Great Customer Service but broken Eggs :(

This is the second year I have ordered Easter eggs for everyone in my company, and the customer service is great. They are very responsive and proactive. However, when I received my order, a few of the eggs were broken. I ordered one for everyone in my company, so unfortunately a few people ended up with a damaged one.

My resent deliveries have been damaged…

My resent deliveries have been damaged with sugar strands all over my driveway,hallway. The time taken to hoover the mess and send photos and emails is ridiculous. The items got replaced but got lost by the parcel company not before arranging 2 scheduled appointments to deliver and not turning up. Finally I have a delivery and yet again damaged product. All they need to do is double bag the sugar strands as they have done sometimes in the past. I request this every time when I order.

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.
