Poor postage & packing

It was a swift delivery but the box that the 4x bags was not secured enough. It had broken and one of the coffee bags was torn. All had then been sloppily wrapped in a plastic bag for the actual delivery. Fortunately no coffee had been lost but it all made it look like a very amateur operation.

Dear valued customer,

I am sincerely sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. We truly appreciate your patience in this matter.

I wanted to update you that our team has indeed responded to your inquiries and according to the tracking details from Royal Mail, there have been two attempted deliveries to your designated address. Sometimes, due to unforeseen circumstances, you might miss these delivery attempts.

In order to receive your order, kindly visit the official Royal Mail website and select the "Update Delivery Options" button. This allows you to arrange for another delivery attempt or to change the delivery location based on your convenience.

If you face any difficulties in the process, or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are committed to ensuring you receive your order as quickly as possible.

Kind Regards,
Jonathan

Brilliant customer service

First items arrived damaged in transit ie 2 bottles of briannas dressings. Notified world food store and Jonathan organised replacement items quickly and efficiently. Could have had a refund too if I’d taken that option. Will use again and definitely recommend to others. Thank you world food store

Non-delivery of order

Non-delivery of order/returned to warehouse for undisclosed reason on Royal Mail tracking (despite address being correct). Repeated failure of primary email address meant unable to contact the company after the initial email contact. Tried via webform - no response. Called landline - no response. Filed complaint via PayPal Resolution Centre and received a refund. So much for the company 'mission statement'......

Dear Armando,

Firstly, thank you for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry to hear about the difficulties you've experienced.

Upon reviewing our records, your first point of contact with us was made today, to which we responded in exactly 15 minutes. We hope this swift response time demonstrates our commitment to addressing customer concerns as promptly and effectively as possible.

We understand the frustration caused by the non-delivery of your parcel. Unfortunately, as much as we strive for the smoothest possible delivery process, issues can occasionally occur with third-party delivery services, like Royal Mail, that are beyond our control.

We assure you that we are addressing the communication concerns you raised about our email and landline channels. It is paramount for us to be easily accessible and responsive to our customers' needs.

Again, we deeply apologise for the inconvenience you've experienced and are grateful for your understanding as we work to resolve these issues.

Best regards,
Jonathan
