    Is Transferwise ok?

    Sorry to hear you've had that issue, I'd had issues with N26 but Transferwise have been great for me so far.

    Messed up with client, how to make right

    This sort of thing is inevitable to happen at some point, either down to packaging or a careless courier. It's great that you've already rectified the issue by replacing the damaged goods and offering a % off their next order with you, however I'd also send a personal and apologetic letter...
