Usually get a pallet delivery each week from the Glasgow depot, which is excellent. I placed a web order 4 days ago for items that were out of stock in Glasgow, and it still hasn’t been dispatched. The Glasgow staff are great, but the online ordering just isn’t worth the hassle anymore. The waiting times are getting worse, and I won’t be using the online service again. I’m not a small customer – I’ve been with Hancocks since 2010 and spend over £45k a year with Glasgow.

the extra mile

There was a mistake with the order and it was sent to the wrong place. Hancocks realised it was wrong and kept me informed of everything that was going on. All sorted now and n othing was too much trouble for Sammie.
Gives you faith in companies.

Expensive Delivery Costs

Product availability was good but the delivery costs seem quite steep. Product was of good quality.

Andrea was incredibly helpful

Andrea was incredibly helpful!

DPD had messed around with our delivery (the first time in years of us using Hancocks) - I called up for help on how to resolve this and Andrea was fabulous! She managed to get a new order sent out for me, refunded the delivery charge on my 1st parcel and is handling the issues with DPD to have the original order sent back to Hancocks as she was worried on how they would look when they eventually arrived to me.

Thank you so much!

Speedy delivery and everything packed well so only a couple of broken lollies this time (no biggie considering the way the couriers throw the boxes around!) Lol! Quality products too. xx

Hancocks are great

Hancocks are great, the sweets are amazing and a great price. Delivery is good, the sweets are very well packed with lots of bubble wrap (which my cats love getting afterwards!) Plenty of vegan choices too, I always use Hancocks, highly recommended.
