A special gift
I bought a selection of chocolates for my friend's birthday. They are her favourite chocolates of all so I knew they would be great. It is so nice to be able to make your own selection too. Delivery was really quick by Royal Mail, so all in all a great experience!!

My elderly mother enjoyed her Mother’s Day gift very much. It was so helpful to know you could deliver a box, as I was unable to take chocs in person.

Impressed …
I believe this is their first vegan attempt hence choice was limited.
So what I got was excellent quality and now I understand first go, well I'm impressed, and looking forward to what else they can produce, they were more like proper Belgium chocolates than run of the mill.

Hi Fi,
Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a 5-star review!
We’re delighted to hear that you were pleased with our service. We understand your concerns regarding Royal Mail, especially around holidays. While Royal Mail aims to maintain consistent delivery schedules, there can be occasional delays during peak periods, such as Easter, due to factors like increased mail volume and public holidays .
Alternately we are working DHL it’s optional in our webpage on check out!!
We continuously monitor our delivery partners’ performance and are exploring additional options to ensure timely deliveries, particularly during busy seasons. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve our services.
Thank you again for your support. We look forward to serving you in the future!

Great chocolates as always with Leonidas but most importantly great boxes and care for the deliveries.
Great selection of chocolates within the boxes - in that they are very different from the closest store to me which I would not order or collect from again (Kensington). Thank goodness for the delivery service from Brighton!!

The packaging is excessive and reduces weight of chocolates compared to purchasing in Europe
The packaging is excessive, which reduces the weight of chocolates sold. I purchased some Leonidas chocolates in France recently, and you got more chocolates for the same weight of box - in fact, exactly 250g/500g of chocolate with the packaging added as extra. Plus they were about half the price of purchasing in the UK.

Dear Mr. Haines,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent purchase with us.
Upon reviewing your order, we noted that you selected our 15-piece ballotin option, which is designed for those seeking a curated assortment of chocolates. For a larger selection, we offer ballotins ranging from 250g to 1.5kg, providing a more substantial quantity of chocolates. You can explore these options here: Classic Leonidas Ballotins.
We understand that some customers prefer to choose chocolates by weight, while others opt for a set number of pieces. To accommodate these preferences, we offer both options.
Regarding pricing, as an official Leonidas store, our prices are aligned with the global pricing structure set by our headquarters in Belgium. This ensures consistency across all our 1400 locations worldwide. We understand that pricing can vary between countries due to factors such as import duties and local market conditions ext.
Therefore, comparisons between UK prices and those in France may not always be directly applicable.
