Very bad

Order sent 2 months later only. Half of the order was missing. Now in a email thread of over 30+ emails to try to get the refund.

My order was ready for collection…

My order was ready for collection within 24 hours, I was able to arrange to collect at a convenient time and this worked well as I live in Bradford. All the fairtrade items I ordered were in stock at a very competitive price and I hope to order from Premcrest again.

Friendly helpful and efficient

Maria from Premcrest was very friendly and helpful with my order for Fairtrade items for a special event, quickly suggesting alternatives for items they did not have in stock and despatching by courier to make sure all arrived in time- a very positive experience all round. I will order from them again. Thank you.

Thanks for your help with our order !

Ordered a hard to find (for me at least!) product.
At payment it stated Out of Stock for some of my items - so I added a note asking for time to restock.

Quickly received a reply from Mary, who offered to either send what they had or to wait for more to be delivered.
As Mary had helped me with a challenge on an order last year, I was confident that she would sort any problems quickly.

I opted to wait for the full amount and have it delivered all together, and Mary again updated me on the restock date (only took a couple of days).

Thank you again for being great to communicate and for your pleasant way of helping me.

Kind regards,
Austin

Above and beyond excellent.

Ordered a product, out of stock but, Mary at Premcrest could not have been more helpful. I was offered alternative products to choose from or a full refund. This Lady is a credit to the company and the company is a credit to the supply industry.

Great communication and customer service!
Good prices compared to other suppliers for the products I ordered :)
Just one issue maybe with a product ordered as a replacement but not the product I thought it was. No need to return with a third party with a high return fee :(

Don't trust this company

Don't trust this company!
They had my large order and money over 3 months ago
Promising next week, next week, next week.
Today issues refund notice, apparently nearly everything on there list is not available ?? Yet they still allow orders and take your money
Absolutely appalling, this can't be legal !
I would say avoid at all costs

Dear Lorraine, I am sorry to learn that you’ve had cause to complain.
I have checked our records internally and can see notes here that we contacted you advising of the OOS on the Biscuits, that we did not know when they would be available and to ask whether you’d like us to hold on to your order or to cancel and issue the full refund...that you were happy for us to hold the order.
We submitted the enquiry with the manufacturer who only very recently (after numerous requests for updates) confirmed that they were no longer manufacturing this range. We immediately issued the full refund with apology.
Since then, I believe my colleague has been in touch with you to offer some replacement products which we will be happy to offer if you wish (stocks permitting – stock situation changes by the hour).
Unfortunately, with the best will in the world, it is impossible to ensure all the products can be made available all of the time. We do recognise though that there is room for improvement and are working with a development agency to link our website to the live stocks so that customers know the stock situation at the point of ordering.

Excellent customer service

I have placed several orders with Premcrest over the last years, and they have always delivered, in the UK and to the Netherlands.
Fair products, good prices and the very best teas. Special mention of the excellent customer service, where Zara always finds a solution to uncommon questions or out-of-stock issues.

Premcrest has been our wholesale supplier of Fairtrade coffee for several years. I have been repeatedly impressed by their prompt, friendly service and their quick turnaround time in filling stock orders. 10/10 recommend.

Avoid.

Used several times. Very good at taking money but not good at the rest. So far over a month for a refund to process and and I've still not received anything. Terrible customer service.

3 months left of BB date.

I had an issue with 3 month shelf life on the Montezuma chocolate which I was not happy about. I spoke to the Company who said this was discontinued and that they did not have any more stock. They refunded promptly. Will use again.

Exellent Service

A minor website problem occurred during my first purchase (O3/02/16) which they sorted professionally and fast; and the high quality products I bought were the best price I could find online, and the delivery was on time.
