No reliable method of contact when things go wrong

While the items I ordered were reasonably priced and delivered in time, it would appear these people are impossible to contact.

The item was left by the front doo in full view of the road and no attempt was made by the delivery driver to ring the bell, He just dropped it and left. Fortunately, we caught sight of him going out of the gate, so were able to retrieve the package quickly, this avoiding any risk of it being stolen. It's a good thing we were not away!

I emailed the company at the address supplied on their app, but it was returned "because the Domain Name System (DNS) for the destination computer is not configured correctly." I double checked the address, which could not have been wrong as I clicked on it on their app. then tried again, but same response.

I then tried to leave a message on the "returns" page, so clicked on the link and it didn't work!!

I am relieved to have at least received the items, but never again will I buy anything from this company.

American recipe

Found what I wanted easily. I needed this to be able to successfully make up a recipe that my sister used in USA. Was kept up to date with the progress of my order. Delivered fast and well wrapped.

Where I live there is only one variety…

Where I live there is only one variety of knoppers so when I found World Food Shop I was delighted. I was even more delighted when they were selling more varieties of knoppers. The ordering and payment process was straight forward which made everything enjoyable. Thank you.
