Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 302 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently mention that placing an order is completely simple and straightforward, while delivery services are remarkably fast, reliable, and arrive carefully packed. Consumers also appreciate the wide selection of favorite snacks and drinks available at very consistent, competitive, and reasonable prices. However, some customers also noted occasional frustrating problems with external courier services, such as heavy packages being dumped in inconvenient spots or mistakenly delivered to incorrect addresses. A few other people also felt that communication could be improved, specifically mentioning missing confirmation updates or items unexpectedly going out of stock right after purchase.

Positive Action on Customer Service

The sell by date was just 2 weeks out...! They responded the next day to the review and gave a full refund, talk about turning a bad experience around! Well done guys!

Hi Darrel,

Thank you so much for your order, and I’m truly sorry that the date on the Spicy Stiggles was far from suitable for a full-price item. As mentioned in my previous email, it is not standard practice for full-price stock to be sent with only two weeks’ shelf life.

The warehouse team has been informed, and it appears this was an isolated case. The cost of the Spicy Stiggles has been credited back to your account, so you can enjoy the stock for free.

Thank you again for choosing JL Brooks, and I hope you’re happy with this resolution. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything further we can assist with.

Take care, and thanks again,

Kind Regards,
Selina

Hi Liz,

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback really helps us improve future orders. I can see that you received a refund as compensation for the dented cans, and I completely understand how disappointing it is when a consignment isn’t treated with the same care as it was sent out.

We really appreciate your patience and hope that you’ll be happy to order from us again in the future.

Kind regards,

The very best cream soda

Ben Shaw’s Cream Soda is the real authentic cream soda I remember as a child, on holiday in Alderney having ice cream sodas every day in a seaside cafe.
I have loved it ever since, and now introducing it to my grandsons
Easy to order, and a quick and safe delivery, thank you for great service.
