Walkers crisps

There was an initial problem with delivery and date issue with my order which was dealt with very efficiently and effectively by Izzy in customer services. She was very pleasant and understanding.

Hi Chris,
Thank you for your review.

We are pleased to hear your order arrived promptly, however we are very sorry to hear that the poppadoms were damaged in transit.

It is incredibly frustrating when courier companies do not treat parcels with the care and respect they should. We understand how disappointing it must have been to receive your order in that condition.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we truly appreciate your feedback as it helps us continue to improve our service.

Out of stock

Waited 6 days from order to tell me you were out of stock of what I’d ordered and then waiting for money to be credited back to my account.

Reply from J L Brooks

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry for the disappointment caused on this occasion.

Unfortunately, the stock for your order was due into us and we had intended to dispatch your order just one day later than originally planned. Regrettably, the stock then failed to arrive with no explanation from our supplier. We also made further efforts to source additional pallets from an alternative supplier, however we were unsuccessful.

We completely understand your frustration regarding the delay in communication and the inconvenience of waiting for your refund, and we sincerely apologise for letting you down.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hi Marliyn,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry to hear that your first order arrived with a shortage of 8 packets. I can see that you contacted our Customer Service team and that a refund for the difference was issued straight away.

We completely understand your disappointment, especially on a first order, and we are sorry that your experience was not as it should have been.

Thank you again for your order, and we do hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Placed my first order last week

Placed my first order last week - good range of products and fairly reasonable pricing - easily get through if need to contact customer services - delivery service within a couple of days which is adequate, and free if ordering enough - only downside is you don't know what time of day they are delivering and if you are a closed outlet on the fixed delivery days you can't plan your day as you need to get it inside and secure, so one answer is a lockable safe place and put instruction on the order for the driver (which i have done), or a phone call from driver - all in all started well

Hi David,
Thank you for your review and for placing your first order with us. We’re really pleased to hear you’re happy with the range, pricing and overall service.

I completely understand your point regarding delivery times. As we run set routes, timings can vary, but adding delivery instructions for a safe place or requesting a call from the driver is definitely the best way to help manage this.

Thank you again for your order and your feedback, it’s really appreciated.

Stock

Ordered some fizzy drinks, paid for and received email to say DPD was expecting my order. Following day received an email from sellers to say unfortunately the fizzy drinks were out of stock and a full refund would be made.
Received refund straight away.
A bit disappointed

Hi,
Thank you for your review. I’m so sorry that the clearance stock sold out before your order could be dispatched. Sometimes our retail side sells through items before the system has time to update for online customers. I completely understand how disappointing this is.

Thank you again for your order and for your understanding.
