“Almost certainly the most contemptuous and uncompassionate service provider I have ever had the misfortune to place an order with.
I order a luxury hamper to be delivered to my ageing and ailing parents on their return to the UK. However, before returning my father was diagnosed with skin cancer and has had to remain outside the country for emergency treatment. The outcome of which is not at all certain.
I contacted the company for assistance in diverting, postponing or cancelling the delivery as my parents live in a fairly remote area with few neighbours, and a full days drive away from me.
All I received was an apologetic fob off and extracts from their November/December delivery policy of “no amendments”. Not even on compassionate grounds.
Time and time again I contacted them to get the same lack of customer service or interest.
It would be for me to try and head off their delivery company - if I could!
But no, their delivery company are today proud to tell me that my parents refuse bins have accepted the hamper.
There it will remain, to rot away, until my parents can extricate themselves from hospital and return to the UK.
Happy Xmas “Dukeshill” you really know how to make a very emotionally upsetting festive time - that much worse.”
“I ordered a hamper to take to the south of France and spoke to a truly delightful, girl called Marie. She was patient, charming and extremely helpful.
I have since spoken to another girl called Wendy and she was equally brilliant……well done you, you can certainly pick ‘em.
Hope the Hamper is equally good!!!”
“They provide consistently high quality meat, fish, cheese and other produce at competitive prices, with excellent customer service, chilled packaging and prompt delivery. It is like having an old-fashioned butcher's shop, but online. It reminds me of the fresh meat my parents used to source; wonderful flavour, beautifully butchered and from top quality beasts. The cured meats are where they earned their early reputation, but they also source from quality outside suppliers, like Robsons of Craster, who supply them with pairs of the country's best kippers, and from artisan cheese makers..”
