Placed an order in Sept on 48hr delivery, chased multiple times since with automated reply only saying 'please be patient', which feels dismissive and rude given it was meant to be delivered in 2 day... See more

Scam!!
Scam!!! Never received. No refund. Generic email response “we dispatched in bulk please be patient” TWICE. It’s been nearly a month!! Reported them and going through bank.

Absolute scam waiting a month for my order all emails are responded with automatic email response, cannot get a reply at all, please do not order from this criminal company, they should be prosecuted for theft
⚠️ Do not trust this company
⚠️ Do not trust this company. They constantly send discount emails, but once you place an order, you never receive it. I waited three weeks and contacted them — their only response was that it was “shipped in a big batch,” but they refused to provide tracking details and then stopped replying altogether. This feels like a scam. Save your money and avoid purchasing from them.
Beware American Candy Stores SCAM
Beware! Do not order from this company they are scammers! I wouldn't even give them 1 star and I wish I had read the reviews on here before placing an order. Ordered goods on 13th September, paid for Royal Mail 48 Tracked delivery, have never received goods. Automated (generic) reply to emails, no phones answered. I can't believe their website is still live and they are allowed to get away with this!! Have reported to my bank. AVOID AT ALL COSTS
fraudulent
very similar to most of the reviews here, order was weeks ago, no tracking, unable to call as their number isn't real, bo response to webforms, emails or messenger requests, i am now dealing with my bank.

I wouldn’t even give this company 1 star, it is a total scam and I am wondering how they are even getting away with stealing peoples money for so long. I placed an order on 13th Sept and have still not received it. I have emailed them and got no reply and the contact no listed on their website tells you that you have dialled an incorrect number. I wish I had read the reviews before ordering because I have been well and truly conned. I am now trying to get my money back through PayPal.
Steal your money

I have had to contact by bank for help with this awful company. I received an email advertising their sale so placed an order. A week passed without hearing anything so emailed them asking what was going on. Their reply was to be patient as they are busy. Fast forward another week and a half... I am still without an order, they are ignoring my emails for a refund and now I have had to contact my bank to get my money back. AWFUL COMPANY. DO NOT ORDER.
