BRILLIANT COMPANY

I am so impressed with this company I would give it 10 stars if I could!! I placed an order for a 'thank you gift' and the recipient was absolutely delighted. If a company deserves this excellent review then this is it.

Highest Standard of Feedback Acted On

Saw the owner on Dragons Den who didn’t get an investment.
Decided to support a local business.
Ordered a hamper on October 19th 2025 for delivery on 22nd December 2025 for my friends 60th Birthday on 23rd December 2025.
2 Months lead time.
No communication after the initial order.
Order didn’t arrive on the 22nd or 23rd December.
Sent an email on 23rd which I got an automatic reply from on 24th blaming DPD & the Christmas rush which in my case not relevant as the order was placed in October.
Still no formal reply on December 24th from the email.
Tried the telephone all morning on 24th which was engaged.
After 3 hours I got through to the answer machine which advised me from the message to try an email or use the chat function on their Web Site.
Still no reply from the telephone message I left after 2 hours.
Now tried the Chat Function as advised so I typed a comprehensive chat on the 24th.
1 hour later no reply from that either.
The whole process is a disaster from the order not arriving for this 60th Birthday which will never happen again.
3 forms of Media used to contact them to try and get it resolved.
Media used Telephone, EMail & Chat,
Perhaps the Dragons were correct and it’s not a feasible workable business.
My advise is to use another company for this type of gifting.
All the Time the clock is clicking down to there closing for the day @ 14:00hrs because it’s Christmas Eve.
It’s now 13:30 so presume it’s no going to resolved maybe in the New Year

However on the 29th December the owner of Imp & Maker Sarah Louise Fairburn replied to my email who was horrified with the situation.

She explain that the new ordering system hand failed in the case of my order & a staff member who was manning the office on Christmas Eve had to go home because of a relative who had died in horrendous circumstances in a road accident at a very young age.

I was offered a full refund and another hamper was to be sent out on that day free of charge.

This all happened and on 30th December my friend had received his hamper which was of an old incredibly good standard of contents & presentation.

Sarah Louise Fairburn the owner has called me this afternoon 2/1/26 with her personal apology and offered me a hamper to which I declined as I thought I had been fully compensated already.

We were invited to visit the premises at anytime.

The visit to her distribution centre & factory on 5th Jan 2026 has been arranged.

I don’t think in my 70 plus years of shopping that Ihave ever felt that any feedback I have provided has been dealt with so professionally.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review. Very pleased that we have been able to turn this negative into a positive. We are incredibly grateful to customers like you especially those who watched us on Dragons’ Den and decided to give us a try to support us.

We are deeply sorry that this particular order didn’t arrive as planned for such an important birthday. We have invested heavily in our systems, and due to a rare technical error, unfortunately, your order was one of the few orders not received by our factory system. The system is now fully working, and this wouldn't happen again. As soon as this was discovered, we resent the hamper and issued a full refund to ensure the situation was resolved.

Thank you again for your order. Our founder, Sarah Louise, was pleased to speak to you so we can get better as a business - we hope to help you with many more gifts to come. Wishing you a wonderful 2026.

I expected better from a small business

Unfortunately, the tomahawk hamper I ordered for my fiancé as a Christmas gift was not dispatched in time, despite booking a delivery date in advance for a carefully planned surprise. It means I have no present to give and left me having to make last-minute alternative arrangements for Christmas dinner. While the staff were pleasant when I called, no compensation or acceptable solution was offered for what was a very disappointing situation, leaving me with no choice but to cancel the order. I understand that issues can arise, but given the timing at Christmas, this was especially upsetting, and the lack of any corrective effort has made me unlikely to use this company again.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we’re truly sorry for the disappointment caused. Unfortunately we were let down by our Tomahawk provider and we fully understand how upsetting this must have been, especially given the importance of the occasion and the care you took in planning a Christmas surprise.

While we’re glad to hear our team were pleasant when you contacted us, we sincerely regret that we fell short both in meeting the delivery expectations and in offering a resolution that felt fair or reassuring at the time. The full refund was given in lieu of not being able to fulfil your order however this is not the level of service we aim to provide, particularly during such an important time of year.

Your feedback has been taken on board and will be reviewed internally so we can improve how we handle time-sensitive orders and customer support in similar situations. We genuinely regret losing your trust and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

If you would like to discuss this further, we would welcome the opportunity to do so directly.

Another great experience...

Per my previous experience the recipient loved their Luxury afternoon tea and fizz hamper... I love the fabulously curated and quality contents of the hampers that I can choose from for friends and family ... and the customer service responsiveness is second to none.
Keep up the great work, team !

Two Little Gift Boxes for N Ireland

The company supplied two gift baskets for people who happened to live in N Ireland. Unfortunately, the website didn't make clear that certain items couldn't be delivered fresh there. They contacted me to offer replacement items of equal value and this was sorted quickly. The recipients were very happy. Would be 5 stars if the website had a little warning regarding delivery addresses in N Ireland.

Dear Ronnie, Thank you so much for your lovely review, apologies that our website was not clear about the fresh being shipped to Northern Ireland, we have been reviewing this and making a few changes to the site - but we always want our produce to arrive in tip top condition to be enjoyed so there are no unpleasant side effects 🙂 we are glad the team could arrange a suitable alternative

Sorted out my idiocy…

I managed to send my gift about 300 miles from where it was supposed to be by one Mia types letter in the post code- they were AMAZING! Sorting it all out/ recalling the package/ sending out a new one - I cannot recommend enough

Most beautiful products

Most beautiful products, value for money and service is second to none. A big mistake I made was immediately rectified by the lovely Maria, despite being entirely my fault, she couldn’t have been more helpful. My friends were delighted with their gift and I will use IMP&MAKER again.
