Never any stock

Never any stock. You go to check out and it says item not in stock. Always happens. No consistency at all.

Good range of products but the only problem is the massive boxes and excessive use of packaging materials they use, drives me mad.
You get metres of spare blue bubble wrap in all the boxes

Delivery company lets them down

The service and support is brilliant, sadly the delivery company you use is having an impact on your company. The DPD delivery driver is very rude and unhelpful.

Easy shopping Expensive delivery

Everything really good apart from delivery charge. Starting at £10-99 is a bit excessive & it only gets more expensive??

Not been in fir a while but I'll never go back to Sheffield branch ever again

Not been for a while since we've moved, went to Sheffield yesterday to buy s bag of walkers toffee, the number we used for nearly 10 years didn't work. Whoever it was who served me was so rude towards me, none of the older staff were in and he's clearly new. When I walked in, he looked at me as if I was a piece of dog crap. He's been like that with me how many others has he been like this with!!!!!!!
