“The carton was badly damaged but thankfully the boxes of biscuits seem to be intact. I won't know for a while as they were bought as presents so I they haven't been opened yet. I'll let you know of their condition when I find out”
Hi Cynthia,
We’re sorry the carton arrived damaged, sadly Royal Mail don't appear to handle parcels as gently as we would like them to. It’s good to hear the biscuits themselves seem intact. Please keep us posted on their condition once they’re opened, and let us know if there’s anything we can do in the meantime.
Warm regards,
Team Ringtons
“not totally satisfied. leaflet didn't give prices. was told free delivery but had to pay nearly £4.you have to spend £35 to get free delivery. coffee was more expensive and didn't taste any better than the coffee I buy. bought apple biscuits which tasted like jelly so didn't enjoy. the best purchase was the snowballs which were bigger. overall I won't be purchasing again”
Hi Brenda,
Our latest Teabreak magazine includes all of our Christmas range, complete with product codes and prices for easy reference.
We do offer free delivery for doorstep customers; however, online orders are shipped via Royal Mail, which is why delivery charges apply in that case. I believe this may have caused some confusion, and I hope this clarifies things.
Please let us know if there’s anything else we can assist you with, we’re always happy to help.
Warm wishes

“Sent ti wrong address realised soon as ordered sent email, didn't receive rang up when email said was delivered rang uo very unhelpful more a less my fault not checking nothing they could do”
Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing your order in detail, I can confirm that it was placed on Friday, 31st October at 6:00 AM with the delivery address you provided at the time of purchase. As our offices operate Monday to Friday from 08:30 AM to 5:00 PM, this was outside our business hours.
We send confirmation emails immediately after an order is placed, which allows customers to review and verify all details, including the shipping address. We also provide a 30-minute window for any changes before processing begins. In this case, your order was dispatched the same day, and a shipping confirmation was sent to you at 14:16 PM.
When you contacted us on Friday 31st October, an email was initially sent to us stating the address which you had entered as your shipping address. When you sent your next email/phone-call, the order had already been delivered or was en-route to the address specified during checkout. If the parcel is refused and returned to us, we will issue a full refund promptly upon receipt.
We appreciate your understanding and remain available should you have any further questions.
Warm wishes

“Biscuits great.
Subscribed for 3 month delivery, notification of timing and dispatch via email was a matter of 5 hours which gave me no time to cancel, still had products left! Poor service, hence 3 stars. As a consequence subscription cancelled.”
Hi Joanna,
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the biscuits, but we’re truly sorry to learn about the issues with your subscription notifications. Providing timely updates is important to us, and we appreciate you letting us know that this didn't work for you.
The good news is, we do have a doorstep service in your area, if you would like to know more information on this, please contact our Customer Care Team to help Tel 0800 052 2440

Hi Irene,
We’re so sorry you’re disappointed. The cost of cocoa has risen significantly, and because of this we had to rethink the product size to make sure we kept the quality, which we care deeply about, while still keeping it accessible. We chose to reduce the pack size so the chocolates remain just as you know and love them. We’ve worked hard to balance quality, value and affordability during a challenging time, and we truly appreciate your feedback and support
Best wishes,
Team Ringtons

“Thank You for my recent order which arrived in super fast time BUT the person who packed it needs to learn how to pack as the Bon Bon was put in 1st & everything else on top of them so they are VERY flat & all stuck together which you can feel without opening the packet, these was going to be a stocking filler for a friend, i was going to mention this to our guy who is due this Friday & i have attached a picture for you to see & show the packer the state of them ~ As for the rest of my order they are perfect & put away until Xmas time.”
Thank you for your feedback Sharon. We’re glad to hear your order arrived quickly and that the rest of your items are just what you hoped for! We sincerely apologise for the packing issue with the Bon Bons and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We will certainly address this with our team to ensure a better experience in the future. I will follow this up with an email to yourself to resolve.

