I have been wearing Bollsen earplugs…

I have been wearing Bollsen earplugs for the last five years as has my daughter who is noise sensitive. And we are extremely happy with them. My latest order unfortunately went missing even though Royal Mail had confirmed its arrival at my door by a tracked photo. After contacting Bollsen, Tom at customer service he promptly resent them. Thankyou
