Marriages Plain Flour.

I absolutely love the marriages plain flour. It has a wonderful smooth fine & velvety texture. It makes the most fabulous biscuits & bread. I will not however be buying it again simply because the producers of this fantastic flour are forced to add folic acid. If the government remove this policy i would buy it again as it is one of the best i have used. As for the other flours I can not comment because they are a gift for someone.

Time wasters

The goods never got here. They fully support the courier's appalling behavior and are perfectly happy that I will suffer all the negative consequences of that. Yes they did refund me promptly: but what a waste of time. If you have no time to waste, avoid these people.

Flour grinder

Ordered the other half a corn mill grinder.
When it arrived it looked like a ex display item. The box was poorly packed and bashed.
Once opened the red dust guard was cracked. For some strange reason it's painted or coated in a silver paint? I can't understand why? Surly this will come off into the flour?
Marks out of 10... Sorry a 3.

Thank you for supplying the additional details through Trustpilot. We have now identified your order and are contacting you directly through our customer support team to understand what has happened and help resolve it.

Initially, we couldn’t match your reviewer name and description to an order or establish which product you meant. We also haven’t found any earlier contact with our support team about these concerns, so this review was our first opportunity to investigate.

We’re sorry to hear about the condition reported on arrival. We’ll discuss the packaging, cracked dust guard and your question about the finish with you directly, so we can check the details and advise on the appropriate next steps.

Disappointing experience and not at all customer friendly…

Disappointing experience and not at all customer friendly. Misleading ordering info for items.

Bakery Bits reply is inaccurate, we did not receive a reply addressing the complaint. In addition the further complaint was regarding the misleading website and order of a dough box that came without a lid even though the order implied that it was a complete set.

Thank you for providing some further details.

We can confirm that our customer service team responded by email to the complaint concerning your DPD delivery. We apologised for the inconvenience caused by the courier and confirmed that delivery had subsequently been completed. We’re sorry if you felt that your concerns weren’t fully addressed.

Regarding the dough box, this is the first time we’ve been able to identify that particular concern from the correspondence available to us.

Our dough boxes and their lids are sold separately, allowing customers to purchase whichever combination they require. However, we appreciate your feedback and will review the product information to ensure this is sufficiently clear.

We’re always happy to investigate genuine concerns and help resolve any misunderstandings.

not 10% off everything

I signed up to the 10% off subscriber offer, but the item I wanted to buy was not included. There was no mention of the exclusions on the email I received. A bit weird, and the customer service reply also seemed to lack any kind of empathy or concern. Will purchase what I want from another retailer.

We’re sorry that you were disappointed with our welcome discount offer.

Our 10% subscriber discount does have some exclusions, which are explained in the welcome email, together with a link to the full list of excluded products on our website. We try to make these conditions clear so that customers know which products qualify before placing an order.

We appreciate that it must have been frustrating to discover that the particular item you wanted wasn’t eligible for the discount.

Our customer service team explained the exclusions when you contacted us, although we’re sorry if the response came across as unsympathetic. That certainly wasn’t our intention.

Thank you for your feedback. We’ll continue to review how clearly we communicate our offers and their terms.

Rude customer service, you don't need the hassle. Avoid!!

Shocking customer service - not clear and very rude. Could not get a simply answer and was belittled with my issues multiple times.
The customer service experience means I'll go elsewhere.

We’re sorry to read your comments, particularly your description of our customer service.

We take complaints about how customers are treated very seriously. However, despite checking our order records and customer service correspondence, we’ve been unable to identify an order or any previous contact matching the name associated with this review.

This means we haven’t been able to establish what happened or investigate the concerns you’ve raised.

We would welcome the opportunity to look into this properly. Could you please contact us at support@bakerybits.co.uk with your order number or details of your previous correspondence?

We’d be happy to investigate and address any issues.

Misleading

Don't buy, misleading information. When you order 2 (as in the quantity) you expect to receive 2. not 1 but double the size and therefore not useable. When you place the order they are very good at sending 6 pages of legal terms relating to your order once you have submitted. Takes a long time to arrive, again misleading information on delivery timescales and needed to use the product. Even If I had the time to return / get a refund not sure it was possible anyway with all the legal terms provided

We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your order.
To clarify, this product is sold “by the running metre”, so when multiple quantities are ordered they are supplied as one continuous length, which is standard for this type of linen. We do appreciate that this may not have matched your expectation.
Your order was delivered within 4 working days over the Bank Holiday period, which was within the estimated delivery timeframe provided at checkout. We also offer a faster delivery service for those items needed in a hurry.
We certainly do not aim to mislead customers, and our order confirmation emails include standard terms and delivery information that are automatically sent with all orders.
We also offer a straightforward and generous returns policy for unused items, and we’re always happy to help customers with returns or queries before products are cut or used.

We do genuinely appreciate the feedback and always review comments carefully to see where we can improve.

Fantastic customer service

Fantastic customer service. They replaced a faulty bread tin 9 months after I bought it, no questions asked. Highly recommended!

