Avoid this company if your order is…

Avoid this company if your order is even remotely urgent.

I placed my order on 24 June and didn't receive it until 4 July, despite paying for Premium Courier delivery. During that time I emailed them almost every day and was repeatedly told my order would be dispatched soon or within 24 hours.

What they failed to tell me until the very end was that they were holding my entire order because two silicone spatulas worth around £12 were out of stock. One simple email or phone call could have solved the problem immediately, but instead they kept me waiting for over a week.

Because of their poor communication and disorganized management, my business launch and council inspection schedule were delayed, causing unnecessary stress and financial loss. Ironically, an order I placed with Temu on the same day arrived at exactly the same time as my order from this UK supplier.

They chose to protect a £12 sale instead of looking after a customer. I will never use Buzz Catering Supplies again and cannot recommend them to anyone who values reliable service or honest communication.

Hi Koksal
Good morning
Please accept our apologies for the delay with your order I can confirm that I have located your order and can see the delivery date should have been 29th June but due to delay from the manufacturer and high demand this was delayed. I can see that we have issued a refund for the products cancelled and again please accept our apologies.

I purchased a six slice toaster and initially gave a 5 star review based on ordering and delivery. However on using the product, it does not toast the bread fully without turning the slices and the whole unit gets so hot that it is dangerous to touch. On raising the issue with Buzz on 23rd June I was asked to return the unit for service (when I don't think the product was fit for purpose and had asked for a replacement or refund) but having co-operated with the return I have heard nothing since. We have a busy cafe with no toaster - this is poor customer service - hence my new score of just one star!

Quick dispatch time

Quick dispatch time. I have been using buzzcathering for a while now and have been happy with its products. However, one of the products I purchased this time is in very subpar quality.

Really poor customer service

Really poor customer service,
No tracking details, not even a conformation email to say that the order has gone through successfully.
Ordered a toaster and arrived slightly damaged with the orange “ON” lights popped out, so I just pushed these back in, however only 1 side of 1 side of the toaster was toasting properly (one side was considerably more well done than the other side) for this price I wasn’t satisfied. Iv contacted them to arrange a collection but they seem to just fob you off saying Thereve contacted a supplier. Communication is really poor. I just wanted them to collect this awful toaster!
Raising a dispute with my bank Tomorw.
Won’t be using these ever again.

So bad they must do it on purpose.

No delivery information provided. There’s a ‘shipping’ email but it doesn’t have even a delivery date, let alone time, so I missed delivery of a glass washer as I didn’t know when to be on site.

I called to re-arrange and had a frustrating conversation with deliberately evasive Lucy, telling me she’s ‘requested’ it be delivered on a particular date:

Me “But does that mean it will be delivered that day?”
Lucy “Well I’ve requested it.”
Me “Yes, but does that doesn’t sound like it’s actually confirmed for that day?”
Lucy “Well I’ve requested it.”
Me “Yes but a ‘request’ can be approved or denied. Will it be delivered that day?”
Lucy “As I say, I have requested it.”
Me “Yes, I understand that. How will I know if it’s actually going to be delivered that day?”
Lucy “As I told you, I have requested it…”
Me “Yes, I understand you’ve requested it. I’m asking…”

This went on for a while. Eventually she confirmed it would be delivered that day. Predictably, it wasn’t. Instead they attempted delivery the day after - a day I’d specifically said I couldn’t be there.

Finally someone called saying they were from the courier firm, apparently as frustrated at being unable to deliver as I was to not get it. I arranged an 8 till 12 time slot for the next day. They showed up at 12:30.

Conversely, I used ECatering last week for another bulky item. Got a delivery email plus text message the night before giving me a two hour window, and I got a phone call 30 minutes before. Buzz can't even tell you what day something's arriving. Shocking.

Disappointing service

Ordered and after a week and a half had to e-mail to see when the products were arriving. Had a reply to say there had been an issue with their supplier. Would have been nice to have an e-mail saying that before I had to chase. Some glasses were broken when they arrived. The small oven dish I ordered was poor quality and I expected more for the £12 I paid. This was my second order from this company and I also had issues with the first. Would think twice before ordering again.

The items themselves were great but the delivery was very disappointing.

I paid extra for premium 24-hour courier delivery, expecting the order to arrive on the Thursday as I’d been told. Thursday came and went with no delivery. After emailing twice, I discovered that my order hadn’t been dispatched. It wasn’t sent until the day after it was supposed to have been delivered.

I asked for a refund of the premium delivery charge, but they refused, saying the 24-hour service only starts from the date of dispatch. The problem was that the dispatch was delayed because the items weren’t in stock, so I ended up paying extra for a faster delivery service that I couldn’t actually benefit from.
