Never made a mistake

I've been using ET for years and they've never made a single mistake on wrong product, pricing, delivery times, quality, packaging...nothing.
Also, their website is super easy to use. The re-order function makes everything so simple it takes seconds.

They are by far the best online company of any sort that I've ever used.
The benchmark for others - they should ALL be performing at the level of Electric Tobacconist. Most are miles off.

I have been a customer for many years

Edit: I had already considered that and had been checking my spam folder. There is nothing. It has literally been weeks since I submitted both tickets and I still have not heard anything back.

I have been a customer for many years. I had a problem a couple of months ago so emailed the company and then never heard back. Luckily, my parcel was delivered, but what if it hadn’t been why did no one get back to me? Last week my £5 ebalance didn’t come off the total. I have emailed twice about this and I have heard nothing back and it has been over a week. Why is no one returning emails? This is making me anxious when I place orders so regularly.

Lost a loyal customer!

Customer since March 2020. Next day delivery turned into next week delivery.

Orders being marked shipped when they are not. Delivery has taken 5+ days on each order over the last few months. Irregular packaging too which causes even more delays (rearranging delivery) so I can only assume they've hired some cheaper staff or outsourced their logistics.

Gave plenty of chances to get back on track but unfortunately nothing has changed. Now ordering from another company which has better prices, a rewards points system and (as advertised!) NEXT DAY Delivery!

Thanks for the last 5 years though. :)

Hello, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're very sorry to hear your orders arrived later than expected, and we understand how frustrating this can be. I can confirm that there have been no changes to our delivery services, and we manage all orders until they're handed over to the delivery company. We do not mark any orders as dispatched without shipping, and all deliveries are fully tracked. We currently offer two delivery options: Royal Mail Standard and DPD Next Day Delivery. While Royal Mail is not a guaranteed next-day service, it usually arrives the following working day; however, in some cases, it may take a few days, depending on your location. We'd be happy to investigate this further to gain a better understanding of the issue. Please respond to our 'Trustpilot Information Request' and our team will be able to look into this. Best Regards - ET Team

I used their services more than 3 years now… I don’t know how they are doing but the delivery time is quick as the amazon prime (but without a subscription fee.) Plenty of choices by taste, also great deals for bundles. The cheapest place to buy my weekly Heets selections.

My order was not delivered despite me being in at the time. I am now told I have to collect from a co op store. I am disabled and cant get there. None of my e mails have been answered. This is no way to treat a loyal customer

Speedy delivery

I order at 6:58pm, expecting to miss the next day delivery. Within minutes, I received an email saying it has been dispatched and within about another hour or so, it was with Royal Mail. Just received my order this morning. Great service! I'm so impressed with how quickly I've received my order. Will definitely be ordering from here again.

Delivered to a previous address

Delivered to a previous address after I had updated my new address. When I complain, this is the response I received: "Thank you for getting back to us.

It appears as though you had placed your order and the original address on your account was used when checking out your order.

To ensure that this does not happen, we recommend double-checking your address when placing your order.

Often, these items will find their way back to our depot, at which point we will be happy to contact you to arrange complimentary re-delivery to the correct address. Sadly this is not a service we can guarantee."
Refunded through PayPal NOT these clowns

Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear you encountered this issue. After reviewing your communication with our team, we understand you mentioned the use of an outdated delivery address no longer associated with your PayPal account. Please note that updating your address in PayPal does not automatically update the details in your ET account, as the two are not linked. As the delivery address in your ET account was not updated, the system defaulted to the only saved delivery address. In such cases, our usual procedure is to re-dispatch the order once it is returned to us, as noted in our terms and conditions. However, as a PayPal case was opened, the order was subsequently refunded. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding. Best Regards - ET Team

I tried to place an order on their website these days, but the website went wrong after I paid 3 times. Now the bank has withheld 3 payments. I submitted an inquiry but still received no response.
