good products lousy website

Brooks website has to be the most god awful of any online retailer I have encountered.
items are not where you expect to find them and often times are not in stock even though you can add them to your cart.
this has happened 2 times to me now.
even when trying to order a few things I had a message that they could not deliver to my post code and to contact customer services if I had ordered in the past - which I had sucessfully.
so I called CS and a lovely and helpful lass told me it was a known bug and to remove 1 item - refresh and then add in the item again and it should go through.
well it took 3 or 4 attempts and eventually it held and I was able to order.
not without trying a paypal pay in 3 first which did not want to incude the vat so knowing that would fail I came out and just did it all in one go payment instead.
a day after the order I received a message that one item was not in stock and refund made.
no thought of contacting me to see if a replacement could be made and the orginal cost paid - also had to pay 10quid for delivery and since the item removed was 24 cans of soda it did go through my head if that would have meant a lower delivery cost.
overall not a great experience but at least everything I did order arrived pretty quickly - thanks to DPD and in 3 boxes so I did not feel to bad about the delivery cost in the end.

Hello Keith,
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. I’m very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced when placing your order, and I completely understand how frustrating that must have been.

Unfortunately, in this instance we sold through the clearance stock before the online stock levels could be adjusted. It can also be difficult when customers are able to walk in and collect from site, which can sometimes create a time lapse before the online figures update. I’m very sorry this affected your order.

I also apologise for the problems you encountered with the website and the postcode error. This is a known issue that we are working to improve, and I’m glad our customer service team were able to help you get the order through, even though it clearly took more effort than it should have.

Regarding the out-of-stock item, I’m sorry that we did not contact you to discuss an alternative before issuing the refund. Your feedback is very helpful and we will certainly take this on board to improve how we handle these situations in the future.
Thank you again for your feedback and for your order. I’m pleased that the rest of the items arrived quickly, and we do appreciate you giving us a try despite the issues you experienced.

Kind Regards,
Selina

Satisfied customer

Initially there were some problems with the delivery which were, in my opinion, entirely the drivers fault - however the sales team were exemplary in resolving the issues to my satisfaction.
Thank you J L Brooks, I am happy with the products I purchased and absolutely love the assorted tarts all my favourites - Treacle, Cherry Bakewell, Lemon and Toffee tarts - difficult to know which to have first. Just one nice problem with the tarts - they are so large you can't eat a whole one - well I can't so me and my husband are sharing them - the toffee one is scrumptious x

It’s great to hear you’re happy with your products — and the assorted tarts sound like a delicious dilemma! Treacle, Cherry Bakewell, Lemon, or Toffee… it’s definitely a tough choice 😊

It was the first time we ordered from JL Brook, and to a certain extent even a bit worried what to expect. I have been very pleased with all aspects of our purchase, from pricing, being informed about what stage our order was at, and the delivery. This will certainly not going to be our last purchase.
