Good experience

I selected pick up as I'm local to the business. The order was ready quickly. The only issue I had was finding their location in the business park.

It’s really disappointing that you’ve not had the excellent service we aim for and we will of course look into this. In the meantime if you’d like to drop us an email I’ll be happy to arrange some compensation for you and hopefully explain why your order took longer than estimated.

Easy to order, slightly disappointed with contents as there was alot in the box I could've purchased from places like b&ms. But children enjoyed it. Delivery took longer than expected but that's not the company's fault evri had it for 4 days before they sent it out for delivery

Hi Leah

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. Sometimes we may have to extend your dispatch time slightly and when we do we will always contact you with a clear explanation and I’m glad to see we managed to get in touch with you and that you received our notification.

Unfortunately as a small business we do rely on a third party courier to deliver our parcels and the further delay caused by Evri was out of our control so it’s disappointing that this has reflected in our scores and I can only apologise on their behalf. It’s rare that delays do happen with the majority of our orders arriving within 1-2 working days. I hope you will order from us again and your delivery will be of a better experience from our couriers.

Many thanks

Hi Sam, thanks for your review.

I’m surprised you wouldn’t have contacted us first to let us know your parcel hasn't arrived as this is the first we have heard about this. I have checked your tracking and the parcel is showing as at the sorting centre. Once your order is with the courier any delays are out of our control unfortunately

This review implies we never sent your order when in fact you have been sent accurate and transparent tracking information, and honest about the delay. It’s extremely disappointing you would damage our reputation on Trustpilot before giving us the opportunity to resolve this by email first.

We have been in touch with the courier to ascertain how long the delay to the order will be. We can look at issuing a replacement order if their response isn’t satisfactory.

Not really happy.

Parcel came a few days later after ordering there, not really happy about the order if I'm honest as half the stuff me or my children couldn't eat due to spiciness crisps etc or funny taste ( drink)

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

As your ordered a mystery box the contents and flavours are picked at random. If there are particular flavours (such as spice) that you don't like you have the option to leave a note a checkout or order individual items from our website based on your preferences. Unfortunately we cannot accommodate all tastes when choosing items at random.

It's extremely disappointing that we weren't contacted in person before this review, our small friendly team would have been happy to put things right for you. We do hope you managed to enjoy some of your items that you received and hope to see you again soon and would be happy to assist you with any future enquiries about our products.

Many thanks

Mostly good

Good service, good range of products, reasonable prices. The only suggestion I have for improvement is either change your courier or improve your packaging as DPD had all but demolished the box that you used.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review and feedback. We work really hard a small business and team to provide excellent service. As part of this, we use a range of couriers based on the size and weight of your order to pass on the cheapest possible rates to customers. We are very sorry on this occasion that packaging suffered damage which can occur during transit. We invest a lot of money in double-strength boxes and packaging and will take this feedback on board for future reference.

It's lovely to hear that you're pleased with your order and our service. We look forward to serving you again soon!
