Sorry but for me is a big NO

Sorry but for me is a big NO. Website shows items are available takes your money in meantime encourage you heavily to buy more, then later slowly one by one inform you that you order is cancel/ not available. Which I knew from the start sold out everywhere apart from their website they showed in stock. At the end J just felt like being scammed.
Would avoid especially now days when is so easy to search globally any website for availability or simple ask AI to do it for you.

Very disappointed with my first order

Very disappointed with my first order. Order was accepted and paid for two products but notified the next day that the one I really wanted was not in stock. Was it simply mispriced? Why quote delivery in 2 to 3 days if not in stock. And then they are taking 7 days to refund me. So they deliver goods quicker than processing an electronic payment. Now I'm a bank lending them money.

And a day later it is still available on their website. So it's very suspicious!

Fast delivery to canada and I found most of what I was looking for on their website.

My kids miss the Mamia brand of kids rice cake from Aldi- couldn't find these on the website- not sure if they stock many Aldi brands, but otherwise satisfied with my shopping

I got everything I needed

I got everything I needed and the delivery was quick. My only problems came from the fact that three of the Oatibix packets had suffered slight damage at the hands of the courier, and the box was clearly stored somewhere where temperatures were too high as the chocolate biscuits were stuck together.

That apart - happy!

I love the fact you can order your favorite things from across the pond. Everything is packed carefully and there are zero damages. Yes, shipping is ridiculous but it is like that everywhere these days. My only thing is please update your items if they are out of stock or not. Some of the items I wanted were out of stock and I didn't find out until billing. The refund isn't instant. But I do like this website!

Great customer service

Great customer service! There was an issue with the shipping method on my order, but the team responded quickly and resolved everything professionally. Communication was friendly and efficient, and I received a refund for the shipping difference without any hassle.

This is the worst online purchase I've ever made. I've bought products from the UK at other stores, and I've never had a problem because they've always included all the necessary customs information in my orders. This store not only failed to do this, but they charged me over £100 more than two months ago without including all the required export documentation. My order is stuck because McGrocer is missing the necessary paperwork. Some of the products must have already expired. Today they're saying it's my responsibility. I haven't received my order, and they won't refund my money. I will never buy from them again, and I don't recommend them.

Reply from McGrocer

Hi Paqui,

Thank you for your patience while this matter was reviewed.

We are very sorry that this experience was so difficult and frustrating for you. After looking into the shipment history, it appears the unusually high import duty arose from a courier-side error rather than a charge set by McGrocer.

As part of our review, we identified a pattern affecting certain shipments on this route and raised it with the carrier. Following that review, we have now replaced the courier on the affected routes with a more reliable service. We have also strengthened our internal process and follow-up flow to help identify and resolve issues more quickly where they arise. These changes were made to help prevent customers from facing the same experience going forward.

We also appreciate how concerning the delay and paperwork issues must have been. As outlined in our Shipping Policy, our international orders are shipped on a DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) basis. This means any import duties, taxes, or customs-related charges are assessed by the destination authorities and collected through the courier, not by McGrocer. Once a shipment is under customs review, the clearance process is managed by the courier and customs authorities, and unfortunately this is outside our direct control.

That said, we never want a customer to feel unsupported when something goes wrong. We have continued to review affected cases carefully, improve our shipping process, and strengthen our internal handling where issues arise.

As a gesture of goodwill, we have sent you a separate email with a discount code for a future order.

We are sincerely sorry again for the experience you had, and we truly appreciate the opportunity to learn from it and improve.

Warm wishes,
The Customer Success Team

Received everything I ordered. It was packaged well for shipping so the glass jars didn't break in transit. I'm so happy! Thank you so much. The whole experience was great and I would highly recommend.
