Truly Astounding.
Truly Astounding.
I ordered sunflower seeds and Niger seeds on line on Sunday evening, as I need it delivered to France I paid a little extra for delivery there. It was delivered on Wednesday morning- which is truly astounding. This was quicker than I would expect something ordered in France. In fact in France you'd expect anything delivered from a French company to take an inordinately long time, probably be wrong, and that's if they managed to find your address.
Croston Mill take a bow.
Excellent products - Outstanding service.
Excellent quality products (sunflower hearts and peanuts), and outstanding service.
I have been let down on several occasions by Little Peckers which prompted me to look elsewhere - certainly not going anywhere else now I have found Croston Mill !!
Would like to give 5 stars but.....
The wild bird seed I order to be delivered is excellent, as is the service, but I am increasingly distressed by the amount of single use plastic that is used in the packaging. Unless we the public make our objections known to retailers, little if anything will change. Other animal feed companies use paper sacks so I know it is possible.
Excellent product and delivery
Have used this company for quite a while now for my wild bird food. I have never been disappointed with the quality of the food. The added bonus is the next day delivery service if ordered by 3.00pm. Never been let down by this.
I have been using Croston Corn Mill for…
I have been using Croston Corn Mill for almost 2 years now, their range of products, customer service and delivery is all fantastic, I would never consider looking anywhere else.
Excellent company
I have been using Croston Corn Mill for several years. I order bulk sunflower seeds for the wild birds. The prices are very good, the quality is excellent and delivery is always very quick and reliable. They also give loyalty points which saves a little money. I am a very satisfied customer. Highly recommended! Thank you!
Amazing customer service
Amazing customer service. Being the dip that I am, I ordered completely the wrong item one evening and emailed them that night once I’d realised. They rang me back first thing the following morning to rectify. Extremely helpful. Was the first time I had used this company and I will definitely be using them from now on for all my poultry goods.
Review from Ireland
I live in Southern Ireland and have used Croston Mill for a good few years now. The prices are great compared with the few choices in Ireland. What I find AMAZING is the swift delivery! Last week I ordered on Friday, got a message that my 29 kilos of sunflower seeds were dispatched on the same day, and received them on MONDAY!! That never happens with any other online orders! Our wild birds love these extra nutritious black sunflower seeds which are hulled to save crucial time and energy for the birds and have kept them going for many a long and occasionally hard Winter. I even enjoy watching the local rooks capering around trying to steal some out of the feeders or even managing to sometimes wrestle the feeder down and gleefully enjoying the small pile of tasty seeds that spill from the lid. I even give them their own little share which they polish off pretty quickly. How can one not love and respect such an intelligent bird after all?
Crosstown Corn Mill for your customers sake reconsider your choice of Carrier
Cannot comment on my order from Croston Corn Mill as have not received it today as promised, the carrier they engaged to deliver the Item has chosen not to deliver within the 16 hour time slot they had allocated to me this very morning or even deliver it at all today.
I believe that after reading a few of the previous reviews from customers in France, perhaps it is time Croston Corn Mill put its customers first and ditched its current unreliable carrier and got the French carriers to deliver instead via France.
Excellent service and delivery to…
Excellent service and delivery to France as usual. Best designed website I've used (for anything). Thanks very much.
The best company in every respect
The best company in every respect. All wild bird food is without exception extremely fresh and of top quality. Mealworms especially welcome by all species :-) I know that if I am running low I can order and my purchase will arrive within 2 days max. I have never had an issue that would result in the need to contact but I would not hesitate to do so if needed as other reviewers are 100% satisfied with Croston's customer service. Our garden is always filled with birds (when their body clock tells them that it's time to eat:-)) All feeders are cleared within a day which proves just how good the products are as we've purchased food in the past from other sellers (before discovering Croston) and the birds have ignored it. 'The proof of the pudding is literally in the eating.' Thank you all at Croston for going the extra mile as we all benefit from a healthy wild bird population.
The friendliest
The friendliest, most helpful people, it feels like talking to old friends when I place an order. It's a wonderfully fast delivery and a very competitive price. Most importantly, the seed is always really good quality, almost no waste, and attracts a remarkably wide range of birds to my little garden. I wish there were more organisations as reliable as this and as pleasant to work with.
Bought 5kg mealworms
Bought 5kg mealworms - less than half the price of the local garden centre and cheapest that I could find on the internet. They arrived the next day very well packaged and look really good quality. The birds love them!
Would happily buy from them again and would recommend to all!
Great quality from these guys every…

Another great first class delivery to France, in 4 days, would have been two if the weekend had not been involved.

BRILLLIANT COMPANY TO DEAL WITH & QUALITY ITEMS
I can honestly say that this company is one of the the best (if not the best!) I have dealt with! I order wild bird supplies from them and without exception delivery is always next day, All the seed, nuts, mealworms ordered are the best quality and best prices. I have been a customer of theirs for many years and not once have been let down on quality, price and service.
Excellent
Excellent, excellent service. Goods always delivered the day after ordering by DPD. ( Why do other companies not use DPD for deliveries?). I have no qualms about recommending Croston Corn Mill Ltd. 5star all the way.
