“You mis-sold a bottle of whisky on your website. I bought a distillers edition Lagavulin based on the picture and description. This is not what I received, instead I received a 16 year old whisky. I expect to receive what I order. If you are going to substitute a purchase you could have asked. I really like approved food but this has made me question your service. I would like my money back on this order. Please get in touch on”

“Shocking service. placed 2 x orders, selected to pick them up myself but they are only open office hours so I cannot actually get to pick them up when they are open. I have left several voicemail messages and had one returned call. I was promised an e-mail would be sent to make alternative delivery arrangements. I am still waiting for the e-mail and have left more voicemails and still waiting for call backs! it is over a week now and I am still waiting for my orders!!!”

“Sadly the box is damaged and re taped up. On opening the box there is dried mud, lots of it! And many boxes look water damaged. Very poor. I have emailed and called approved food and await a response. I'd like to add that I have ordered before and never had a problem.”

“Delivery was long but probably due to bank holiday. It took 7 days. I had no notification that it would be delivered today so I didn't stay home and had to make an extra trip out with the kids to the post office. Love the prices but a bit inconvenient.”

Good morning Miss Turnt, I can see that your order was dispatched from us on Wednesday 12th April, due to the Easter bank holiday weekend your order is out for delivery today with an ETA of 15:05-16:05. We closed on Thursday on 5pm and did not return to work until Tuesday morning which is why you may not have received a reply to your query. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Jennie

“I put my favourite perfume into my basket along with biscuits I was looking forward to receiving. For some reason, the perfume disappeared from the basket and the biscuits were several days out of date. Poor service. I will not be ordering again.”

“Ordered over a week ago and still awaiting delivery. Have emailed and left a voicemail message (as you don't speak to a human) and have had no reply. I didn't receive goods at all this time last year but thought I'd have another go and give approved food a chance. Seems the joke is on me.”

“Ordered & paid for an item "ex stock". After a week, I was informed there was no stock and I had been given credit, not refunded. I now have a refund but during the delay, the price elsewhere has risen by £7. I won't be using this company again.”

“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.”

I am happy to offer you half price delivery for your next order and can only apologise again. Kind regards, Leon
