After reading previous comments I was concerned that I wasn't going to receive my order or it would have missing items. I have to say I was very happy. Arrived on time and nicely packaged too. So a po... See more

Sweet purchase

I purchased some sweets for my children and for grandparents to be able to have as a treat during isolation.

Delivery was prompt, grandparents and children were pleased with sweets.

It’s been some years since I last…

It’s been some years since I last shopped at AQuarterof and having a desire for some candy back from my childhood, I went ahead and made a purchase yesterday.

The ordering process was easy (with a really good selection of candy available), and within just a few hours I had notification that the order had been dispatched. Today the postman delivered my goodies to me.

The candy is so good! I love the branded bags that the candy came in too. The service and quality of goods is as good as, if not better, than I remember from AQuarterof.

Good expiry dates too, with the earliest being November 2020, and most others being 2021.

A real blast from my childhood. Thank you AQuarterof.

Sweet!

Great sweet shop with all your old favourites. Fast delivery, well packaged, postage a bit high but I guess sweets are heavy. Recommended to all.

What a great company to deal with

What a great company to deal with. Ordered twice from this company. Had s slight issue with the first order but the service made up for this. The service is second to none. Fast, friendly and personalised, please don’t ever loose this aspect. Oh ..... and the sweets etc bring back memories from the past and are of great quality too

No complaints from this Cookie Monster!

From start to finish the experience was nice and simple. Despite ordering things I didn't necessarily want/need they arrived well packaged and in a good time.

However, if there's anyone out there that can remember the "sour Vimto bars", please let me know! I haven't been able to find them since the early 2000's, and thought I may have been mistaking them for "WHAM" bars... which I now know I wasn't!

Highly Recommended

I have used A Quarter Of several times now and have never had an issue with them. Great selection, good prices and phenomenal customer service. They always respond to emails quickly. On one occasion, an item I had ordered went out of stock after ordering, I had an email from them to advise me before my order shipped and they refunded me straight away. Can’t fault them at all, highly recommend them to anyone.

Great Variety

I have been shopping here for years now. Always a great selection and they are never out of stock!

My only gripe is that the quality of some of the sweets aren't always what I expect (pint pots and fizzy cola bottles in particular) but on the whole can't complain.

Excellent site and even better service !!! 10 out of 10

Should you ever consider ordering sweets for yourself, your relatives and/or friends, do order them at Aquarterof.co.uk !!! So much to choose from, but even better: the friendly, kind and very efficient service. There was a slight problem with my delivery and I cannot remember when I have been helped so friendly and so well! In spite of the minor problems (NOT with Aquarterof but with Fedex, mind you!), the parcel was still delivered within a week. So as far as I am concerned: 10 out of 10 !!!!
I wish this company many more happy customers!!!!

Blast from the past.

If you have fond childhood memories of your favourite sweets and confectionery and find yourself wondering where Spangles went, or if they still make tom thumbs, then pop into this website. There is a host of good old fashioned sweets that will bring memories flooding back. Ordering is simple and there is a great selection of gift ideas too, but why would you want to share, unless of course it really is the last Rolo.
