“Happy with most I've received, best before dates that are more obvious immediately would be good plus the postage cost being less would encourage me to buy more!”

“Their offering of goods is rather hit and miss which you may expect, the prices are average to good and better on some products than others. Picking and resulting delivery was slow possibly due to staff shortages with lockdown. I had an issue with some items that were delivered but the representative was easy to contact by email and was extremely helpful and resolved it speedily.”

“I am a German customer since 2014 and ordered several times at Approved Food to get typical UK food and brands which are not available here or only at very high prices. Everything was fine until the packaging became much much lighter and can not withstand the rough treatment of DPD staff anymore. The last two parcels have been repacked by DPD and were missing several items. Mainly "fancy drinks" and alcohol seem to get damaged and had to be removed! I would be very happy, if you could use better quality boxes, at least for abroad deliveries.”

“I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of groceries I received in my mystery £1 box well within best before date. Unfortunately I bought a bar of Dairy Milk chocolate for £6.99 of which was inedible as chocolate had turned white, crumbly and tasted awful which was such a shame as other purchases were of a good quality”

“Some things are great value but others are rubbish - I have made 2 orders and been caught out both times. The first time the picture showed 40 sachets of sweetener for 25p so I ordered 4 - was sent 4 sachets - ripped off. The second time I ordered 2 big bags of boiled sweets - they arrived wet and sticky - the mess had seeped through the box.”

“i would rather you offer the general public more on usual groceries than perfumes, cosmetics and animal products, it seems to have changed over the last couple of years which is rather disapointing”

“Been buying from here for a while now, some terrific bargains to be had but you have to watch the prices, like anything else. Had a major disappointment with the last order when we received a £10 vegan box that had 2 cheap cans of pop, 2 small bags of popcorn, 2 snack bars, some coffee and an assortment of loose sweets and tea bags. Barely even worth £5 never mind 10. I honestly wonder if they forgot to put some stuff in. Adding insult to injury, the sweets all contained gelatine, so weren't vegan at all!”
