Waste of time

Ordered twice from this website first time in December, when my tracking wasn’t updated two weeks later I contacted them and they said it has got ‘lost in transit’ even though it had never been handed over to Royal Mail. Thought I would try again in January same thing happened and parcel was ‘lost in transit’ again I contacted Royal Mail and once again they never handed the parcel over to Royal Mail. I’m assuming because they were heavy products they would have been expensive to ship and as to why this happened to me twice and by the time their ‘customer service’ responded back the product was out of stock both times surprise surprise! But I’ve learnt my lesson and not waste my time with them again in the future.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

We sincerely apologize for the frustration you've experienced with your recent orders. We understand how disappointing it can be when a package does not arrive as expected.

We have conducted a thorough investigation and reviewed the CCTV footage regarding your orders. Based on our findings, we can confirm that your package was handed over to Royal Mail for delivery. Unfortunately, once the package is handed over to the carrier, it is beyond our control, and we rely on their processes for delivery.

We truly regret that you had this experience. Please know that your feedback is valuable, and we will continue working to improve our services.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding.

If there is anything else we can assist you with, feel free to let us know.

Best regards,
World Food Shop

I received my goods, two tins of chestnut purée

I received my goods, two tins of chestnut purée, to be precise, a few days late. They were delivered by Amazon, which surprised me, but I didn’t question it. When the tins arrived, they were not only packaged in an envelope wherein the bubble wrap was totally flat but the tins were completely beaten up, massively dented and damaged. It was as if they’d been literally kicked around.
When I contacted customer services, providing them with photographs as evidence, they were apologetic and refunded me as quickly as they could

Customer Sevice sadly lacking

I ordered some ingredients for a special recipe and paid for express delivery leaving plenty of time. The package arrived late and I had to buy a pre-made version of the recipe at the last minute. I am left with other ingredients unused and with short shelf life that will now go to waste. After some to-ing and fro-ing their final answer is that it's Amazon logistics' fault and they've refunded the difference between normal and express shipping.
Not really good enough. Sorry! There's plenty of other places I can buy this stuff, including Amazon.

Super unhappy with this business I sent an email about how my items broke in delivery they sent an email back asking for photos. I sent four photos back with no response. The items were in glass jar which in turn damaged and contaminated the rest of the package. Tried to call a number of times and it keeps going to answering machine.

I ordered three different flavours of Jell O to try some recipes. One of them arrived split and had leaked over everything. I emailed them twice once through the order and the second time through their website. They did not even respond. Wont be using them again.

Great Customer Service, but Delivery Service Needs Improvement

I recently experienced an issue with a missing delivery, and while the customer service team handled the situation well, there’s room for improvement with their delivery service. After my package was marked as delivered, I couldn’t locate it. The team was quick to respond, providing delivery coordinates and a photo of the location, which I confirmed was correct. Despite this, the package wasn’t found.

The customer service team was helpful and offered a refund or replacement, though some items were out of stock. I opted for a full refund, which was processed without issue. I want to emphasize that the fault lies with the third-party delivery company, not the customer service team, who did their best to assist me.

However, I believe the delivery service needs improvement. Better communication and ensuring that packages are left securely would prevent such issues in the future. Overall, I’m satisfied with the customer support, but the delivery process could be significantly improved.
