Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 391 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people reported significant issues with their orders, frequently receiving incomplete, incorrect, or damaged items. Customers also frequently experienced substantial delays in delivery, with some orders never arriving at all, despite promises of faster shipping. Reviewers highlighted a widespread lack of communication, with emails and calls often going unanswered, making it difficult to resolve problems. Many consumers struggled to obtain refunds for missing or incorrect items, often facing unresponsiveness even when a refund was promised. However, some customers also noted that a few orders did arrive quickly and with all items present and safely packaged. A few other people also felt that the product selection was good, and some even received immediate refunds or rectifications for issues, though this was not the common experience.

Missing £10 cupcakes from my order, but customer service replied once then ghosted me. Do not order from this company! Sadly i hadn’t looked for reviews before ordering.

Awful experience

Awful experience - they don't even respond to emails and you cannot reach them any other way. Items were incredibly late despite gauranteed xmas delivery time, and when recieved several items were missing and damaged. still can't sort out a return/refund as they don't even acknowledge you!

This is a fraudulent company

This is a fraudulent company, in my opinion. CLaimed order was shipped but no record of it, cannot get any response in three months of attempting contact. You are throwing money away by spending it here.

Avoid purchasing from these

Placed an order 2nd Jan. Received email 10th Jan saying order had been dispatched. No tracking information received. Now into Feb and still no order. Emailed customer service twice and failed to receive a response to any of them. Very poor and disappointing service. Avoid!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Absolutely appalling service.
Paid in full, received half the order, invoice has 2 items crossed out but no apology, no offer of refund.
No reply to emails.
I dont often write negative reviews but this customer service is appalling.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
Wish I had seen the reviews b4!

Avoid this company

Order placed in December has never arrived and, despite requests, a refund not issued. Do not use this company.

Didn’t receive my order

Ordered in the middle of January, got an email saying it was shipped but no tracking number as it said I would receive. Contacted them via email 3 times as it was end of January and I hadn’t received anything. I was met with a bot response the first time saying someone would get in touch but nothing of that sort ever happened. Completely scammed me out of my money. Absolutely do not purchase from here under any circumstance! They just steal your money and you don’t even receive what you paid for.

Company in financial difficulty

Like every other review on here items were ordered and never received. No response to emails, when I raised a dispute through Clearpay they were provided a fake tracking number for Royal Mail when nothing had been despatched. Just waiting on Clearpay resolving. Company obviously in financial difficulties so avoid at all costs

Due to be a gift

Due to be a gift. No order arrival after a Fortnite & after multiple email attempts no feedback whatsoever. Avoid these frauds at all costs!

Absolute joke of a company

Absolute joke of a company, placed an order, got a dispatch email with no tracking, disputed it through bank an suddenly got a tracking email and it was going to be delivered, sent numerous emails telling them not to send it, it’s turned up today and they have sent packs of 4 in things that should be 8, packs of 6 that should be 12 and half the other items missing, it’s theft, I’ve emailed them again, I’ve taken photos and videos and will keep going with my bank and trying to return until I get a full refund. Avoid at all costs! This was a birthday present and how disappointing, I’ll make sure no one orders from this company ever again

SCAM

Ordered a bunch of stuff, including root beer and cream soda etc and they sent me one 7 up. Not one thing in my order was what I ordered, they chuck in what you could buy for cheap at the local shop then don’t reply to any emails or messages online. SCAM!!!

Awful experience

Awful experience. I ordered on the 12th January and its 27th January and still no order. I've had very few replies from them and requested a refund.

I placed an order 30/12 and hadn’t received the parcel as of 17/1 even though it said it was en route. Customer service quickly did reply and sent a replacement - although the replacement parcel was incorrect, 5 of the 9 items were incorrect. I chased on the 21st but didn’t hear back and chased again

Absolutely dreadful company to deal with! I ordered 3 boxes of Pancake mix but received just 1 box!! This was last November 2025. Forward to January 2026 still nothing. Despite several emails, there has been NO response at all from the company. Cowboys and theives - DO NOT BUY from this company.
