“I don’t doubt the quality of your goods which is why I ordered and whilst one of my orders was delivered to me promptly the other one to Norway was returned to you for some unknown reason. It was very disappointing that my brother didn’t receive his package of goodies.”

“The product is excellent but I do have a major issue with the carrier you use. My last order was launched over my back gate when clearly there was I was at home. Had confusing tracking updates indicating a delivery day only to find out the product didn't arrive”
Hi David,

“Actual products were fine. The packaging wasn’t so good. Put together items for a Christmas hamper. The presentation was very poor. Items loose in box. No pretty packaging. Disappointed.”
Hi there,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear the products met your expectations, and we’re sorry the packaging wasn’t what you had hoped for.
I noticed from your order that you purchased individual items, which are shipped in a standard packaging box rather than a gift presentation. If you’re looking for a gift-ready option, we offer a range of beautifully presented gift hampers that come in decorative boxes.
If you’d like assistance choosing the perfect gift option, our Customer Care team would be happy to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Kind regards,
Team Ringtons
“The low rating is due to the delay in delivery of the order, it was a gift for a sick relative, I was given a couple of delivery dates, which spoiled the surprise”
Hi Irene,
We’re really sorry to hear that Royal Mail took 5 days to deliver your order, this isn't the experience we would want for our customers. We hope the goodies were enjoyed once received 👍 😊
Kind regards,
Team Ringtons
“Disappointed two of 4 items damaged to be fair they did offer for me to return to them however I didn't have the time scale to do this and wait for them to receive and resend out so the damaged items have been given as presents anyway.”
Hi Nikki,
Thank you for contacting Ringtons.
We are sorry to hear your order didn’t arrive in perfect condition, that’s certainly not the experience we want for you.
As with any retail environment, we have a process in place and can see that we have asked you to return the damaged items to our freepost address, sorry that this wasn't possible for you to do, because of this we were unable to resolve the issue for you.
Thank you for your continues support, we appreciate it.

“Order tin biscuits as a gift asked for a message to be included and it was delivered no message and although it was a Christmas gift it was delivered early in December. The same happened with another Christmas biscuit hamper also delivered early Dec.. the biscuits are excellent quality but will think twice next year. I didn't want to leave the order too late because of selling out.”
Hi Eileen,
Sorry to read your feedback.
I can confirm that the order including the Festive Biscuit Tin didn't include a gift message as there wasn't one added and paid for on that order.
When any orders are placed on our website, we are unfortunately unable to put items on hold and deliver on required dates as items will always run the risk of selling out.
Sorry this isn't suitable for you however, we always appreciate your loyalty and support.

“Ordered the Brazil nuts in chocolate and no doubt they will be lovely as usual. What I couldn’t believe was the shrinkflation of this year’s product versus last year. The product is significantly smaller than last year.”
Hi Lesley
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.
Warm wishes

“Products great but even though the package had 48hrs tracked on it. Took a week to receive it. Missed being able to give it to my sister as present, as she had returned to France before it arrived.”

“Since the products purchased are Christmas gifts I am unable to comment on their quality.
My score is based on how the products were delivered which was not satisfactory.
I received notification from Royal Mail that they would be delivered on a specific day. This did not happen and I received no further communication from them, as to when the products would arrive. By chance, when I went to put rubbish in my main refuge bin, I discovered the parcel from Ringtons. Given that the products ordered were edible, I was appalled that they were left in a dirty refuge bin.”
Dear reviewer,
We’re very sorry to hear about the delivery issue and that the parcel was left in a rubbish bin. To avoid this happening again please make sure to alert Royal Mail of your leaving instructions once out for dispatch with them. We totally understand if you would like to return the items, please contact our Customer Care Team 0800 052 2440 to help.
Warm regards,

“Most of what I ordered was fine but the fruit cake I ordered (the main reason for my order) was terrible, and when I went to leave a review for it it came up 404 not found. Maybe I got the last of a bad bunch and it has been discontinued but it was very disappointing”
Hi There,
We’re really sorry to hear that the Sultana & Cherry Fruit Cake didn’t meet your expectations and that’s never the experience we want for our customers.
Just to let you know, this was a limited-edition item created especially for the festive season, and it has now sold out.
Regarding the issue with leaving a review, I appreciate you letting us know about the 404 error. I’ll make sure this is passed on to our technical team so they can investigate.
We truly value all feedback, whether it’s positive or constructive, as it helps us improve and serve you better.
Kind regards,
Team Ringtons

“The top layer of the Christmas tin of biscuits were all broken , shame as they were a gift , I can understand transit problems but disappointed ,,, but that means I will have to eat all the lovely biscuits myself ,,, sad but not so sad ,,,,”

“I enjoy a selection of Ringtons teas. Sadly there continues to be a lack of Gluten Free choice in biscuits and you can only eat white chocolate lemon cookies for so long before they get boring! I have bought gifts for family and they enjoy the selection very much.”
Hi Sandra,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you enjoy the tea selections, but we’re sorry to hear the gluten-free biscuit options aren’t meeting your needs. You'll be delighted to know we have launched our new Rewards bar with five crunchy chocolate bars each wrapped in smooth, creamy milk chocolate - perfect for snack time or a little treat on the go. Individually wrapped for freshness and gluten free.

“I bought a savoury nibbles gift box as a Christmas present along with two other items. They arrived in a large box. I was not over impressed with the savoury nibbles box, it was damaged on one corner and also the items were thrown about inside the box. Nothing was fixed down to stop them moving about and I do not feel the presentation was up to the standard for the price paid.”
Hi Sharon,
We’re really sorry to hear your savoury nibbles gift box arrived damaged and unsettled inside the outer packaging. That isn’t up to our standard, and we understand how disappointing this is.
Could you please contact our customer care team on 0800 052 2440 or tea@ringtons.co.uk and they will happily resolve this for you.
Thank you for letting us know, and again our apologies for the disappointment.
Kind regards,

“I ordered The Monty hamper online for my mum for Christmas thinking it would be delivered in the blue box as was advertised on the website. However the items from the hamper were delivered in a plain brown box.
I admit the products are not the problem but I confess to being very disappointed that the hamper box was missing”
Hi Gina,
We're sorry to hear the packaging didn’t meet your expectations. I think you may have confused our Monty box with a different gift box. Our Monty box is designed for quick dispatch, with free delivery, as it comes in the brown box as seen on the website. In the information description it does say 'Please note that the box in the image is also used as the dispatch outer, unless other products are purchased alongside the Monty.' We understand how important gift presentation so we have created a number of specific Christmas and everyday occasion gift boxes. If you would like to discuss this further please contact our customer care team who will be happy to assist you. Once again we apologise for any disappointment caused.
Kind regards,
Team Ringtons