Packaged with great care!

I have just received my second order from BakeryBits of some Gilchester Organics Rye Flour for home bread baking and was delighted when I opened the box... each pair of flour bags were neatly wrapped together as though it was a gift. Sure it was just brown packaging paper but the bags were perfectly wrapped and stacked in the box. Unwrapping an online order suddenly became a real treat!

No customer service - refuse to take complaints seriously

My first observation is that the company bakerybits does not want people to know who they are on Trustpilot! The company is not called "Patrick"! They obviously hope that nobody will find negative reviews of bakerybits, so use a pseudonym!
I have been using this company for a while. I previously ordered some Italian Einkorn Flour and it was brilliant. Then I ordered some more and it simply did not work. The bread refused to rise. We tried everything: different yeast; altering water amount; different proportions of Einkorn to white bread flour. Nothing worked so we are left with 5 bags we cannot use.
I contacted "customer service" and the reply I got was appalling! They were simply not interested and denied that the current batch they sent us could possibly be any different in quality to the previous batch.
Get your flour somewhere else!

We’re sorry to read that you were disappointed with both the flour and our response to your concerns.

Einkorn is an ancient variety of wheat with very different baking characteristics from modern bread wheat. Its gluten structure is considerably weaker, which means dough made with einkorn generally produces a much more modest rise and a denser loaf. It often requires different handling and recipes from those used for conventional bread flour.

However, we appreciate your point that you had previously achieved good results with the same flour. Although some variation between batches of flour is normal, we certainly wouldn’t dismiss the possibility of a quality issue without considering the circumstances.

We’re also sorry that you felt your concerns weren’t taken seriously. That isn’t the standard of customer service we aim to provide.

Regarding the business name shown on Trustpilot, BakeryBits is our trading name, and there was no intention to conceal our identity.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and regret that we weren’t able to resolve your concerns satisfactorily.

DPD did not attempt delovery

DPD delivered to the post office instead of the address. Did not attempt to show up at all (I have a camera on the porch).

Maybe DPD should refund part of the shipping fee if they don’t actually deliver the package, or the seller should keep them accountable for the service.

Next day delivery, no issues!

Ordered a Challenger Bread Pan (dutch oven) and a proofing basket. They promptly arrived the next day with no issues. Trying it out now, works great other than my technique which needs a little improvement! ;)

Not a reliable seller.

An order was made for flour and three types of yeast. The parcel arrived undamaged and unopened. 1 kg of Bioreal yeast was missing in the parcel. All attempts to communicate with the support service within 3 days led to nothing. I received only formal answers that they did everything right. Please check if they did not have a surplus in the warehouse, they were ignored. It was said that the weight corresponds to the required one, despite the fact that they indicated the weight incorrectly both for the presence of this kilogram in the parcel and for the absence of this kilogram. The fact of losing 9 pounds is not as important as the disrupted event for which the yeast was ordered. Therefore, it is possible, in case the order is important to you, to order from another supplier. At least do a thorough video of unpacking the package (as for AliExpress). I do not recommend using this seller.
Update. You just didn't send 1 kg of yeast, disrupting the planned event. That's why I asked about the exact weight of the package. You took the money, but did not send it. I call it something other than a mistake. Because I sent several letters about it. I am glad that your company has become richer by 9 pounds.

Hello Lurii
Thank you for your message. I have had a look at our correspondence to see that you were worried about the weight of the parcel coming to you - before you received it - and we think confusing the number of parcels (1) with the overall weight which I don't think is visible in the tracking. We have asked you a few times to confirm whether there is any issue with the delivery once received and have not had any reply. We will reply to you again now via one of your open tickets for confirmation from you so that we can rectify any issue - certainly if, very unusually, there is a missing item then we'll get it to you straight away! Many thanks

Great company with excellent customer service

Great company, quality products, great packaging, fast delivery. I placed several orders with them and I was very pleased with my purchases. Fantastic range of flours. I’m particularly pleased with my vanilla powder tin. The smell is amazing!

A outstanding company which values its customers

This company has provided excellent service. The kimchi/ferment pot is exquisite! We are so looking forward to using it. Thank you for caring about your customers not just sales as other companies do. We can see customers are part of your wider 'family' and are cared for both before and after sales.

Zero customer service

A shame I've had to give this review.
Usually have such a good service from them and great range of products, maybe not the best priced but the range they have makes up for it. Unfortunately had an issue with a loaf tin I purchased that had scratches all over after a few uses, even had the non stick coating coming away despite only cleaning with soft cloths.

2 emails sent with zero response in 2 weeks! Customer service is non existent it seems. A shame.

Faultless service on my first order

I ordered 6 bags of Marriages flour, very reasonably priced, great comms, speedy delivery but most impressive of all was the care taken in packaging the flour, beautifully wrapped and sealed in recyclable brown paper inside a sturdy box with plenty of recyclable cardboard packaging. I never imagined it was possible to get excited about unwrapping bread flour! Thank you for caring, Bakery Bits :)
