I came across this site on Facebook and was delighted to see some sweets from my childhood, i.e. white chocolate drops, Oddfellows and butternuts. Well, what could I do but buy them, and boy, I was n... See more

I was skeptical after reading the reviews but there was no need to be as everything was fantastic. The 10p bags were great and included a good little mix, worth way more than 10p and really does take... See more

Buy your treats elsewhere
I ordered a best before bundle RRP 12.99 on sale at £4.99 plus postage of £4. Mainly sour sweets recieved.
I costed the sweets received as follows
2.99+0.26+1.79+2.29+2+1.5=10.83
Given they were Best Before date not as I’d expected.

DONT BOTHER ABSOLUTE JOKE
DONT BOTHER ABSOLUTE JOKE
ALL THE CHOCOLATE WAS MELTED AND NO REFUND OFFERED OR EVEN A REPLACEMENT. All I got was a load of flannel due to the hot weather. Wouldn’t have minded a refund or replacement but this was not offered. Will
Never use again and have found a better supplier. Honestly look elsewhere this company does not even deserve a 1 star review. Joes joke sweetie shop! Absolute clowns working here.

As per the constant spamming of our facebook page and threats of negative reviews you have yet again not explained the situation. I will fully explain below.
We have a notice on our website for extremely hot weather in which case Paul this applies to your area it reads as follows "WEATHER WARNING - PLEASE ORDER AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION - EXTREME HEAT IN SOME AREAS - HEAT DAMAGE CANNOT BE REFUNDED"
This is placed at the very top of our website to advise before ordering regarding tne potential melting of items such as chocolate and in this situation you ordered chocolate that melted Paul - that is the 100% truth of what has happened here.
You are now spamming our facebook page with comment such as "Hope it all goes pear shaped for you" and that if we refunded you you wouldn't leave prolonged feedback and 1 star reviews.
As we mentioned on at least 5 occassions we are more than happy for you to leave feedback all we ask is you leave fully details of the full situation yet on every single occassion you have failed to do so.
Disappointed
First time ordering from this company. Very disappointed. Ordered 600g of tootie Frutti, the only resemblance to the original sweet is they are square other than that a bland chewy sweet hardly any flavour. No hard sugar coated outside and the most flavoursome colours like purple and red missing.
Also really wanted some Liqourice so ordered liquorice rock. No email to say out of stock or ask if I’d like to order an alternative just the disappointment of opening the box the see a receipt saying refunded. Not sure I’ll use again the tootie fruttis being the biggest disappointment really cheap copy.
After reading your reply it would appear you don’t really care to much what customers think. I have since read other reviews which also slate these tootie fruttis. Maybe the name is a little to close to the original which people seek to remind them of a childhood favourite. Regardless they are poor.(maybe one for trading standards)
Also no mention about the liquorice issue.
I paid good money for these. I guess maybe I should have purchased a small bag that way I wouldn’t be throwing so much money in the bin. Thank you for your service.

Hi Barry, your review is based on which i can only assume is roundtrees Tooty Frooties - we do not stock them nor claim to! Those sweets were discontinued years ago. You purchased Tutti Frutti Bites - this is a completely different product.
*Updated as per customer update*
The liquorice item was refunded as It wasn't in stock at the time of dispatch which we absolutely apologise for! Over the years we have done numerous case studies and 90% pf customers prefer this process rather than further day with emails etc.
Tutti frutti is a flavour not a product, we list the manufacturer in the product description - taste is completely preference, something you may not enjoy someone else will love, this product is actually one of our most popular returning customer purchases.
Also stating we don't care is completely off the mark! You left a 1 star review in comparison to a completely different product that is no longer manufactured and in your follow up referencing "trading standards" all we are doing is responding with truth and facts as we appreciate the trust pilot platform and that anyone reading reviews should be presented with all accurate information.

Bit disappointed of the 10p offer
I ordered some sweets couple of months ago which was great, so I thought I would get the 10p offer, but with delivery it cost over £4 when the sweets arrived bit disappointed as only had 4 sweets was expecting just a few more than that

Hi Joanna, we actually lose money on the 10p Mix up bags - we create them to give customers a Nostalgic feeling as you cannot get 10p mixups anywhere!
The delivery choice is shown before customers proceed through checkout and we would always encourage adding more than just 2 10p bags if its value for money you are looking for as our tracked shipping fee is a set rate due to courier charges. We offer FREE DELIVERY on orders over £40 and as im sure you can appreciate this would be impossible on a 10p order.

Never got my ordered goods. NO communication at all with any explanation. NO refund
Funny I never had anything from the company about this until I leave a review then even on a Sunday I get a response asking for direct contact FYI I HAVE AND YOU HAVE NOT RESPONDED. SHAME ON YOU. LOOK FORWARD TO A 1 STAR REVIEW EVERY DAY UNTIL YOU DO RESPOND.

Hi, if you send us a message we can investigate as of now we have no idea of any details whatsoever.
Once we have an order number etc we can investigate, rather than leave a 1 star review stating the above when we have currently never had a chance to rectify the situation send us a message and we will resolve the matter!
It may be the order was lost in transit and if so we can ensure the matter is fully resolved but as mentioned above we currently have no details.
**WE ARE ASKING YOU TO MESSAGE US SO WE CAN LOOK INTO THE SITUATION! - CURRENTLY WE HAVE NO ORDER NUMBER OR THEREFORE WE HAVE NOONE TO CONTACT. WE ARE LITERALLY TRYING TO RESOLVE IT ALL WE ASK IS YOU MESSAGE US SO WE CAN RESPOND AND INVESTIGATE**
**Found your message in the spam folder from a few hours ago Stephen, we will investigate and sort this asap!**
Arrived today
Arrived today , ordered far too much but will go down well at work with the greedy mechanics 😁, so nice to have the blasts from the past , quick delivery love them Thankyou 🥰

Hi Monica,
I have just checked your order and you ordered 100g of Liquorice Allsorts and 100g of Original Jelly Babies both priced at £1.49 each.
Please explain what is a rip off? That is actually a very competitive price for the original brands also the price and weight are clearly shown before purchase.
