Above Excellent company.

Have used 'Bottle in a Box' on 2 occasions for my adult children's Birthdays.
Extremely pleased on each occasion for their wine hamper gifts, which created delight. High quality products with exquisite presentation. Both arrived on time. Excellent customer service for something I had to change post order. My request was acknowledged promptly & received a personal touch.
Will be using again, I would highly recommend.

Had a really disappointing experience…

Had a really disappointing experience with this company. After ordering for a 18th birthday present which was not delivered I was then offered ( not yet received)a refund minus delivery fee. I would not recommend or use this company again !! A deliverable gift company with the worst delivery policies!!

An absolultye farcical company.

An absolultye farcical company.

Order 7 hampers for Christmas for one of my main clients and they failed at every single turn.

The delivery commay failed to deliver, claimed they could not access the site (it is a working office!!). Since then failed on every count.

They then went on to ask our client ot collect the hampers (how embarassing!!). They did so today and only 3 of the 7 hampers were there.

Where are the rest??? May explain why they did not deliver - the hampers got 'lost' somewhere.

I will never use these again, and I still await my hampers.

Shocking service.

The response is wrong also. The delivery address was spot on

Still no delivery.

We are very sorry about this! The delivery wasn't made the first and second time as the address provided had missing information therefore the couriers were unable to locate it.
The Parcels were sent out again with the updated address for some reason they were delivered to a pick up shop. The remaining parcels, we have contacted the couriers and this is being investigated, we are working to rectify the situation asap. We have done everything correctly on our side and responded to you timeously, unfortunately the couriers haven't been good on this occasion; couriers are out of our control once the parcels leave us.

I used this company for the first time

I used this company for the first time. I have been so impressed and it has been a positive experience. Super fast delivery. Beautifully packaged gifts. Definitely value for money.
I was kept informed of what was happening to my order.
I have since used the company again, and once again have been impressed.

Really good experience

Really easy to order, and had a nice after sale phone call from them offering help with the included message which I hadn’t completed.
Very happy with their service and would recommend.

Has this company gone quietly bust?

I've used this company before and absolutely love their gift sets. However, I can only assume that they've gone bust and have forgotten to shut down their website? I can't place any orders. I've tried ordering different items just in case it was one product giving me an issue, but every time I complete entering addresses and gift notes, I click next to enter payment information and get a blank screen... every time without fail. Nothing loads and refreshing does nothing. This happens on my Samsung phone, my wife's MacBook and my standard Windows laptop. I've tried getting in touch with this company. Twitter and Instagram goes unanswered and the contact us form on their website doesn't work. So very disappointing.

Dreadful customer service gift delivered to the wrong address and…

Gift delivered to the wrong address and when I contact customer services advised that either the person I sent it to goes and gets the parcel themselves from the address it went to or I wait for the courier to go and retrieve it which could take 3-5 working days and if they don’t give the parcel I essentially lose the money paid for the gift!

Beautiful Gift box

Found this site on line. Lovely birthday box with personalised card inside. A beautiful 70th birthday present. Arrived as expected on our chosen day. I would recommend this company for a special gift!

Purchased a few boxes from this company…

Purchased a few boxes from this company over the last month or two, as a thank you gift to my clients. Love the personalised cards and my clients are always very grateful for their gift sets. I purchase the “Thank You” gift box every time and they go down a treat! Lots of other boxes available though, for whatever occasion suits. Thanks for making it such a simple and hassle free process Bottle in a Box.

Ordered for a 60th birthday

Ordered for a 60th birthday. Gift set was delivered on the chosen date and my mother in law loved it. She sent me over some pictures and the box was beautifully presented and she loved the gin. Definitely recommend!

A £50 gift was left outside in the open

Ordered a nice Whisky gift set for an 80th Birthday, the delivery date was scheduled but unfortunately the chosen courier service decided to leave the £50 gift on the floor outside the front door and then took a photo of the gift on the floor and also a notice on the front door which read 'Please leave in Porch'. Unfortunately the gift went 'missing' as it wasn't left in the safe place requested. Bottle in a Box advised that as this wasn't raised with them within 7 days of delivery (presumably the period in their T & C's with DPD) there is nothing they can do - I would have expected something as a gesture rather than hide behind the courier they use! So, to conclude, I was happy with the product ordered (it looked really nice on the website) but not much value out of £50 as the recipient never received his gift!!

The reply from BIAB really does sum up their customer service, it's not their fault it's the customers!
If you want to send a birthday gift to someone through this company don't forget to ring the recipient within 7 days to see if they actually received it!!!!

This is a very unfair review!
It is very unreasonable to claim for a missing parcel after 2 months after the day the delivery was made. The couriers would normally go back to investigate any issues within 7 days but it took you 2 months to notify us of a missing parcel. You were notified by DPD when delivery was made to your intended recipient, it is up to you to check this was correctly delivered as per our T&C's.
