Too much cardboard with delivery

The only reason I gave 4 stars is because I ordered 82 bottles of flavoured water & they all came in big cardboard boxes which we had to cut up in small pieces in order to get them in the recycling bin. They could have easily been delivered on one of those trolleys it would have been a lot easier & saved all that cardboard too. Love the water though

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, we truly appreciate it. We’re really glad to hear you love the water!

In regards to the packaging, we completely understand your point about the cardboard and the extra work it created for recycling. Gosh, we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused. At the moment, we’re not able to dispatch stock using a third-party trolley system without it being fully wrapped and protected, which is why orders are boxed for safe delivery.

That said, we are always looking for ways to improve sustainability and reduce waste. We’ve recently taken steps towards more eco-friendly operations, and we will continue exploring greener and more streamlined delivery solutions wherever possible.

Thanks again for the helpful suggestion, we’re committed to improving and always grateful for ideas that help us do better.

Hi Graham,
Thank you so much for your review and for sharing this feedback, it really does help us improve. I’m glad to hear you’re happy with the products, but I’m sorry the delivery was left somewhere too visible. That’s not ideal, and I completely understand why you’d prefer parcels to be placed somewhere more discreet.

We’ll pass this on to the driver to help prevent it happening again, and if you ever have a preferred safe place for future deliveries, just let us know and we’ll make sure it’s added to your notes.

Thanks again for choosing JL Brooks.

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
