They are very responsive and easy to contact. I've ordered from them several times and never had a problem. They are very professional!

If you know your Kola Kubes from your Cola Bottles and your Comfits from your Spogs, you're definitely one of our kind of people! And even if you don’t, we're always willing to share the ancient art of retro magic - all you need is a love of sweets! The bad news is that as good as we are, we can’t roll back time to the good old days when a ‘10p mix up’ got you a paper bag bursting with sweets from your local sweet shop. In fact, these days you’d be lucky if you can find your local sweet shop! But don’t despair, the good news is that we have more retro sweets than you can shake a jelly stick at…or a jelly baby, a jelly snake, a jelly ring (we could continue, but we think you get what we’re saying!). And you don’t even need to leave the comfort of your sofa to get your hands on our retro sweets. Whether you need to get the perfect birthday/anniversary/Valentines/Christmas present (delete as required!) or you just want to treat yourself - we have something for everyone and any budget! The only tough thing you need to do, is decide which sweet to eat first!

Not delivered and trying to charge for redelivery

Ordered some sweets for my old man for fathers day, his favourites. 5 days later and they haven't been delivered, no communication from the company to say this. When I enquire, they say the delivery company can't find the address and want to charge £5, for an order a little over a tenner to redeliver. Absolute daylight robbery.

Love, love, love!

Ordered some pick and mix for my child’s party. The website is easy to use and they have a great selection. To start with I thought the prices were a little high but, after looking around I quickly came back to order. With free next day delivery and fantastic customer service I think the price is great. The sweets have just arrived and my child is delighted! The sweets taste great and I’m sure the children will love them. To be honest so will the adults too. I have already ordered more!

I've just bought a gift and I must say the prices seem very reasonable for what you are ordering. I think the website is easy to navigate and I love the variety. I look forward to seeing how they arrive.

Many thanks!

In these difficult circumstances

In these difficult circumstances, it was great to see a supplier that could offer the sweets that I wanted to sent out to the team, and the timeframe in which they could do it.

Thank you!

Nice idea, poor values, not suitable as a gift otherwise people will think you are tight.

Got given a subscription for Christmas, initial box was a mix of 5 different hand made sweets (well I assumed they were) but second box was a selection you could get a Poundland for £2-3 (and get at least twice the amount). The person that sent me the subscription was so angry that they had produced such a low value item, they then told me that they paid £12 per box (£36 for a 3 month subscription) for something that is worth £2-3 at best (including profit), £5 if you include postage.

My recommendation is don't give this as a gift as it will be underwhelming compared to what you paid for it.

Just a little bit more

Looking forward to receiving my Sweet box for my sweet mad little Girl. Great selections and box varieties, just wish there was a little bit more in the box, as I could probably make the same box up at about 30% less from local shops. Maybe it's just because like my little girl, I can never have enough sweets ;-)

My wife just loves Flying Saucers and Bubbly Gums but I could not find any at all, as I wanted them as a surprise sweet treat for under the Christmas Tree. I cam across the website Retro Sweets and was ecstatic to find everything that I needed and more. The ordering process was smooth and easy to complete. Top Notch, I will be ordering more in the future.
