“Disappointed as the chocolate were sent in a plastic box and not in a Friar box, it was for a present and a friar box as a wrapping would have been nicer and better!”

“The items look fine but unfortunately they are very thin and due to this one item was broken on receipt. Whether this was poor handling by royal mail but it does not appear so as there was plenty of packing. Royal mail are also the most unreliable of all the couriers.”

“I ordered a number of items for my grandchildren for Christmas and was very disappointed to see that the two items for my grandaughters, a make up set and horse set had a sell by/eat by date of 17 December 2022 - before Christmas! I ordered from a speciality chocolate supplier and expected better than that! The items were well packaged.”

“I had bought these as a present and whilst they were nicely wrapped they came in a box with paper around them it would be better had they been protected by bubble wrap as most of the sheets are broken and in bits -I accept Royal Mail may not have taken much care but the box wasn’t even marked fragile I wouldn’t order again from this company mj”

“The first box (unsweetened) came scattered all over the box and didn't fit properly The second overstocked came in 2 different flavours and, again, were in an inappropriate box which made the chocolates almost impossible to remove”

“Bought vegan chocolate but wasn’t When you look at the advert it says vegan but as a - next to it meaning it’s not be easier to leave the word vegan off but that would be less misleading”

Helpful Report

Thanks for your review, we do have a selection of vegan chocolates, which we do advertise, however the majority of our chocolates are unfortunalty not suitable. The ingredients are listed on each product page to allow customers to check suitability of our products. Kind regards Friars Customer Service

Hi Jackie, Thank you for your review and we are sorry that the sugared almonds were not the same colour as in the picture. We do state on the listing that the colour of the product may vary from the image, however, it would be best if the image was also updated. We will amend this as soon as possible.

Hi Rosie, Thank you for your review. The tracking infromation says this has now been delivered, on the 1st April. It is slightly later than expected, and we apologise for this, the Easter festive season may be causing Royal Mail to be busier than usual. If you would like to call us to resolve this, on 01768 77 22 34-option 1. Kind regards, Friars Customer Service.
