Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 391 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people reported significant issues with their orders, frequently receiving incomplete, incorrect, or damaged items. Customers also frequently experienced substantial delays in delivery, with some orders never arriving at all, despite promises of faster shipping. Reviewers highlighted a widespread lack of communication, with emails and calls often going unanswered, making it difficult to resolve problems. Many consumers struggled to obtain refunds for missing or incorrect items, often facing unresponsiveness even when a refund was promised. However, some customers also noted that a few orders did arrive quickly and with all items present and safely packaged. A few other people also felt that the product selection was good, and some even received immediate refunds or rectifications for issues, though this was not the common experience.

Missing £10 cupcakes from my order, but customer service replied once then ghosted me. Do not order from this company! Sadly i hadn’t looked for reviews before ordering.

Do not order!!

Made an order on the 29th December. It says they were dispatched on the 8th January. Sent 4 emails and still not received my order or had any response. Disgusting and so unfair for the ones at a loss.

I wouldn't even rate this place 1 star

I wouldn't even rate this place 1 star! Taking peoples money and never delivering the orders. I put a post on a facebook group and was appalled at the amount of people who commented saying they didnt receive their orders either. Please avoid!

Theft and liars!

Took them 3 weeks to send out my parcel after saying they’d already sent it out. I only received half of my items even though they took the whole amount out my bank when they apparently sent my parcel so I’m out of pocket. Then to top it all off they never reply to any emails with any updates or even a im sorry here the money back for the items you didn’t receive. For saying they are a ‘big’ company they steal money from you! Don’t waste your time or money with this company!

Shipping takes weeks

Shipping takes weeks, feels like they using stackry to order the stuff as and when people order! Would be quicker to get it direct from the US. Don’t use this website

Customer service is an absolute joke

Customer service is an absolute joke!
i never actually received my order, I ordered mid November 2025. It’s January 2026 and iv given up trying to chase it up and come to terms it’s never going to arrive, £120 down the drain. My 3 kids but their money together and I chipped in to help them as they wanted to try some sweets from around the world. 3 very upset kids that now have no money and no sweets.

Placed an order on the 19th December…

Placed an order on the 19th December 2025 just received it this morning 17/01/26. Absolute, joke missing quite a few things. tried emailing a few times and never a response back. I would steer clear of this company; they really are NOT very customer-friendly.

Should have read the reviews!

Should have read the reviews!

As others have said - placed an order on the 17th of December hoping to get some bits as a Christmas gift but unfortunately missed the Christmas cut-off deadline (fair- enough). Received my order today (a full month later) only to find half of it missing! Hopeful for a refund.

I've been ghosted by this company

I ordered a few snack bars (Munch peanut) at the beginning of December hoping they'd arrive for Christmas. Unfortunately that didn't happen. So I contacted the company to ask if they were still on their way. I did not get reply. I've sent another message via their contact page asking if they were on the way or will I get a refund. Still no answer. I'll try again but it really seems as though I've lost my money. Such a shame as the concept is a good one and I'm willing to pay the premium for the goods.

No response

Made an order on 17th Dec.. Apparently it was dispatched on 23rd Dec but no sign of it. On their website they marked it as being 'fulfilled' but this is a lie. I have emailed multiple times and no response. Apparently you can no longer call their phone number 020 8129 2675 either. Awful company.

DO NOT order from this company

DO NOT order from this company! At the start of December 2025 I order 2 jars of American dill pickles. 10 days later I received a package containing 6 packets of peanut butter M&Ms! I immediately contacted them to request a return and reissue of my actual order and 3 times, at their request, I have sent them photos of the product they sent me instead of my order. I have had several vague and non committal replies to my MANY emails to them about this but obviously they STILL haven't replaced my items or refunded my money. Last week they said that they would send a courier to come and collect the incorrect delivery and once they had those items back they would resend my order. Just as well I knew better than to believe this because, of course, it didn't happen!! Absolute scam!

Absolute scam of a company

Absolute scam of a company. Ordered on 30.12.2025, it’s the 15.01.2026 today and still not received my order. Received a dispatch email with no tracking number over a week ago. Customer service do not reply. Scam scam scam! Avoid. I now have to go through my credit card company to get my money back, save yourself the hassle.

This is a scam

This is a scam! Ordered sweets for my grandchildren on 14th December, they never arrived. Automated email, no-one responding, cannot get my money back and have disappointed children. Shame on them
