“Website layout is pretty poor. If they made it easier to filter and find products in range of pricing, reviews, best match that would be so much easier. I hate having to search through page after page and not finding what I want. Also the delivery is far too pricey. I do appreciate that it's a small business but we need more offers on delivery. I would order alot more often if the delivery was cheaper.”

“I received my order this week, with broken glass as the bottom where one of the items had smashed and poured out everywhere. It was also missing 4 other items that I had ordered. I have rung and emailed customer services and had no response.”

Hello, We apologise you were not happy with your order. Approved Food specialises in selling short-dated products, those close to or past their best before date. The best before date is related to food quality, therefore, food past this date is safe to consume. This means we can pass on huge savings to our customers. If you prefer not to see these products you can click 'show only in date products' on the left-hand sidebar. Thanks, AF

“I am still waiting for my delivery paid for on November 2nd. I have tried to contact you and the carrier to no avail. I should not have to chase the carrier, the order was placed with you. I am extremely disappointed”

“Difficult to write a review when my order never arrived. I emailed their customer services and got an automated reply but have had no other communication from them. So 0 out of 10. To be fair, I've dealt with this company for about eight years, and this is the first time this has happened.”

“Unfortunately, last order got missing. I'd advise you to avoid DHL as our parcel is missing and the food has never arrived. What a shame”

“I was told the day before I had to be in but you cold tell me what time the delivery would be. Then when the order finally arrived, a can of coke had burst making everything wet and sticky. Beer bottles were also badly packed and its a wonder they had not broken. Very little care seems to be taken when packing and delivering your orders.”

“One of the items was a mascara which the seal was broken and had been used so that's what went wrong!”

“I was sent a damaged packet of rice, attempts were made by ApprovedFood to seal a hole in the packet with sellotape before sending it to me, and to add salt to wound, the package arrived damaged with a rice puddle at the bottom of the bag. I've been offered a refund in the form of 'credit' to spend on their website. This experience has been complete prank joke; i'm left with a damaged product that may have been interfered and is completely unusable and will be thrown away. I contacted their customer service team about this and they've pre-empted a solution whereby they've offered to : i quote: "I have passed this feedback to our warehouse manager to investigate why this was sent to you in this way, from a Mr Harper." Feedback? Open an investigation, who's idea is it to send a customer a damaged item and who did the packaging because it was incredibly poor.”

“For the second time now I have only received 1 of the 2 boxes that I delivered.”

“The packaging and delivery were impeccable BUT the oatcakes were rancid. I have now noticed that it was clearly indicated that they were past the selling date. Even so, I don't think they should be marketed: they are inedible. (some products even if past their sell/by/date are perfectly good to eat, clearly not these oatcakes.)”

“My bad experience was last week when I mad a huge order after an email offering free delivery. In fact it was PARTIAL free delivery so I feel badly let down. My contact with customer service did not resolve this. Doubtful about ordering again and feel trading standards may be interested.”

“All the items that I ordered had an expiry date of 25 August 2017. Item was delivered to me 4 days after it has expired. Not happy at all. Had I known I would not have ordered a lot.”

“Goods all thrown in to oversized box together (tins and fragile items) no protection or separation, therefore received box of broken biscuits, crisps, crackers etc, having been free moving in box during handling. My complaint was dealt with quickly, however, with the explanation that the box had been repacked by delivery company, for some reason. Am assured I will have refund within 48hours, so assuming that happens, I was satisfied with the complaints handling. Bad first experience though, so sorry, won't be buying again.”

“22 tins from my order had to go in the bin not happy, i was offered less than the price i paid, then i said its a refund i wanted and pointed out i paid more for the goods than they had credited me, so got the price i paid refunded, i had free delivery but was charged a small amount for delivery, if these tins were not sent to me i think the delivery would have been free due to weight, i feel delivery should have been refunded, i was upset with my order and did send pics to your facebook page, now im angry to think you would send out food to people in that state, its a total health risk , the tins were dented rusty and some had leaked there contence out , yuk this is so bad,the person that packed my order would have known the tins should never have been sent out to a customer, im yet to make up my mind what to do about this health risk to people ,”
