A quirky website (which could do with a lot of work) with a lot of strange items on sale. Mostly sweet things or makeup from companies I have never heard of. Some selections come up empty all the time so you can't rely on them. Alternatively for the things I do want the discounts are really good but it does take a long time to find things. Always hoping for a bargain of course.

The delivery was quite fast despite the status not changing for 2 weeks. We got quite a lot for what we spent, but the lucky dip drinks for £1 should not be sold to anyone. We had a Ribena that had gone black and fizzy so it looked like cola, so we ended up binning the Yahoo milkshake as we didn't like the thought of drinking it 2 years out of date. The food was fine though so it was still definitely worth it.

Products as described and customer service department very helpful but I have lowered the score as they use an absolutely appalling delivery company that gave service not worthy of one star

Both good and bad. Food is ok some deals are amazing but others no better then the shops whos stuff is not out of date. Website is not great to navigate when checking an order. Dont even try to contact with an issue. Like pulling teeth. Last order i had a leaking can it was everywhere. All over other products but no replys from them. On a whole its just ok.

Prices are nowhere near as competitive as they used to be, and the existence of places like Rogers brings this into stark reality. Also, the packaging was, as usual, really shoddy and the parcel was literally dumped in my outdoor wood shed.

I'm not sure what to think at the moment. I placed my first order at the beginning of last week and received a box earlier than anticipated. Unfortunately, inside was obviously someone else's order. I rang straight away and left a message and the next day had an email apologising and promising to arrange collection from me and to send my items. That was Friday and since then silence. Not what I expected!

Always good but recently been advertising one price and charging another. No response from Customer service. It's not huge, approx £3.75 over the whole order but really not good.

Have to be careful that you don't get carried away as some products are not a great saving, crisps are a risk as we have had some very soggy packs. Check product size as I have made mistakes with some arriving tiny. Overall OK.

Approved Foods used to be really good, but I think the quality of the food has gone down. Last lot of chocolate I bought had "bloomed" and was stale to taste. The Lucky Dip was a big disappointment. I wont buy chocolate products from them again but stick to tins, jars and packets.

Quick delivery & well packed. Items are as described but you need to be really careful when selecting as some of the packs are small and thus not such great value. I use the company occasionally as there are some interesting foods that you don't see on the usual shelves but its more of a novelty shop than a grocery store run.

I wasdisappointed that there was no packaging in the box to protect the food. A dented tin of apricots had fallen onto a Christmas pudding and broken the seal. I complained by email but got no response.

I sent a long update regarding the slow delivery and the delivery company dumping my shopping. I have had no response from that so don't intend to repeat myself.

I have always been satisfied with my orders however I have started to get missing items which is no big deal as price is cheap but the Lilys kitchen dog food I ordered was open package so was not happy as paid full price. I am going to wait and try elsewhere for my next orders

Overall not a bad delivery . Well packed , unfortunately the milk chocolates were all heavily white bloomed and the jelly babies were very small and very dark coloured . I think I will be more cautious if I purchase in future

When you email me twice a day on offers, if something is good, then I have to buy it on the same day,if the email is more than 1 days old ,then I cannot find those items on your website which is frustration, also your website is very difficult to navigate. Also no-one answers your landlines when I ring up,is only email address which I don't like this procedure.
