Good from bad

Whilst disappointed by the fact that the initial delivery had an item missing, the team at Thorntons made good and arranged for the item to be delivered promptly an courteously. Well done.

Hopefully this review will pass the TP AI test. Last time I posted a genuine experience it proudly announced to me that my review wasn't genuine. A decision made by their AI tool.

So, I hope for Thorntons sake this review passes muster

I recently ordered a load of Marvellous…

I recently ordered a load of Marvellous Magnificent Eggs for my staff as a thank‑you for all their hard work. Unfortunately, one of the eggs arrived damaged, which was disappointing as I didn’t want to gift a broken one.
I contacted Customer Care and received an almost immediate response. Naomi picked up the issue and resolved everything quickly. She was polite, efficient, and an excellent example of great customer service.
I’ve ordered a lot of chocolate from Thorntons over the years, and this was the first time I’ve ever had a problem, so it’s reassuring to know that their customer service is just as reliable as their products. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon. Thank you!

Help in redirecting an order

I had used the wrong address in my order. Even though it had already been dispatched, Chelsea at Thornton’s was able to stop and redirect the order promptly and with no fuss.

Extra special help from Chelsea made my day.

I forgot to put the name and address of the recipient before I pressed the send button, but an email for help was answered by Chelsea who said she would make sure it was sent to the correct address. Thank you Chelsea, you went above and beyond to help me. You have a good employee their Thorntons!

Very helpful people

I was having trouble completing my order online, and getting a bit stressed, so I called your help desk and spoke to Femi.
He was very pleasant and efficient and sorted everything out in a few minutes.
My stress levels fell.
Thanks Femi

It's back!

Having made previous comments on Thorntons Special Toffee, I recieved a complimentary 500g pack. My last comments were not favourable, with the toffee tasting of a fudgy consistency (apparently due to a faulty but edible batch), however, on trying this new batch , I'm delighted to say it tastes like the Thorntons we remember. Wether or not they've reverted to the old recipe, I don't know, but regardless it's lovely! Give it a try again! Well done Thorntons and compliments to your wonderful customer services team!
