Wonderful to work with!

One of the nicest and most professional companies we've had the pleasure of dealing with.

Things don't always go right - that's part and parcel of business - but IBC are so easy to raise issues with which get resolved quickly if it's within their power to resolve, and if not they do what they can to help. A lot of our deliveries have to come packed in a certain way and they have always been so incredibly accommodating in that sense. Can't ask for more!

Customer service aside, the products are fantastic. Great range, yummy flavours, helpful recipes/ideas, and it's great that they're always thinking of new things to freshen things up.

Shout out to Matt, Louise, Amber, Kimberley, Scott, Olga, and even newbie Nathan (who has been stellar) for the service and help they provide us day in day out!

Following up orders placed

I placed an order on the 1st of September and was supposed to get it latest I believe by Monday. I chased up on Tuesday and was told was delivered to the wrong address and would will be sent out on Wednesday. Didn't receive it so chased up on Thursday and was told sorry I need to reorder. I did not get a satisfactory explanation as to what happened to my order.
Although this is a one off, I feel if I was a first time customer I would be put off by this experience. It's taken over a week to get an order that was supposed to be delivered next day. Meanwhile sales has been lost by the unit for not having the stock to sell and marked down for non-compliance.

I am happy with the response and reply.

Thanks for your review.

We're so sorry that we didn't get things right for you this time.

Having looked into this, as you rightly pointed out, due to an admin error on our side, this was despatched to the wrong address. We're so sorry this happened.

As soon as we were aware of the issue, we re-sent your order out to the correct address, but unfortunately it appears Fedex has let us down as this is showing as 'in transit' 3 days later. We have raised this directly with them.

In the meantime, we can see a third order is being despatched today and have asked our warehouse to upgrade this to a Saturday delivery service, to ensure you get this tomorrow.

We're really sorry again for letting you down with your order and that you didn't receive a satisfactory explanation for what happened. Please be assured this isn't indicative of the service we aim to provide.

Thank you again for taking the time to feedback and help us improve.
