Ruined Jubilee Weekend Plans
One of the Jubilee Afternoon Teas for 2 was ordered by the 25th, expected by Thursday 2nd as it was for the Jubilee (obviously). On Tuesday we called to see if it had been dispatched, and was told 'it will be dispatched this evening, you'll get it tomorrow'. On Wednesday, nothing had arrived, so called again and was told 'sorry there's been an issue, we'll dispatch it this evening and you'll definitely have it tomorrow'. Comes to Thursday evening, no afternoon tea.
I then went to look up Royal Mail's service update for the weekend - no collections or deliveries on Thursday or Friday. So we were lied to, as their website states they dispatch with Royal Mail 24, and it was ordered well in advance of the 30th, so we should have had it for the weekend - not on, FOR.
We didn't receive it on the Saturday, or the following Monday. Very disappointed as our Jubilee plans were completely ruined, and we still have nothing to show for it.
Edit: Received a refund from the company. Not entirely sure what happened with our order - it either got lost in their system, or got lost in the post. They sent a box of some mini cakes & biscuits as an apology, which were well-received. That said, I don't think I would rely on this company to cater for a specific event in future, but might make a purchase once in a while just as a treat.
