Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 393 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers reported significant issues with their orders, frequently receiving incomplete shipments with missing or incorrect items. People also experienced extremely long delivery times, often far exceeding advertised next-day services, with some orders never arriving at all. Reviewers consistently highlighted a severe lack of communication, noting that emails went unanswered and phone numbers were unresponsive or disconnected, making it impossible to resolve issues. However, some customers also mentioned receiving their orders, sometimes even with fast shipment and correct, safely packaged items, though this was a less common experience.

What an absolutely appalling company

What an absolutely appalling company.
They send half your order, and when you contact them to query it, they pretend to re-send out the second half of your order. Two weeks later nothing and now radio silence on email.
I realise I’m not the first and very clearly won’t be the last, but I am absolutely disgusted how a fraud campaign pretending to be a company is allowed to continue in this day and age. I will be taking this further and won’t rest until this company owns up to keeping money for orders they have no intention of sending.
STAY AWAY.

ORDERED A MONTH AGO, STILL NOTHING

placed an order on 7th of may, currently it is the 3rd of june and i still haven’t received anything. I placed it as next day delivery aswell and still nothing. when i called them which was on 13th of may, they said they’re not sure what has happened and they said they will proceed to chase it up and also give me my shipping refund which would take 3-5 working days, like i mentioned before, it is currently the 3rd of june and they haven’t given me my shipping refund as well as my order!!!! when i raised a dispute against them, they said they’ll send a new order to me and gave me a tracking number but i’ll be sending it back and that is if i even receive it, it took a dispute for them to actually sort it out. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

New update… After i disputed, the company responded on 2nd June 2026 and said they’ve issued a new order for me and that i will get it delivered in 2 days time…… it’s currently 9th June and i still haven’t recieved my order and i ain’t surprised, the payment has been fully completed, the dispute has been closed and i won’t be getting a refund as well as not receiving my order, this company knows exactly what they’re doing so please avoid at all costs.

Do not buy from this company

Do not buy from this company. There are plenty of other online sweet companies out there who actually reply to customers and take time for customer service. Took nearly a week to dispatch my order and I still havent received it. I messaged them and just got blanked.

Non-existent customer service

Ordered something on the 30th of April and realised I had accidentally ordered the wrong thing. Emailed them approximately an hour after ordering it and requested a cancellation. Received an automated response from their customer service. On the 5th of May I received an email that they had dispatched my order, five days after I requested a cancellation. Emailed again on the 5th May and still received no response at all. Items arrived today, 11 days after ordering and cancelling. Really poor customer service, would not use again

Wouldn’t bother again. Expensive and partially shipped…

Prices are high in comparison to other companies and they have VERY limited stock, most of the good stuff showing as out of stock, even despite that, I placed an order and it only partially arrived.

I’ll give them credit, I paid for Next Day delivery and it did arrive next day but several items were missing, with no communication as to why. I didn’t even received a shipping email until after the parcel was delivered. I’ve worked in online retail before and this usually happens when an order is partially shipped - which my order was - however, the confirmation I did receive showed all items dispatched, when they clearly weren’t. A week later and my email have been ignored and no update regarding the stock shortages and/or a refund.

Considering that about 60% of the stock on the site show as “out of stock”, I don’t know how they managed to partially ship an order. Wouldn’t waste my time or money ordering from them again as their competitors offer better value, generally more favourable reviews and these guys are ignorant and dishonest to customers when they can’t fully send an order.

Missing item never sent and constantly fobbed off

Received my order with one item incorrect and one item missing, called them same day was told they were waiting a shipment and then my missing item would be sent and that id receive an email about it. I did not. Sent an email a few days later asking for an update, then I called them again, was told again that they were waiting for a shipment and then I’d have my item sent, well it’s been another week since that phone call and I still haven’t received my item. It’s now been 3 weeks since my order and 2 weeks since I received my order. Thankfully I paid with Clearpay so I can at least raise a dispute with them to resolve the issue, however I will be reporting this company too.

*update* after further emails including threatening them with reporting them I got a reply saying they’d refund me, I told them to please do that, they then tried to close my dispute with Clearpay using my delivery tracking information as evidence, however I have email proof of them admitting the item wasn’t sent and that they are waiting for a shipment. Unfortunately for them I am an incredibly stubborn person and will just annoy them into sorting this issue out.

Absolutely shocking service. AVOID!

We were sent out the wrong order, and when we contacted them about it we heard absolutely nothing back. It’s been over a week since we emailed them and not even had a reply. Will not be using again and I urge others to do the same.
