Used to love Thorntons but not now. For me they are too sweet and have an oily feel left in the mouth. Shame I will now have to find another brand that tastes like chocolate

Top class commnication.

I received an order from Thorntons yesterday but I wasn’t happy with the state the box of chocolates were in when they arrived. There was nothing wrong with the chocolates just that the box was open. I contacted customer services & got a swift reaction from Tolulope who’s arranged a replacement box to be sent out. Very pleased with the way that Thorntons have handled my complaint & will continue to use them.

I ordered some personalised chocolate for a friend’s birthday- that unfortunately arrived broken in the post, I emailed Thorntons to ask for a replacement, and had a very prompt and helpful reply from Chelsea- who sent a replacement quickly, thank you so much for your help!

Contacted the Customer Service team due to my parcel going missing with Royal Mail, spoke to Tolulope and Chelsea, who organised for a replacement to be sent. Very happy with the service I have received from Thorntons.

We have always rated Thorntons chocolate selection boxes. The options for white dark and milk chocolate are very good and I think their Continental selection box is superior and gives the sensation as well as taste of something more refined. Great to see the continental box return to its original glory in terms. selection. A real luxurious and indulgent treat.

The kitchen manger thinks she's the manager of the store. I've been loyal customer for 8 YEARS and I'm going to go to the compiter from now on lm giving them negative 1000 and I won't come back to any Thorntons anymore
Outstanding customer experience with Thorntons over Christmas and into the New Year. I experienced security issues with my payment card as I was purchasing multiple orders as gifts & this caused duplicate orders being processed. Jason was super helpful in reviewing all my orders & ensuring each person on my list received their gift & all duplicates where cancelled and refunded.
Additionally, one of these gifts was returned to sender as Royal Mail where unable to deliver. Chelsea has resolved this for me in a matter of minutes, replacing the gift to the recipient for me. Can't praise them enough for the service received!

I had decided to order chocolates for a family member for christmas as these particular chocolates were his favourites . Unfortunately two of the bags had bashed chocolates in them.
If they had just been for me then I wouldn't have thought to email. However, as they were a gift I contacted thorntons. Chelsea was wonderful, so helpful. Amazing customer service! Thank you !

Always brilliant for sending chocolates to people for xmas and birthdays etc. Website is great and if you have a problem then customer services are excellent and deal with it immediately.

Bought box of Thorntons chocolates.They arrived with no cellophane around them.They were a gift and when opened they were awful.Several were broken up and others were covered in a white film.They had to be thrown.
I complained to Thorntons sending a photo of the chocolates.They replied saying it was a storage problem which is rubbish.They said my complaint would be sent to the appropriate department who would respond to me.Very poor service as I have heard nothing.What an absolutely pathetic response from Thorntons

The Thorntons Classic box I had this Christmas were disgusting no one wanted them. They all taste the same, vaguely sweet chocolately mush.
They used to be such good chocolates when the shops were open a real treat now they get thrown away.

Reply from Thorntons
After initially sending the wrong item, they responded to my email the same day (Saturday), allowed me to keep the incorrectly sent item and had the correct item delivered on Monday. Excellent customer service.

Many thanks to Lisa at Thorntons for dealing positively with my lost parcel. My order arrived after two days. I really appreciate her efficiency and honest apologies.

Reply from Thorntons
Wonderful customer service. I had a problem with my order contacted them & very quickly received a response. Chelsea who dealt with my enquiry was extremely courteous & understanding dealt with my problem professionally & resolved everything much to my satisfaction. Love Thorntons. Only wish they still did the nut toffee 🤞.
