible and keep myself safe. As you probably know, cyclists have numerous near misses because drivers are inattentive or just plain jerks!
Rosie was thrilled with your helmet and the customer service she received from your company.
I look forward to the arrival of my new helmet!
Peace,
Rose”

“Hola Nick,
It made it in on the 31st, but our mail box was vandalized on that day and the mail slip was stolen or lost along with everything else.
Just got it yesterday from the post office. A parcel slip showed up and it was our vitamins and they said you had a box here since the 31st and I said,"O really"!
Its a sweet helmet! and I'll get to use soon and spread the stickers around.
cheers,
Vern”

“Hi Nick,
On account of how 'bowled over' with we were with your reply... it is just so refreshing to find someone like you to do a deal with, so, we'll order them online this evening, but I wonder if I could ask you to check it out tomorrow and make sure it's gone through, only we fly out Sunday and need for them to arrive beforehand.
I hope that will be ok.
Thanks once again
Reba”

The package came in yesterday but I wasn't home so I picked it up this morning. Fits perfect!
Once I have snow pics I will drop them on Facebook and tag HardnutZ...
Greetzz,

“Hi Nick
Following your telephone conversation with Richard the other day, we decided to invest in your new enterprise by buying 3 cycle helmets.
We have received them, and are impressed with the quality (which matches your high quality website by the way).
Best regards

“Hi Nick,
Thank’s for your effort!
The helmet just arrived an hour ago.
It had a delay because of the carnaval season. But anyway, I’am very pleased with it and it fits perfectly.
I’ll suggest all of my buddies to do the same and sent them straight to your site.
Once again thank you and till next time.
Cheers,
Bert.”

“Hi Nick!
Just got back from a week in Courchevel with the hardnutz helmet and thought you would like some feedback.
First time I've skiied with one, it was excellent, you forget you are wearing it.
Other skiiers complained of cold getting in between helmet and goggles (it was -20!), no problem with mine. Head was warm despite vents
thanks, hope all well and good luck with the sales!

“Good Morning
Just a quick note to say that I am massively impressed with my new bike hat. So pleased I made a foray in to the cycle show last weekend. Wish I had had longer and made it earlier. but more importantly am really pleased with my new hat. Keep up the excellent work...
Thank you.
Kind Regards
Becky
PS Took me a while to understand why there was a m8 nut in the box on a bit of string but got it eventually!”

“Hello,
My name is Lee Biddulph. I rang you yesterday about having not received a pink snowboarding helmet. I just want to let you know that it had arrived on time last monday. The post office were indeed holding onto it they just forgot to leave a note saying that they had called. The shop was closed for lunch at the time.
Helmet looks great. Will definately be recommending you to my friends and family and others in the snowsports industry.
Thanks for your time and effort,
Lee.”

“Hi Nick,
Thought I'd send you a note saying i received the helmet today and it fits like a glove!!! Can't wait to give it a try. The season is just starting here so I'll have to wait a few days, but it should work great! I'll send some pics. from the mountain when I can. Thanks so much again!!
Have a merry Christmas and all the best in 2011!!
CHEERS,
Wade Ohm”

Comment: Nick,
Just thought I'd drop you a note so you have my contact details, and also wanted to say thanks again for the loan of the goggles whilst out in Tignes...they were great, and if you want a testimonial to stick on your site, then you can use the below as you see fit!
Great to meet you, and hope that this all takes off - the helmets are great to look at!
All the best
Olly (yes, confusingly my real name is James, but nobody calls me that!)
I was having trouble in Tignes last week (Dec 17th 2010) with my old pair of goggles – which are usually great, but have started to steam up when it gets really cold and if it snows heavily, particularly when I’m hiking in powder (as I get hot). Nick suggested I borrow a pair of the HardnutZ goggles that he had out with him – so I did...
I used a pair with a yellow lens (as it was snowing very heavily and the light was very flat) and headed out. I have nothing but good things to say about them...whilst I stuck to the piste I had no problems at all and the lens made the best of the poor light conditions – but I would expect that from any goggle. However, when the snow eased off and the light improved briefly for about an hour in the late afternoon, I headed off piste into some very deep, very fresh powder. The goggles were great – even when I took a complete end-over-end face plant and was dusting snow out of every opening in my clothing, they didn’t steam up. I had to walk out at the end of one pitch, through deep stuff, and got very warm, but still they didn’t fog, despite the temperature being around -16 centigrade.
The only time any kind of fogging occurred was when I was bending over to tighten my straps and breathing heavily almost directly up into the goggles via my face mask, but this then cleared immediately once I stood up.
All in all, they performed much better than I would ever have expected of a goggle that sells for less than fifty quid, and I’d have no hesitation at all in recommending them to anyone...and cheers Nick for lending me them, otherwise I might have given up and headed in and missed the best few hours of the holiday!