“I have been getting the Christmas boxes for over 15 years and you’ve took out the classic biscuits like chocolate nut cookies, short breads, white chocolate & lemon. Why oh why? Don’t mess around with an already good combo 😢. Just hoping the new flavours are ok.”
Hi Kay,
Thank you for being such a loyal customer for over 15 years! We truly appreciate your feedback. We understand how important those classic biscuits are to you and your festive traditions.
We have added two of our new, fabulous biscuits to the Biscuit Hamper. We hope you enjoy these new flavours, even if they’re different from what you’re used to. ☺️

“Resorted to online ordering after several issues with home service.
Order arrived intact and on time. Only issue was that chocolate Brazil biscuits had bloomed when opened the day after delivery.”
Thanks so much for getting in touch with us at Ringtons.
We’re really sorry to hear you weren’t completely satisfied with your Doorstep Service and Luxury Brazil nut Biscuits, that’s never what we want for our customers.
After looking into this, it sounds like the chocolate may have ‘bloomed’. This can happen when chocolate experiences a sudden change in temperature, causing the sugar to rise to the surface and give it a pale or white appearance. While it might not look quite right, rest assured it’s perfectly safe to eat and the taste shouldn’t be affected.
That said, we always want you to be happy with your Ringtons goodies. So, we will get this resolved for you.
Once again, we’re truly sorry for the disappointment and if there’s anything else we can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our friendly Customer Care team on 0800 052 2440.
Warmest wishes,
Team Ringtons

Called to query but told i had to wait the 5 days, called again and spoke to Rachel, the remainder of my order was delivered the next day, Rachel was a star shame about your warehouse as orders do sem to dissappear or arrive very badly packed and damaged.”

“Products amazing as always, although very disappointed in the packaging, arrived damaged, squashed snowballs x 4 boxes which was just a total wast of money, I have never had a delivery arrive in such a condition.”
Thank you for your review, Jackie! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed our products, but we’re truly sorry that your Snowballs arrived in less than perfect condition.
I believe my colleague has emailed you in regards to this. If you could respond to that email at your earliest convenience so we can get this resolved for you.

“Good website and products are good value for money. However, I set up a subscription and my next order incorrectly showed a delivery charge. This was despite the provisional order being well over the free delivery threshold. I got a prompt response from the customer service team and they were polite. They passed it on to their technicians to sort out. However, I didn't hear anything back and the delivery charge still showed on the order. As I worry about these things, I decided to cancel my subscription to avoid incorrect charges.cto be fair, these things should be clear when setting up a subscription.”
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your positive comments about our website and products. We're sorry to hear about the confusion with the delivery charge on your subscription. Your concerns are important to us, you will have already received responses from both our online/customer care team, please let us know if you haven't Tel 0800 052 2440

“I bought online from Ringtons 2 types of teabags ie Breakfast blend and Traditional blend.I was looking to taste a strong bright malty taste from these tea bags but was disappointed.The taste was not strong even though i have a jug water filter just for tea drinking.
The tea i normally buy is Thomsons Irish breakfast brew which is strong but not too bitter or too much tannin.
The Ringtons tea bags were delivered on time within a week.
Another point is most tea bags are sold in packs of 80 but these Rington ones were in packs of 50.
If there is a stronger Ringtons tea i would buy but is there one.
I will drink the tea but will think twice about Ringtons
Jim from Sunderland”
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Jim! We appreciate your feedback on the Breakfast and Traditional teas and we're sorry to hear they didn't meet your expectations for a stronger taste. Our Breakfast, Traditional and Gold teabags have all been given a Great Taste Award but do appreciate personal preferences. We always aim to provide a range of flavours to meet everyone's expectations, it would be interesting to get your feedback on "our ultimate" Gold tea bags, infuse for 3-5 minutes for the perfect cuppa.
We're glad to hear your order arrived on time, and we hope to see you again in the future.
Warm regards,
Team Ringtons
