Did not deliver for a week and a half despite it being a next day delivery. The delivery was required as my partner had surgery, by the time it was delivered, it was too late. I emailed multiple times... See more

Where is the customer service

I ordered this hamper on the 23 November and it has still not been delivered.
Though I spent over £62 this is apparently of no concern to the company as it has been impossible for me to get a hold of anyone to resolve this issue. I have emailed three times and phoned the customer service phone line a dozen times but it cuts out before it is answered. I am very unhappy that the hamper was not delivered but even more disappointed by the non-existent customer service.

I ordered 2 hampers on 7th December to be delivered on 22nd December.They have not arrived and I am getting no reply from emails and the phone number just cuts out, my order number is #21678 just in case the company monitors these reviews.
Please use with extreme caution
Edit. Avoid as when hampers were eventually delivered they were missing an important item, ie 2 bottles of wine and also consisted of odds and ends of left overs, none of which were advertised.My advice is spend your money elsewhere as I spent £119 on basically sweets and a bottle of juice as that was obviously all they had left

I ordered a hamper on the 5th December to be delivered by the 8th. It didn't arrive so I emailed Gareth and he looked into it. My emails were answered immediately and he also phoned me. The problem was resolved and the hamper was amazing. Definitely use them again. Thanks Gareth and co

Scam - do not trust and buy!!

If I could - I would give this "company" 0 stars. Do not buy from this company - it is a scam! I ordered a Hamper from this company on the 18th of December with next day delivery, and even paid extra charge for the postage. It was very important for me to receive it on the next day. Today is the 20th of December, and on my account there is still no update. My Hamper has still not been dispatched. Customer services, emails and live chats are all useless, it looks like this company is not real as nobody answers me. I tried to cancel my order, as it has still not been dispatched, but unfortuantely I could not even get in contact with anyone at the company. Please do not rely on this company, as this company will disappoint you, give you unneeded stress and will destroy all the celebrations.

Still waiting - nothing ... and you have my money

I ordered a hamper on 8th December for delivery on December 15. It's still not been delivered yet. My order number is 21684. I've tried calling, emailing, and using the live chat and have had no response at all from the company. It was £124.95 and they have my money. It's so disappointing because it was timed for a specific event. Is it in transit Boyd's?

I purchased a hamper on the 5th December and have still not received the parcel or had any updates. I have emailed, tried to live chat and called numerous times and have had no reply. No one ever answers the phone. This is very disappointing as I ordered this for a relative for Christmas Day.

I posted a negative review 3 days ago

I posted a negative review 3 days ago, as had not received order that had apparently been sent on the 11/12/2023. UP DATE it has arrived and guess what family hamper missing the soup/tomatoes and mandarins so had to add them myself. Also order the Cheese Letterbox Curation' what did you send me but the The Christmas Letterbox Treat, how is chocolate and sweet biscuits a substitute for cheese and savory biscuits.

DO NOT buy from this company

DO NOT buy from this company! I ordered a hamper on the 25th November (Black Friday) £39.99 which was reduced £35.95. By the 4th December it hadn’t been dispatched so I used the live chat. As this was for relatives who we were going to visit that week, I asked if the delivery address could be changed. I was told this wasn’t a problem and they would get it dispatched within the next day or so. This didn’t happen and, despite several failed attempts on the live chat, email and telephone, no reply. Then, on the 14th December a hamper arrives to my address, a cheaper one and not what I ordered! I tried phoning them again and it rang out so I thought I’d my luck on Facebook messenger, still nothing. Disappointed doesn’t cover it!

Puzzled as to why people think this firm is a scam....
Ordered a whiskey hamper tuesday night, received by the inlaws thursday. All from my sitting room in spain, to the inlaws in the Uk. Very easy and hassle free. Ever thought, ordering in december is this firms busiest time and sometimes things do go astray or have to be adapted??
Give them a break. I looked at a few different companys on line for a hamper. Boyds came out on top.

Ordered a hamper

Ordered a hamper, and what I ordered was completely different. Only received 8 items instead of 10, of which 7 items weren't in the product description and of lesser value.
No answer from Boyd via email, phone or live chat.

This company is just scamming people!

Dear Luke,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent order with us.

I would like to address your concerns about the substitution of the Christmas Gala hamper. Due to unforeseen stock shortages involving specific items in the original hamper, we were unable to fulfil your order as initially requested.

To ensure you still received a premium experience, we opted to dispatch an alternative hamper of higher value at no additional cost to you. This decision was made with the intention of offering you a comparable, if not superior, product, rather than as a means to benefit at your expense.

The substituted hamper, detailed at The Teetotaller's Treat, features a wicker basket, enhancing the presentation and value compared to the original gift box packaging.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused and assure you that our intention was to provide the best possible service under the circumstances. We value your patronage and would like to discuss how we can make this right for you.

Please feel free to reach out to us with your preferred resolution.

Warm regards,

Bill from Customer Services

Scam Company

I've ordered two Christmas hampers for presents. I need to urgently change the delivery date for one and have tried over several days to contact Boyd Hampers to rearrange a new date - by phone, email, and live chat! No one ever picks up the phone and I've left it ringing for 'ages' (tried several times over different days). The live chat doesn't actually work (its a false pop up) and no-one has ever replied to the email. Looks like I may have burnt good hard earnt money on a scam company and am now seriously worried that the hampers won't ever turn up at all. AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!!!!! DO NOT GET SCAMMED IN THE SAME WAY !!!!!!! I will NEVER use again or recommend to anyone. Horrendous!!!

Avoid!

Didn't receive tracking info so contacted someone on the live chat, they said they'd find it and email it to me. Never heard anything, my selected delivery date was Friday 8th December. I've tried contacting them via phone call, live chat and email but haven't heard anything. So no idea where my order is or if I'll ever get it.

UPDATE- I recieved my hamper a week after the selected delivery date... and I open it to find its not what I ordered... absolutely useless will not use Boyd Hampers again! Don't waste your money!!
