Very misleading website and expensive delivery. I expected a lot more that what I received. I will never order again off them.

Ordered 1 item.....took 3 days to pick, 2 days to pack and send.... all in all 6 days from order to delivery. Far too long. A ridiculous amount of packing, please see image... 3 x large boxes for an item 4inches high...total madness and for this I was charged £5.99. A D1 size mailite bubble bag would have been sufficient and would have cost £2.80 via Royal Mail 2nd class small parcel.

Hi Miss Roberts, Thank you for ordering with Approved Food. We specialise in products that are short-dated or past their best before date which are all safe to consume. We show the best before date for each product on the product page. If you would prefer to only view products that are within this date there is a filter on the left hand side that filters to 'in date products' only. I hope this helps and you will order again soon. Kind regards, Jennie

Absolutely terrible,took nearly a week and much chasing to despatch. Then I chased again. Order had allegedly been lost by a corpurier,which when I googled doesn't even exist!! Money still not returned despite them having it a week and a bit. Disgrace of a company. All seems like a scam!!

Ordered my items 2 weeks ago and still not arrived. Very poor service. I have spoke to customer services who also have no idea what is going on. This is my second time of experiencing issues with their delivery service. I still have no recieved the goods, the tracking says a delivery was attempted on the 5th which it wasnt, i was in all day! Now my items have aparently been returned to sender and I have asked for a refund, lets see if they can manage that! Very dissapointed that this has happened again after what happened last time. Will not make this mistake again. Will not recommend!

My first order a few months ago was amazing. Hence why I placed a 2nd order. Wow what a shambles. All the drinks were flat. The 'Barni' cakes were stale and hard and lastly the children's crisps were also stale. Once unhappy customer

Could only eat about half of it as i didnt realise that it was so out of date, and tasted so. The chocolate that i ordered was lovely. But overall i wouldn't buy again as i had to throw so much away that it worked out more expensive.

Hi Ms Robertson We specialise in short or out of date food but our products are ambient and are still perfectly fine to eat after the best before date and it is very unusual for the products to taste any different at all. Kind regards

Hi Mr Taylor, I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy with your order. With regards to the tomatoes we do specialise in short or out of date food which is why our prices are so low but they are ambient products so perfectly fine to consume. If you contact customer services about the other products they will sort any issues out for you. Kind regards
