Wonderful service from the One World…

Wonderful service from the One World shop, somewhere I used to love visiting when I lived in Edinburgh. First of all the website is full of beautiful unusual and useful fair trade items, and my order came quickly, carefully packed, no plastic involved .Information provided about the background of each item and how the communities themselves benefit is reassuring and inspiring to read.The shop took care to message me about one item being unavailable and removed this from the bill. I spoke to someone as I was considering a return of some earrings-and they were extremely helpful, however I decided to keep everything as the quality was superb.It’s the first time I’ve ordered online from them and I highly recommend the service.Christmas shopping with a heart for people and the planet, rather than the commercial experience of some “ major retailers” well done One World Shop!

Like IKEA but 100% better!

You can never go into the shop and come out without buying anything! Excellent range of stock from some wonderful producers. I love my earrings and have now got a Christmas sorted for several on my list. Staff are always helpful and friendly.

My favourite shop in Edinburgh

My favourite shop in Edinburgh, and since lockdown I've use the online service regularly for fairtrade staples and treats. Deliveries are quick and reliable, and the one time an item wasn't in stock the refund was processed almost instantly.

Thank you from across the (one) world.

Living in New Zealand, we were having difficulty finding the One World Calendar for 2022 which we wanted as Christmas presents. Then I found the One World shop in the UK. Although they did not seem to have a facility to send overseas, I have a NZ Post forwarding address in the UK, which enabled me to get it sent there, and NZ Post did the rest - for an extra fee, of course. Nevertheless, thrilled with the prompt, helpful and friendly responses from Lorna who reassured me that my order was fulfilled, and they arrived here yesterday. Truly happy to recommend this organisation and their great work Robert B

Beautiful range of items and cards

After receiving a gift voucher from One World Shop, I put in an order from their online site. The items arrived well packaged and are stunning - I particularly love the beautiful range of bird art cards and Christmas cards. Communication was good and delivery was faster than expected. I will have to visit the store in person!

Wonderful Shop

I stumbled across this shop online when looking for a specific fair trade item (which they had.) Have since ordered from them a second time and am so pleased with everything I ordered. Arrived promptly and very well packaged. Will definitely be buying from this lovely shop again, only wish I was nearer to Edinburgh and could drop in in person but live about 400 miles away!!

Excellent Service

Excellent service, and the packaging and delivery was fine. They are one of the few to have the soap that I was looking for. This is the second time that I have ordered from them, and I am very happy and would recommend and use them again.
